"best movie ever"?... not enough..

Rating: 10/10 (21 May 2003)

it's very hard for me to think that another film like this will be ever created. i've seen it over 50 times, last time just half an hour ago. i know this may be regarded as some kind of "eccentric behaviour". many of my friends think that way. i do think that way sometimes. but i just can't stop watching it over and over again. it realy was an eye opener for myself. that's why i sometime use it as a "human sonar". if asked, someone tells me he didn't like the movie, i kind of label him. i know it's not right, but i can't help it. i think the movie has 2 levels of perception : like/dislike and understand/"what???" . and if someone doesn't even like the movie, it's clear for me that he doesn't have what it takes to realy understand it. if he doesn't like it, he's on a completely different route from mine. to conclude, if after watching "american beauty" you didn't find yourself asking questions to yourself, you never will. for those guys who rated this film with 1, 2,3,..6 : you are lester before "getting it back"!
