absolute brilliance

Rating: 10/10 (20 May 2004)

American BEAUTY* was the best movie i have ever seen, after seeing it 3 years after it was released i wish i had seen it in the cinema. This movie really changes people's lives, it truly deserved Best Picture as it sums up American Suburban Hell quite well. These people are trying to live the American Dream tho in reality are living an American Nightmare, none of them are happy although they do something about that and you see there lives transform. You really learn to see beauty in anything, the movie was also funny while having dramatic impact this done for box office booty no doubt. I wonder how different this film would have been if it was independently made. I think all the actors except for Wes Bently performed magically, and was disappointed that Mena and Thora were not nominated for Oscars that year. I would recommend this to anyone it is SUPERB!!!
