2nd best of 1999 (great nonetheless)

Rating: 10/10 (12 June 2000)

This movie was one of the few movies I really felt like crying in the end. This movie was a great experience for such a young boy like boy (15). The ending was depressing and brightening (nice oxymoron, isn't it). I thought "Magnolia" was better, but there is no doubt... is it? Okay, the Academy Award for Kevin Spacey was the right Oscar ( I want to laugh any minute I see his face in this movie) and he proves again that he's one of the best actors of the last years (maybe ever). Annette Bening is sometimes overreacting (but, as I think, intentional). Cinematography really good. Best Picture: Magnolia would have deserved better. Script: A script with such an ending line and that brought me to tears IS great. Ok, what more to say about this movie. Somebody said, an instant classic. Of course, he is. I hope I haven't said anything wrong about this picture and it shows that we can have hope in Hollywood's directors. My rating: 10/10
