The concept of the American lifestyle in the United States is totally different from other countries, since key points are reflected here that give a unique concept of how life is in this country. So, we must be clear that this way of living is not except for ups and downs, as reflected in the film. We will begin to describe that people are not dependent on their partners, much less their parents' children, only until they reach a certain age, and if they are still studying, they look for work to fill their free time, so that they can earn money and cover their own expenses. In their free time they do activities that fill the gap of boredom and among this is reading, mowing the lawn, recording, chatting and watering their garden, an activity that is quite common in American mothers. It is a custom among the family to have dinner together, at a certain time, and to chat during the dinner, exposing their good day at school and at work, except for their problems during their attendance, they present different dishes that enrich the dining room and have in the background a music that can be participated in the dinner and the members of the house. Among the favorite drinks during meals, they choose wine for dinner, natural juices for breakfast and a beer to accompany their snacks or to have a good time. They are persevering people and the moment they feel they cannot continue to fight with that same obstacle, they immediately form an escape plan, and by this I mean the fact that they are looking for another way to reach their goal. But, just as it has its advantages, we also find the opposite of this and here is the reason why the American lifestyle is not above other countries with different lifestyles. It is very common to find here, family dysfunction because most parents assume their role only until a certain age, leaving the children to grow and learn on their own and then this, when they are teenagers they are seriously affected by the lack of teaching and affection they stopped receiving long ago, and here lies the bad communication between parent and child, the wrong way of giving and receiving love and with it, other derivatives. The lack of self-esteem, which is a AMERICAN BEAUTY ESTILO DE VIDA AMERICANO
consequence of the lack of security it does not provide them, is also a relevant issue, as the film shows, young people and adults do not feel satisfied with what they are, nor with what they have. They show "a face of success, to achieve success" showing that there is no room for fatigue, or any other problem that prevents you from achieving that success. It also reflected the actions that young people do, when they are "overwhelmed" by their parents, committing acts that are harmful, not understanding that only their parents want to guide them. But it was also noted that there are parents who do not accept as their children really are and only because they want to give everything for them and correct the mistakes they make, they end up aggravating the situation and condemning themselves in their own judgment. To conclude, I consider the film to be a teaching of life and one more example to keep in mind. We have to see beyond simplicity, we have to understand the idea it wants to give us and not stay with what we can only see superficially. Understand that the concept of the American way of life encompasses many clear ideas that define it and that it includes many aspects that enrich it, but that it should still improve the fact that we do not grow to be superficial people, but to feel conformed and satisfied with what we achieve little by little.
