| - American Beauty is a 1999 American drama film written by Alan Ball and directed by Sam Mendes—his directorial debut. The film is a satire of American middle class notions of beauty and personal satisfaction, focusing specifically on romantic and paternal love, sexuality, beauty, materialism, self-liberation, and redemption.
- Released in North America on September 17, 1999, American Beauty was positively received by critics and grossed over $356 million worldwide. Reviewers praised most aspects of the production, with particular emphasis on Mendes, Spacey, and Ball; criticism focused on the familiarity of the characters and setting. DreamWorks launched a major campaign to increase the film's chances of Academy Award success; at the 72nd Academy Awards the following year, the film won Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actor (for Spacey), Best Original Screenplay, and Best Cinematography. It was nominated for and won many other awards and honors, mainly for the direction, writing, and acting.
- American Beauty, film datato 1999, quindi abbastanza vecchio da poter essere considerato un cult, è una delicata introspezione nel mondo dell’uomo medio americano condita con frasi ad effetto come «Sì, mi facevo una sega, esatto! Mi lustravo il lucertolone, omaggiavo la mia terza gamba!». Robe che fanno riflettere. Gli attori hanno avuto autonomia sufficiente solo per la durata delle riprese, dopodiché sono tornati a far da sottobicchieri al regista pluri ignorato Sam Mendes, autore di Era... era... boh, chi cazzo era?, Euei ui go e La foresta dei pitali volanti.

- A dramedy that won the Best Picture Oscar for 2000. It was the break-out film for writer Alan Ball and director Sam Mendes, thus giving us, at a stroke: Six Feet Under, True Blood; Road to Perdition, Jarhead, Revolutionary Road and Away We Go. Chris Cooper also got his launch here, and there was great hype for a while about the younger actors, though unfortunately they haven't amounted to all that much since. Finally, Kevin Spacey won his second Oscar here. As to the plot, the opening narration tells it all:
- In "The Kiss Seen Around the World", as Peter is recording Stewie's first time riding a tricycle, he sees a paper bag fly by in the wind and records it, much like Ricky did in the movie, and even quotes the scene "There's so much beauty in the world in makes my heart burst...". God then comes on the screen, asking if Peter knows how complicated his circulatory system is, in an annoyed manner.
