The most fulfilling movie experience of all time.

Rating: Null/10 (20 December 1999)

For those of you who have not yet seen American Beauty, some of us who have would consider you as "sinners". Anyone and everyone should experience this movie at some point in their lifetime. I would go so far as to say that it is a near-perfect film in every aspect. The acting from Spacey and Bentley is some of the most inspiring acting ever captured on film and Annette Bening is astonishingly perfect as the eccentric wife.
The movie is a plethora of beautiful sights as the director Sam Mendes fixates your eyes to the screen in scene after scene after scene. For his first feature film, I think Mendes deserves at least a nomination for Best Director. And Alan Ball deserves a nomination for his amazing script which all the actors bring to life with their amazing abilities and talents; Spacey with his wimpish impression of Lester, Bentley as the curious and gifted Ricky, Chris Cooper as Ricky's militant father, and Bening as Spacey's eccentric wife.
As I have said before, to not see this movie would be a mistake, for it teaches you to look closer at the things around you and find true beauty in every aspect of your life, and find things you would have otherwise passed by. Do not pass this by, because American Beauty is a timeless classic.
