I am 15 yrs old and the first time I saw American Beauty I was 12 yrs. old. I thought it was one of the strangest movies i had ever seen. You have to look closer in the movie to realize how incredible it was. Even now when i watch the bag scene my heart feels like it is about to explode. I now many people who hate this movie, but I think it is a thin line between love and hate. Many people dislike the pot use in the movie or the older man lusting for the teenager. That is not the message the movie is trying to convey though. You have to understand that each character is just one part of a big show and that on the outside everybody looks normal but once you look closer you can understand the whole story. Once you understand Lester and the message of the movie it will run through you like an ocean of time.
