In all my life, which I admit is somewhat short, I've never been touched so deeply.

Rating: 10/10 (25 September 1999)

I like to think I know a lot about movies, being an aspiring screenwriter myself, I tend to look deeper than an average movie-goer. This movie requires you to "look closer" than any movie I have ever seen. I am of the "MTV" generation, and the only other movie that affected me in this way was The Truman Show. Kevin Spacey is ABSOLUTELY incredible. I really can't say anything more. The choir chick from American Pie is incredible. The guy that played Ricky was incredible. EVERYONE in this movie was incredible. It's incredibly cliched, but this movie was more of a poem than a movie. I was completely flabbergasted when I saw it the first showing of opening day here in Spokane. My life was literally changed after seeing this movie. I've never had such a great respect for my life and everything about this screwed up, beautiful life on this rock we call Earth.
