What can be said?

Rating: 10/10 (11 October 1999)

What can be said about this film that hasn't been said already? It has been a long time since a movie took hold of my emotions and refused to let them go. I've seen it twice and I still can't get it out of my mind, and I feel it's one of those movies that you can watch time and time again and learn something new from it with each viewing. I've placed it in my personal Top 3 of all time, along with Shawshank Redemption and Dr. Strangelove. I've never seen a movie with a cast of characters as unique and individual as the characters in this movie. While each of them was a far cry from being perfect (but who really is?) I felt that I could relate with every one of them, and though their actions were quite bizarre, they were all within the scope of reality. Kevin Spacey's narrative, as well as his performance, was nothing short of amazing. He found the meaning of life (and what is the meaning of life, you ask? It's right in front of your face.) "I can have only gratitude for every moment of my stupid, little, life. You probably don't know what I'm talking about, but one day, you will." The perfect ending to a nearly perfect movie. See it for yourself, and leave all of your inhibitions and prejudices at the door.. you will not be disappointed. 10/10
