so much beauty in the world

Last night, I was taking the bus crosstown on 125th in Harlem. I saw something that reminded me of a movie I really like. Here is the scene: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KE6h0NfdpkE

What I saw was 50 or so plastic bags and other pieces of garbage swirling and swirling around, beaten by both the wind and the movement and heat through vents from the 2 train below. Was it as beautiful as the scene from the movie--not in the least. It was pretty and interesting to watch, but at the same time I had a strong twinge of regret that this great city can get this dirty.

What was the name of the movie? American Beauty.
