By skyforbes Has anyone here recently rewatched American Beauty? I just watched it again and it has me thinking about how the film’s portrayal of a broken, disconnected household in middle America feels even more relevant today. The tension, quiet resentment, and emotional distance shown in the movie seem to mirror what a lot of families are experiencing now. It’s almost unsettling how accurately it captures the feeling of people living together but not truly connecting. I’m curious whether others feel the same way about its depiction of modern American life. Does the movie still resonate with you in 2025 the way it did when it first came out?
