  • one of the best films ever made

  • I already liked the song but never would've thought of it with this movie or so beautiful. Amazing video!!!

  • Horrible song and overrated movie.

  • This is an awesome video,and the song fis well.Just because its Britney Spears,doesn't mean the song doesn't do the video justice.

  • great

  • very well matched, well done!

  • my god that's great :)

  • spec tac u lar..

  • THe motto 'look closer' - is key to AB. Look closer at our world and do we find beauty? It cost lesters marriage...what makes this a classic is that it made me really focus on being a consumer and spending money i never really had to buy more things and dress as though i was middle class so i could pretend i was better than someone. I think AB humbled me and did affect how i behaved and dressed and if that dont make it a classic well i really dont know what is.

  • If anything, American Beauty motto is 'look closer' - look closer at your life and the culture we live. Is it the best way to be? or, is being less fussed over expensive possessions the most satisfying life to have with the greatest degree of satisfaction? AB on relfection is asking you and me to consider in life what is really special and beautiful. You cant take a nice house to the grave but maybe a beautiful memory and great levels of respect throughout life can make us more rounded human bei

  • because we live in a world where consuming or being a buyer of products and services is so pervasive and entrenched in western culture we find hard to understand or even notice an alternative is possible as that is veering toward communism... that buying stuff is effectivley bad for our health if it dominates our self worth. Lester has awoken from his sedation and is doing what makes him happy - smokin joint, little importance job, nice car, keeping fit and buffing body...and why not?

  • this is because he was living in a loveless marriage as his wife was obsessed with material status - mercedez jeep and 4000 dollar italian silk couch...and all the other matieral things...american dream = wealth = health = happyness. this is not the case for the Burnhams or a lot of middle class people as they are only fulfilling themselves with artificial needs and not real needs like love coz they are forgotten about in their quest for material status.

  • The rose is a symbol of love? Find love in the world and do not lose love over materialism. This film is about the american dream and how it has entrapped Lester Burnham and the consequeces of this are that his life is empty - as he said 'sedated'.

  • Good movie...Passionate with wonderful tragic

  • haaayy... nakakalungkot na parang ung taong minahal mo napakabliz lang nakamuv on smantalang ikw... halos ikaparanoid mo... ang unfair no... pro thats love..

  • Superbe montage et la musique est splendide.

  • geat combination, great film, i love it!!!!!!!!!!

  • Extraña combinacion, pero queda bien.

  • So to me, the door symbolizes a gateway through material distractions into a life full of beauty.  On the outside in the car, she is completely consumed by what the material life has done to her that she completely breaks down, while on the inside through the door, Lester and Angela are truly consumed by the beauty of the moment.

  • Does anyone know what the red door symbolises? I get the feeling the rose petals are Lester's libido focussing in on Angela. Any good ideas would be appreciated...American Beautys biggest fan.

  • The rose petals, Lester's lust for Angela, all of these things are supposed to represent one concept: the beauty of the incredible feelings in life. Every single message in the movie points to everything described in "the most beautiful thing i've ever filmed." To me, the house itself and it's white picket fence and all its little perfections are all material possessions that distract from these feelings that are truly beautiful, which is why lester finds himself so lost in the beginning.

  • thanks for response. I kinda thought of the petals like that - symbol of something. i have to admit this film is a milestone in my life. it hit me an age i was old enough or mentally aware enough to appreciate it. Like Lester says - "spectacular". i have movies signposting my life at differnt ages and this is special to me because of what it encapsulates the first time i saw it.

  • Oh really? I thought it could've been because of how his wife cuts a Rose off it's bush in the beginning, and how she admires it so much, almost like it was the only thing she looked forward to.

    Or else the Roses with Lester and Angela could mean that he bare his internal love for her by dieing with her in his memory and bleeding to death mercilessly (just like the ending demonstrates.)

  • No way dude. He didn't love Angela at all, it was a beauty fixation, hence why he doesn't do her and he almost becomes a father figure to her before he dies. And he doesn't bleed to death "mercilessly", he dies in one shot and he's smiling. It's not tragedy, it's beauty. What is key is his last speaking moments before the credits, listen to what he says in that as the camera is showing other ppl and zooming out and you'll understand it all.

  • Who is the blood at 3:18

  • Watch the movie. You'll like it.

  • okey...

    So, do you like it?

  • love the film. bit sick how the girls dad has sex with her best friend. the film is moving but its also really wierd.. cant think of a word to put it..

  • He didnt had sex with here

  • When I saw AB for the first time I didn't notice Mena's way of spreading fingers while on roses (like counting 1-5), and I thought this have been made later cause the movie won five oscars...now I know it has always been so, and I think it has been a very good-lucking scene!

