American Beauty https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/9/9a/American_Beauty_1999_film_poster.jpg Dir: Sam Mendes Genre: Drama Year: 1999 Remember when I said all of the artsy/emo kids cited American Beauty as the best movie growing up? Well, I was one of them--but I told no one. I just watched American Beauty by myself, thinking that this all spoke to me so personally and was the deepest thing I'd ever seen. I wanted to be the kid Well, the years have passed and my feelings on American Beauty have evolved quite a bit. This was probably in my top 5 at one point, but now I realize that it's a tad melodramatic and probably not as deep as it seemed back when I was a teenager. However, I don't want to spend so much time taking away from the movie. It really is a superbly written film, with just enough weirdness and fantasy to give it its own unique style that hadn't really been seen before. And that ending is timeless, no matter if you're 13 or 30. Spectacular. --- "A more mature answer than I expected."~ Jakyl25 "Sephy's point is right."~ Inviso ... Copied to Clipboard! |
