520 $a This examination of <italic>American Beauty</italic> describes the relation of the primitive shamans to society, myth, and communication theorist Marshall McLuhan's idea that modern America has reverted to a tribalized culture due to the importance it places on film.
520 $a By associating McLuhan's ideas of society and myth, it becomes clear that the characters in film, or archetypes are not only cyclically-based, but are highly descriptive of their society.
520 $a The main character of <italic>American Beauty</italic> is plotted along Campbell's heroic journey, evaluated by Radin's heroic psyche, and described by his own moral decisions. Thus, the examination shows that through Lester, society sees itself, and how it makes decisions.
520 $a Lester is associated with Greek god Dionysus due to the similarities to cults in ancient Greece. This describes the energy that is innate in human nature, while explaining why film is important as a socializing and descriptive medium.
