This film just has it all - comedy, beauty, insight, sadness, wisdom. Amazing.
The soundtrack is beautiful too. Highly recommend watching it if you haven't, it's quite deep.

the main theme of this film honestly makes me feel so nostalgic and i have no idea why
never listened to the OST as a whole but i probably should
Kevin Spacey is a homosexual tho

I feel the same. I always think back to how it made me feel when I first saw it when I hear the soundrtack, definitely worth a listen. the OST is genius and even the other songs are pretty great, a decent mix. Also Annie Lennox's cover of Neil Young's song is probably my favorite from the whole soundtrack besides the plastic bag scene music: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xicsALcqoN8

i dont remember much about the soundtrack
the film is garbage tho
>>61127658
Both are flawless classics, fuck off and learn to appreciate art, pleb. Bet you hate Fight Club and Donnie Darko too.
>>61127612
Nope. Check his Wikipedia. Just BS rumors, he keeps his life private. Brilliant man.
>>61127697

i dont care for Donnie Darko neither but Fight Club is nice
check Happiness out, it does everything American Beauty does but better

Come on, not many normies know about this movie.
Also, how do you think it does it better? Please explain, what doesn't American Beauty do right. There's a reason it's acclaimed you know.

Most people I know haven't seen it. Stop living in a meme bubble, many don't know about it. Compared to say, Forest Gump, it's not "mainstream" it's got a cult-following that's been building but it's definitely not huge.

True
great soundtrack. as a movie it's a well photographed extended sitcom.

please be bait
>>61127987
It was actually pretty huge when it came out and seems to have faded since.
>>61127782
As a whole piece American Beauty is way better. Talking about all department of course.
Film tells with more than plot and dialogue.
