Breathtaking

Rating: 10/10 (31 March 2000)

This is the best movie I have ever seen. Everything about it is amazing, from the sheer poetry of the script to the subtleties of the cinematography to the symbolism to the amazing acting. Kevin Spacey is brilliant- I don't think anyone could have done better as Lester Burnam, the deceased protagonist. Both Wes Bentley and Thora Birch are so compelling it's hard to take your eyes away. I think the real reason I love this movie, and would recommend it to everyone, is because of its message. That even with faults, life is beautiful and precious. SEE THIS MOVIE. See it more than once, and each time I promise you will discover more. I did.
