Also, while yes it's an overrated (though still a very good) movie, American Beauty is thoroughly red pill.
I detested American Beauty. It's a celebration of the new American ideal: a state of perpetual adolescence; fuck everything, do what you want.
It's also a portrayal of how the average depraved Hollywoodite sees normal suburban people with families, jobs and responsibilities: superficial happiness, raging frustration under the surface, eking out the days in quiet desperation. This is how liberals imagine flyover country.
