Many baby boomers can
relate to Lester Burnham is this film. Have our lives passed
us by? Have we become too complacent and ready to accept
what there is rather than what there can be?
Kevin Spacey was
presented with the Academy Award for his performance as
Lester. The film also received the Best Picture, Best
Director, Best Original Screenplay, and Best Cinematography
Academy Awards in 1999. Cinematographer Conrad
L. Hall beautifully captured the lyrical image of a plastic
bag caught in the wind.
