This Christmas, I took the opportunity to return to see again a few movies. Some me the memory is almost as Carlito or Godfather and others had not returned to watch since its debut in film, if Mystic River and American Beauty. In his latter days and I was struck today, perhaps the surprise is mitigated somewhat, but seen again I still find a very good movie that has one of my favorite actors: Kevin Spacey . And there was a time when there was no cooler than an actor friend Kevin. He had an impressive streak Usual Suspects, Seven, Glengary Glenn Ross and American Beauty. Today not lavish in film (or I've lost track) and has focused on stage in London.
American Beauty is series Six Feet Under what Goodfellas meant for The Sopranos. Alan Ball is a writer American Beauty and creator of the series and it shows. The film made in your day a little sting in that hackneyed American dream and dig a little on his backhand, uncovering their misery and hypocrisy. And now seen many of his statements are still valid . The film questions that lifestyle paid for itself, that happiness fictitious and attacks with irony and lucidity. Approach is not new or original but if that activates the mechanisms necessary to stir something within us. And it does so using a simple and balanced script and some actors in full fitness that give credibility to what counts. And that one that takes the cake is Kevin Spacey. Spectacular both more comic scenes as dramatic.
interviews remember the time in which Spacey pointed out that the reference had always been Jack Lemmon. Of course he could not choose better. Because like Lemmon did in his day achieved many movies Spacey's character Lester Burnham in American Beauty we feel an enormous sympathy for him despite his gray life, with an unwieldy family (an explosive Annette Benning concerned about appearances and the success and Thora Birch in a storm teenager), a job you hate and many dreams unfulfilled. Trapped in a residential neighborhood and as noted on occasion the living dead. Spacey's character in the "amoral" physical attraction to a classmate of her daughter and marijuana provided by her new neighbor, a new incentive to live, a little salvation. Something as simple as being alive.
would be unfair to mention only that Spacey and Annette Benning ( Carolyn Burnham) and Thora Birch (Jane Burnham ) give excellent replicas domestic scenes with great moments in family dinners and Mena Suvari ( Angela Hayes) that causes a few suggestive dreams and liberating our friend. Not to mention Wes Bentley (Ricky Fitts) the dealer who makes teen to meet new sensations contributing to awaken and Chris Cooper (Fitts) separate chapter for him. One of those actors that you can apply that to "The Man Who Was not There." A guy who when shown on screen makes you inevitably focus attention on it. A guarantee for any director. Sam Mendes took advantage of a well-developed casting and a script with a few scenes of those that remain in the collective imagination.
Although obvious choices are two of my favorite scenes are when Lester Bunham goodbye to his work getting the compensation you want thanks to its privileged information about the embezzlement of pasta made by the manager of the company prostitutes and others and especially that great line he utters when he finds a job for which in principle is not named, says Lester, "I want a job with little responsibility." Both Spacey is unfolding as large without falling into the overacting, offering accuracy. Two other special moments for a rocker like me are when it rings of American Woman The Guess Who Lester leads while enthusiastically singing the lyrics while smoking a joint and The Seeker of The Who morning in a scene while preparing a healthy juice to start your new self. Kevin Spacey rocking !!!!!!!
