Greetings from Lithuania.
"American Beauty" (1999) is a great movie that i watched like 4 times in the last 25 years since it was released. This is a great movie that never gets old. Screenplay by Alan Boll was amazing - smart, darkly funny and involving. Directing job by Sem Mendes was top notch - the pacing of this movie is superb and it never drags in its almost 2 hours run time. Acting was outstanding by everyone involved - Kevin Spacey & Annette Bening were at the top of their game here.
"American Beauty" is about many things and it blends them together seemingly at the same time with this dark sense of humor. Its a very funny film but its not a comedy, its a dark film were sexuality and finding yourself i think plays a key role, but its not oversexualized. Every character here is two dimensional, and nothing is black & white or as it seems at first sight.
Overall, "American Beauty" is a tragic story, comedy and great movie - all at the same time. Its amazingly acted, written and directed as surely is a true classic at this point that everyone should see at least once it their lifetime. Great movie.
