Oh my...! That was just...! There's no...! You just can't...!
American Beauty. See it.
Kevin Spacey is now my ultimate favorite actor. Ever.
Words can not convey....
Trevor and I just watched American Beauty, which (as Leslie will attest to) I had said I'd never watch. I mean, really, a movie about a guy who wants to have sex with his daughter's friend? What redeaming quality could a movie like that possibly have? Has America really sunk so low? That was definitely not something I was interested in.
"Want me to kill him for you...?"
But that's not what the movie was about at all. Not at all.
"I think you've just become my personal hero."
There's so much symbolism in there. There's so much that can be read into it!
"Never under-estimate the power of denial."
And in the end, Leslie was right all along. He did the right thing. And not just with the girl.
He did the right thing through the whole movie. He did the right thing.
"There's just so much beauty in the world..."
