American Beauty is a real masterpiece.The topic is not a new one, but the movie is very refreshing and gives new inpulses to the suburbia-genre.The film succeds in making you laugh and cry at the same time.The actors really give life to this movie. Kevin Spacey is born to play this role and achieves to play every emotion you can imagine from sad and bored to rebellious, sarcastic and angry and at the end happy and loving.The rest of the cast is also great aspecially Anette Benning (you are really forced to hate her !!!) and Mena Suvari is manipulative vamp,who is not what she seems to be. There is really not much negative to say about this movie, it is flawless in its genre and a lot of fun.
