confusion or is that ordinary?

Rating: 6/10 (22 July 2005)

American Beauty they say, and i fail to see the movie reflect what it was about. There are so many movies that i walk away from, confused at the big deal of the movie, this was, once again, another one of those movies..but something about it was different..it didn't make me frustrated so that i went to grab food during it's playing, rather i was entranced by the work. The best picture award, though unnecessary, was i guess just another way of reflecting how poignant the piece was. I can't put my hands on it, American beauty, although a reflection of our times, and how things are things for no reason, and it's all OK because it's just about being ordinary. The "American" in the title is right, but the "Beauty"..well, i fail to see them support that. sure, the beauty is in the "ordinary" things that happen in lives of the character, but it's isn't very relatable and this "ordinary" just turns into melodramatic...just live, who cares, it's life, it's ordinary, so what if it's ordinary.
