A dose of the aspects of America.

Rating: Null/10 (16 November 1999)

American Beauty is a very interesting film in my opinion. I will discuss the plot and ending, so don't read if you don't won't to hear about the ending. To put it simply I like this movie. I look at films as nothing more than a form of entertainment. Sometimes there are exceptions to this. This film had the feel of one of these. I loved the idea behind the movie, an average middle aged man has his rebirth and regains his youth. Kevin Spacey's character desides on day that he is feed up with being a good man and getting nothing in return. It takes the meeting of a somewhat unusual young man. He follows this kids example and decides he is going to do what he wants. He ingeniusly gets $60k from his company and quites. I love that, the balls that guy shows. Then he goes home and tells his wife how shit is, loved that part. To top things off he gets a car he likes, a job he likes, and starts exercising to improve himself. These actions are the things that stick out most to me. All of which show what teenagers are supposed to do, have fun. Kevin Spacey's character shows how important that this is. Well I have never done this and am tired of writing so see it and make your own opinion I guess.
