Wow!

Rating: 10/10 (9 October 1999)

The first thing I said when the movie was over was, "Wow." "American Beauty" was a very interesting movie that takes a very intimate look at life as it really is. Most people don't see the reality in their life because they don't want to. They can't face it.
I went to see this movie because I am a HUGE Kevin Spacey fan. He outdid himself in this movie. His performance is definitely worthy of Oscar consideration. He pulls off this character and it's growth so well. I was absolutely dumbfounded by his performance and this movie.
"American Beauty" made me consider the reality of my life. It's not scary, it's just reality, and people need to deal with it.
I recommend this movie to EVERYONE. It's a very moving film.
