American Beauty is a 1999 Oscar Winning film starring Kevin Spacey,Thorn Birch, Wes Beastly,Mena Suvari,Annette Benning,Chris Cooper and Peter Gallagher. Directed by Sam Mendes(Revolutionary Road),the story follows Lester(Spacey) a 40 year old married disgruntled man who falls in love with his daughter's(Birch) friend Angela(Suvari) and begins to fantasise about her non stop. But will this cause his life to spiral out of control?.
Overall it wasn't a bad film. The story is slightly dark and disturbing to watch as we see a 40 plus year old falling for a 17 year old woman and keeps having dreams about her and erects alot.
The ending totally took me out of surprise as I had no idea that this was how the film was going to end this way.
Would I watch it again..Well I would once it comes back onto Netflix or Amazon Prime again(as it was last shown today on Amazon Prime and I wanted to watch it as I never seen it before).
