For a movie to be able to start off a "little" (emphasis on little) slow, and turn into a spectacle of both amazing acting, directing, and an amazing script is not only a rarity, but is almost unheard of. "Boys Don't Cry" is one of the most powerful films that I have ever seen. Ms. Hilary Swank embraced her character with open arms, and turned him into a hero. A incredibly hard task, considering a "few minor 'glitches'". The fact that this movie is based upon a true story only emphasizes the themes it is trying to portray. As a human race, it only makes sense that we should strive to accept our originality and differences, and celebrate them, rather than diminish them, and look upon them as being "bad". This movie is one that gives the audience the "complete package", and not just a pretty actress or soundtrack. As an all encompassing film, "Boys Don't Cry" is brilliant.

I saw this movie last night, and i just have to say that it is by far the most brilliant and captivating movie that I have seen in a long time. The script to this film was so perfect and all of the cast-members are Oscar worthy. Annette Benning and Kevin Spacey were magnificent in their roles, and they (out of all the cast) should be commended. I do not think that anyone can put value into words when speaking of "American Beauty". It is truly a beautiful film with many underlying issues and morals. Everyone should see "American Beauty" at least once. It will change your perspective of a "good movie". "American Beauty" is GREAT !
