Lester Burnham:
-42 years old
-Unhappy with his life
-Likes his daughter
-Family is a cliche
-Lazy
-Bored
-He has given up
-Pessimistic
-Expressing regret
-Submissive
Very bland colours are used where Lester is shown. Neutral/boring colours- helps create an atmosphere- links to representation of Lester Burnham- he is boring.

How is Lester represented as being trapped? He is often shown 'behind bars', his image is reflected in the computer screen, looking out the window. In the shower-behind the screen. Trapped by his wife.

Music: Repetitive, awkward sounding, uncomfortable, music fits the visuals.
