Janie tries to steer clear of both her parents. Carolyn, relatively new to the real estate business, wants to create the persona of success to further her career, she aspiring to the professional life of Buddy Kane, the king of the real estate business in their neighborhood. Lester merely walks mindlessly through life, including at his job in advertising.
His company is downsizing, and he, like all the other employees, has to justify his position to the newly hired efficiency expert to keep his job. Things change for Lester when he falls in love at first sight with Janie's more experienced classmate, Angela Hays. Both Janie and Angela can see Lester's sexual infatuation with Angela, who courts such attention from any man as a sign that she is model material, she having once appeared in Seventeen and it a career to which she aspires.
Lester's infatuation with Angela gives him a reenergized view on life, where he openly doesn't care anymore what anyone thinks about what he does, anyone except Angela. This infatuation coincides with the Fittses moving in next door: homophobic disciplinarian US Marine Colonel Frank Fitts who rules the house with a military fist that fist being both figurative and literal , his semi-comatose wife Barbara Fitts, and their bright and quietly subversive eighteen year old son Ricky Fitts, who openly abides by his father's rules while behind the scenes lives by his own quite different perspective.
Much like Lester's infatuation, Ricky immediately becomes infatuated with Janie, he who considers girls like Angela as ordinary. The entry of Angela and the Fittses into the Burnhams' lives ultimately leads to each of the players confronting what is truly in his or her heart. Rated R for strong sexuality, language, violence and drug content. Did you know Edit. Trivia Director Sam Mendes designed the two girls' look to change over the course of the film, with Thora Birch gradually using less makeup and Mena Suvari gradually using more, to emphasize his view of their shifting perceptions of themselves.
Goofs In the dinner scene where Lester throws the bowl of asparagus against the wall the picture frame has been centered between the windows over the console table, and the table lamp visible in an earlier scene has been removed. These changes are not down to continuity as such. The script originally prompted for Lester to throw the plate on the floor, however it was decided that he throw it against the wall instead without the knowledge of Annette Bening or Thora Birch.
It had to be done in one take which it was to get a real shock reaction. The lamp was removed to avoid any debris knocking it over, and the picture was repositioned in-line with Lester's aim for a clean throw and to minimize any risk of Kevin Spacey knocking the picture off the wall spoiling the 'one-take shot'.
Quotes [last lines] Lester Burnham : [narrating] I had always heard your entire life flashes in front of your eyes the second before you die. Crazy credits thanks to all at the Donmar Warehouse in London and Dr. Bill and Alice. User reviews 2. Top review. Far and away the best film of the year. What can I say, except that this film really knocked me on my keaster. I went in to the theater not knowing what to expect, but was pretty sure it would be worth the ticket price.
Boy was I happy when I left. Not only was it worth the ticket, I paid to see this film two more times. This film is virtually perfect. The acting is superb, the story is magnificent, the narrative is brilliant, and the structure of the film is truly groundbreaking absolutely loved the last 20 minutes.
What really surprised me about this film was how well the cinematography was done. In a small, character driven film such as this, it is very unusual to have such great cinematography. With this film, there is something interesting going on in every scene, not many films you can say that about. Brigitte : Just make sure you notice the collateral beauty.

The other hunters tumbled backward as the laughing MacArthur regained his feet, hugging Tonto close to his chest. MacArthur, sucking on thickweed, waved at Tonto and Bottlenose, signaling them to come no closer. This time it was Tonto who spoke, throwing Daniel a white-toothed grin, as if something funny were going on.
Her voice was so gentle that Daniel suspected his wound might be a bit more serious than she and Tonto had been telling him it was. A few minutes later they were on their way, with Lisa and Tonto riding in the ambulance with him and Nancy. She was interrupted by the hospital crash cart being pushed into the room, with Tonto leading the way. Free-Look Jones went and stabbed him in the neck just because Tonto caught him cheating at cards. Doan had left appended to Tonto Charlie, and for all he knew it might really be the same one.
