What a beauty

Rating: 10/10 (1 May 2004)

American Beauty is equivalent to a modern piece of art. It is a beautifull well crafted piece of art and in that case, movie.
There is a depth about this movie that makes it interesting and exciting each time you will watch it.
It shows the last year of Lester Burnham's life; a year that was a triumph for him as he managed to make changes to his life and transform himself from the big loser to the ultimate winner. Following his life and the changes he is going through.
In addition we get to see how these changes affect those around him.
As if the above is not enough, American Beauty features a mix of very different and interesting characters from his family neighbours etc.
Above and beyond everything this is a movie that will make you smile, laugh, cry, think and realize a lot, that is if the right attention is paid and the viewer has the inner depth to realize all these.
I wish they make movies like this more often.
