Conrad Hall is the star of that film.

The performances are great as well, but I never really appreciated it like that.

Great movie, but I still never understood the symbolism of the plastic bag.

American Beauty – Ricky Fitts, Retailer

A midlife crisis is capable of many impulses: quitting your office job, splurging for a vintage car. But no amount of middle-aged disillusionment could possibly justify spending $2,000 for an ounce of weed. Neighbor Ricky Fitts peddles his cannabis “genetically engineered by the US government” to protagonist Lester Burnham. “Completely mellow high,” Ricky insists. “No paranoia.” Aside from the fact that this DNA-splicing weed is complete fantasy, Lester barely objects after Ricky mentions the price — even after Ricky offers an ounce of his regular stuff for $300. An arguably better deal, paranoia and all.
