My Second Favorite Movie of All Time

Rating: 10/10 (13 March 2007)

I can not look at a floating bag with out having the line, "Sometimes there is so much beauty in the world..." To me, this a such a poetic piece of film-making. It's dreamlike and since I recently saw Sunset Boulevard I see the similarities to the the structure of the film. And what I appreciate is the intertwining story lines which is so well done. It's shocking to me a movie like Crash is held up like some groundbreaking work. Woof i did not like that film at all. But American Beauty is really well crafted film. I do not think Kevin Spacy will ever do better work. He exhausted his range here and now all of his tricks and ticks seem trite and bland to me.
