One of the best movies ever!

Rating: 10/10 (23 August 2000)

This movie was so good for a number of reasons. Number one, is the fact that it takes place in Anytown, USA, so for all you know, this movie could be about you, or someone you know. Number two, is the fact that it shows how a generation of kids refuse to accept all the things they have. It also shows how our parents refuse to be a part of our lives unless they want to. It shows how we live in a culture that puts too much emphasis on the possessions we own. It was very uplifting to know that there are people out there who don't need to have the most expensive car, or a mink coat, or the nicest jewelry. Spacey himself says, "It's just a couch! This isn't life, this is just stuff. And it's become more important to you than living." It shows how we, as a society, come to accept the world around us. At any time they could have changed what they were, but they didn't. One last thing that it shows, is the fact that as much as we want things to change, when it comes down to it, we are the enemies of change.
