Are the sixties back?
That's the impression you get after seeing "American Beauty", because there is a sense of morality based on spontaneity as salvation, or a 'Hurry up, brothers, there's still time to rethink and recover' attitude. And a somewhat hidden sense of a generation gap, so dear to the hearts of people born in the forties, who were in their twenties by 1968.
A great script! And don't forget that the scriptwriter was born in 1957.
