The hollow shell of American Life, 12 February 2001
8/10
Author: gdeangel from Chicago, IL

Call it sentiments of generation X before generation X. This movie was fantastic. It asks the sincere question: do you see yourself as successful, or do others see it in you? And what would happen if you and society found your success in different places? The last scene captures the outcome visually with great symbolism.
