American Beauty


"The beauty in American culture is in its dysfunctionality"


The search for happiness, attraction, sexual needs and love. Are these things enough to cheat someone. Why we have to marry someone and cheat at the end. We made vows in front of God to love each other till death do us part.

The family of three: Lester Burnham, Carolyn Burnham and their daughter, Jane. The three has their own problems/discontentments in life. Lester who was really bored in his work and wants something new, Carol, the one whose not contented in her self and known for being so ambitious and Jane, struggles a lot on her physical appearance as she deal teen age life.

Lester is too boring on his life, dissatisfied on his sexual life, unhappy on his marriage. Now tell me, having this frustrations would excuse someone to find someone else to fulfill all your needs, to forget the vow you made when your deeply inlove but sadly fall out of love 30 years after. Are this stuff enough?. Maybe with Lester, yes!, all lack on his life gives him a motivation to cheat her wife, and the saddest part on it, the one he chose which he thinks can filled the loneliness in his life. Its a damn thing to have an affair to a couple of decade younger than you and most specially to the bestfriend of your own daughter. Don't you find it a big insult on your wife.

While Jane, found happiness on the boy next door whom she discover spying her with a secret video camera attached on her room.
