the opening scene in American beauty starts with a strong yet dull voice over of which the audience will discover as main character Lester Burnham. we are as the audience shown a very dull and boring situation by the flat tone of his voice as the camera zooms in with a birds eye establishing shot backing up the narrative told. the next important shot we see is described as the best part of Lester's day which is masturbation in the shower backing up the dull, boring and miserable life he lives in.
