The most perfect film I've ever seen.

Rating: 10/10 (24 January 2000)

Let me start off by saying that this film has taken the place of my favorite film, Star Wars{don't laugh-that's one hell of a picture}. Star Wars reigned for 14 years as my favorite film. That's a long time. Since I was 3, I loved Star Wars. Then, on December 5th{I remember because I had the choice of this and seeing the senior class play at my high school for a second time,that was incredible. I'm very glad I choose this film, though},1999, I walked into the 6:25 of American Beauty with my friends. One had seen the film3 times previously, and his Girlfriend had seen it once. {note:I am giving you all these details to tell you how vividly this night stuck out for me} I was with him and his gf and my soon to be gf. We sat down, and the movie began. I was expecting a masterpiece..I got near perfection. My expectations were so high..It killed them all. The film just moved me. It made me shake,laugh,cry several times, and just love life. it made me see the beauty in everything around me. That was the night i asked the girl i was with out. The movie just made me realize the beauty in everything. I really can't describe it in words. it's hard to articulate, But this film changed the way I think about my own life..it's amazing. 10/10 A+
