American Beauty Clip
Outside topics 1
During class we watch a clip form one of my favorite movies “American Beauty.” We watched the scene where Ricky shows Jane the recording he named “art”. The recording shows a plastic bag blowing around by the wind. At first, it does not seem like anything special. It is clear through the emotion on Ricky’s face that there is more than just a floating bag. Ricky gives life to the bag by stating, "It danced for me for over a half-hour". You can see when it finally cliques on Jane’s face and she understands the beauty and peace the recording displays. This demonstrates how if a person looks closely enough there is beauty in everything. Ricky goes on to say “Sometimes there’s so much beauty in the world, I feel like I can’t take it.” This reminded me of a similar quote from Ferris Bueller's day off "the world is a pretty cool place, if you don't stop and look around once in a while, you might miss it" so stop, look at the beautiful things around us, they are everywhere!” Both quotes show how, if you take a second to look around, you will see things you might miss on an ordinary day.
