American Beauty, a movie gorgeously written by Alan Ball and directed by Sam Mendes.
This is a beautifully crafted movie on absolutely every level.
Lester Burnham (Spacey) is a depressed middle-aged husband and father whose wife controls him and whose daughter hates him.
Existing in a typical American nightmare, he spends his days working a nowhere job, and his nights wondering how his life got so far off-track. When he becomes infatuated with his daughter's best friend (Suvari), Lester goes on a journey of self-discovery, transforming from a suburban loser to a man in charge. For the first time since adolescence, Lester has decided to live his life the way he wants.
American Beauty is a thought-provoking account of a man's reawakening to the potential that life holds.Every scene of the movie is pure gold and all the performances are fantastic.American Beauty has become one of those films that everyone has to see at least once in their lives.
