I love how both girls are very different, but still friends, and Angela is not a typical queen bee, and Jane is a cheerleader too even tho she looks edgy and all
@@eapolosports1953 I was 13 in 99’, it was a really cool time, all these movies coming out. It felt like, “yeah, these are movies, they’re all supposed to be this good, all the time.😁”
arikalamari this isn’t divorced from reality you fool. It was 1999. This movie was a brilliant depiction of middle class suburban life at the turn of the millennium. You’re a jaded fucking fool
the conversation between the two girls is a reflection of what is happening in our society. What some young people value most are the very superficial things easy to get, dreaming of becoming famous but in reality hiding a very low self-esteem like Mina Suvari role. She is not actually like she claimed to be, but she play the girl that knows her way around just to impressed her friends
"American beauty clip", excellent title, gets right to the point, is accurate and doesn't give anything away! Every clip should be titled this way, that way you'd never know what you'd be getting into, only issue would be you'd never be able to find what you were looking for.
His mother seems really dead, too. She is a very unhappy woman. The scene where he brings Jane over, and she says "please excuse how things look around here" -- I don't think she meant messy. I think she meant the whole depressing atmosphere of the place.
That guys mom makes my heart hurt The scene where his dad beats him n tells him to get out and never come back N he goes downstairs n his mom is standing there clutching a plate shaking N he says he's sorry n goodbye Makes me cry every time
It's scarily accurate to boot. As a person who grew up in the ultra-conservative militaristic region of America, a lot of the mothers/wives look...empty.
between her + kevin spacey if everyone is a minimum of 18 years of age then 100% allow the romance to happen seriously period no questions asked at all + so on
DVD commentary: all four of the girls were supposed to be smoking together but the short blond actress was religious and would not pick up a cigarette - did not want to recast her so they changed the scene.
You miss it. Cause you don't have as much freedom and happiness as these young kids. You could lie to yourself and talk about how mature you are. But deep down, everybody miss their youth. Nostalgia is a sweet drug.
@@nntflow7058 > But deep down, everybody miss their youth. Eh. I have less energy and more money now. Less blissfully ignorant optimism (for good and bad) and more perspective on life (for good and bad). No more school yard bullies but instead deadlines, performance reviews and real responsibilities.

Thora Birch is simply the most beautiful girl in the world ever. She is even extremely most gorgeous and godlike than Angelina Jolie, Elizabeth Taylor, Jennifer Connelly and Carla Gravina togheter at the same time. Thora is also the perfect choice to play the stunning Doctor Betty Ross who always was the most beautiful female character ever in the entire Marvel Universe in a new Hulk film aswell.❤
The classic brunette beauty of lovely blue eyes of Thora Birch is a heavenly perfect mix of Elizabeth Taylor and Mona Lisa with Angelina Jolie and Margot Kidder at the same time. Mena Suvari is a perfect and extremely exotic mediterranean/american blonde mix of Michael DeLuise with Carla Gravina and Wes Brentley is a most handsome and charismatic dark-haired and blue-eyed version of Jake Gyllenhaal aswell.🤩😍😘❤️🔥
The classic brunette beauty of Thora Birch who is of italian and swedish heritage and who is a perfect mix of Elizabeth Taylor with Mona Lisa is completely different of the exotic blonde beauty of Mena Suvari who is of greek and egyptian origin and who is a perfect mix of Michael DeLuise with Carla Gravina aswell.❤
I always thought the blond was super hot, well she still is kinda, but the other girl seems more appealing now when I am older, she seems way more reasonable and she is cute too, not hot but cute.
one of those grandma's is 80 1/2 year old actress melinda dillon and the 72 1/2 year old grandma is her non biological twin who my family and I have been friends with since 1994 and wow I'm so glad i met her seriously
Mena Suvari is an younger female version of Michael DeLuise, but Mena is more beautiful and attractive then the own Michael DeLuise. Mena is of greek and egyptian heritage as Demis Roussos and Rami Malek togheter.
@@MonTube2006 no they are not. These are the premises of their future behaviour. I met few chaps I knew while I was at school , well they didn’t change they still are the same losers 😏
The girl who gets angry at Angela/Mena looks like a female version of Jay from The Inbetweeners. Except ironically she's listening to another teenager telling absolute lies to impress people.
Saw this movie when I was 15 for the first time cause my dad wanted me to watch it. Now I’m 21 I might try it again and see if I can fully understand it

