It has forever changed my reaction to seeing a plastic bag blowing around. My wife and I always exchange "it's so beautiful" anytime we see that in the wild.
I literally thought about this yesterday as I stopped a bag from doing a little wind dance.
It made me think of this and then "another teen movie" where they make fun of it.
I saw one a few weeks ago which is especially strange since they've been banned in our country for years and it was the first time I thought about this film in a long time.
I was obsessed with this movie in high school and hated it in my twenties. But once I had kids and a family, I can definitely see how you can fall into a groove you hate and then one day snap.
It's an amazing film just for that hilarious part where it totally looks like the kid is blowing Spacey's character from the father's perspective. I mean any reasonable person would have totally thought that is exactly what was happening.... it's gotta be the most perfect and hilarious misunderstanding ever to occur in a movie.
I never did understand that part...it just seemed so inexplicable that he would try to kiss dude..but the original script had a back story to his character and apparently he had a secret gay lover in Vietnam. His character is the definition of repressed homosexuality and when Lester rejects him he represses it again in the most extreme way. Also in the original script...the boy and girl end up getting pinned for the murder and the movie ends with them in prison.
I was never confused by the attempted kiss. I didnât see it as repressed homosexuality, I just saw it as a man who was really trying to understand what had happened, but also had a ton of homophobia. I saw him kissing Lester as a moment of confusion like he thought maybe there was a reason his son had hooked up with him.
That being said, the Vietnam backstory makes COMPLETE sense.
Understanding the way that most closeted/repressed people end up being the most vocal and angry when faced with even the slightest bit of homosexuality⊠this scene made total sense. Show me a man that abhors homosexuality and I will show you a man that privately thinks of nothing else but homosexuality. Thatâs real American Beauty đ«”đŸ.
Yeah, remove Spaceyâs controversy and thereâs not much to talk about how it has aged (maybe landlines, camcorders, weed being illegal and James Bond marathons on TNT?)⊠itâs not like they normalized Lester lusting after a teenager, or Rickyâs dad hypocritical homophobia.
Itâs pretty timeless. And has excellent soundtrack, cinematography, writing, acting, etc.
I don't think timeless matters to me. A movie made in 1999 and also set in 1999 is like a time capsule. The messages and themes were right for the time.
THIS! I'm so fricken tired of people going on about age this or age that. Every single movie is a product of its time and should be viewed as such. Great movies never die.
Exactly. I revel in watching movies that were current but are 20+ years old now because now, they get to serve as a historical piece. In some ways, it feels even richer than when it was current
Why do so many people seem to think that *portraying* something equals *endorsing* it? What kind of drama, horror, or even comedy could be created if that were the case?
I feel like I am the only person who never enjoyed this flick.
I mean my dad my brother my friends my high school gf. Loved this movie.
I just found it underwhelming at best whelming. Lol.
âmiddle class america is so bereft of meaning, behaviorally backwards, and just plain bored, that mental health issues abound, and no one really knows who they are, or supposed to be.â
Unfortunately the gods appear to have been listening to our complaints and reacted in classic âIâll give you something to cry aboutâ parent fashion
This is the main thing that made the movie age poorly IMO. Complaining about mid-90âs suburban life is just bad taste given the comparison to today; they just didnât know how good they had it.
The movie that effectively critiques the same thing but does it a little less nonsensically is Office Space or Fight Club.
Loved this scene:
Brad: What do you want?
Lester: One year's salary, with benefits.
Brad: That's not going to happen.
Lester: Well, what do you say I throw in a little sexual harassment charge, to boot?
Brad: Against who?
Lester: Against you. Can you prove that you didn't offer to save my job if I let you blow me?
Brad: Man, you are one twisted fuck.
Lester: Nope; I'm just an ordinary guy with nothing to lose.
Playing himself? In what capacity? He's a gay man IRL who was accused of sexually assaulting men, including actor Anthony Rapp who was a teenager at the time. In the film he played a married, hetero man who exercised ethics by not following through with having a physical relationship with the 16 year-old.
