A Complete Review of Sam Mendes's work (9 movies items)

" Cast : Kevin Spacey, Annette Bening, Thora Birch, Wes Bentley, Mena Suvari What was it about? A sexually frustrated suburban father has a mid-life crisis after becoming infatuated with his daughter's best friend. My two cents: I actually had the pleasure to see this movie in the movie theater when it was released and, back then, I have to admit that I was seriously blown away by the whole thing. Indeed, I thought it was such a great movie. Seriously, it is not very often that I came acro"

Pop Culture Phenomenon Films: 90’s (1712 movies items)

" Some aspects of the film, have aged like fine milk in the sun (Ahem, Kevin Spacey.), it’s still a remarkable film regardless. A man has an existential crisis, and things only unravel from there. Mena Suvari, Annette Benning, and Thora Birch, are great in the film. As is Chris Copper, as a throughly horrible person, who is unfortunately Lester’s neighbour. Bring a lot, of Kleenex. Because, you’ll need them. American Beauty is a 1999 American black comedy-drama film written by Alan Bal"

Obras que subiram no meu conceito (39 movies items)

"4/10 para 9/10 American Beauty é um excelente drama sobre uma família em decadência, em franca decadência, uma subversão do "sonho americano" que é um tema bem complicado de se tratar, a destruição de uma família em si não é um tema original, outras obras já trataram sobre como em Irmãos Karamazov ou 100 anos de solidão, aqui tem esse toque americano e psicológico, uma obra que precisa ser analisada, algum dia lerei o livro."

The Greatest Film of All Time!

“Verified Purchase

When people ask you what your favorite film is or what you think is the best or greatest film you have ever seen, you can give all sorts of reasons such as every time you see the specific film. I choose American Beauty as what I believe to be the greatest film ever made because I have seen a vast number of films and it's unlike any other film I have ever seen so far. To put it shortly, it's certainly the most original film I have ever seen.

It tells the story of Lester Burnham (Kevin Spacey), a middle aged magazine executive who decides to change his life by ignoring his overachieving domineering wife Carolyn (Annette Bening), smoking pot, quitting the job he hates and also developing a sexual attraction for his daughter's friend (Mena Suvari).

“Beleza americana ou American Beauty é um desses filmes de midlife crisis sobre uma família que se encontra decadente e a beira do colapso, o nosso herói Lester Burnham é o modelo de pai padrão, que tem um emprego padrão e uma família padrão e um bairro padrão, basicamente o americano médio em toda a regra, sua mulher é padrão e sua filha é uma emo gótica ou sei lá que diabos, que lhe odeia pelo fato de não ter recebido atenção na infância, sua mulher odeia ele porque... No se, midlife crisis. Basicamente Lester levava uma vida padrão ao mesmo tempo que em seu íntimo ele odiasse tudo que conquistou porque sabia que era tudo superficial e sem sentido, trabalhando em um emprego que odeia sem sexo e com uma família que por dios.

Basicamente e em poucas palavras” read more
