I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much

By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

The acting in this movie is really good.

The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

A man who doesn't get along with his family is attracted by his daughter's fried and he feels as if he revived from death. And finally he finds a beauty. Everyone has agonies.

This is another freeing film, similar to fight club in a lot of ways thematically. The only draw backs are the public image of Spacey has been (fairly or not) smeared at the time of writing this, & "True Beauty" would have been a better title - or anything that doesnt shove our Americaness in everyone's face all the time. But that is a minor point. And loving art - not the artist - Spacey is amazing! The whole cast is. It is a film that can change your life, reminding us of the power we have & the choices we make each and every day to stay w/i the system. It is worth seeing for that alone. Inspiring film for if you are feeling caught in a rut.

I saw this when I was 17 and liked it but was disgusted at the main premise of a 42 year old man who was married chasing after a 17 year old girl. But I re-watched it with my Grandma and I asked what she thought of that aspect. She said it was wrong but unfortunately it sometimes happens.I said "Well, if I have a mid-life crisis, I'm not going to do that!" I said. The movie has made me think about right and wrong in these situations and decide what better solutions to a mid-life crisis is. I think it's a great movie, though The Green Mile would be a better choice for Best Picture. If you are 16 or older, I highly recommend this to you. If you are younger, wait a while. Keep an open mind and enjoy! Also, I suggest reading Roger Ebert's review(Google "american beauty roger ebert"). The movie's motto is "look closer." I did just that, and found a masterpiece that I still dwell upon today. Few movies can do that for me.

'American Beauty (2000)' is an odd blend of comedy and drama which come together to successfully compliment each other and make the whole experience more impactful. It's film which isn't afraid to get dark and cynical but which also has a real optimistic heart and positive outlook at its core. It's an experience that will stay with you long after the credits roll. The fantastic screenplay mixes with the amazing acting to create a seamless sort of 'imagined realism' that allows for a true cinematic reflection of real life. The haunting ending is both truly tragic and strangely happy all at once. Oddly, the juxtaposition of these elements works brilliantly, allowing the final moments to be almost truly transcendent. 8/10
