One of the most important films of the 90's

Rating: 10/10 (18 April 2001)

Never before has a film challenged American way of thinking. This film does something that no other film has ever done . . . effectively. . . by noting that the American Dream is not the key to happiness, but a key to a superficial/materialistic lifestyle. It is our responsibility to find happiness within ourselves and to our own codes of morality rather than conforming to the modes of thought that have been handed down from generations before us.
To nail that down as one key message is quite a statement, but i think this film has much more to say than the simple American dream, but it has things to say about ourselves as well.
This is not an easy film to take and i know it has offended many, as it should have; but it is important to note that this film isnt supposed to be a film where we walk out happy and joyous, rather it is a film that we walk out of disturbed but greatly refreshed, for it is then that we are no longer blinded by the trivilties that we call life
