This garbage is available, and "Song of the South" is banned. Why?

Rating: Null/10 (22 April 2000)

Would you like to see a movie that features the following scenes set in a small town? Two scenes watching a man masturbate. An old man successfully seduces an underage girl. A wife exuberantly commits adultery. Nude teens have sex, barely hours after meeting. A person blackmails his employer, without cause. A teen drug dealer is a hero. A teen girl runs off to New York with the drug dealer, because they can make more money selling drugs there. After these, and other, graphic scenes, it was almost a relief to view a bloody murder with a handgun. At least we knew the movie was almost over. What movie is this? American Beauty. This movie is acclaimed and nominated for seven Academy Awards. Worse, this movie is presented to us by Hollywood as a documentary, or a vignette, of ordinary life in a small town. I reject the notion that this represents day-to-day life around us. Unfortunately, it seems believable, and will be a role model for our youth.
