Document Summary
Energetic music that plays when mrs. robinson invites benjamin into her house. Starts out brash with mrs. robinson"s invitation, but goes down insound level so that dialogue can be heard. Music is well coordinated with the dialogue: accents in music when mrs. robinson asks ben personal questions like what do you think of me? , the fox trot. Plays during the hotel scene: humour presented by various couples, in which the 2 individuals in all these couples are of the same age, in contrast to ben"s relationship with mrs. robinson. Music is well-coordinated: when he walks into a party, this song gets louder, indicating proximity of performers, the tango. Plays when he walks into the hotel"s bar: scarborough fair. Plays when mrs. robinson"s daughter, elaine, finds out that ben is with her mother. Song represents lost love and lost opportunity: big bright green pleasure machine --> played in strip clubs, contracle.
