For the film itself, there are also many attractive points: the special historical era, the ordinary but representative family life, and the special living environment under the above two special conditions have become indelible in that era. One of the coordinates. Lovers, couples, couples, family members, all the unavoidable relationships among people, become distorted or even entangled under the catalysis of society, work, pressure, and responsibilities. The director once again used his delicate, realistic and somewhat warm expression technique to let the audience enter the atmosphere of reflection while enjoying the film. His "family revolution" or "life revolution" in this special era once again caused people to fall into silence or even "intoxicated", and a brand-new review version of "American Beauty" was born.
The term "Romanticism" can be used to describe emotional life as well as political movement, and it is also very appropriate. Because the relationship between the sexes and political life have a high degree of structural similarity: both begin with a certain ideal of life, will have an institutional "conventional state", and both contain the potential for revolution internally—— Either out of a struggle against misery and injustice, or out of a rebellion against mediocrity—an “unconventional state”moving towards subverting the system . The movie "Revolutionary Road"Roadcontains this double meaning. It is a story about married life, but at the same time it refers to politics meaningfully, which makes this work intriguing.
"Road to Revolution", a name that is prone to ambiguity, does make people who don't know the plot mistake it for a revolutionary epic about glory and dreams, guns and blood. However, the so-called "Road of Revolution" is just an ordinary suburban trail. Although the heroes and heroines were ultimately unsaved, the director used their quarrels and opinions to give the secular public a sobriety shot. How to re-recognize love, marriage, and life, and to pursue real needs, has become a problem that everyone who still has ideals needs to think about seriously. Although the "revolution" of life in the movie did not succeed, it provided the audience with the necessary courage and enlightenment.
