A new classic

Rating: 10/10 (14 February 2000)

A modern classic and the first great film of the new millenium. Lester Burnham is a magnificent hero who inspires the audience to rebel, seek new goals and lift weights (well almost.) All characters are fully fleshed out in this magnificent film, particularly the neighbourhood voyeur Ricky, who could have been sadly caricatured as a weirdo geek,as in many other films.That Sam Mendes does not go down this road is to be credited....Go see it now or maybe again
