It's a great song very much Simon and Garfunkle going for a Beatles style hit right down to "Coo-coo-ca-choo". Hey but it works in that way in being such an invigorating upbeat tune, that in addition works so well in context in the scenes its used in the film.)Louis Morganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07933180959140340196noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2457552600380761837.post-3051137692243983782017-06-14T10:35:33.732-04:002017-06-14T10:35:33.732-04:00Tahmeed: The Sound Of Silence came out in 64 and M...Tahmeed: The Sound Of Silence came out in 64 and Mrs. Robinson was written for The Graduate.Luke Highamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07075392435078135757noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2457552600380761837.post-77678467249722982062017-06-14T10:33:25.322-04:002017-06-14T10:33:25.322-04:00Louis: I'm not sure if they originate from ...Louis: I'm not sure if they originate from 'The Graduate'but could you give thoughts on 'Mrs Robinson' and 'The Sound of Silence'?

Warner though gives an effective performance in a very tricky part. Warner manages to make his Evans both sympathetic and quite the problematic sort. He does garner sympathy by portraying his desire to go home so earnestly, but not thinly. Warner shows that Evans is never single minded in this and importantly portrays in every moment the conflict in himself to do what is right or what is easy. Warner's great in being able to capture the meekness of the role in a very specific way. He does not over do it though but instead attaches it effectively to whenever Evans really has to step up. He captures so honestly that sort of person who just can't quite do what he needs to even though he does recognize the problem. When O'Rourke acts up Warner is terrific by showing Evans taking in the problem, recognizing it, then stopping himself from really acting on since it will prevent his return home.)<br /><br />Williamson - 4.5(Williamson gives a brilliant performance in a most difficult role. Williamson's work is fascinating in the way in the early scenes he sort of presents what might often be considered the soldier's soldier in a different kind of film. He delivers in bringing that larger than life presence needed for such a character, but always is careful to underline it with the real pathetic humanity within the behavior. Williamson shows the way O'Rourke attempts to build himself up but sabotages himself all the same. There a great moment where he speaks of the devil, as though he this soldier of the world, yet in the story Williamson brings such a vindictiveness towards all those listening by saying they don't understand it and Williamson with this shows O'Rourke reinforcing the idea to himself that the story is meaningless. Williamson portrays the way O'Rourke is constantly beating on himself as much as he lashes out at everyone else. Williamson creates this terrible mess of a man that only becomes worse and is remarkable the way he captures just how miserable his character is while realizing in this particular way natural to a "true soldier")<br /><br />Madness of King George maybe. <br /><br />Calvin:<br /><br />Lithgow's rather unwieldy so he might have been great or he might have been terrible depending on the day.