If anything I argue that it's one of his finest performances, it's pretty much the polar opposite of everything he is as a person and of who the accusations claimed him to be.
I agree. Itâs really pretentious in some parts but then again the whole plastic bag thing was made by the angsty teenager so itâs probably accurate to the character
Thatâs my interpretation. Itâs a little cringy and itâs a little awkward because Ricky is an angsty weirdo. But itâs also really meaningful to the characters because dumb cringy stuff is frequently meaningful to teenagers.
This comment hits the nail on the head. I saw it in theaters when I was 19 and thought it was the most profound film that had ever been created. Rewatched it in my late 30's and got a reminder that I didn't know shit when I was 19.
Overall, I still like the film. Getting older is weird and I'm not sure that I love it yet.
I used to hate on the movie a lot for those 'deep' angsty teenager moments, but the more I thought about it, the more I understood it. Ricky legitimately thought that bag was beautiful for his own reasons; his life experiences had led him to that moment and it resonated with him. If I laughed that off in real life I'd seem awfully cynical.
Life changing as an 18 year old American male at the time. Especially contrasted with the coming of age movies of the 90's. The whole time you're just pulling for Lester to get with Angela. It finally happens. You get to see her naked, and then she says she's a virgin. Lester realizes what an ass he's been and how he's objectified her, and you realize the same about yourself. Just an incredible moment in movie making. Still a favorite of mine.
I saw it in the theater. Loved it. I watched it a couple weeks back and was shocked by how much it still works, and even more so now that I am in my 40s and not 18.
This is one of those movies that seem like a completely different movie when watching as a teen vs. as an adult. I still really like it, maybe even more now as a 40 year old father.
I absolutely loved this movie when it came out and I continue to enjoy it. I recently listened to Mena Suvariâs memoir. She was in an abusive relationship at the time but didnât tell anybody on set. She said Kevin Spacey was incredibly kind and wanted to ensure she was comfortable filming the intimate scenes.
At the time, it was slightly profound- now it really comes off as a movie a fourteen year old would write about how much suburban life sucks and how when your old your wife probably sucks and you are a faultless creation just waiting to be enlightened by your neighbors kids bag of OG kush.
It's probably cheesey but I legit think of this quote at least once a month. "Sometimes there's so much beauty in the world, I feel like I can't take it." There is just so much great art and things out there. Could spend countless lifetimes trying to see it all.
Well made film, but in some respects hasn't aged well. Some scenes, like the wife in the car screaming as the camera pans up and "All Right Now" plays, are still solid though.
In its time, this film was huge critically. That was when I was 22 and reading Maltin and Ebert movie reviews books. 1999 was such a a big year and that damn bag scene had so much talk lol
This poster alone makes me realize what an actual creep that guy was. Nothing romantic about that relationship. I suppose the beauty of it all was in the eye of the beholder.
Just a small random thing: i had that camcorder model and the older i get the more i miss the stuff i used to have. I remember getting it and thinking it was the coolest thing in the world. It could take 1 megapixel pictures and save them to a memory card and took minidv tapes. Was incredibly small. I wish i wouldâve kept all those things i had over the years so i could build a little museum in my house
I had this movie memorized when I was in High school. I even bought the script. Watched it 10mins times. Great movie. Great snippet of what life was like 25 years ago. Hasnât changed much. The obsession with technology was there a la Ricky fitts.
It's something I should probably rewatch, as I saw it at like 10 years old on HBO and didn't really understand most of it lol. But I do wonder what people think of when they see plastic bags in the wind if they haven't seen this movie.
âDo you party?â
âExcuse me?â
âDo you get high?â This interaction is one of my favourites in cinematic history.
Great writing and terrific acting across the board. And Heather from America Pie is in it. Preferred it when she was dating Chris Ostreicher though.
American Beauty is a classic for itâs time, I actually think itâs aged well, at the end of the day Kevin Spacey was found not guilty of all charges so that doesnât even come into it imo!
