American Beauty (1999)

Strange but great

[8/10 · 27 April 2000]

This is an amazing movie. Every character is so peculiar, you would not wish all of them to meet in real life. But that's actually something that might happen anyway.

I spent the duration of the movie betting on what will happen next (and not believing it!) and then being surprised!

On a more general way of seeing it, it's an ode to life. Live the way you want to. You always have choices.

Hell (1994)

Boring, I got lost.

[1/10 · 27 April 2000]

Lots of sequence of imagination. The more the movie goes on, the more I got lost between what was real and what was not.

Maybe that's the purpose, that the spectator becomes lost. But too much is too much.
