Review of American Beauty (1999) by Ben L — 31 Dec 2012
There are few movies that work on every level possible, allowing the audience to identify fully with the main character even if he begins to do things that are naturally appalling. "American Beauty" is just such a film.
When the main character starts to do things that should immediately be considered disgusting, we fight with ourselves to decide whether we should cheer him on or not. Kevin Spacey gives the performance of a lifetime.
This is filmmaking at its finest.
