Look closer...

American Beauty. What can people say about a movie like this? It's hilarious yet serious at the same time. It's one of the most cynical movies you will ever see. It offers a true honest view of what a typical American family living in the suburbs is like and what happens behind the closed doors. It also has a closing monologue that affected me for life: a lesson about what happens to you the second before you die. How it's true that your life flashes in front of your eyes. It had me wondering if I will ever experience that and the movie assures me that I will one day.
