Overall, the movie “American Beauty” is a great must-see movie for any MRA. It deals with and captures some of the struggles that men experience when they wake up, and find out that they’re a cog in a larger system.

No scene in the movie however captures this awakening, better than the scene you see above. This scene is of a man assuming power over his own life in his own home. It will resonate perfectly with millions of men who have long lived in quiet deference to the demands of their wives.
