I thought the acting was ok, and didn't see anything that special in Kevin Spacey's performance-don't get me wrong, I like the guy and he IS the movie itself, but his acting wasn't one of the major points that made me like this film. also, American Beauty is WAY better than Road to Perdition (the other Sam Mendes' film) in my opinion. one of the best from the 90's for sure.
Did you like the scene with the floating plastic bag? And how this is used later with a voice-over. I liked it a lot. [/b][/quote]of course I liked that. it was one of the most beautiful "last scenes" I have ever seen.
well, I have two questions for those who have watched the movie ( SPOILERS!!! )
1 - do you think Lt. Batts was gay all along?
2 - do you think Carolyn actually saw Lester dead when she arrived at home?
