This movie changed my life

Rating: 10/10 (5 February 2005)

I know it sounds like a cliché, but this movie literally changed my life. They don't come around very often, but occasionally a movie can make you see life differently, and this movie is like that.
Funny, sad, brilliantly acted, with fabulous scenes and memorable quotes... American Beauty is so much more than just a movie. This is a movie that takes on the big questions - the meaning of life, relationships, love, hate and courage... and does it in a way that seems somehow real and true without being forced.
American Beauty deserved all the praise it got, and then some. And occasionally, I know this sounds cheesy but I find myself sometimes stopping and just appreciating a simple moment for its beauty. This is the only world we have, and life is sometimes a mess but who of us would have it any other way?
Go see this movie!!!
