Proposition: In the scene in American Beauty in which the plastic bag is featured, we are supposed to largely agree with the boy about the beauty of the plastic bag, or at least sympathize insofar as we feel him to have a certain depth.
"we are meant" can be either cashed out in terms of authorial intent or any other theoretical apparatus you find appropriate.
Thoughts?
