霓虹灯的微芒划破夜空，带给世界的是虚假的光明，却惹得人们对它顶礼膜拜。人们例行公事地生活着，言而无意，唱而无心。——1965年歌手Simon与Garfunkel推出的专辑主打歌曲《寂静之声》，后来也成为美国电影《毕业生》的主题曲。——歌曲以怀旧的旋律托着略微沉重的文字，寓意深刻，耐人寻味。如歌中最后唱到的“先知的话语当显现于地铁车站的墙上和穷人的廉价公寓中”，包裹于自己小小幸福中、自以为是地生活的人们，是否也当更真实地看看这个世界，听听沉默中的声音呢？
美国影片《毕业生》（The Graduate)拍摄于上世纪六十年代。新颖独特的视角、流畅新锐的拍摄手法使其一上映便犹如一股清新的风，从众多优秀影片中脱颖而出，获得了包括金球奖(Golden Globe Awards)、英国电影学院奖(British Academy Awards)及奥斯卡(Oscar Awards)等多项电影大奖，成为“新好莱坞电影”的先锋之作。
在成就《毕业生》这部经典之作的诸多因素中，影片的配乐无疑是其中最大的亮点之一。片中歌曲的创作者及演绎者保罗·西蒙(Paul Simon)和阿特·加芬克尔(ArtGarfunkel)是美国60年代最著名的双人组合。这对梦幻组合诗人般的气质，天籁般的和声吸引了《毕业生》的著名导演迈克·尼克尔斯(Mike Nichols)。他们三人的成功合作最终将这对黄金组合的音乐发挥到极致。片中的主题曲"The Sound of Silence(寂静之声)"、“Scarborough Fair(斯卡堡集市)”及插曲“Mrs Robinson(罗宾逊太太)”等至今魅力不减，盛誉不衰。本文将聚焦影片主题曲中的“The Sound of Silence(寂静之声)”，探寻作为构成电影艺术重要元素之一的电影音乐对本片主题、情节及风格定位等方面的重要作用。

歌词：
Hello darkness, my old friend, I've come to talk with you again.
Because a vision softly creeping, left its seeds while I was sleeping.
And the vision that was planted in my brain
Still remains within the sound of silence.
In restless dreams I walked along narrow streets of cobblestone.
Beneath the halo of a street lamp I turned my collar to the cold and damp.
When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light
That split the night and touched the sound of silence.
And in the naked light I saw ten thousand people, maybe more.
People talking without speaking, people hearing without listening,
People writing songs that voices never share.
And no one dared disturb the sound of silence.
"Fools" said I, "You do not know silence like a cancer grows.
Hear my words that I might teach you; take my arms that I might reach you."
But my words like silent raindrops fell, and echoed in the wells of silence.
And the people bowed and prayed to the neon god they made.
And the sign flashed out its warning in the words that it was forming.
And the sign said, "The words of the prophets are written
on the subway walls and tenement halls."
And whispered in the sounds of silence.
