American Beauty
Such a great movie, So beautiful and so dark. The ending really hits hard. This movie reflects our society perfectly.

Loved pretty much everything about this one, from the performances to the pacing, this was one of the funniest yet depressing films I’ve ever seen. Kevin Spacey is at his best in this, along with Thora Birch and Wes Bentley. Theres something raw and deep about there performances which draw you in from the very start, as the chaos builds so does the tension and surrealism. Every scene feels important, unique and interesting, with not a single minute wasted. Sam Mendes has a great catalog, and his has to be one of, if not his best.
American Beauty
Através do personagem de Wes Bentley que Sam Mendes discorre sobre o cerne de Beleza Americana: o olhar voyeurístico no mundo em transição tecnológica. Esse voyeurismo está enraizado na presença da filmagem digital, nos olhares de Bentley pela filmadora e na perspectiva de realidade limitada ao que ele registra. A reafirmação está nos momentos em que, na mesma composição, a imagem capturada pela câmera do personagem ocupa o cenário com o plano que estamos assistindo (https://antesquetudodesapareca.tumblr.com/image/683546805281095680). Ao se utilizar desse artifício, Mendes consolida o papel do espectador como agente voyeur, tanto na sessão escura da sala de cinema quanto no dia-a-dia e antecipando as lentes digitais como a extensão definitiva do olhar humano na atualidade, tão pertinente para a entrada de um século em constante aprimoramento tecnológico.

That is a fucked up neighbourhood and peoples i've ever seen, full of weirdos and misunderstanding. I wish i didn't have neighbour like that.

American Beauty is beautiful, with a typical American suburban vibe, and also a little sad. The portrayal of the family is sadly unfortunate, and it's not something anyone would wish for. The various supporting characters often make a strange impression. Overall, it's a decent film about a lonely man.

que filme maluco, bom pra caralho e o Kevin Spacey consegue ter uma atuação única.

American Beauty
Well, my friend suggested me to watch this masterpiece. so much beauty, that's all. especially Kevin Spacey performance Sam Mendes did a great job for this movie, miss the old Sam Mendes works.
American Beauty
Well shot, well acted and extremely well edited. So why didn't this stick the landing for me? I'm not sure. For as much of a monster as Kevin Spacey is in real life, he's so enjoyable to watch in this film. Wes Bentley is also very good in this I guess overall, it was just a bit too much. That's not to say that it doesn't pull off what it's going for or that I hated it but it just didn't work for me. It's a bit too dramatic and the music theme that keeps playing got on my nerves by the end. Not to mention, it is difficult to watch real life pedophile Kevin Spacey play a character who is also a pedophile. It's just a little bit too disgusting for me and harder to seperate the art from artist
American Beauty
Such a beautiful and intricate film that has soooo many layers stacked upon the surface. Beauty, decay, Repression, Masculinity, Suburbia. That closing monologue sent chills through my spine. Was that a threat!?
