Kevin Spacey plays Lester Burnham, a man in his mid-40s going through an intense midlife crisis; he's grown cynical and is convinced that he has no reason to go on. Lester's relationship with his wife Carolyn (Annette Bening) is not a warm one; while on the surface Carolyn strives to present the image that she's in full control of her life, inside she feels empty and desperate. Their teenage daughter Jane (Thora Birch) is constantly depressed, lacking in self-esteem, and convinced that she's unattractive. Her problems aren't helped by her best friend Angela (Mena Suvari), an aspiring model who is quite beautiful and believes that that alone makes her a worthwhile person. Jane isn't the only one who has noticed that Angela is attractive: Lester has fallen into uncontrollable lust for her, and she becomes part of his drastic plan to change his body and change his life. Meanwhile, next door, Colonel Fitts (Chris Cooper) has spent a lifetime in the Marine Corps and can understand and tolerate no other way of life, which makes life difficult for his son Ricky (Wes Bentley), an aspiring filmmaker and part-time drug dealer who is obsessed with beauty, wherever and whatever it may be.

American Beauty Film Synopsis

Lester Burnham, a depressed suburban father in a mid-life crisis, decides to turn his hectic life around after developing an infatuation with his daughter's attractive friend.

Beyond 'Amazing'Of the many, many attempts at true beauty that I have seen in one form or another, this movie suceeded, and gave me a truer understanding of what 'art' is. You have to watch it to understand it, but every detail is, literally soul touching. I won't try to explain in, but I will say what this movie has meant to me. There are few 'happy places' in my life, but the first time I watched this, the first tear that rolled down my cheek, and the first time I sat in stunned silence at the end of the film, thinking, honestly thinking about life, death, all of it's nuances, and all of it's meaning, I realized that humans truly are capable of the most powerful emotions, and that what we feel defines us more than anything we do in life. "American Beauty", "Chasing Amy", "Pulp Fiction", and "Almost Famous" are all works of art beyond what can be expected, and are all incredibly powerful. All of these are a fantastic portion of my world of art..Score: 5/5

Spec-tac-ularI have wanted to see this movie for a while and i knew it was going to be good, but now its my favorite movie of all time. plus one of the best parts of this movie is the music. Just Spe-tac-ular ( see the movie and you will get it).Score: 5/5

Felt Awkward Dad Lusting Teen GirlFilmed beautifully. The writing and acting is fantastic. Pace is just about right. Yet, American Beauty of a 16 year girl (she does look the age) being lusted and fantasized by a middle age father is simply wrong. Don't care if this is Art, but felt like a Pedophile. I might be in the minority, but with children being kidnapped, allowing a movies of this nature to consider this acceptable is deeply disturbing..Score: 1/5

Als der von Job und Ehe frustierte Lester Burnham sich in Angela, die Freundin seiner missmutigen Tochter Jane, verliebt, beginnt für ihn ein neues Leben. Zuhause zeigt er das erste Mal seit langem, wer der Herr im Hause ist, wirft seinen Job hin, erpresst sich eine satte Abfindung, erfüllt sich lang unerfüllte Träume und phantasiert über eine Affäre mit Angela. Gleichzeitig freundet er sich mit dem Nachbarsjungen Ricky an, der die Welt durch das Objektiv einer Kamera wahrnimmt und trotz der tyrannischen Überwachung durch seinen Vater einen florierenden Drogenhandel betreibt. Als sein Vater ihn und Lester bei einem Deal erwischt, ist das der Anfang vom Ende.

Español
Divertida, inquietante y sorprendente incursión en la América suburbana a través de las vidas de Lester y Carolyn, una pareja perteneciente a la clase medio-alta cuyo matrimonio -y cuyas vidas- lentamente se deshacen. Carolyn odia a su marido, su hija lo desprecia y su jefe está a punto de despedirlo. Así que Lester decide cambiar algunas cosas en su vida; a medida que va siendo más libre, consigue ser más feliz, lo que enfurece más a su esposa y a su hija.

Magyar
Lester Burnham átlagos férfi, szürke és unalmas fickó, aki legszívesebben folyton a tv előtt ülne. Az élete azonban egyik pillanatról a másikra gyökeresen megváltozik, és ennek két oka van, az egyik az, hogy ki akarják rúgni a munkahelyéről, a másik pedig, hogy elmegy a feleségével egy iskolai meccsre, ahol olyannyira megakad a szeme a lánya barátnőjén, Angelán, hogy attól kezdve képtelen kiverni a fejéből a kislányt. Amikor rájön, hogy ki fogják rúgni, ő maga is rásegít a dologra, és nem hajlandó együttműködni a vállalat költségracionalizáló szakemberével, akinek az a dolga, hogy eldöntse, kit kell majd kirúgni. Kihallgatja lánya és Angela beszélgetését, melyből az derül ki számára, hogy ha gyúrna egy kicsit felsőtestre, Angela nem tudná megállni, hogy lefeküdjön vele.

Português
Lester Burnham, um pai de família em plena crise, vê-se confrontado com um casamento que sobrevive apenas para criar a filha Jane, que parece odiá-lo, e a mulher Carolyn que só pensa no seu próprio trabalho. Ao conhecer Angela, uma colega da filha, Lester fica imediatamente atraído pela rapariga e inspirado por esta nova “musa” decide romper com a vida que levava até então: despede-se do trabalho, afirma-se em casa como nunca o tinha feito, começa a fumar erva, a fazer musculação e compra o carro dos seus sonhos...

