american beauty

. . .
I thought that this film was incredible. The surrealistic dreams may have seemed weird at times but it gave you a better perspective of everything going on in his life. He used red rose petals to show what true beauty was. The rose petals continue to appear whenever the girl is around and at times you are unable to tell if he is dreaming or if it is real. As she opened her shirt a bunch of rose petals started flying all over the place. The entire crowd disappeared with all of the cheerleaders except for the one he was fantasizing about. I loved the story, the actors, everything. Another example is when he was laying in bed and looking at the ceiling. He started seeing the same girl lying on the ceiling covered with rose petals, but then his wife ends that scene when she catches him masturbating. I thought that the movie was very funny at times but then it also showed the real seriousness of the whole thing. When the mother and father went to watch their daughter cheerleading was when Kevin Spacey first had his surrealistic fantasy. I felt that the way Mendes let you truly get into Kevin Spacey’s head made the movie so much better.
