I've never posted a comment regarding a movie but feel compelled to after attending a screening tonight at a Bible Study gathering. I won't speak to story here as it's covered in the other comments.
This is a movie of real beauty. It made me cry. I felt moved in a way that happens very rarely. It was an inspiration. All of us have committed many sins and only Christ can forgive.
The feelings it evoked were all based on the power of the acting and the writing. The words were real and human. The relationships seemed real and human. This may not seem like a great feat - but I consider it a true rarity. It didn't feel calculated and artificial, like so many movies (read: Crash - but I'm not here to bash that...). It was very organic, natural and (I can't say it enough) just beautiful. Cripes, it's making me sound like a hippie, for heaven's sake.
This is the real American Beauty and I'm sad it didn't win anything, but someday everyone involved will. God bless everyone on this board. No enemies, just trying to tell it as it is!
