Question:

American Beauty - Plastic bag symbolism?

What is your interpretation of the plastic bag flying in the wind in this movie, aka - quot;The most beautiful thing I've ever filmed...quot;

Answer:

The plastic bag blows in the wind without interference. It is nature. Lester is doing what feels good and natural. Everybody else is holding back/hiding something about themselves. They are not who they should be naturally. It is beautiful to see that the plastic bag is doing exactly what it should. Everyone else is something ugly due to the way they hide from themselves. That is my interpretation.
