Blooming with roses of power, sadness and beauty.

Rating: 9/10 (14 February 2008)

OK, I would love to go into great detail of how mesmerising and powerful American beauty is, however there are that many good things I have to say about this film I could not just simply cram them all into some IMDb comment, however I will quickly brainstorm just a few things to why I think this film should be remembered for all time and to why (in my opinion) it is simply one of the most moving, powerful and beautiful films ever made in history. American beauty portrays the hatred, sadness, frustration(sexual and emotional)and the hidden happiness that lurks in the depths of American suburbia. With killer performances off Kevin Spacey, Annette Bening and Wes Bentley this film does not fail to show some of the best acting I've ever seen in a film. Deep, powerful scenes are also a huge advantage of this film for example, Wes Bentley's monologue of how there is so much beauty in the world. The film, especially towards the end, contains a series of unexpected twists that will shock and grip the viewer to the very last emotionally charged scene. American Beauty is a rare treat and must be remembered. Phenomenal.
