Hello, one and all. I've seen 'American Beauty', and I must say it was one of the most beautiful movies I've seen in a very very long time. I had been waiting to see 'Eyes Wide Shut' (which was also brilliant, but in it's own way) for nearly a year and a half. I saw it when it first came out and proclaimed that it was the best movie I had seen in at least the previous five years. After seeing 'American Beauty', however, my mind was quickly changed. My favorite part about the entire film was the color imagery (especially red!) (oh, and the roses!!!). Completely original and breathtaking. Worth $7.25 ....andrew
