When I first heard about this film, I immediately thought of black beauty, that series invloving a black horse. Well, wasn't I wrong, this film has nothing to do with black beauty or any horse for that matter.
This film revolves around one sub-urban man's quest through his mid-life crisis. Lester Burnham (played by Kevin Spacey) is married to Carolyn (played by Annette Bening), she is very unhappy with her marriage. She is an estate agent and believes she deserves better than her husband. Lester's daughter hates both of her parents, she can't stand the friction between her parents.
The plot thickens when Lester decides to make a few changes in his life. But he learns that making changes rocks the boat of life, and comes at a price.
This film has won 5 Oscars, including best picture and 6 Baftas including best film. All the actors, especially Kevin Spacey should be recognised and congratulated on their performances.
The film is definetly worth watching, it is undoubtedly one of the best films I have ever watched. If you haven't seen it yet, you are missing out because this is one film not to miss.
