American Beauty movie review

Beauty is a lost world for people like Lester's wife Carolyn (Annette Bening), her shy daughter Jane (Thora Birch), her shallow friend Kane (Peter Gallagher), her business rivals and lovers, Colonel Fitts (Chris Cooper's hostile and suspicious), Rine's former Marine's father, attractive and radiant Angela (Mena Suvari), Jane's cheerleader girlfriend who is now a bright icon of Lester and She is not a soul poet, but she is dead, and everything seems to have a broader perspective.

Lester is a self-deprecating loser who has lost interest in his career - magazine advertising and meaningful relationships with his fine, well-paid real estate agent Carolyn (Annette Bening) and his daughter Jane (Thora Birch). Threatened with dismissal, she finds out that things are starting to change for her when she falls in love with Jane's best friend Angela (Mena Suvari), a black Lolita with a brain with sex. One of the sources of happiness and amazement is how characters hide or reveal their interests when they are mistreated by others.

The only time it was really exciting in the film was when the characters were climbing to the top. The play looks as fun as it was in the beginning, and the music is always 80s, fun, and has more emotions than I can remember, but American Beauty does not test homosexuality or homoeroticism as it would today. The youth characters are emo, lacking in real feelings, and are vessels of a very sweet texture, with very little depth.

American Beauty seems to be one of the films with the message that people love to say what they like, and it seems to be the right attitude to take at this time. There are parts of American beauty that I have never seen before and that when I see them lifting hair and scalp, and they are always what I see now. American beauty was invaluable 20 years ago in exploring what made certain films so appealing.

Like other 1900s films such as Fight Club (1999), The Company of Men (1997), American Psycho (2000), and Bafana Abakhali (1999) raise questions about masculinity and complexity. Professor Roy M. Anker argues that a film should have a center of content, its direction, and what the audience wants. Like other American films since 1999, such as Fight Club, Bring Up Dead, and Magnolia, American Beauty teaches its audience how to live a meaningful life.

Filmmakers criticize the evils of many aspects of modern life: the blindness of suburbia and its materialism, the illusion of an effective dress, narcissism, body image as a pure machine, the fascinating blonde myth, the horrible view of homophobic hatred, morality and need that person's greatness to stand out and be seen as something special. But the film also features a brief but delightful analysis of materialism. American Beauty criticizes materialism without turning the characters into obscenities but tries to impress it with fascism.

At American Beauty, the anti-consumer buyer is a complete hypocrite with a second epiphany that changes life just before his death, but he never gets a chance to speak. Winner-up American Beauty winner Sam Mendes (published 20 years ago this week) is out of fashion. His film often appears in the list of critics of "their favorite films", and his memory seems to have faded with most of the movies. It would be easy to beat him in 2019 but it looks wrong.

Sometimes reminiscent of the controversial “luck” of Todd Solondz and the brilliant Ang Lee “Ice Storm,” “American Beauty” includes a compelling drama and a black comedy. The film is run by actors, and the three characters are so well-developed that we are drawn to a two-hour working period. Spacey and Birch deliver high-quality performances that not only deserve an Oscar but also a timely fit.

Lester Burnham is played by Kevin Spacey with celestial finesse - his on-screen appearance has a button like a 42-year-old who has to stand and smell roses. Alan Ball's extraordinary screenplay and Lester's creation take on and bring back to life common beliefs such as the military father, a troubled teenager, and Martha Stewart's wife. The famous filmmaker Conrad L. Hall illuminates the cul-de-sac with vivid, blue tones as if he were carving Lester's glittering leaves in a delightful dream.

American Beauty was released on September 17, 1999, in North America, and was highly regarded by critics and the public (it was the most popular American film of 1999) and was priced at over $ 350 million worldwide with a budget of $ 15 million. DreamWorks launched a massive Oscar success after releasing its controversial Best Picture for Saving Private Ryan in 1998. Written by Alan Ball and Mr. and American beauty, directed where there is nothing new.

It’s easy to forget that the film, a simple but charming comedy series, was considered a new Oscar-winning actor, starring in the late 1990s. In a decade dominated by polished mirrors of history, American Beauty became the first modern to win the Best Photography Award since the Peace of the Lamb eight years earlier and its victory is now regarded as the triumph of the risqué, a sensual American cinema. His first appearance at the Toronto Film Festival, an unusual venue for a major studio award, went into the mainstream with amazing reviews and hosted the race; his success sets a new model for popular fall films with golden desires.
