I also knew beauty.

The protagonist's last confession: [I heard that a person's life will flash before his eyes one second before he dies. First of all, it's not actually a second, but an endless time. For me, my whole life is lying on the grass, watching the meteor shower, and the yellow maple leaves on the street, or grandma's hands like paper Same skin, and one time I saw Cousin Tony's brand new Firebird sports car, and Jane, and Caroline. I guess I should be angry when I die, but the world is so beautiful, I shouldn’t be angry all the time, sometimes I can’t bear it after watching it once, my heart is like a full balloon that will burst at any time, and then I remember to relax, don’t keep thinking about it Hold on tight, all the beauty washes me like the rain, make me feel grateful every moment for my humble, stupid life, you mustn't know what I'm talking about, but I'm sure, Don't worry, one day you will understand...]


One sleepless night, I watched this film quietly. I've been thinking about the connection between the title and the story. How is American Beauty expressed in this film? I have never liked women who are too strong. I look down on my husband's wife. In fact, I feel very hard in my heart. Why we have more and more complaints about life. And in the past, it wasn't like this, we were all happy before.

It's never too late to revive.

Perhaps, after a long journey, it is time to look back and see if you have strayed from your original dream. What you get by accident is not what you really want. What we have been afraid of losing is not what we really need.


The boy next door photographed the white plastic bag flying in the wind, and was deeply moved.
As he said: [Sometimes this world has too much beauty, I can't seem to bear it, my heart... almost collapses. ]

To always maintain awe of beauty.

    I’ve seen it many times and I don’t know why I like it so much

    Looking depressing. Such a disintegration, a life with a deep isolation of loneliness between people seems to be the only reasonable ending. The material life has reached a certain level, that is, the mental imbalance.

American Beauty quotes

  • Lester Burnham: Well you know what? I've changed! And the new me whacks off when he feels horny!

  • Sale House Woman #4: The ad said this pool was lagoon-like. There's nothing lagoon-like about it, except for the bugs. There aren't even any plants out here!

    Carolyn Burnham: What do you call this? Is this not a plant? If you have a problem with my plants, I can always call my landscape architect! Solved!
