Today we’re going to approach this miserable movie a little differently….

Also – do you remember the time I went on about A PUBLIC RANSOM and the Director came on the message boards and we all had a good time? Well – he’s entered “Ransom” in a contest and he could use your support by visiting and / or sharing this link on whatever platforms you’re involved in. He stands to win 100 Grand if he can make it to the top! Please share!

When I looked out the window earlier it was black as night and the wind was blowing so hard the trees were bending. Upon stepping outside, it’s cleared up and just raining buckets, so nothing exciting to report on.

I actually didn’t mind ‘American Beauty,’ although I don’t think it’s as ‘great’ as many like to think!

I really like American Beauty. I think it is a pretty effective satire on the wealthy white suburban family.

I don’t think you are really supposed to like the characters. Well I liked Lester, but most of the other characters ARE characters, the way some of the upper elite pretend to be something they are not and then Lester is like the totem for real life that they have to confront

I was obsessed with this movie when I was like, 12. I thought the script was pure poetry (feel free to roll your eyes). Can’t say when I watched it last but I’m sure my feelings about have changed. I’ll stand by the musical score, though!

I agree with you on this one. I think it is super pretentious and trying too hard to be deep and symbolic. Just tell a good story and the symbolism can be subtlety used. I mean the plastic bag…Ugh. It’s strange because it seems to be on people’s mind for some reason lately. Maybe because another extremely overrated film just won best picture? I don’t know.

And I don’t think it has aged well at all. It screams 90s consumerism and how stupifying the suburbs are…zzzzzzz. Now such voices are replaced by hipsters who judge middle America by oddly consuming a lot of expensive hipster items. Maybe that’s why it has appeal? It’s like the chance for hipsters to say ‘see there were always people like us’. I think outside of hardcore film people it would be one of the least popular Oscar winners in last 30 years. Oh well.
