American Beauty
Has anyone seen it?
I swear, if any movie has ever changed my life, it would be American Beauty. I just watched it two nights ago, and I had to rewatch it three times. The message that movie portrays is just incredible... There'* beauty in everything. Every character in that movie is a symbol of different aspects of the world around us. Rebellion, Failure, Lust, self-obsession, conformity, it'* all there... Just amazing...
Besides the story, the acting is phenomenal. The actors are VERY well suited for their roles, even though few of them became big (sans Spacey and Cooper). Seriously, if you get a chance, rent it, buy it, borrow it, whatever. It really puts the world into perspective.

Yea, its a fantastic movie, a bit old now..2001 I think....
Its in my top 5 movies of all time, when I saw it in theaters, it was a topic of discussion for several hours afterwards.