У жены Кэролайн страстный роман с коллегой по работе, а угрюмая дочь-подросток Джейн увлечена соседским парнем, побывавшим в психиатрической больнице. Терзаемый душевными муками Лестер впадает в депрессию. Но неожиданно для себя влюбляется в одноклассницу дочери Анджелу, и эта страсть дает Лестеру мощный жизненный импульс. Он ощущает прилив сил и желаний и готов снова радоваться красоте.

Italiano
Lester e Carolyn Burnham appaiono dall'esterno una coppia perfetta, con una casa perfetta e un vicinato perfetto. In realtà Lester è un uomo, insoddisfatto della sua vita familiare e professionale, che sta cadendo in una sempre più profonda disperazione, quando improvvisamente conosce Angela, un'amica di sua figlia e se ne infatua. Nel frattempo Jane, la figlia di Lester ha conosciuto il loro timido e misterioso vicino di casa Ricky che vive oppresso da una figura paterna ossessiva.

Türkçe
Lester Burnham, çevresindeki insanlar tarafından sevilmediğini ve horgörüldüğünü düşünmektedir. Karısı Carolyn, bunca yıllık evliliklerinden sonra sanki ondan nefret eder gibi davranmaktadır. Kızı Jane, onu küçük görmektedir. Patronu ise sürekli onun girişimlerini baltalamaktadır. Yıllardır gizlemekte olduğu tutkuları sonucunda Lester, hayatında birkaç küçük değişiklik yapmaya karar verir. Böylelikle orta yaş krizini de kolaylıkla atlatabileceğine inanmaktadır. Aldığı kararlar sonucunda giderek özgürleştikçe ve mutlu olmaya başladıkça karısıyla kızını daha çok sinirlendirmeye başlar.

Nederlands
Voor de buitenwereld lijkt het alsof Lester Burnham een perfect leventje leidt: een mooi huis, goede baan, mooie vrouw, en een leuke dochter. In werkelijkheid raakt Lester echter in een steeds diepere depressie.

Český
Na první pohled jsou Burnhamovi šťastnou rodinou, jejíž život je zalit sluncem. Pohodlný dům, auto kvalitní značky, půvabná dospívající dcera, studující na správné škole, rodiče úspěšní ve svém povolání. Nikdo se tedy nediví, že paní Burnhamová (Annette Bening) je věčně samý úsměv - alespoň na veřejnosti. Ve skutečnosti je ale všechno jinak. Obraz dokonalosti matce Carolyn a dceři Jane neustále kazí otec Lester (Kevin Spacey). Není tím ramenatým, snědým "plejbojem" a co je horší, začíná stále častěji dávat najevo, že se mu nedaří a že je nespokojen se svým životem. Dokud jen odmítá roli, kterou stovky jemu podobných odevzdaně hrají, aby měli klid, je to pro rodinu sice obtížné, ale únosné. Ještě včera nerozhodný a zakřiknutý Lester se ovšem rozhodne "krizi středního věku" řešit nečekaně radikálně. Dojde mu totiž, o co v životě jde: o splnění snů a tužeb, které člověk má. Lester už nikdy nebude ubožák!

Polski
Głównym bohaterem American Beauty i narratorem zarazem jest 42-letni Lester Burnham. Oto facet, który po dwudziestu latach letargu budzi się do prawdziwego życia. Impulsem do zmian staje się koleżanka córki, w typie lolitki, rozbudzająca jego zmysły. Pod jej wpływem przewartościowuje swoje życie – ćwiczy i powraca do formy fizycznej, rzuca pracę, staje się szczery i bezkompromisowy. Powraca do marzeń z młodości, które okazują się złudzeniami, bo czy palenie trawki, jeżdżenie sportowym wozem, albo beztroska „Mc-praca” uczyni go wolnym i młodym? (opis dystrybutora)

Lester som sedan en tid känt sig missnöjd med tillvaron finner snart på anledningar att radikalt förändra sitt liv. Dessutom är hans relation till både frun och dottern på en nivå nära fryspunkten. När paret Burnham bevistar en cheerleaderuppvisning där Jane medverkar får Lester syn på hennes jämnåriga kamrat, Angela. Han blir våldsamt förälskad. Angela blir påtagligt smickrad och flirtar uppmuntrande tillbaka. Från den dagen tar Lesters liv en ny vändning...

Лестер Бернам је 42-годишњи службеник маркетиншке фирме кога је досадни живот у предграђу претворио у губитника и слабића. Јутарње самозадовољавање под тушем једно је од његових ретких задовољстава. Супруга Каролин, са којом већ одавно не спава, мисли само на посао и успех. Кћерка Џејн пролази кроз бурно раздобље пубертета, па се удаљава од оца кога не сматра никаквим ауторитетом, ни узором, а иритира је и његов непримерен интерес за њену пријатељицу, Анџелу Хејз, лепу девојку која жели постати модел како би се издигла над „обичним људима“. Ипак, управо љубав према Анџели, Лестеру враћа самопоуздање и вољу за животом.

O gal… amerikietiškas pragaras?… "Jau kuris laikas esu miręs”, - šiais pagrindinio herojaus žodžiais prasideda tragikomedija "Amerikos grožybės”, juosta, kurią daugelis kritikų jau dabar vadina viena geriausių iš kada nors Holivude sukurtų filmų. Tai jaudinantis ir šiurpinantis pasakojimas apie vienatvę, susvetimėjimą, neišsipildžiusius troškimus, slepiamas aistras, sudaužytas svajones ir apie graudžiai komišką maištą – bandymą išsivaduoti iš slegiančios kasdienybės gniaužtų.

Carolyn mrzi svog muža, kćer ga prezire, a šef će ga otpustiti. Tako Lester odluči promijeniti neke stvari u svom životu; kako postaje slobodniji, postaje sretniji, što ženu i kćer ljuti.
