Get your iPad a case from iPad cases uk as your iPad really is an essential ally that you do not want breaking! I used my iPad just the other day to find out a bit more about American Beauty, a wonderful film.

Many American films of 1999 instructed their audiences to pursue more meaningful lives such as Bringing Out the Dead, Magnolia and Fight Club. American Beauty fights against conformity though it does not negate the fact that some people do need and want it. The film’s message of non-conformity is directed to middle class audiences who often believe that ‘finding yourself’ is a luxury only afforded by the bourgeoisie.

The character of Ricky in the film is presented as a visionary. Ricky finds beauty in the smallest aspects of everyday life which he videos constantly in case he misses any of it. Ricky shows Jane what he believed to be the most beautiful thing he had ever filmed; a plastic bag which is tossing in the wind. He tells Jane that it was at precise moment when he filmed the bag that he realized there was “an entire life behind things” and that he feels that “sometimes there is so much beauty in the world I feel like I can’t take it...and my heart is going to cave in”.
