Some critical questions and two scenes from American Beauty. We talked about the Myth of the American Dream today in Class. This is the basis for out discussion.
this film was so heavy- I saw in my mid-twenties and it kept me thinking for days about my loss of identity as time goes by- the roles we choose to play and how suppressing your own happiness can really fuck your kids up-it's a fine line and a mind blowing responsibility to bring another human being into this unstable world...and still be able to find beauty in it.
Thank you! American Beauty still makes my top ten.

Everything has a cost associated with it. One person's dream can be another's nightmare.
