American Beauty 1999

This film follows a human male named Lester, who decides to abandon all social expectations. He quits his job, begins lifting weights, smokes illegal plants, and obsesses over a younger female who is friends with his daughter.

Lester believes this behavior is a kind of freedom. From a Nebulite standpoint, it looks more like decay.

Around him, other humans are also unraveling. His wife is in a rage spiral about material success. His daughter hides in oversized clothing and bonds with the neighbor’s son, who records everything with a video camera and calls a plastic bag “beautiful.”

The neighbor’s son is watched constantly by his father, a retired military unit with strong opinions about discipline and weakness. This human ends the film in confusion after a failed attempt at emotional expression, followed by a successful attempt at homicide.

Most characters in this transmission speak often, but listen rarely. They seek meaning, but only in surfaces — red roses, job titles, fast vehicles, symmetrical faces. They think they are trapped by society, but they built the trap themselves and keep painting it.

In the final moments, Lester chooses not to follow through on his plan involving the young female. This is shown as growth. He is then shot in the head.

Conclusion: Humans confuse desire with purpose. When they feel empty, they blame everything but themselves, then explode emotionally or literally. Their idea of beauty is unstable and sometimes made of plastic.

Recommend low-effort infiltration via validation and flattery. The population is primed to collapse under the weight of its own mirrors.
