What can I say?

Rating: 10/10 (6 July 2005)

Am I wrong when I say that American Beauty is a representation of America as a country through the use of an average household? Every leading character carries a different aspect of the different communities and also politically and culturally. The acting is absolutely superb and Sam Mendes really made a mark. Since I am a young film directing student I am still learning a lot from directors like Sam, therefore this movie really created a footstool for potential new movies and also shows America where their 'Dream' went wrong. That is entirely my point of view and I may be entirely wrong. All I want to do is make people think about the reason for the film. The biggest lesson I got out of the movie is that there is beauty in everything - even dead birds! It grabs the audience in such a fashion that - when I saw it for the first time, I was interrupted by fourth-years who wanted to see it and I felt like killing them because of the fact that they broke the atmosphere. That is all I have to say and there is no more...ff
