First of all, the big-tough-military-man....as a closet homosexual is a stupid Hollywood stereotype.
American Beauty sucked as far as I'm concerned because Kevin Spaceys character did'nt deserve to die. His bitch-wife did. When his narration at the begining mentions his own up-coming death I had a feeling I would'nt like the movie.
Not one character in this movie is happy....or even content. Too much of all that shit in real-life.
Basically a movie about a middle-aged man lusting after a teen-age girl.(Lolita, anyone?).The fact that he stops himself from actually having sex with the girl confirms for the audience ....that he is a decent man. In real life however, I seriously doubt a 40ish man would've turned down the chance. The movie did'nt dare let his character cross that line....but then, the mans basic goodness had to be confirmed, did'nt it? All the more reason for his death to ring sad for us all.

Now, if Spaceys' character went beserk in his mid-life crisis, got fed-up with everyone in his neighborhood & went "Travi Bickle" style...THAT woulda been a movie!
