"American Beauty" is a tour de force film. Sam Mendes' brilliant debut feature
presents a network of characters who yearn for their own 'americas
Dream "- but in the end only be truly achieved.

Having seen "happiness" only recently, I could help, but not
draw comparisons: the two films focusing on a microcosm of society in which people
, In their own unique way, all strive to succeed or simply
'happy'. But here the similarities end: the characters in "Happiness"
undergo a self-realization process by which we become increasingly aware of their existence
senseless, and go to Wallowa in their own
Depravity. "Happiness" shows no sign of redemption, whereas in "American Beauty
" gives the audience a sense of hope and salvation, although
characters should suffer a similar fate, or more exactly, should bear
lifestyle in which they are trapped.

The fundamental nature on which the centres of this item, is the father Lester,
impeccably played by Kevin Spacey. The presents us with a bit of a loser
played by the subjugated
figure at home and at work. The seems resigned to an unhappy life in
who was treated badly by his wife and daughter and his boss at work. Apparently
beyond redemption, Lester transforms from being a loser.

Mendes portrays this transformation admirably well: he shows in his Lester
'path to enlightenment' pushed against a sombre backdrop of Suburbanites
existence. These early scenes are well balanced, forming a steady pace of
TV commercial-like vignettes to be very funny, although sometimes disturbing
. As Lester reflected in the film: "My life is like a business."
And how true this sounds: as in "Happiness", all the characters
hiding beneath that veneer of normalcy and respectability, and yet they are all
revealed to be nothing more than opposite: depression, depraved and desperate.

Lester's wife, played by Annette Benning, is more driven by the success
character in the story that makes most of its hope in the film
tone of moral conviction . "To succeed in life one must
the emergence of successful projects" is the motto of adopting the 'king'
of real estate, Buddy King. It is a phrase that resonates throughout the film
: for Benning's pawn, life has to do with keeping up appearances. This is
Lester, where it differs: emancipation is enabled by discarding him
the limitations of "normal life" and after what your heart desires.

Lester is the catalyst of this narrative in which the characters either side
follow suit (as did her daughter and Ricky) or pay the price (as his wife
and Colonel). The irony inherent in this movie, and it grows with
resonance as the film reaches its conclusion, is that the only
character becomes truly free must sacrifice everything in order to achieve
. However, is through their sacrifice that is able to afford the
characters who survive a vision of hope in life.

This film left me gasping for air: its hyper-realism conveys,
at the same time, a portrait of suburban comedy, a clash of putting a ceiling of achievement, and
cathartic sense of hope. Mendes shows some people who, to varying degrees
, all fighting for a certain American Dream, yet so few actually achieve it
. While at the same time one may have trouble with this movie
marked with the 'feel good' label, the beauty of "American Beauty" is
that sits halfway between a desperate cry for help and a reassuring sense of
happiness and achievement and that is cinema at its best.
American Beauty is the greatest movie ever made.

If you have not already done so, see American Beauty for yourself and give yourself some time after
to think that over. You never, never to see life

the same way. It does exactly what movies are meant to do - gives us a window
in ourselves, and American Beauty makes better than any other film

has never done. There was no word of dialogue is unnecessary, not the exaggerated character,
everything is perfect ... but if you've seen American Beauty must

know that already. Once closer to seeing this film, and see the beauty in every
framework, it becomes so much easier to see closer and see the beauty in everything

around them. Do you think I'm waxing poetic? Then you have not seen the film
. Each character is a part of each of us: that of Lester Burnham
change, the uncertainty of Carolyn and failure, the rebellion of Jane,
defeated Barbara, the false control of Angela and Colonel, and the actual control
Ricky. To me Ricky, not Lester, is the center of this story, he
somehow controlled or launches downtown Renaissance and Lester
fall. There are several parts of this movie where I lose control
every time I see it, and none more than the paper bag scene. For me this scene
monologue is simply the largest ever written.

I heard the message of American Beauty - watch closely and you can find

Beauty in anything - and changed my life. I emerged from a long, deep depression and began
in the world. Sometimes there is so much

Beauty in the world, I can not even stand it, and it feels like my heart will burst
.

This is the most beautiful film I've ever seen.
