Review of American Beauty (1999) by Niloo R — 19 Jan 2013
Wow - I think this is the closest a film has ever come to encapsulating the human condition. the film was seamless, it flowed like real life, to the point where I lost myself in the story and the characters and forgot about all the fantastic intricacies and detail that went to making every second of it.
the characters were so irrevocably human, each of them more heart-breaking and more desperate for love than the last. this film revealed what we all feel and how we all act - the way we all hurt each other because we're hurting - it was beautiful.
this is a lasting, impeccable work of art that does so well what all film and all art strives to do - to shed a little light on this thing we call life.
