AMERICAN BEAUTY - THE PLASTIC BAG

[thepocarisweat]

lol

[stshill1]

Peter Griffin ruined this for me. 

[Baylorchick20]

Im a stoner and I find this boring....

[ssyw2700]

Can someone tell me what the bag symbolizes?

[ledeej]

@ssyw2700 Nothing really. Just that every thing is leading its own life really. We are all just part of it together with everything else on this world. Something like that I guess.

[mrdanijel]

@ssyw2700

ur stupid brain

[ssyw2700]

@mrdanijel nope you're wrong

[GASMan1957]

I just came by to see if I could grab a quote from this clip. But jeez, the personal attacks people throw at each other on YT these days is something else. And it's not that you're necessarily supposed to buy into how beautiful that bag is, the scene is in the movie for you to understand their state of minds and see a moment when THEY see each other and connect at a deeper level. And yes, the clip was cut before the "wonderful quote" that I came here looking for.

[Mrepifany]

I get it... It's perfectly simple.  Life is amazing.

[llindyo]

This movie isn't about gay/ straight. It's more

about the little or big corners that can happen in one's life that we are faced with wether we want it or not. This isn't about any

dysfunctional family. There is no such thing as comepletely functional. It's more about the

morbidity and stupid horrors of limited immaginations.

[Terra1311]

you know iv never seen this movie but that is kinda beautiful.

[SailaSobriquet]

And that's why yellow makes me sad, I think.

[youngbpharaoh]

Do you know how complex your circulatory system is?

[deadhorseman]

UGH. This movie is gayer than 8 guys fucking 9 guys.

[3thebrudas]

@deadhorseman just because it has no violence in it..

[deadhorseman]

@3thebrudas Are you retarded? Kevin Spacey gets shot in the head!

[enjoyurself88]

@deadhorseman what a sad man/boy you are...

[Stiny114]

@deadhorseman You know how I know you're an idiot? Because your a foulmouthed homophobe. Go back to the Hangover. Get off our clips.

[deadhorseman]

@Stiny114 You want to know how I know you're an idiot? Its because you dont know the difference between your and you're. I know you think this is the greatest movie ever because you're still a kid and have only seen shit, but believe me this movie isnt really that great. This scene trys to be deep but comes up way short. Whatever though, enjoy being an over sensitive angry child though.

[Stiny114]

@deadhorseman Uhh, dude. Hate to break it to ya, but you're stands for you are. I learned that in second grade! And trust me, I've seen more than you have.

[FalconAlpaca]

what. the fuck. is this.

[zekee15]

Amazing writing in this part. I do love when family guy pokes fun at it tho haha

[batchemahal]

I hate that movie its so fucking retarded, and i can't understand why we have to write our a lebels about..... it fuck german schoolsystem

[Flummig3]

Totally love this scene. Tells us much about life. How we should think, feel and react. Just go with the flow and exeperience the spiruality in things. It says everything about life in general. When I get these type of messages or should I say beauty I feel calm and totally secure about life and that nothing really matters if we don't see a higher meaning along with them. American beauty is one of the best films and I can relate it very much to my own stupid(litte) life.

[nepatriots7501]

I don't like the negativity that I see in this message board. Here we have a beautiful scene of heart wrenching, nostalgic pantomime of the essence of life itself and people are saying its just a plastic bag. The music, the message, the dialog... The beauty...

[mehakimi]

@CKing180 ummm too bad we don't normally or directly perceive it the circulatory system...

[binkerrrrr]

DO YOU EVER FEEL LIKE A PLASTIC BAG?

[beefymcmanst1c]

why am i watching this?? FUCK MY LIFE!!!!

[byrnejohn82]

Its a fucking plastic bag.

[CKing180]

Its just some trash blowing in the Wind! Do you have any idea how complicated your circulatory system is?!

[Vidoll4ever]

@CKing180 God damn.... Some people just don't get it at ALL

[JenniEivind]

@CKing180 Family guy ftw <3

[syndetic]

@CKing180 Do you know how complicated a plastic bag blowing in the wind is? All the sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-su­b-sub-atomic particles, building upon each other and coalescing and whorling, so many of them they outnumber the stars in the universe. They do their dance and what we see is only one of many — nay, infinite — points of view: a plastic bag blowing in the wind.

[drewsky684]

@syndetic yeah, I'm gonna have to side with the circulatory system argument. Sure there are millions of sub-atomic particles moving in concert to make this bad dance in the wind as if it has no care in the world but that moment. BUT the circulatory system is also made up of the same stuff, and what it is capable of is almost a true miracle...it completely pwns this bag.

[Vidoll4ever]

@CKing180 you obviously didn't get the movie.... it's about how even the smallest thing can be significant and beautiful, not about what is the most complicated and big.

[DrRabbitz]

@Vidoll4ever That quote was spoken by GOD! An animated god, but god nonetheless!

[donnk]

@CKing180

I think the point of this scene went flying past your head,

[305991523]

way too much beauty in this world - for me to handle. Lord give me strength.

[Ecdysiast96]

you are magic. How did you know that i needed medications in the front pocket of that bag? I didn't tell you. Oh yeah, you saw my sorry ass. Believe that I love you yet?

[tamy9190]

no podes cortar esa parte. es la mejor de toda la pelicula!!!!

[joshuaglorca]

Almost perfert... But you CAN'T cut the video without finish the wonderful quote.

[Catastropheinbloom]

i dont get it

[filmmaker787]

[xperfectlyflawedx1]

To one of the most moving films I've ever witnessed
