Indeed an American beauty

'American Beauty' is indeed an American beauty! What can I say? I doubt 'Fight Club' will be as good in my opinion and I can say that this is one of those rare times where the Academy Awards have got it right!

This movie is so amazing, I had to decide the king of movies between 'Memento' and 'American Beauty' and personally I prefer 'Memento' but hardly!

The movie makes sense at the end and it all fits together! The protagonist Lester (Kevin Spacey) is married to Carolyn (Annette Bening) and they have a daughter Jane (Thora Birch). Lester falls for Jane's friend Angela (Mena Suvari) and Jane falls for Ricky (Wes Bentley) while Carolyn falls for another man and cheats on her husband. Ricky at first films Jane and then she asks him to kill her father.

Kevin Spacey is amazing in the lead role! His dialogue is amazing and his acting skills are top-notch. The rest of the cast are also wonderful! Mena Suvari is in the right movie and so are the rest of the cast!

Alan Ball has written a masterpiece which Sam Mendes has masterfully directed! And the ending is so shocking and unexpected but similar to 'Memento', they give a sneak peak earlier in the movie that it will happen at some point! And 'American Beauty' happens to be my second favourite movie ever! Which do you prefer? 'Memento' or 'American Beauty'. To each his own!
