One of the best films in the last twenty years was American Beauty. This emotionally charged drama won 5 Oscars in 2000. The big star Kevin Spacey also won an Oscar for his starring role.
American Beauty is a story about mid-life crisis and people coming to terms with who they are. It is centered on a married couple with a teenage daughter. We follow the struggles they all go through in coming to grips with the various issues each has in their lives.
Lester is the father of a rebellious daughter and a bitchy and bossy wife. He hates his boring life and his job is becoming uninspiring as well. He is entering into a classic midlife crisis.
Carolyn is a materialistic woman who is very bitchy. She has a real estate career herself and is always looking to make money and improve her status. She starts to cheat on her husband with a married man she feels is more motivated like she is.
Jane is a teenager who feels unwanted. Her best friend is a sexy girl appearing to have it all. Even her dad has the hots for her friend Angela, and Jane can see it.
Eventually Lester “loses it” at work and quits his job. He gets a good severance pay because he knows some bad things the company has done. He leaves his job and finds work at a fast food place. He also starts working out, and smoking marijuana too.
Jane meets Ricky, the new kid in the neighborhood, and they become close. He is weird and also has a dysfunctional family. This seems to bond the two of them together.
All these issues blend into an intriguing and interesting story with a stunning ending. I won’t tell you any more so you can enjoy the movie fully. Don’t miss out on this classic film.
