Depressing but very real.

Rating: 9/10 (5 September 2010)

I felt depressed after the ending. I thought "that's not the life I want to live!". But after Lester Burnham's final words, I completely understood the meaning of the movie and life overall...
Sometimes we live the life we don't want but we can always change it. It's a matter of different things.
Lester has everything anyone else can ask for. But things not always work in a so called perfect life...
What I really enjoyed about the film is how American families really live. It displays reality through a very peculiar manner. There's plenty of black humor, and situations derived by causality.
Kevin Spacey delivers a great performance as Lester. He displays the reality of millions of men in the world. Annette Bening gives a fantastic performance. Extraordinary mix of desperation, frustration, and the burdens of being a mad woman. Wes Bentley was a decent choice for playing Ricky. The guy looks disturbed. Thora Birch demonstrates again she's a very fine actress. Mena Suvair is extremely sexy, pretty, and turned me on. What I liked the best about her acting is that she was very natural. That's quality. Chris Cooper was also great. The man is a very talented actor. Pether Gallagher is just good.
This is a movie that will make you reflex about your life and how to enjoy it at it's full. It also demonstrates that sometimes it's not that easy to understand everything that happens in your life. It's up to us to give life a real meaning and live it the way we want.
Sometimes it felt like a satire and it also works.
