Originally posted by EyesWithPrideB3:Many of my friends who I've shown it to have said "Kevin Spacy was just WEIRD in the movie, and his sick obsessions turned them off of an otherwise great film". But I disagree...Spacy's character wasn't honestly infatuated with what you'll see him drooling over...it symbolized an obsession with returning to youth and innocence. Don't take it too literally- his love for the girl in the film is merely a symbol of something far greater, far more emotional.
(jumping into your conversation here) Exactly. i can't stand it either when people generalize his character in that way. Lester Burnham remains, ever since I saw the movie, one of my fictional heroes. That scene at the drive-through burger place is fantastic.
