Today we're talking about a comedy with grotesque black humor. I don't know if it can be counted as a comedy? I believe most people have seen such a photo, this photo is covered with red rose petals, and then a young girl lies on it in a very feminine pose, and then the rose petals cover her secret parts. This picture comes from the movie we are going to talk about today, "American Beauty".
The whole movie feels very incredible, so why use this photo as the cover of the movie?
It can be said that the girl in this picture is not the protagonist, because this picture is the picture imagined by our male protagonist, and the title of this film also makes us very confused. And the storyline of this film is also very grotesque.
First of all, the male protagonist's family, he has a very good wife, but this wife is very strict in front of him, meticulous, it can be said that there is no trace of interest. But in fact, we all know that whether a woman has an interest in a man depends on who the man is, not the woman, and sure enough, the wife who is very good in shape cheats later. The daughter of the male protagonist is a girl with a plain appearance, although she has various risky thoughts in her heart, but still has not made any action.
It all started when they moved across from a neighbor, a retired soldier with his son. Veterans have strict requirements for his son, testing his son's urine every once in a while to check if he was using drugs.
This son loves to make videos and take that old-fashioned camera. He lives opposite the hero's house, so he can often photograph the hero's daughter, he slowly fell in love with this girl, this girl also found that her father actually loved his girlfriend, and this girlfriend is very disgusting, she said that there are many men who like her ketone body, and they can't help but see her. The girl had the troubles of adolescent girls, and she had such a girlfriend, so he slowly became involved with the boy across from him, and she also knew the boy's family, and told the boy her dislike for his father.
Sure enough, this boy turned out to be a drug dealer, he had been saving money, he had saved this money just to get rid of his father and go away. When he listened to the girl's plight, he decided to help the girl. He made a ruse, he filmed the girl's father with his DVD, and he helped the girl shoot the picture of her father taking drugs, which his father saw on dvd and thought he was selling himself, and his father was of course furious and wanted to kill the neighbor.
And during the time they were in love, the girl's father had been fantasizing about the girl's girlfriend in his heart, and he had been working out, he hoped that he could attract the girl's girlfriend, and I have to say that this old father is indeed a bit perverted. However, during the time when the old father was exercising, the father's heart also underwent some changes, he felt that he owed something to the family, something to his daughter, and one day when the father was selling hamburgers, he found out that his wife was cheating.
That night, when it was raining heavily, the boy and the girl planned to elope, and that night the girl's girlfriend also came to the girl's house, and the girl's girlfriend deliberately seduced the girl's father. The boy and the girl left, the boy's father was very angry, took out a gun and intended to kill the girl's father, and the mother of the girl who had been cheated on also took back a gun, intending to kill the girl's father, at this time the girl's father took the girl's girlfriend to the bed, it seemed as if he was going to do something, but it may be conscience that made him stop his hand, and buttoned the girl's girlfriend one by one.
At this time, the two people who wanted to kill him were on the road, and the final picture was a pool of blood, he died, but the ending did not tell us who killed him, he seemed to be very happy when he died. The play looks as if the girl's father has been very obscene. But in fact, the girl's father has been slowly getting better in the process of fitness, and he is slowly realizing the importance of family. He died in the end, as if everything were satisfied. That's why this film is weird. American films are always so unexpected. Perhaps this is also the essence of him, which is unexpected and incomprehensible. This film is worth brushing many times, and after you brush it many times, you still don't know what the meaning of this film is about.
I love this kind of film, and there are many films like this in the United States. It's not so much weird, but it's that he explores things like human nature, adolescence, sex.
As Shakespeare said, 100 hamlets out of 100 people have to say that there are 100 American beauties in 100 people. The name and the content of the movie are seriously inconsistent, but I have to say that they are very compatible, the girl's discomfort in her heart is caused by her girlfriend, all the changes in the father are also caused by her girlfriend, and the mother's change is also caused by the father. This film is well worth watching, which is why I recommended it in the first place. Because I prefer American films to some films, the connotation is incomprehensible, he may not be as famous as the Marvel series in the United States, but his exploration of human nature is very profound, of course, the special effects of the United States are also let us not comment. I have to say that the thinking of American film directors is really very peculiar.
