That reminds me of American beauty? Could it be?

I love great lines in movies. Next to cinematography, I look for good dialogue and acting. Jack Nicholson is a master of breathing life into dialogue.
Kevin Spacey is another. Good for both of you for picking up on the American Beauty quote.
This one was an award winner too, but is more obscure:
Old paint on canvas, as it ages, sometimes becomes transparent. When that happens it is possible, in some pictures, to see the original lines: a tree will show through a woman's dress, a child makes way for a dog, a large boat is no longer on open sea. That is called pentimento because the painter "repented," changed his mind. Perhaps it would be as well to say that the old conception, replaced by a later choice, is a way of seeing and then seeing again.
