A must watch movie.A bit philosophical.

Rating: 10/10 (4 November 2015)

American Beauty is one of the best films of 1999, as well as a film that is near and dear to my heart.This is the story about hopelessness and isolation not just the beauty.Lester and his both are going through mid life crisis and hate each other.His daughter falls in love with a neighbor who has a fetish for voyeurism and death.Lester falls in love with a gorgeous friend of his daughter and fantasize about her.This is not to say that the characters' quests in American Beauty are completely irrelevant to the meaning they find. Ricky's pursuit of beauty on video-tape is in some sense a means to his discovery of beauty in odd places (as is, perhaps, his use of marijuana)..Lester's performance compensate for the weakness in script.Overall the film encourage to "look closer",as the tag-line says.The film took home five Oscars. It was nominated for eight.
