Clearly Unusual

Rating: Null/10 (15 June 2001)

I knew that American Beauty would be unusual when it showed Lester Burnham (dad, main character- played by Kevin Spacey) gratifying himself in the shower. The thing that I did not like and or agree with in this movie is the fact that Lester didn't get along with his wife or daughter but he fell in love with his daughters school friend. That is simply unnormal. You will see a lot of strange parts in this movie including the parts when Ricky (neighbor) stalks Lesters daughter. At the end of the movie Lester is shot in the head by Rickys father because he thinks that Ricky is having an affair with Lester (that is another sick thing about the movie in my opinion). There are a lot of things that I do not agree with about this movie but I would, however, give it a good rating because it is very unpredictable. I like it when I do not know what's going to happen next.
