imagine going over to ricky's house for a dime bag and he's just sitting there watching a video he recorded of a dead cat in a dumpster or something and he senses your presence and says "i watch this every day at exactly 3:41pm. it reminds me that i'm not alone in the world" and then he starts crying and you're just like "ricky... the weed"
I feel like I've been in a coma for the past twenty years. And I'm just now waking up.
What is your purpose in life? How do you see yourself? How do you interact with other people? Is your life turning into one big routine?
This film teaches you how to look closer at life, discover new things, and have a better understanding and appreciation of human nature. Never judge a book by its cover; there is always much more hidden underneath the surface.
Incredibly funny, triumphs in all areas and is a crazy fusion of so many different genres. We can all learn something from this film.
An amazingly inspirational piece with a stunning score from Thomas Newman. Sam Mendes does us proud.
lana del rey watched this and went "yep, i'm gonna base my career off of angela hayes"

How could be a beautiful flower couldn't smell and exhilarates his own perfume as an essence of his own body? We're all the same flower named American Beauty? We all flourish in the form?
It's like God's looking right at you, just for a second, and if you're careful... you can look right back...Beauty....
American Beauty is America with white fences, red roses in the garden...Blue windows and Red door making a dark mirror onto America and his citizens which live upon there. All the things there give me some darkest echoes…
I'd fuck daddy Kevin Spacey in an instant 🌹
UPDATE: This didn't age well. 😂
It feels so masterfully crafted. This film strikes every emotional beat perfectly and makes it look so easy.
I genuinely adore this film and it has been a major uplifting source for most of my life as it made me want to look good naked too, written by the creator for one of my favorite series (Six Feet Under). I feel connected to every single one of its characters and always look forward to see their stories unfold as the film nears its end. Bentley’s character is my idol.
Just the Incredible, undescribable feelibg of freedom and well... beauty
