SPOILERS!!!!! They're everywhere don't read this if you haven't seen it!! What am i saying if you haven't seen it you're crazy! go rent it right now! When i went to watch this movie i knew nothing about it. I laughed, i cried, i was shocked. I fell in love with the characters or i hated them. Either way there was a real connection. At the beginning of the film, the storyline is so common you can identify with it, but as it progresses, the plot thickens more and more and you are taken into the life of Lester Burnham. The portrayals of each character are perfect, the acting and the casting. The way it makes you feel afterwards is just amazing. it is such a depressing yet feel-good movie, you almost don't know what to feel except that you have witnessed something amazing. The end provides such a twist that you are confused for a few seconds... who killed Lester? we find that it was colonel fits, but tricky tricky film-making leads you to believe it was his wife.very clever! My favorite part (and my favorite scene from any movie EVER) was definitely when Ricky and Jane are in his bedroom and they are watching the video of the plastic bag in the wind. it is such a peaceful and inspiring quote. "Sometimes there's so much beauty in the world i feel like i can't take it, like my heart's gonna cave in." That is how this movie is. It is very beautiful and once it is over you are sad that it IS over because it makes everything trivial seam important and worthwhile. The way Lester's character is written is comedic. like the way he handles his wife's affair with the real estate agent and the manner he goes about quitting his job and working at Smiley's. It is calm yet excited, simple yet complex, funny yet serious. Kevin Spacey's performance and Alan Ball's writing created a perfect character. All-in-all i loved every thing about this movie.. the comedy, the deepness, the awkwardness's, and the sadness of the life of a middle-aged man and his family. well-done. bravo. this movie gets a million stars!
