Rating: 10/10 (2 October 2000)

**********AMERICAN BEAUTY**********
The Plot: Lester Burnham (Kevin Spacey) and Carolyn Burnham (Annette Bening) are on the outside, a perfectly married couple with a perfectly happy daughter, Jane (Thora Birch). But on the inside, each of them are slipping into a hopeless depression. That is when Lester decides to turn his miserable life around, therefore turning everyone else's upside down. 85%
The Acting: Annette Bening and Kevin Spacey got lots of credit for their roles, which they rightfully deserve. But, the rest of the cast are unbelievably convincing, too. Thora Birch has proven to us she is the world's best teenage actress, and Mena Suvari is a close runner up. Wes Bentley is brilliantly impressive as Ricky, while Chris Cooper is chillingly convincing. 100%
The Screenplay/Directing: Alan Ball and Sam Mendes are the perfectly matched, they both put in so much effort into this amazing film. Alan Ball's script is edited to perfection, and Sam Mende's direction is outstanding and full of effort. 99%
Other: American Beauty has an outstanding soundtrack, awesome decoration and lovely make-up for its small extra points. 78%
Overall: American Beauty got five, awesomely deserved Academy Awards, and it is undoubtley the best movie of 1999. Not only the best movie of 1999, actually. The best film ever made in goddamn history. 100%
