I thought “American Beauty” was a sick, lousy film when it came out, but ofc Hollyweird critics and “cool people” loved it. Anything celebrating depravity and attacking America is good in that world.
I didn’t see it, so I probably didn’t miss a thing
I was travelling on business and relaxing in the hotel after a long day. I had heard “American Beauty” was a great movie; critics were rapturous about it, so I was delighted when I saw it was available for free on the hotel TV.
What a disappointment. It turned out to be a sad, depraved farce of a movie, documenting the sad, depraved existence of a farce of a man.
“Trash,” as the columnists writes here.
