So ive come to the conclusion women have no idea why this movie is great (same with most films) but this in particular I have had 3 women and 2 girl friends tell me its just about a pedophile and nothing more. They can not understand subtext or any slight deep meaning behind anything. Its incredibly frustrating. Anyways what do you think of this film you GUYS?

>i asked two judgemental girls who judge things based solely on visuals and they couldn't understand a very complicated film about desire and limitations.... Its incredibly frustrating!! Anyways what do you think of this film you GUYS?

>>63433079

>>63433109

>>63433133
im sure all of your female friend love american beauty and completely understand it and are not plebs
>having dumbshit friends
That's why I don't have any.
>>63433015
>women understanding film
lol, nice meme.
Film really isn't that deep. If your friends couldn't get it, then they're probably retarded.
It's okay. I like Louis CK's review.

I might start doing that no friend thing

What's to understand? Inner beauty is more important? Surface is rarely what it seems? People are all self centered and miss out on what's really going on?
American Beauty isn't complicated. It's well directed, acted, and has some very cool hidden visual messages, but it isn't some deep philosophical journey that requires an intense study to understand.

Anon, this movie is only great to 19 year olds. I liked it when I was 19. Now I'm 33 and I think it's hyperbolic trash.
Same with Fight Club.
>>63433491
>comparing American beauty to fight club
your 19 year old self was smarter than you are now. Did you start wearing fedoras only recently?
>>63433174
Yes, that's why
>>63433553
They both deal with materialism and disillusionment, right? Both of the protagonists have sudden life changes and get shot in the end?
>>63433015
why did the military dad kiss Spacey?
>>63433629
so its the same movie yes totally right on
>>63433701
Well I never said they were the same movie, dumb dumb.
>>63433629
>fight club:
>shoots himself in the mouth and kills his evil personality (somehow)
>american beauty
>gets shot in the back of the head by his closeted gay neighbor
wow it's like a copy
>>63433671

>>63433754
you are comparing them like they are no different
dumb dumb
>>63433079
>American Beauty
>very complicated
Your characterization of OPs post is laughable

Louis C(uck)K(ing) had a good take on it
>>63433460
>hidden visual messages
Like what?

ITT: Plebception
OP if you give a shit about American Beauty you're an even worse pleb.
American Beauty is a "deep" movie for plebs
>>63433858
no thats inception
>>63433873
yea that too
>>63433888
but both attract totally different audiences...
>>63433873
and Requiem for a Dream
>>63433937
And these.
>>63433773
No, I never compared them like they are no different. I named some similarities and commented on how I feel about the movies now compared to 14 years ago.
>>63433765
...I never said it was a copy.
Girl I dated, this was her favorite movie.
She was a cunt though, so I married a sweet qtpi with pleb taste, her favorite movie is Moulin Rouge, could be worse I guess.
>>63433858
Its not deep but it does have some meaningful subtext
>>63434716
Such as what?
>>63434716
>>63435025
*crickets
>>63434059
Nightcrawler really needs to be added to that list.
