I remember seeing this film in 2000. Why did I watch this movie, mainly because it won the Oscar for Best Picture that year? At that time, because I had always had a soft spot for western films, especially the best film at the Oscar, I heard that this American Beauty won the prize, so I searched everywhere for the disc, finally found a clear version of the CD and began to enjoy it. ?

The biggest and deepest impression of this film is actually what my title says: "Women can cheat. Do men have to die if they think about it? " Perhaps this also reflects the real situation of American middle-class families! That's why this film was so loved by the Oscar judges, and finally "American Beauty" won the five awards of best film, best director, best actor, best original script and best cinematography at the 2000 Academy Awards, making kevinspacey fowler an Oscar winner. So what's so special about this film that it can beat many excellent films and win honors? Let's discuss it through the plot.

Kevinspacey fowler's husband worked in an advertising company for 14 years. I am in a difficult situation because I am tired of the customers I want to curry favor with and the self-righteous boss in the company. Although his wife Antoine Benin plays the role of wishing him success in his career and becoming an outstanding figure, he is tired of his job because his heart has begun to enter a crisis of middle age. On the other hand, his wife Antoine Benin's career is thriving. His wife is beautiful, capable and successful, and already owns a real estate company. The great contrast between husband and wife has changed her husband's psychology. After all, whether in China society or American society, men always appear as the so-called strong. When a wife's status and career surpass her husband's, there is bound to be a psychological gap between her husband, or it may be that this gap determines the destruction of their family. This is actually the same for Chinese and foreign families. ?

Because her husband didn't make any achievements in his work, he felt that his wife looked at him with special respect and was even full of irony, so the relationship between husband and wife became increasingly alienated. Deep down, he thinks that his wife must think he is a loser, which makes him feel inferior. They haven't been in touch for several years, that is, they haven't been married. Please allow me to explain clearly. Antoine Benin devoted all his energy to his career. Of course, because of her success, she looks more like a confident professional woman from the outside. However, her inner desire for feelings is very strong. After all, it is not easy for a woman to break through outside. The success of her career often means that women's feelings need more comfort. However, due to kevinspacey fowler's inferiority complex, he was indifferent to his wife, and as a result, her wife became even more indifferent, even despising her husband, and it may be an inducement to stimulate her husband through money! Maybe someone will understand it this way. However, in this way, in the husband's mind, he thinks that his wife is stinky and everything is money first, so it is more difficult for husband and wife to communicate. ?

The disharmony between husband and wife's family relationship also affects the daughter. Their daughter is played by thora birch, who is unhappy all day. Because she is in adolescence, she thinks her parents should care more about her and help her more, but their parents are full of gunpowder and their family is not as happy as outsiders see. ?

So, she hates her parents very much. She feels that her parents don't pay attention to her at all, because they almost never really pay attention to her. So she can only be with her girlfriend all day. One day, she found that her new neighbor was filming her movements with a camera, which made her life full of excitement and even made her neighbors take a nude video. Then she just wants to save money for breast augmentation to make her figure more beautiful. ?

Their neighbors also have troubles. The boy's mother is withdrawn, while the boy's father is a marine. His military career made him rigid and strict. In order to prevent his son from taking drugs, he sends Rick's urine samples for drug testing every six months ...?

So the film revolves around such a plot. ?

First, Antoine Benin's wife meets a famous real estate developer. As the business relationship between the two sides became closer and closer, the hungry wife sought emotional sustenance, so the two sides quickly warmed up and had an improper sexual relationship outside the motel, which was unfortunately seen by friends in kevinspacey fowler. ?

The wife's abnormal behavior made her husband more depressed, so she began to look for excitement. One day, Lester went to watch his daughter's performance as a cheerleader in a middle school basketball game. When he met his daughter's girlfriend Angela, she had just finished her cheerleading performance, and he was deeply moved by her beauty at once. Since then, his deep desire for the opposite sex has been found again, and the long-lost feeling, the feeling of love, the feeling of first love and the beautiful feeling in his heart have been rekindled, so the story becomes more and more interesting and Lester's life has begun to change. ?

Every day, he begins to carefully observe his appearance in the mirror, and anyone who has had this experience will know. He also insists on exercising every day in order to achieve the goal of slimming through exercise and make his middle-aged body more elastic. He always contacts his daughter's friends through various excuses to attract her attention. His strange behavior not only failed to attract Angela's attention, but made his neighbor, the father of the boy who also suffered from the midlife crisis, pay more attention to him, because kevinspacey fowler's behavior may also be a temptation to the boy's father, but the temptation is the same sex. I think the neighbor's father's hobby may also be related to the tradition of the US military. Laugh! ! ! ?

Of course, whether it is a broken arm or a comrade-in-arms, it is a hit on the head. Kevinspacey fowler is not good at this and turned him down. But this incident made kevinspacey fowler lost in thought. He suddenly woke up and decided to find himself and face life again. But the development of things is always unpredictable and full of uncertainty. When the husband is ready to improve the relationship with his wife, the wife who has to change because of her husband's problems has found emotional sustenance in her career and is getting closer and closer to the real estate developer. When her husband's friends told him about his wife, her husband completely collapsed. He is going to divorce his wife. When she heard this, she was very shocked, because she thought the responsibility was not on her, but on her husband. Now, her husband has to divorce himself first. Her anger and despair were uncontrollable. The best part of this movie is that when kevinspacey fowler was studying the photos of his family, a dark gun pointed at the back of his head and fired a shot, and it was all over. ?

This is his wife who is going to leave, but she is very angry. She went back to her room and shot him, so the movie ended.

American Beauty is the first film directed by sam mendes. He used to be a drama director, so we enjoyed an alternative film that skillfully combined dramatic effect with black comedy, forming Mendes' own unique artistic style. The performances of Kevin Spacey and Anthony Benin, the main actors in the film, are classic. Kevinspacey fowler vividly interprets the psychology and demeanor of frustrated middle-aged heroes in the film, and Antoine Benin's wife, who had to be passively changed because of her husband's change of heart, won the sympathy of many audiences. ?

This film shows and reveals the deep-seated reasons and background of the American middle-class family crisis, and can be called a great portrait of the inner world of middle-aged men in particular. It also tells us that in the middle-aged crisis period, the feelings and relationships between husband and wife directly determine the life and death of a family. It also tells us that no matter what happens, we should be more rational and emotional, less impulsive and impatient to avoid tragedies.
