    Much better than fiction. Reminds me of those two lines of Cavafy's poem: Since you're already here, wasting your life in this little corner / You've also destroyed it anywhere in the...

    As we all know, a harmonious world of the sexes is not easy to maintain. The greatest misfortune in married life is that one person has already embarked on the "Revolutionary Road" while the other is walking in the same place unconsciously. But what really constitutes tragedy is that when the latter is ready to make a change, the former chooses to stay where it is. Mendez's dramatic insight into the nature of the so-called midlife crisis proves that every happy family is happy in its own way,...

    Regardless of Yates's original book or this film, the tragedy that "Revolutionary Road" wants to explore is not why the marriage broke down, but what the 'life' that has always appeared in people's mouths has defeated the ideal. Marriages can end for a hundred reasons, but they are all an outlet for a deeper failure—the demise of ideals. There is always only one reason for the shattering of ideals, that is, when a person realizes that his ambitions are ignorant, he begins to become cowardly...

    Marriage is a reality. Reality is the grave. Are we not like April and Frank, who gave up our dreams in mediocrity, or did not have the courage to try even though we wanted to. Desperate after watching it. Jack and Rose ten years ago might end up like April and Frank. The gap between reality and dreams cannot be solved with courage...

    1. Your body is hollowed out by nothingness, fantasizing about leaving. Go back to a time when it was only a fantasy. Illusions have become all the hope of a boring and trivial life. Unfortunately, the needle of reality stabs the illusion, but it cannot pierce the hopeless nothingness! 2. To be honest, the power of words is far greater than that of images. Also because of the depth of the text, the images are almost...

    The road of dreams is taken by lunatics, and the road of reality is our direction. Go to your dreams~ We who ask our children to write "my dream" essays, do we want to drive them crazy or let them see the reality...

    A confrontation between ideals and reality, a challenge of reason and impulse. The world is so big that only one madman understands their dreams; the beautiful love finally fell in the mortal...

    Basically restored the novel. I also took a little photo of the miscarriage process omitted in the novel. That part was very simple, but it was very scary, and I felt pain in my stomach when I watched it. Give Mendes a thumbs up for this...

Revolutionary Road quotes

  • Frank Wheeler: Sweetheart, what are you talking about? Where are we going to live?

    April Wheeler: Paris!

    Frank Wheeler: What?

    April Wheeler: You always said it was the only place you'd ever been that you wanted to go back to. The only place that was worth living. So, why don't we go there?

    Frank Wheeler: You're serious?

    April Wheeler: Yes! What's stopping us?

    Frank Wheeler: What's stopping us? Well, I can think of a number of different things.

  • April Wheeler: When I first met you, there was nothing in the world you couldn't do or be.

    Frank Wheeler: When you first met me, I was a little wise guy with a big mouth.

    April Wheeler: You were not! How can you even say that?