It was a weirdly common thing in the late 90s/early 00s. Same thing in Ghost World, Juno, etc.

Hey, it's still relevant
Don't let time get ya down!
Right???? i don't know where 20 years went.
22 now, but who's counting?
Ricky is pretty well adjusted considering how his parents behave. This is such a great movie.
The two girls at the beginning don't really look like school girls. They look so much older than Angela and Jane.
Yea they look like uni students at least. Also they look very unattractive, its mean to point out that fact but hey they behaved like garbage
The one on the right looks like Jay from the Inbetweeners
Lollyta1298 they look like school girls from the SIXTIES!
@@PM-vb4od I'm not the only one haha
The blond one who is not Jane was Casey in "Major Dad."
this dialogue is exactly like 40 year old writers imagine 16 years olds to be
lol interesting analysis. Keep in mind this was the end of the 1990's. It was a different time.
You wanna have like 10,000 of his babies. A phase I use once every hour with my peers
Not at all, even if this isn't 100% real, is a thousand times better than the crap they are selling us on riverdale
Most 16 year olds do talk like that. I'm sure some of the writers have teenage children so, yeah, they hear their conversations, and...
As a 40 year old who grew up in the 90's this is how 16 year olds talked
Mena is a great actress in this scene imo. Perfect.
Yeah, I have a crush on her.
"I don't need some psycho obsessing about me"
"I'm not obsessing"
When someone cares about denying the obsessing part more than the psycho part, run!
Human 101 did you reply to the wrong comment? I don't get the relevance to what I said.
LOL! Good catch!
If he looks like that it won’t matter 😍
Not really, "psycho" has just become kind of a slur and generic insult, people call other people "psycho" all the time for nothing
"And then one day" "He was just like gone" 1:06🤣🤣 She crack's me up! I Love Angela! She's so 90s!

First thing I noticed 😂
that's exactly what I thought! she is one ugly bitch lol

did you ever closely examine the ancient Greco-Roman aesthetic? they have prominent noses, big chins and tiny mouths. not pleasant at all.
I never realized how exaggerated and divorced from reality the normal interactions were.
😂 why do the other girls look like from another time line?

Yep most women are like that
The 2 girls would talk about how many babies they would want to have when they reach 16 years of age in 1880.

Thora Birch was the best of the film.
I thought of her as the most normal character of the movie.
The best thing about this whole scene is :39 - her face after she says "God damn Christy Turlington." BEST SCENE in a movie full of amazing moments.
they are great in this movie
they're amazing actresses
Mena Suvari and Wes Bentley aro so nice, but Thora Birch is just Drop Dead Gorgeous, she is a real goddess in all senses.🤩😍😘🥰❤
You're absolutely correct, she's incredibly beautiful.
Mean Girls Regina George totally took a huge part of that convo

Jealous that Angela and Jane look like actual teenagers. ☕️🙅🏾♀️
christy capers Thora Birch(Jane) was actually a teenager when she filmed this
Cuz they were. Angela was 18 & Jane was 16.
Yeah the other two remind me of the ladies playing middle schoolers in Hulu's "PEN 15".
the first part of this scene makes my laugh!!
Both of Ricky's parents would go on to win Oscars (Chris Cooper in 2002 for Adaptation. & Allison Janney in 2017 for I, Tonya)
This film reminds me of the Columbine massacre. I first saw this not long after the shooting and it was my first look at American schools
