Review of American Beauty

American Beauty, Sam Mendes’s film, is set in The United States of America in the 1999s, and won five Oscars. The film is based on an American family, but especially & the most important character who is the father. The peculiarity of this family is the characters who are involved in: At first, the mother, who is bad-tempered, she is a perfectionist and immaculate woman, obsess to success with her job. Secondly, the teenager girl, character with not much self-esteem and embarrassed with her parents. Thirdly, the father, who has a monotone and boring live; he is & relaxed men fed up with his job, hated by his daughter and his wife and upset with his age.
The film combines humour, drama, suspense, and love. In some occasions the film makes you think about our life with some philosophical details.

To sum up, although the end is unexpected and strange, the film in general is great, the director and the scriptwriter worked well. In addition, the actors are good.
I recommend the film to all the people, especially the people who are fed up with their life and need some changes.
