American Beauty

Is this a rude movie?

Not really.

Still think this is a great movie.

Overrated, maybe, but still great.

I would say overrated. But it is hard for some movies to keep up to what they get hyped to. Fight Club comes to mind.

[edit] Rereading this thread it is apparent why Fight Club comes to mind.

Also I have no clue what happened with my last post, I apologize to any brains that good damaged having to comprehend it. I know it is late...too late for some, but well, I am deeply sorry.

Good movie, even though its a drama, it has some dark comedy in it that cracked me up.

Language, a little violence, sex, drugs and nudity.

My favorite part of that movie is when he's smoking pot, lifting weights, and listening to Bob Dylan. Because I used to do that exsact thing all the time.

Nudity then is the rude part😛 I always watxh 18's as i do not get influenced badly like some do, therefore it really is not a bad thing for me to watch them.

I saw most of it for the first time this last Thanksgiving. I enjoyed it. After the Christmas rush, I may pick it up.

The film is really great and awesome.
Like the part when the neighbour next door, the ex-army come to the garage of Kevin Spacey.
Sadly, Kevin died in the end.

hmm the movie's absolutely brilliant, how can it be overrated? I understand the 'overrated' if you're referring to people who call it the 'end-all, be-all of movies', but it's a fantastic and poignant look into the human psyche and our concept of everyday life and society. It's f ucking brilliant.

The second sentence of your post actually explains the rest, so...yeah.

Big shock, I know.

... He didn't say or imply that it was shocking; just sad... and it was.

I didn't find it that sad. Slightly. But it was a very acceptable end.

Poignant film. I thoroughly enjoyed its critique of american ideas of beauty.

Yeah, I can definitely see why some people wouldn't view it as sad.

But I can just as easily see why some would view it as such, also.
