Very overrated and quite insulting really. The scene with the plastic bag floating in the wind for ages was arrogant and stupid.

The film is a modern classic that reflects American society, all the hypocrisy and contradictions of its values and the people whose lives they define, and the struggle of truth and life and art to be free of them. Great performances, visual motifs and a haunting score give the f...( read more)

I think that it's safe to say that American Beauty and M. Night Shyamalan's supernatural-thriller The Sixth Sense were definity the sleeper hits of 1999.
Here Kevin Spacey shows the amazing form that he's been showing for the last ten years, in films like The Life of David Gale,...( read more) -

It's undoubtedly a great movie. It says a lot about who we are as humans. However, it's just a little to clean. It never takes that next step into storytelling. The characters all reach this pinnacle in their development, but fail to go anywhere. The message is great, but I think...( read more)

Uno dei film della categoria "Film che so a memoria", l'avrò visto un milione di volte, non stanca mai, e trasmette sempre la solita piacevole tristezza.

American Beauty is a comedy because we laugh at the absurdity of the hero's problems. And a tragedy because we can identify with his failure. full review

August 19, 2007No doubtedly one of the best modern movies, and my absolute favourite so far. American Beauty casts light on various aspects and is very daring, which I applaud. It was magical the first time I watched it. Nothing but praise for this movie from me!

June 18, 2007"I guess I could be pretty pissed off about what happened to me... but it's hard to stay mad, when there's so much beauty in the world. Sometimes I feel like I'm seeing it all at once, and it's too much, my heart fills up like a balloon that's about to burst... And then I remember to relax, and stop trying to hold on to it, and then it flows through me like rain and I can't feel anything but gratitude for every single moment of my stupid little life... You have no idea what I'm talking about, I'm sure. But don't worry... you will someday." Ang ganda! ^*^
