Save Jane!

Rating: 10/10 (24 April 2000)

American Beauty is a film about bad decisions, past, present and future. Possibly the worst one (and the competition was strong) was Jane's. My overriding feeling after seeing this brilliant film was feeling sorry for her. Where did we fail her? Why did she end up with the worst character in the film, one without any redeeming features? AB needs a sequel, Jane needs to right herself. I don't know how. It will require another very clever screenplay.
