A breathtaking movie that will be talked about a lot

Rating: 10/10 (6 January 2000)

American Beauty was (in my opinion) the best movie of the fabulous year that was 1999. It was a really good mix of acting, realism, and... beauty.
A lot of people say that it's about a white picket fence neighbourhood in a perfect town doesn't hold what it seems. But to me, it wasn't about that... the movie's about waking up, having your heart lead you and not having your career, your looks, or your money lead you. Lester Burnham used to live a very happy life that was alive with his wife and daughter, but somehow it disapeared through the mist of what a lot of us can relate to.
I think that all the performances in this movie were grade A. Especially Wes Bentley who played the confident and already awake Ricky Fitts.

I don't want to give away the whole plot, so I just think you should go out and see it for yourself. The pity is it isn't playing in theatres and it's way better to see this movie on the big screen.
American Beauty - American Realism.
