Reading a scene in "American Beauty"


Character
There is a man in the foreground and the middle of the scene, which indicates that he is the main character of this movie. He is kneeling on the ground, picking up some pieces of paper from the suitcase in front of him.

Costume
This man is wearing a suit with a tie, which suggests that he is conventional and  in working class.

Facial expression
He is looking directly at the direction of the camera, no smiling, looking quite serious and scared, which means he is vigilant or nervous.

Background
In the background, we can see a typical middle class American house because of the white fence, manicured lawns in the garden and the big house with small trees and flowers.

Setting
It is in a garden in somewhere in America.
It is in the 1990s because of the grey suit the man wears and the house in the background.(It reminds me of the houses in "The truman show" and "Edward Scissorhands") I don't think it's the man's house, he is just visiting, for some work reasons.

Genre
This is probably an American drama or comedy.
