Beauty must be in the beholder's mind.

Rating: Null/10 (19 August 2001)

I went to see American Beauty with considerable expectations; after all, a movie with Kevin Spacey ought to be a killer! Well, it wasn't his fault, it was the movie's. Being non-American I can't guess to what extent he symbolized or satirized the average married American midlle-aged guy, but his world sure ain't mine. Maybe characters like those in the movie do live in a deadly content-less boring world, or 'real' world such as shown but watching it isn't my cup of tea. Cheap and nasty, I must say, no more than 1 out of 10.
