It was a film in 1999. I watched it after nearly ten years. I was laughed at by the lambs.
But I am really glad that I watched it now. Looking at it, I don't understand the meaning. The
Chinese translation is "American Beauty".
Just looking at the name, I thought it was a Hollywood light comedy.
… .................................................
American beauty is actually A little rose that grows in the United States. Translating it into American beauty is really annoying. There are
so many details and metaphors throughout the film. American beauty also has deep meanings throughout the film.
Although the film talks about the troubles of the American middle-class society, I feel it It touches all of us. Anyone
who has had a little reflection on life will definitely feel it.
Some people say that there is no normal person in this film.
What is normal? You, me, and everyone around us have How normal?
If there's a little DV filming quietly, there's no guarantee that you won't get a picture of mom crying and slapping herself in an unoccupied place, dad undressing and lifting a barbell in the underground garage, and the neighbor who looks talented is actually a fake married gay.
Everyone Wearing a mask to live. Lost in the overly prosperous material. I can't see my true face. It's
even harder to see beauty . ................................. About Leicester.
Maybe people who have been sleeping for too long, suddenly one day, like Lester saw Angela, they found that there are still beautiful things in life.
So they started to exercise, resist, abandon their former self and choose another life. It is worth loving, A life of hope.
However, I don't think that's the real awakening. The
choice to give up is just an escape. It doesn't mean a solution.
The violent addiction to another thing still doesn't help the life of the present.
When he was buying marijuana with Richie, he was seen by his officer father, who mistakenly thought it was a gay deal.
Angela, who was full of sex, told Lester nervously at the last second that she was actually a virgin.
Female sex and drugs, These things that can let him escape from the miserable life are the sufficient conditions to lead to death.
The moment he really wakes up should be after he learns that Angela is a virgin, before dying.
The eyes of the father. He answered with heart but helplessly "HOW ARE YOU". Looking at the photo with his wife and daughter. He smiled peacefully. When he said
"man oh man.
I know.
The blood collapsed on the wall in an instant, and another beautiful American beauty was drawn.
................................ .................................
About Ritchie For
him, I have an inexplicable love.
He is the only character in the film who can find beauty.
Although he sells marijuana, even though he is sent to a mental hospital.
Although the beauty he sees is so cruel.
At least, he is happy To find.
In the DV, there are plastic bags floating with petals, dead birds, and the girl's numb face.
It's scary and uncomfortable, but I can't help but admit that they are indeed beautiful.
Under the discipline of a severe and somewhat perverted father, he still does his work. I am not
wrong. I
am not wrong.
If it is wrong, it is also the fault forced by the complex and tangled values of this society.

About Frank
Richie's father didn't have many roles. But he was the key figure in the film's climax.
He suppressed himself to the brink of collapse, and he shot Lester, so people can't blame him.
Some people say that the deep father's love made him in Rainy Night Kiss Lester wanted to replace his son. It didn't work. So he killed him for his son.
I think this is a bit ridiculous.
The whole film is not meant to be a tribute to a person or an idea. What a great fatherly love .Too high.
Of course he was really worried about his son following in his footsteps, so he disciplined him. But he didn't rise to that height.
He hated homosexuality so much because he was too. (From his wife's trance look and his desperate cry It can be seen in.)
But for various unexplained reasons, he deliberately suppressed it. In
the end, he finally had the courage to release but was rejected, which stimulated him to complete despair
. ...................................................... .................
And Lester's cheating wife who worships material things, her rebellious and indifferent daughter, and Angel who worries about becoming an "ordinary person" pull...
Every character is wonderful. It reflects the theme from different angles.
The spirit lost in the material. The contradiction of the human heart. Not strong enough to change the status quo
. Today's China is the same as the United States at that time. Lost in the world developing too fast. People rarely stop to look at their hearts. Mechanically chasing the so-called "success". But I don't know why. I know. So keep exploring.... Anyway, this is a good movie worth watching.