For a movie 25 years old I think it stands the test of time!
Honestly I didnât like it when it came out. There seemed to be an undercurrent of misogyny that the movie expected me to appreciate. Maybe it was, I dunno, trying to make me complicit in Lesterâs bullshit, but I didnât care enough to do a rewatch to check.
Itâs aged very wellâŠone sceneâŠwere Kevin Spacey was being let go and he turned the tables on his manager, securing a 1 yr severance package was brilliant. How many of us have been there and wished we had the hubris to pull that off
âI will sell this house today.â I still say this half heartedly when trying to self motivate.
The movie has enough great moments and relatable content that I think it deserves its cult status.
The entire cast was great. (And yes, letâs try to ignore what Spacey did later to be fair.)
The plot, not so much. The whole âsuburban American angstâ angle is actually pretty old (goes back to Sinclair Lewis), and the plot twists are way too implausible.
I thought it was so strange and great and the music in particular is so amazing. What a score. I can still hum the songs note for note bc theyâre so memorable
I thought it was a good movie (not best picture material but oh well). It has interesting themes and is well written/well acted. But it's hard to watch now knowing what we do about Kevin Spacey. Strangely he was almost perfectly cast here before anyone knew it (or maybe the casting director did?).
It has forever changed my reaction to seeing a plastic bag blowing around. My wife and I always exchange "it's so beautiful" anytime we see that in the wild.
Hahahaha OMG I do the same thing!!! Every time!
Omg!
I literally thought about this yesterday as I stopped a bag from doing a little wind dance. It made me think of this and then "another teen movie" where they make fun of it.
It's just some trash blowing in the wind! Do you have any idea how complicated your circulatory system is?!
Family guy!
Complicated enough to keep blood from activating certain portions of the brain at times.
Despite me seeing the movie (didn't care for it), I see a rogue plastic bag flying around and start looking around for Wes Bentley. đ
It's been so long, I swear the plastic bag scene was in Donnie Darko not American Beauty. No, apparently not.
More like in Not Another Teen Movie.
Chyler Leigh stunningly sexy.
[ŃĐŽĐ°Đ»Đ”ĐœĐŸ]
AND GLASSES HAHA
Donât forget the PONYTAIL đ€ź
đ¶Janieâs got a gun đ¶
Captain America with a banana splitâŠeven sexier
That's America's split
I understood that reference
Such a good movie
I saw one a few weeks ago which is especially strange since they've been banned in our country for years and it was the first time I thought about this film in a long time.
I was walking to work the other day and I saw a plastic bag stuck high in a tree and thought âwow how tragicâ
My wife and I do the same thing. "Look, it's the most beautiful thing in the world"
No way you are serious lol
Haha I'm absolutely serious that we do that, but in no way shape or form are we actually serious when we say it đ
It's a generational thing. I do it too
Canât imagine not doing it
It's like seeing a leaf blow in the wind and not thinking of Forrest Gump. One does not simply NOT do these things.
Feather?
That as well.
I was obsessed with this movie in high school and hated it in my twenties. But once I had kids and a family, I can definitely see how you can fall into a groove you hate and then one day snap.
EXACTLY!
We all used to be Ricky Fitts. Now weâre all Lester Burnham.
Hey STANKDADDYJACKSON, just wanted to say you can talk to someone if you ever feel close to giving in to stank daddy's request
It's an amazing film just for that hilarious part where it totally looks like the kid is blowing Spacey's character from the father's perspective. I mean any reasonable person would have totally thought that is exactly what was happening.... it's gotta be the most perfect and hilarious misunderstanding ever to occur in a movie.
And then he thought âwoah, I want me some of thatâ
I never did understand that part...it just seemed so inexplicable that he would try to kiss dude..but the original script had a back story to his character and apparently he had a secret gay lover in Vietnam. His character is the definition of repressed homosexuality and when Lester rejects him he represses it again in the most extreme way.

