American Beauty (1999)

The directing style is without a doubt exceptionally original and eye-catching. The storyline as well conveys uniqueness and necessary plot elements such as imhanced character development by the climax of the film. HOWEVER, the story continues to feel wrong and misleading of morality as the main character, a grown man, is fantasizing about a young girl. She is, although beautiful, very young. I believe the movie would have been best if she was just slightly older, and at least AN ADULT! She could have remained innocent and naive and then perhaps the romanticizing of pedophilla wouldn't be so prominent in the film industry. This idea of a man falling in love with a younger woman is not at all a story that lacks interest. It is, however, a story that leaves room for human decency. American Beauty is not that type of story though. American Beauty is a man falling for a young GIRL who is his daughter's best friend. This film screams an uncomfortable and uneasy tone with in a person who has even the slightest sense of right and wrong. It is because of this constant moral disturbance in the audience that leads the viewer to no longer sympathize with the main character which of course keeps the film from completing its main objective.

First of all everyone who has seen this movie will agree that Kevin Spacey's powerful performance overshadowes other performances-even Annette Bening's.The movie depicts people who didn't manage to fulfill their dreams,people who didn't live their lives as they wanted.It's a reminder of how society has become and it'll make you wonder how your life could have been.

One of the films which are perfect in terms of acting and direction and every other aspect but lacks a good script. No.1 It started as a comedy , turns out to be a family drama and sometimes has glimpses of comedy. The genre is not clear . No.2 Characters were unrealistic . No.3The relationship between parents and children is depicted poorly. We sometimes have bitter relationship with our parents but that doesn't mean we hate them.And a lot more problems. Ricky's character was so pathetic . Why they can't write a normal character for him .And why he dislikes his father? Because he wanted to give his son the best he can?There is no proper reason for Jane to fall for him. All the characters were pretty hatable. And a lot more...5/10.

Lovely character all,passion drama with love about a game this movie
