Review of American Beauty (1999) by Kevin F — 30 Jan 2016
My only reservation is that I hate it when I can see the gears of the writer's mind turning. Feels like its his own cathartic "I'm a victim of western culture which is horrible" fantasy.
That said, great movie. Tone is perfect. Characters work quite well, though they teeter toward stereotype and caricature. Which is pretty hypocritical considering the blatant message being megaphoned.
Kevin Spacey married to this material is fantastic though. He rules!
