jajaj the marine probably was gay during the war when he was in service. . . and I think Col. Fitt kill because Lester knew at thet point that he was gay
The guy that gets shot is such a good actor his character is always so complex yet so simple his movies are great and i just cant wait to see another..
"Samurai8": Well, maybe your question got a thumbs down because "neighbor or wife" neglects the evidence right before your EYES!!! (Blood-stained shirt, gloves, gun missing from its place on the wall - Duh!!) His neighbor was a closet gay who obviously had a problem BEING gay, and when he was rejected by Spacey - having "gotten the wrong idea" about him - was so mortified and resentful, that it pushed him over the line.
i know its mean and your all going to hate me over this probably, not that i hate gays i love them actually there so nice of people. but when he says "what is this,fucking gay pride parade?" i laughed :( i feel horrible.
Lol, it's okay. Sometimes you just gotta laugh. As long as you didn't mean harm, I don't see the problem, being gay myself. I laughed myself. Perhaps maybe it was just so sudden and random. ;P
It's no big deal, honestly. If there were no ill intentions you're not a bad person. I'm a lesbian and I always have a good laugh at whatever dyke jokes South park or other such shows can come up with. It's really just a matter of if someone can laugh at themselves or not. :P
This male actor (playing son) has some of the most powerful and beautiful eyes I've ever seen, makes me feel like watching this movie I've never seen (blush)
I love Chris Cooper in this film, he is one of my favourite actors. The emotion in his eyes when he realises that Lester doesn't want him, is absolutely mind-blowing.I love how you can see the tears mixed in with the rain. It's a shame he couldn't come to terms with himself and his sexuality. Thank you for posting.
(I also love perving on Chris Cooper, when he is in that wet T-shirt, and the way it lies on his tummy.)Hubba hubba!!
he killed him because he was a wreck. most gays are (no offense) he thought that lester was someone else, but when he figured he wasnt, he just have to "blow him up"
It's been observed, actually, the homosexuals have healthier relationships than most heterosexual couples, so don't just talk out your ass, douch bag.
@thefuckheadsgalore Yea, but the same stats can work the other way too. For example, it's been observed that homosexual couples are considerably more likely to experience domestic violence. (FRC study, "Comparing the Lifestyles of Homosexual Couples to Married Couples")
That's messed up! He didn't have to kill him. But then again maybe that was God's plan. Notice the red roses through out the movie. His last thought was his family. This movie deserved every award.
Take note all of you: Most homophobic men that I know, are fag-bashers BECAUSE they question their own sexuality (many are gay but try to act straight and have a girlfriend, or get married and hope the gayness will go away, but it never does --> gay guys are wired gay and you can't fix it) Anyways, Colonel Fitts freaked out to think he actually acted out sexually, kissing Lester, honoring his true homosexuality, so he lost it and had to kill Lester, his only witness to Fitts being gay. Rent it.

I cried when I saw this movie..Though I wasnt feeling Mr. "Cat Daddy next door"...I felt soooooo bad for him at the end..he finally opened up and look what happen!!! BANANAZ!!!
i hate the neighbor, i'm pretty sure kevin had other things on his mind besdies his neightbor kissing him, people should be so desparet to keep their sexuality a secret as to go to the lenghts of killing people who know.. that's so pitifull...and petty.
kevein spacy rox, American Beauty is a very inspirational and phenomenol[sp?] movie!
NO, you won't dislike Spacey if you see this movie..you will love him more. He's just a guy going through a mid life crisis...Kevin is amazing in this.
I LOVE KEVIN SPACEY..... but...i haven't seen this movie yet and this is all freaking me out in a really weird way, am i going to dislike spacey if i see this movie??
I think this scene is incredible, I´ve heard about the film a lot, specially that it was Academy Award Winner, but I never really knew the content of it till yesterday. This was a very strong scene, it made a similar efect in me as the one you described. How can a secret, well-hidden, guide a man´s behaviour through all his life?
You should put the little scene of Kevin Spacey's face dead at the table.