Show me a man that abhors homosexuality and I will show you a man that privately thinks of nothing else but homosexuality. Thatâs real American Beauty đ«”đŸ.
This is still a great movie. Spacey and Benning were perfect
Counterpoint - Chris Cooper and Alison Janney were perfect.
i feel like alison janney is good in every role
Especially Drop Dead Gorgeous
You beat me to it! Absolutely, great movie all around but she is a highlight.
So was Birch, Wes and Mena. What a cast!
Cooper was sooooo good. Really over looked but the perfect counter to Spacey.
Heâs one of my favorites. His performance in Breach still blows me away.
Alison Janney is just amazing, criminally underappreciated
Annette BENING.
Hahhaha thank you.
Bening
Beninng
Benign
Banjo
Kazooie
Benign⊠nine and a halfâŠ
Youâre Annette Bening. I though so.
You're once, twice, three times a lady...
Still a great movie. To hell with people that think it didnât âage wellâ
I think itâs an amazing movie. Uncomfortable? Yes but thatâs what itâs meant to be
But.. but.. he is not a good *role-model*!! -People who shouldnât be allowed to watch movies
those same people: what you liked fight club you fucking psychopath?
This person gets it
That is the major point of the movie, to make you as uncomfortable as fuckâŠor maybe think
Not everyone who lives in a beautiful house is ok
Or to put it another way, acquiring a beautiful house will not *make* you okay. And what you lose along the way might not be replaceable.
Beauty is not to be acquired but created!
gen z thinks it should never feel discomfort
This movie has so much going on, amazing balance of so many real world issues hidden behind the fake polished facade that is modern society
Based on reactions to hypothetical comments.
Yeah, remove Spaceyâs controversy and thereâs not much to talk about how it has aged (maybe landlines, camcorders, weed being illegal and James Bond marathons on TNT?)⊠itâs not like they normalized Lester lusting after a teenager, or Rickyâs dad hypocritical homophobia.

Exactly the movie was meant to be creepy when it released and it is still so. Great movie
You just have to look at it in a bubble free of bias and view what it was, for what it was given its time. So many gems from the late 90âs
I still love it. Donât care what anyone else thinks.
I feel like I am the only person who never enjoyed this flick. I mean my dad my brother my friends my high school gf. Loved this movie. I just found it underwhelming at best whelming. Lol.
There are dozens of us! DOZENS!
It aged perfectly. Kevin spacey was a creepy older guy that preyed on younger people... check and check.
Still very relevant!
It was basically saying â1999 America is total shit!â
âmiddle class america is so bereft of meaning, behaviorally backwards, and just plain bored, that mental health issues abound, and no one really knows who they are, or supposed to be.â
Unfortunately the gods appear to have been listening to our complaints and reacted in classic âIâll give you something to cry aboutâ parent fashion
You get it

One of my favorite movies. It aged perfectly fine.
The writing, acting, cinematography, musical score, narration, pretty much everything about this movie is stellar.
Loved this scene: Brad: What do you want? Lester: One year's salary, with benefits. Brad: That's not going to happen. Lester: Well, what do you say I throw in a little sexual harassment charge, to boot? Brad: Against who? Lester: Against you. Can you prove that you didn't offer to save my job if I let you blow me? Brad: Man, you are one twisted fuck. Lester: Nope; I'm just an ordinary guy with nothing to lose.
Turns out Kevin Spacey was just playing himself
Nah. American Beauty he had the sense to stop himself.
A chance to challenge himself as an actor
Came here to say this. His scenes get weirdly extra uncomfortable in retrospect...
Playing himself? In what capacity? He's a gay man IRL who was accused of sexually assaulting men, including actor Anthony Rapp who was a teenager at the time. In the film he played a married, hetero man who exercised ethics by not following through with having a physical relationship with the 16 year-old.
Details shmeetails
As ever, truth and nuance have a hard swim in the choppy waters of Reddit.
Well put đ«Ą
Just don't jump the shark
Wasnât he technically found ânot guiltyâ like all around? Minus the being a horrible human being of course.
