Pretty Good Movie

Rating: 7/10 (31 October 2010)

In the movie American Beauty Lester Burnham is played by Kevin Spacey and is unhappy with his life. His wife Carolyn is played by Annette Bening is controlling and seems to run the house. Their daughter Jane is played by Thora Burch and she meets the new neighbor Ricky Fits played by Wes Bently. Lester decides to take control of his life and does what he wants to find his happiness.
The theme of the movie American Beauty is standing up for yourself. Everyone can change their life if they want. same as Lester did he started doing what he wants and finally became happy. Although a person loves their family they do not have to be treated like that.
Through out the movie there were motifs up until Lester found true happiness. Lester keeps trying different things to find happiness then at the end of the movie he finds true happiness where he would least expect it.
The movie overall was good, it may have started a little slow for me as far as action however it was overall good and I would recommend other people to watch it was well.
