what beating are you talking about? Seems fine to me. Won awards, stirred up spirited discussions...

Has it? I know it was a somewhat controversial film but it wasn't really that despised.

I dunno. All we know now that we didn't know then was deep down inside, Lester Burnham probably really wanted Col.Fitts to kiss him. Col Fitts doesn't commit suicide and instead absconds with Lester Burnham to some gay retreat in Key West, resulting in a completely different movie.
