Analyse the use of Performance/Mise-en-scène in American Beauty (Sam Mendes‚ 1999); how is meaning created in my chosen clip? American Beauty has been described as a “blood-chilling dark comedy” and a “beautifully executed drama”‚ both of which are appropriate. Through Kevin Spacey’s intelligent and realistic portrayal of Lester Burnham and Sam Mendes’ meticulously arranged image of Lester’s life‚ we can find humour and draw a bitter parallel between our lives and those of the characters.

Pushkin’s "in his book " The Queen of Spades" is full of confidence‚ self assumed‚ master of his act. In my personal opinion‚ the story has strong romantic overtones although one could argue in favor of the story tendencies of realism brought into the story by Pushkin.
