You will prepare and submit a term paper on Film Analysis: American Beauty. Your paper should be a minimum of 2250 words in length. When an individual is not loved by his wife and daughter and unacknowledged at work, more correctly he does not love his work, he thinks his desperate situation in life needs desperate remedies. In the domestic front, Lester leads an unexciting life, living silently under the thumb of his wife. But the point to be noted is that Lester is working for an advertising firm. Though there is nothing special about working there, in the characterization of Lester it has some significant meaning. Advertisements generally engage the people in the world of make-believe and lack the element of total honesty. The purpose of the advertisements is to sell the product and make profits. Lester sits on his desk brooding, the lifeless blue computer screen challenges him. From the perspective of color psychology, blue is responsible and reliable. One can rely on it to take control and do the appropriate thing in difficult times. It has a need for order and direction in life, including its living and workplaces. Next to it on the wall, a small sign reads, "Look Closer". The reflection and the sign seem to be an urgent call for Lester to break from the current life. He is yearning to find meaning in his life. The negativities that are part of the movie which have been cleverly ingrained lend support to the theme of the movie and contribute to the inner investigation process of the actors. Light can be appreciated only in relation to darkness. The uncertainties of the world are the best launching pad for the transformation of an individual and crises are indeed opportunities. The director cannot stop just by describing the adverse effects of sexuality, foul-mouthed language, and drug content. He has to show the reformation and rehabilitation aspect to dwell in the theme of inquisitiveness to know the essence of life. The perspective in the life of Carolyn played by Annette Bening who is having an affair ardently desires to further her career and her investigating process of life is entirely different from that of her husband. Their daughter Jane played by Thora Birch hates her parents and thinks that she is the creator of her own destiny and does not like any interference in her life by them.&nbsp. Thus, all three of them, have independent pursuits in life.
