All about beauty

I've just finished watching American Beauty and WOW! I feel like every movie I've been watching lately gets to make me feel goosebumps, haha. But seriously, AB is so amazing. The director/screenplay gets to tell a simple story with no actual expectations. It's actually and ordinary story (while I notice this, I remember of Angelina saying that there's is nothing worse than being ordinary). Married couple with a broken relationship and a lack of intimancy, even though they should have the highest level of it. Their child, Jane, is this rebel who cannot understand her parents and who hangs out with this Sky Ferreira alike girl Angelina, which is very selfish, bitchy, as a prototype of the perfect american girl. I think a good point of the movie is that the characters are finally kind of ordinary!!! But that is not what makes it such different. There is also a new weird neighbor that sells drugs and films everything, seeing beauty in many things (I identified myself a lot with him) and that has a traditional dad that sucks. He actually sucks. The movies passes in their lives, mainly talking about what happens with Lester, Cateryn, Jane and Ricky. Lester notices his marriage and sad, boring life, but does not start doing nothing until he falls in love with the prototype american girl friend of his daughter. He is actually smart and feels like enjoying life and trying to live every day as the only one. Cateryn, the wife, is the example of common sense. She is jailed to needs that aren't hers and sucess aspirations and habits and does things only because it is common. She is unhappy and even in her situation, she commits betrayal, and as her husband discovers it, she feels like he is doing her of a victim and goes crazy, thinking she is the right one since she follows society rules. Jane is just a good girl that dates Ricky and  is in the middle of the family bond, which is very sick. She is also a form for her friend Angelina to feel always better. Ricky has a stupid dad that punches him to bleeding and that sent him to a military school because he found his son with dope. Btw, Ricky still sells dope and has to deal with his OWN father as if he only had to tolerate it. In the end, this dad goes crazy because he thinks that Ricky is doing blowjobs for money!!!!! Blowjobs for Lester who is buying drugs!!! Well, he was selling drugs, what is not much better, haha. But btw, his dad goes after Lester and is like very emotional and he.... KISSES LESTER! What is like, he tries do adapt to the new things but he just can't. He was born, grown-up and became and adult with a thinking of society and things, it is just too hard for him to handle things. So hard that he goes there and kills Lester! LOL By the end, we have many samples of society and their acts and errors about life. The message is live life, but actually live it. See beauty in life, cause life is beautiful! There is beauty in it all. And don't have fear neither pride, they can stop you to live correctly! Those messages are delivered amazingly from the director/screenplay. Just an ordinary story can say that being ordinary is bad!
