for me, this film wouldnt have been what it was for kevin spacey. Im grateful for this as it is a milestone in my life. as lover of the cinema, it touched me in a 'spiritual way' or somewhere in my mind that made me appreciate having less to be more content.

Humour: this has so many themes of suburban life orchestrated from start to end and its highlighted in the funniest ways...the drive in? It was the excuse he needed to end the eggshell marriage.

In fact, thats the root of the movie. The american dream doesnt bring happyness, mabye wealth, but, at what cost? You realise the day you die because having stuff only remains in the memory a short time but significant people stay with you forever.

Carolyn Burnham is the status obsessed ass that lives in most of streets these days:middle class Mrs keeping up with the jonses. Materialism and consumed at being a consumer...but not aware of her 'condition' - thats one of the things Lester realised that his wife never.

This is the best film ever made. Let me make that clear and Il tell you why i belive it. I think the characters, are so well brought to life. I can identify with Lesters feelings of displacement and fragmentation. He is wondering why he has the job he has and it dawned on him that it is not fulfilling.

There is a God/creator, that's what this movie is about

His wife thought he killed himself and picked up the gun and threw it in the laundry bin, however, his neighbor killed him because he thought that Kevin Spacey (the character) had "corrupted" his son into being gay, but they, Kevin and the son, were both heteros!