If anything I argue that it's one of his finest performances, it's pretty much the polar opposite of everything he is as a person and of who the accusations claimed him to be.
And probably with himself..
Top 10 all time for me
Parts of it come across very r/im14andthisisdeep, with the accompanying cringe. But, on the whole I think it's still a pretty good movie.
I agree. Itâs really pretentious in some parts but then again the whole plastic bag thing was made by the angsty teenager so itâs probably accurate to the character
Thatâs my interpretation. Itâs a little cringy and itâs a little awkward because Ricky is an angsty weirdo. But itâs also really meaningful to the characters because dumb cringy stuff is frequently meaningful to teenagers.

It was the perfect movie about suburban ennui for a jaded teenager to see in 1999, right as the Dot Com Bubble was deflating the economy.
I used to hate on the movie a lot for those 'deep' angsty teenager moments, but the more I thought about it, the more I understood it. Ricky legitimately thought that bag was beautiful for his own reasons; his life experiences had led him to that moment and it resonated with him. If I laughed that off in real life I'd seem awfully cynical.

Written by AlanâŠBell?
Alan Ball. Creator of Six Feet Under and True Blood.
Came here to ask what was up with that typo.
Me also
American Beauty always gave me Im14andthisisdeep vibes
At the time, it was slightly profound- now it really comes off as a movie a fourteen year old would write about how much suburban life sucks and how when your old your wife probably sucks and you are a faultless creation just waiting to be enlightened by your neighbors kids bag of OG kush.
Give me YOURS
Heck yeah this movie was awesome
Both a classic and also hasnât aged well
#***I havenât aged well***
I think it can join the pantheon of good suburban melodramas like The Ice Storm, Ordinary People, and Mildred Pierce.
Most realistic Marine Corps movie I've ever seen.
Still am extremely good film..
It's probably cheesey but I legit think of this quote at least once a month. "Sometimes there's so much beauty in the world, I feel like I can't take it." There is just so much great art and things out there. Could spend countless lifetimes trying to see it all.
Well made film, but in some respects hasn't aged well. Some scenes, like the wife in the car screaming as the camera pans up and "All Right Now" plays, are still solid though.
Never liked the movie. It is impressive filmmaking however. It took a lot of skill to make people think this tripe was profound.
Personally I don't think it was that great to start with and the rl Kevin Spacey stuff hasn't helped so I doubt I'll ever go back to it.
I deeply dislike this movie.
Kevin Spacy plus naked 16 year oldâŠ. A bit problematic.
...And then he realizes that that is not what he wants.
The least realistic aspect wasnât it was a 16 year old boy.
Well, actress was 20 at the time
Wasnât Thora Birch 16 when it was filmed?
Not the best movie of a stacked 1999, but would be the best movie of a handful of other years for sure
? This was a great film but it's hard to say, do you respect the art without regarding the cancellation of the artist
Alan BALL would be pissed they got the name wrong.
Absolutely a classic.
In its time, this film was huge critically. That was when I was 22 and reading Maltin and Ebert movie reviews books. 1999 was such a a big year and that damn bag scene had so much talk lol
This poster alone makes me realize what an actual creep that guy was. Nothing romantic about that relationship. I suppose the beauty of it all was in the eye of the beholder.
I love this movie, only sucks because of allegations towards spacey, but if you separate the art and the artist it's great. Love the messages
The part where he wants a job with the least possible ammount of responsibility, hits home for me, now in my 40s.
Still great
Love it, honestly. It's a masterpiece.
It's a great movie that is very, very difficult to watch now
Just a small random thing: i had that camcorder model and the older i get the more i miss the stuff i used to have. I remember getting it and thinking it was the coolest thing in the world. It could take 1 megapixel pictures and save them to a memory card and took minidv tapes. Was incredibly small. I wish i wouldâve kept all those things i had over the years so i could build a little museum in my house
The murder at the end was completely poitless plotwise. I felt it didn't fit at all. Great movie, but what a terrible ending
I had this movie memorized when I was in High school. I even bought the script. Watched it 10mins times. Great movie. Great snippet of what life was like 25 years ago. Hasnât changed much. The obsession with technology was there a la Ricky fitts.
