American Beauty Movie

Lester Burnham (Kevin Spacey), a father and a husband, suddenly finds out that he does not want to live his quiet and correct life any longer. He finds himself falling deeper and deeper into the hopeless depression, struggling against a mid-life crisis that affects his relations with the family. Burnham's rebelling daughter Jane (Thora Birch) hates him. His bitchy wife (Annette Bening) can't bear his new manner of living at his own taste. Eventually, he becomes to be obsessed by a viciously innocent and cute school-mate (Mena Suvari) of his daughter. Meanwhile, Jane meets a strange boy next door, whose warlike military father is obsessed by homophobic spirits. The movie is really touching, dramatic and poetically aesthetic, focusing attention at the social life disharmony and the delicate beauty surrounding us.
