It is the last day in America. Tomorrow we will fly back to China.
I am a little tired, a little happy, also a little sad.

Leaving Day
The other American REU students are leaving today. I feel a little sad and we will also leave soon. It is really a happy time to be with all the guys. Even though we have some difference in our living style, our opinions towards something due to the different cultural background. But I feel very happy to know them, talk with them and learn from them. We have had meals together, we have been to musuems together, and we have enjoyed the short time here together!

American Beauty
These days I have seen several American films which have won the best film of Oscar, like Shakespeare in love, the English patient, Kramer VS Kramer, and American Beauty. Among these films, I think this one--American Beauty has given the greatest impression on me.
I cannot say I have understood the film totally. It is really not an ordinary movie--strange music, abnormal story in a normal American family. I really wonder how it can win the Oscar Award. According to the other three films I have seen, I thought the Academy Award for best picture should be given to a film that at least can be understood by public, however, I think American Beauty is not such a film.
It is mainly about a story about an unhappy American family--a girl, father and mother. It seems to be a most ordinary family in American. They own a big house, the three would leave together by their own car in the morning and the parents would go to see their daughter's performance in school. However, this is also a family filled with quarrels. The couple do not love each other and they dream of different things even though they sleep in the same bed together. The daughter is bored with her parents because she thinks they do not care about her.
Everyone seems just to chase what he wants instead of caring about others. But finally one night things seem to become quite different. The mother who tried to kill her husband because of the mass and boring life she cannot suffer gives up for the reason that she notices she still needs this family and she still loves him. The father who wanted to make love with a best friend of his daughter also does nothing because he realizes his life is great and he also love this family. But the father has also been killed due to some misunderstanding and an accident.
I cannot say I love this film but it really makes me think a lot about life, family and love.
