American Beauty opening sequence analysis.
In this opening sequence, it starts by showing an establishing shot of a small suburban town from a helicopter. it slowly zooms in on one house. it then cuts to a middle aged man laying in bed with his alarm ringing. he turns off the alarm and rolls over onto his back, sighs and lies still. it shows him stepping out of bed into his slippers. it then cuts to a shot of him "jerking off" in the shower.
After this it shows a rose and a lady cutting the rose. it introduces this as his wife and also introduces his gay neighbours Jim and Jim. his wife and neighbours start talking with each other. it then shows his teenage daughter. whilst he is walking to his car his briefcase falls open and everything in it falls out.
