In the film, American Beauty directed by Sam Mendes, two sequences that were of significance were the opening and closing scenes. The opening scene is important as it foreshadows how the main characters will develop throughout the film. In the closing scene, the full development of characters is seen, and this development is highlighted through important events in the closing scene. ...
During the opening scene the main character Lester is introduced. ... Therefore Lester’s mid-life crisis is important as it shows the imperfections of American suburbia.
The closing scene shows the result of character development, as modern suburbia stresses are shown for what they really are. Carolyn has developed out of the ‘perfect American’ homemaker seen at the start; she is now no longer smiling. ...
Another point the closing scene highlights is that ‘real’ inner beauty in life can be achieved.
