Quite a great movie!

Rating: 10/10 (15 July 2019)

This's a great movie. Kevin Spacey plays a sexually frustrated middle-class husband named Lester Burnham who begins to reevaluate his life. In doing so he starts to enjoy things more often and even pursue his daughters friend. The movie's well shot, well acted and well written. It's a critique on what suburban life really is like vs how it's marketed. The beginning scene shows Lester behind his desk in front of a computer with the screen showing what resemble bars from a jail cell. The other actors are pretty good: Annette Bening plays Lester's neurotic wife Carolyn Burnham who's also a real estate broker, Wes Bentley plays the enigmatic artist who likes to film things with his camcorder who's also a small-time weed seller.
The music's great as well. It's a combination of classic songs and original compositions. I really like Elliot Smith's cover of the Beatles Because. It's really nice to hear. I really don't have much to say other than this's a great movie. It was considered on of the best movies from 1999 and it's aged pretty well. With that being said I highly recommend checking it out.
