brilliant

Rating: Null/10 (5 September 2004)

Beautiful movie, not like the others and that's why it's so good. Even in the movie Mena Suvari's character Angela Hayes says: "There's nothing' worse in this world than being ordinary"! and that's damn true!!! The main idea of the movie is not so obvious as it may seems: Middle age crisis, HELL NO! the idea of this movie is EVERYBODY SEE THE BEAUTY IN THEIR OWN WAY it may be stupid and ugly it may be expensive and pretty, useless and pathetic but it's your beauty and you can die for it! Tons of little things can explain a lot to you every little move can be so beautiful for you and nobody else but that is the all value of this only you can see it in good light and f**k stereotypes, f**k clichés, f**k everythin' you don't like or you don't stand for be yourself as you want it to be and that's what Kevin Spacey and his character Lester Burnham trying' to show us, everythin' around is pretty boring and why don't do somethin' stupid like smoke pot, buy sport car, quit job and stuff. The other side of movie carry a little different idea, the idea of fake, the idea of willing being somebody else like Chris Cooper character Col. Frank Fits lives by the strict rules, hates gays and thinks that his son is perfect example what colonel son have to be, but no his son sells pot and the colonel is gay!!! Mena Suvari's character Angela Hayes lives with the dream that's she's unique, that's every guy droolin' over her, that she's special, HELL NO - she's usual, she's ordinary and somewhere deep inside of her she knows that that's why she pretends real hard and sometimes forget about all her inferiority and thinks that's she's the one. Everythin' in this world is relatively, everythin' has it own price, everythin' is more than just your thought and you have to live with it that's the way this world turns. A+
