I found american beauty hopeful in that it's possible to get out of a bad situation in your life, albeit temporarily, and be the kind of person you want to be. I found it uplifting when Lester told off the people who were bringing him down, and found out what it was like to really LIVE. I could go on all day, but anyway...
Okay, that makes sense. You make really good points.