  • Oh yeah, by the way, I don't like the mix of Britney Spears and American Beauty either...

  • I have just read all of the comments made to several videos containing music or clips from American Beauty, and I have not seen even one negative comment about the film. And I couldn't agree more with all of you; American Beauty is one of the best film ever made, reffering here to acting, editing and the choice of Thomas Newman as main background music artist. I am glad to see that so many people agree with me; perhaps this really just is the best movie in the world, period!

  • American Beauty is what the Graduate was of the 60's. It is a cinematic masterpiece and poetic filmmaking. The acting is what Hollywood should aim for more often. Kevin Spacey is not a film star hes an actor. The American Dream is what this films about: dont let striving for material satisfaction be your only goal in life as it doesnt lead to fullfillment or necessarily is attainable for us all any way. Be happy with less and you will live a higher quality life.

  • LOL hidedous old cooky sob

    when I ws 16 I loved hot older 30 something not 40 out of shape NERDS!

  • urm never seen this movie actually, but seems like people Love it 100% i think i might watch it one day when.

  • It is a great movie. Only a complete idiot could put Britney music together with the "American Beauty".

  • Why? Every man or woman has the right to create new things!! It changes nothing from the movie! You are right this is a great movie!

  • Yes, every man or woman has the right to create new things. But the man or the woman who created this video, is still a idiot !

  • This song fucks this movie up, the original music is beautiful, and then you put britney spears in it.. Blegh

  • This song fucks this movie up, the original music is beautiful, and then you put britney spears in it.. Blegh

  • made me cry :'( love it xxx

  • don't get the connection, I always thought the movie critizises superficiality

  • wow...are u serious. britney spears with an amazing movie

  • Wow you've managed to take something completely generic and gaudy and put it over top one of the best pieces of film in the last 20 years.

  • @spindlebrooche best films in the last 20 years? the question i asked myself is, what film is actually better than this in the history of cinema?

  • I love Britney Spears!

  • simplesmente maravilhoso nota100

  • its completely out of context

  • compared to this film the song is trash. i hate this video, it makes the film down (you can say that "makes it down?).

  • Took the words outv of my mouth.

    Your using trailer trash music with a classic and beautiful.

  • JOEY, EVERYTIME.

  • Putting this song on this movie is like putting ketchup on filet mignon.

  • Beautifully done :3

    Good scenes aswell <3

  • one of my favorites. I ONLY SAW IT TWICE.

  • i loved the ending it was such a twist even tho my friend blabbed it out at the end lol

  • very great movie & song,,i was surprized by the ending, has one of the best twists ive seen in a movie, mena suvari is so beautiful

  • Sorry I don't get the connection, but the music in this movie was was great art. Cris doritadas is brilliant

  • Don't feel sad for Lester...someday you'll understand.

  • makes me feel sad

  • okay now i really wanna see it cos im madly in love with spacey, why do all my fav actors die in movies

  • do you even know what the movie's about?

  • does he know what the song is about?? xD

  • it's a pop song by britney spears.

    what do you think it's about?

  • I think the song is about lovesickness, but my comment was directed to pokatchu.....my question is basically the same like yours just the other way round ;-)

  • omg i love the film AND the song but i don't think they go very well together

  • Terrible! Why? This movie centers around the paternal and masculine trials of existentialism, individualism, discovery, and love. Britney Spears Everytime desroys that. Editing was decent though!

  • pretty good!!

  • I thought it was a well made video. I really did, but I would have loved more variation in the shots. it seems like you took segments from the movie and put it in, rather than fine tune it and edit it to make it flow more smoothly. I did like how you stuck to one theme though.

  • omg dbt have a fkn orgasim its not that gd

  • this is a true thing that happens! its not a chain letter! its kinda scary at first but it really works!! paste this message into 3 comments and pressALT F4 and your crushes name will appear on the screen!!! its soo weird

  • The song doesn't fit the video...

  • I've never seen the movie and I saw this music video and thought OMG!

  • Oh please no...you can't waste such a wonderful movie mixing it with the disgusting Spears...It's like mixing champagne with greasy pizza

  • pls tell me what movie is this. pls

  • It's a really great movie called American Beauty. Kevin Spacey is awesome in it, the story is great too (mid life crisis). The scene is every grown man's (secret) fantasy, to sleep with a hot teen. lol. As for the comments about Spears being nasty, she's made lot of dumb choices but she can still sing. And this is my favorite song from her.

  • awsosm!

  • wow..a good britnay spears song. I LOVE this movie so much!

  • jesus!!!the besttt

  • I FUCKEN LOVE THIS

  • Best Movie In The World
