A masterpiece

Rating: Null/10 (30 October 2002)

This is a movie about the beauty that exists in the world and how the beauty is lost in the "process". I do not believe that the American dream is that bad as portrayed in the movie. Just that one has to live the American dream with a little caution. The movie is about what the heroes really want to do and about what they are forced to do unwillingly so that they project the right image to the society.
There are many different little messages in the movie but the main one I think is said last. That we should feel enormous gratitude for every little moment in our stupid miserable life. And that we should feel happy and satisfied inside ourselves no matter what happens around us. We should appreciate little things in life and success after all is not everything. Lusts are pure once we understand them and identify the reasons why we have them. Emotional void is the real problem; However there is no reason why we should feel in such way since the world around us is so beautiful.

The movie had an excellent script, was brilliantly directed, and had a very touching score written by Thomas Newman. The performances of all the main actors were great. And let me tell you my favorite quote: "My job concerns mainly masking my contempt for the a**holes in change and at least once a day...". Brilliant!
