^Yeah on that level I found a connection with American Psycho too (other than the name). They are both about emptiness and alienation. But, in tone, style and emotional resonance, they're nothing alike. I can see more connections between American Psycho and Fight Club than both of these films have with American Beauty.
I'm sure if I go far or deep enough I can find connections between every film, or everywhere. Hell, the whole 20th century art (and 21st apparently) talks about alienation of a modern man and losing of one's identity. It's the underlying theme (conscience or
not) that can be found not only in film, but in any art form. Should we compare American Beauty to those. I'm sure we can, but it's pointless, especially for a game like this.
I'm waiting a next battle to be: American Beauty vs Lost Highway
