An American Beauty

Rating: 10/10 (25 November 2005)

A true American Beauty. This film is one of the best films I have ever seen and mixes genres so well it reminds me of nothing I have ever seen before. American Beauty is a Beauty of a film that seems so real, in fact more real than any other before of so far after it. The story is really great, it feels so real and never pulls any punches even if it might break your nose in the proses. The screenplay is amazing I would give it a similar explanation as the story though. The acting is some of the strongest ever filmed. Kevin Spacey gives a performance that will live in history as one of the best, Annette Bening is also amazing but not quite Kevin Spacey. The other performances by actors such as Chris Cooper, Mena Suvari, Thora Birch, and Wes Bentley are all also Oscar worthy. The direction is truly perfect, Sam Mendes is an amazing director and this is by far his best film, he fits every single part together so well. He is the perfect director of our time and this is his perfect film. The visual effects are great, but not quite the level of the rest of the perfect film. Possibly the best film ever, I love it how the characters are one way in the beginning but than contradict that in the end. Every one should see this hilarious and disturbing masterpiece.
