Sam Mendes and Alan Ball's American Beuty (1999) ---
”... because there is nothing worse in life than being ordinary…”
… claims Angela, one of American Beauty’s characters, which she couldn’t be more wrong about according to the theme of the film.
The ordinary contains a beauty that is extremely real, which a semi-psycho character in the film wants to express by filming everything from people’s (and his own) private life to flying plastic bags.
In the scene below he tries to express why he is doing all this videotaping for a girl (the daughter of the main character) he has fallen in love with – an ordinary girl that is dreaming about bigger bobbies.
