DSJ #27: American Beauty

The FilmBros Club returns to decimate "baby's first indie movie", a.k.a. 1999's American Beauty. 

DSJ #27: American Beauty

However, I still think that Thora Birch's character is sympathetic because she hates both her parents and just wants to get away from them.

I, too, was 18 when this movie came out and fell for it hard, mostly because I had seen and experienced so few things out of life. Two decades later, I now see it for the same sort of Dadsturbation which produced the Taken movie series.

I constantly complain "we no longer have good movies in cinemas" but maybe we didn't have any back then either

People keep forgetting Julio and that Netherlands chick is on TOW lol, their story line is so forgetful

me too! (asterios) — i even bought the screenplay. but it does NOT hold up. it kinda reminds me about how we all went nuts for the movie “traffic” & that won best picture. now we’re all like…what the fuck was “traffic?”

I was about 18 when American beauty came out and liked it but I was 18 so I guess that's normal. It's definitely a product of its time. The homophobic gay person was a bit of a novelty back then, at least in mainstream cinema. But yeah, the movie is definitely no Office Space.

Yeah American Beauty sucks.

Two filmbro movies that are ridiculous/fun would be Total Recall and The Bad Batch. But if all you want is to be made miserable for 2-3 hours, try on Synecdoche, NY or A Serious Man for size. Your funeral.
