American Beauty

In my opinion, quite possibly the best movie ever. We watched it again last night. It's the first movie we've seen since being back home. And all I can say is Wow! I laughed, I cried, I felt anger and despair, I felt hope and gratitude. I felt love. And now the final words of the film, spoken by Kevin Spacey as the camera slowly zooms out on his suburban street, keep repeating in my ears. I won't ruin them for you, but those words are true. I knew the truth of them before we embarked on this trip, but they resonate so strongly with me now. Look closer...