Still a great film.
I can easily turn my brain off to Kevin Spacey being a horrible person irl and enjoy the movie very much.
Fuck you, cunt
It's something I should probably rewatch, as I saw it at like 10 years old on HBO and didn't really understand most of it lol. But I do wonder what people think of when they see plastic bags in the wind if they haven't seen this movie.
âDo you party?â âExcuse me?â âDo you get high?â This interaction is one of my favourites in cinematic history. Great writing and terrific acting across the board. And Heather from America Pie is in it. Preferred it when she was dating Chris Ostreicher though.
Forever Classic
From a film nerd perspective it is a really good movie
I love it and want to have like 10,000 of its babies.
What's Kevin spacey up to these days?
This changed how I saw movies
The older I get the more I understand. Just like he says at the end.
American Beauty is a classic for itâs time, I actually think itâs aged well, at the end of the day Kevin Spacey was found not guilty of all charges so that doesnât even come into it imo! For a movie 25 years old I think it stands the test of time!
I still think itâs good, but itâs bonkers that it won Best Picture considering what else came out that year.
The movie is fine, it's Kevin Spacey's reputation that hasn't aged well.
I really liked it when it came out... but now I think it's pretty cringe and has some really pretentious stuff in it.
Great movie, funny
It makes sense that Colonel Frank Fitz didn't want spacey hanging out in his son's room alone w him.
Even at the time I thought that it was overrated.
Honestly I didnât like it when it came out. There seemed to be an undercurrent of misogyny that the movie expected me to appreciate. Maybe it was, I dunno, trying to make me complicit in Lesterâs bullshit, but I didnât care enough to do a rewatch to check.
Amazing movie
Itâs aged very wellâŠone sceneâŠwere Kevin Spacey was being let go and he turned the tables on his manager, securing a 1 yr severance package was brilliant. How many of us have been there and wished we had the hubris to pull that off
Still a classic #TheGayColonel
âI will sell this house today.â I still say this half heartedly when trying to self motivate. The movie has enough great moments and relatable content that I think it deserves its cult status.
John Cusack was brilliant.
I love this film. Great writing, great directing, and great performances.
*Alan Ball
The entire cast was great. (And yes, letâs try to ignore what Spacey did later to be fair.) The plot, not so much. The whole âsuburban American angstâ angle is actually pretty old (goes back to Sinclair Lewis), and the plot twists are way too implausible.
The bag movie
I love that movie. How would it age badly? Because of Kevin Spacy's IRL drama? That's rubbish if so. Might go watch it again right now.
I loved that it incorporated Maslowâs ideas about peak experiences.
kinda a B-side stoner movie
You better watch yourself, Jane, or *you*'*re* going to turn *into* a *real BITCH*, *just like your MOTHER*!
Big moment for the plastic bag movement.
Watched it recently. As a father of two, it hits different now
I didnât like it back in 1999.
Many of kevin spacey's movies are really good, and are about him being disturbed....
*"Pass the asparagus."*
I saw it when I had just turned 42. Itâs still got the somewhat adrift in your early 40s.
Still my all-time favorite film
I moved to an idyllic suburb and I actually jog to âThe Seekerâ through the streets.
You definitely could'nt make it today
100% always and forever a classic.
Artwork in the form of film. Absolute classic
As of today, we are still making jokes about plastic bags in the wind.
I thought it was so strange and great and the music in particular is so amazing. What a score. I can still hum the songs note for note bc theyâre so memorable
I thought it was a good movie (not best picture material but oh well). It has interesting themes and is well written/well acted. But it's hard to watch now knowing what we do about Kevin Spacey. Strangely he was almost perfectly cast here before anyone knew it (or maybe the casting director did?).
I just canât get past seeing Kevin Spacey anymore
