Amazing....

Rating: 10/10 (25 October 2006)

Amazing....one of my favorite movies. A movie about American families can only be produced by a non American director (in this case, sam Mendes - from the UK). while presumably written by an American, Mendes captures what is wrong, not just with US families, but many western families, and with people in general. It is this that is hard hitting, and touches you in this movie....when you realise how completely flawed modern society is....and for no really good reason. This movie is about the rut. Lester is in the rut, as many of us are. The difference is, he has a revelation and breaks out of it...while many of us don't. Go see this movie, you'll shake a bit, but if it may shake up your life and get you not to take things for granted anymore.
