I'm confused

Rating: 7/10 (11 January 2005)

I had been very excited before I saw this movie because of its reputation - Oscars and other awards.but before I could get some pleasure from this picture I realized it is over.
although general I do not like Kevin Spacey, I must say that his performance was astonishing in this movie.his character was authentic and reliable.
There is only one thing which I could not understand - THE PIONT! what is the reason of this whole mess? where is a point of this story? everybody wants to see more than there is. because "american beauty" is well acted and funny but nothing more. the best scene: spacey's blood on the wall.
