What a way to start (1st film for Dir. Mendes) ... a beauty!

Rating: Null/10 (28 January 2000)

What do you find when after decades of European American adulthood, you discover that your need for freshness and new experience TOTALLY exceeds what you find in your 'stupid little life' ... you find American Beauty! Now you can beat the rush and find it at a theater near you.
There are many parts and pieces to this movie that I find very troubling ... I'd like to personally thank all the responsible parties for bringing those discomforts to my awareness.
This movie is an American Beauty. Thank you.
