***Strange...I guess it's something on a more personal level than an objective point of view about a movie
Isn't that ALWAYS the case with art?
------------------------------------
You know, I think the correct answer would be yes and no. Always is such an encompassing word...
After all, even if you don't like films of Chaplin, Tarkovsky or Godard, for example, you can still see their merits. That's why I was/am still thinking of your poshlost' comment. I do know a few films I would call poshlyi(for our non-Russian speaking audience - vulgar in an all-inclusive sense of the word, not just in it's sexual disguise; on a more monumental level, I guess), but I'm sorry, I don't see it in American Beauty.
I will accept your age superiority, but like I told you in NY - give it time, I'll be there too:)) Not that I am rushing it...
