Anyone who sees this movie will get to experience first hand how ignorant and misinformed people were about sex when Kinsey began studying human sexuality. Examples of this were the stated belief that performance of oral sex would reduce a woman’s

    buying the most fascinating things that his money can buy. Even though that may seem perfect‚ he suffered from insomnia‚ multiple person’s disorder (schizophrenia)‚ delusions‚ and paranoia. The movie starts out with a detailed history of his life as an adult. But surprisingly throughout the whole movie‚ he (Edward Norton) never once stated his name. He was the narrator telling his story. Then I tend to notice that he‚ “the narrator” mainly focused on self-talk and also dealing with his insomnia

     In American Beauty‚ 1999‚ directed by Sam Mendes‚ we are confronted with the permeating images that have consumed mainstream American life.
