American Beauty 1999

"You have no idea what I'm talking about, i'm sure, but don't worry, you will someday."

There are very few films that have had so much impact on me and that have made me think about the true meaning of our life. American Beauty is one of them. I've seen this movie for some time, but after several months processing what I saw, I'm just writing about it now.

American Beauty, for me, it's about the search for our identity and what really matters in our lives. After all, we only live once. And we should enjoy every minute to the fullest.

We should take advantage of life to focus on the things that really matter, the people around us, not material goods.

The screenplay is very well written, the direction of Sam Mendes is magnificent and the performances are perfect. The characters are very well set up and all of them have a purpose, the soundtrack is beautiful and the cinematography, wonderful.

American Beauty is, without a doubt, in my top 10 favorite movies of all time and it might very well be my number 1.
