My exclamation/question was to imply that I see nothing wrong with putting emphasis on the story. I analogized story with music whereas acting would be akin to the sound.I don't see anything wrong with forgiving imperfections in the acting (sound) in order to enjoy the story (music). In accordance to my developing life philosophy, I'm starting to believe that in the end, only one's subjective reaction (e.g. happiness) matters. I think this is called eudaemonism. Life is too short to be hypercritical about everything.
The story in American Beauty was unique and IMO well written. (Although I did read that there was another, supposedly better precursor to the movie). The acting was better than average, and enough for me to suspend my disbelief and get enveloped in the story.
Agreed, Eyes Wide Shut was lame.
You ought to learn fencing -- it's never too late to start. My dad started when he was 40. Pick up a weapon and I'll face you on the strip -- I will defend American Beauty! This is a challenge! =)
