• The main character of the film 'Lester Burnham' continues a theme of him being trapped throughout the film, we see him trapped behind behind bars as he is stood at the window and also when his reflection shows on the computer screen which suggests he is again trapped. Also when he is behind the screen in the shower, it is showing he is traped. He then sits in the back of the car when he gets a life to work, this shows he is at the bottom of the family hierachy.
• Colours also play a big part throughout the film, red, white and blue are constantley repeated to possibly represent the american flag. Neutral colours are also used when showing the bedroom, this could be to represent the dull and boring life they have. These boring colours are also used to make the brighter colours stand out more.
• A motif is also repeated throughout the film.
