@kitycalifornia, I think it explores the idiocy & boredom of the 1950s suburbs.

While there are some universal themes in the story, it is set in a particular time and place, that had its own spirit. It was a very difficult moment in the history of the American family, partly because of the war and also how people were struggling to define what the suburbs were going to be. There was tremendous pressure to conform.

Things aren't nearly as bad now as they were then.

The cookie cutter houses and mundane careers are still alive and well. Sorry Eye, I don't see how things are better, aside for America being a bit more liberal socially. We have a lot to learn from our European Counterparts. Best.

As an 108 year old, you really ought to know what a HUGE difference "more liberal socially" makes.

But if you don't, just ask any black person over 60 whether things are better now. Or any woman who got pregnant out of wedlock back then. Or anyone victimized by domestic abuse or rape. Or any homosexual. Or anyone accused of being communist. Or any Hispanic who had wanted to be a manager in a bank. Or any Jewish person who attended college. Or even the regular people who lived in suburbia...

Well all in all I thought this was a really good movie but just a little to depressing tho especially the ending.

a perfect example of people not being grateful for what they have, life isn't perfect for anyone, but why for a second, can't we just be content with the good we have and stop being dissatisfied with everything, they were responsible for their own misery and created their own problems,

@midojaix87
Although I truly adore the novel, I would agree. Yes, living static and by all accounts mediocre life can leave you unsatisfied, but like you said. No one's life is perfect and all of us have to accept that on some level we will mostly be just ordinary. Is it fair to have to stifle the urgency of your greatest aspirations? No. It's not. But that's life. If I were them I would just try to save for a trip to Paris. It won't be like living there but at least I got to go.

I read Matt Damon was considered for Leo's role. Anybody think that would've diminished the quality of the movie?

This movie kind of freaked me out. It's just so awful that some people are so miserable with the way their lives turned out and this is what happens. I had chills when it ended it was so good and somewhat depressing. They're both amazing actors

Good movie, but if you've seen American Beauty you can skip this one. It's a slightly weaker repeat.
