It is perhaps one of the most interesting films of the 90's not only because of the controversy that surrounds it but also because of a simple and very emotional message. American Beauty delves into the stereotypes of American idealization, a very wealthy or "successful" family, with this it has difficulties in family ties. The film narrates everything about an emotional environment that seeks the awakening of our protagonist who, not feeling "loved or respected", seeks a change in his life, to give himself a chance. From different perspectives we learn that not every material good or not every ambition or desire is good for us, there are limits and the film shows us this through 4 facets of characters. Obviously, the level of production is beautiful, a soundtrack that channels all the sentimentality for the viewer.
