If you haven't felt MOVED by a movie, you haven't seen American Beauty

Rating: 10/10 (31 January 2008)

It's not often a movie like this comes along and resonates in your mind affecting the way you think and feel about life! This is that kind of movie. I haven't seen this movie many times and I feel like I deeply know the characters and understand them as if I've seen it thousands of times. I can't wait to see it again and again so the more subtle nuances appear and become familiar to me... Every character and actor offers something mundane something ordinary that you will immediately associate with or at least recognize. and then there's the element of NOT wanting to BE mundane. Not wanting to feel ordinary. Not wanting to be in the same ole routine. Who can't identify with that feeling? * This movie moves me and leaves me silent and full of thoughts and ideas that I can't express! I'm trying to explain it now and I am left with only one phrase "You have to see this movie!"
