Simple yet so complicated

Rating: 7/10 (20 November 2009)

Alright, it is one of those movies that you don't really understand well because it is one of those that leaves you with an open ending and at your own to conclude the reflections of your inside more than anything else. One thing I can guarantee you is that you won't get bored. The story is entertaining with all the elements necessary; great actors Spacey and Benning, beautiful girls, and a story that is pretty much yours or one of your neighbors/friends/acquaintances.
So, the story you know quite well. The name of the lead character is Lester so you can guess the mood. He is leading the ordinary life of our everyday and this is why exactly the movie is so scary. The movie is trying to show us that though our life is simple and predictable because of the routine surrounding, it can lead us to many complications and ends in a very tragic way like Lester's. Look at your life, as boring as it is currently, can't you see that you can guess the rest of your days easily? Doesn't it scare you? That's why sometimes you need to add some dangerous elements to it like having feelings to your daughter's best friend, smoking drugs, or any other destructive activity. Living is truly an art or even a science that you need to learn to know how to live right.
