A girl mentions “I need a father who’s a role model”. Her boyfriend asks “Want me to kill him for you?”. She replies “Yeah, would you”? This would be a shock to every father if they were to hear it from their daughters. These are lines from American Beauty (1999). At least once in their life, American people think about what “American Beauty” is. Some people would think of American Beauty as a typical gorgeous woman who is blonde, white, and has blue eyes. Some people would think of it through living in harmony with nature and would be satisfied with it. A definition of American beauty in the dictionary is a type of rose bearing large, long-stemmed, purplish-red flowers (The American Heritage Dictionary). American Beauty is a story about these three definitions and a male patriarch who doesn’t know one of them. American Beauty breaks the typical father figure who earns income for the home and then rules a family with his masculine authority. It shows the decreasing value of the father and how he is neglected by the family members. The movie expresses the change in a patriarchal system to fit into the modern times.
