Whoever likes American Beauty, knows what live is about

Which one of you has never had the feeling, at one moment, that you are completely fulfilled with happiness and nothing can hurt you? everything looks even beautiful and miraculous at the same time.
Maybe it lasted a few seconds, it may have been much shorter, but sometimes, without doing any drugs, looking around to whatever you see, you will feel invincible and enjoy really everything. You see only beauty. If you would die at that exact moment, you would at least have seen heaven once in your live.
If you don't know what I'm talking about, you will probably not get the essence of the movie (and it will stay with you for a long time, luckily).
That is, to my opinion, the basic theme of the movie. I'm not religious, but the sentence "sometimes you can look god in the eyes" is one I still hold deer to this very day.
I think everybody knows those moments in your live and I think this movie lets us think about what should be really our priority; material possessions and beauty which is cultural defined, or the beauty YOU experience, without warning and seemingly without cause. It just comes to you if your lucky enough to recognize it.
