DH Lawrence said that if a lover can't follow him to experience this transformation of life, it is better to love a clay pot. But Mrs. Lawrence showed him again and again the joys and sorrows of life. Therefore, they truly "live" together, as thinking beings who dare to live for themselves regardless of worldly opinions.
The couple in "Revolutionary Road" just makes us see why some people are extraordinary and some people are ordinary. Everyone has an ego at the beginning, and some people are gradually assimilated, and live, age, die, and die according to the established set of society, while some people are eager to rush out of all this, play cards against common sense, and finally live out themselves. The latter is like DH Lawrence, the former is like the husband, and the wife died in the struggle, you know how difficult it is to maintain yourself.
Kate's wife is a special woman. Compared with her husband, she still maintains the original idea. She fell in love with her husband because he said - I am different from others, my dream is to feel the world. So he longed for Paris, the place where his dreams could come true.
I don't know if it's the dream of falling in love with her husband or falling in love with him, in short, when the marriage gradually wears down all this, Kate finds that her love for her husband is dying out little by little.
After a big quarrel with her husband, Kate figured out the only way to save the relationship was to make him who she fell in love with in the first place again - regardless of years of married life together to support the family To make a living, her husband has gradually turned into a person like his most despised father, a salesman of a computer company, but a screw in a commercial society, without personality and self-he impresses her when she shows them that they are in a relationship In that sentence, when I went to Paris, I even thought of making money myself and letting my husband realize this dream.
All of this is to save her marriage, which is the dying struggle of a housewife who wants to break through the dullness of a given marriage and find a way out for their love after the seven-year itch.
A lot of things, when we are doing it, we forget the way we came, and why we are so, doing things becomes a habit, and the purpose seems to be irrelevant. This is also the truth that the screwdriver in "Modern Times" reminds us of the truth that we are like a machine day after day, without ego, without thought, which is essentially no different from a screw in our hand.
A rigid marriage, if not reinvigorated, it will only end in a dead end, Kate, this special woman, rarely assimilated, and considered a bit strange by the neighbors, can have a talk with the neighbor's psychotic son-- —Western point of view, mentally ill people are often people who have not been alienated by this society. The woman gradually realized that marriage was gradually dying, so she started a revolution, she wanted to break it, wake it up, especially her husband Sleeping selves in the hope of resurrecting their marriages and resurrecting themselves.
So when her husband agreed to quit his job and go to Paris, she was so excited. And when her husband decided to stay because of the unexpected position and high salary, especially because of Kate's sudden pregnancy, she was so disappointed, her efforts eventually came to nothing, and her lover had gradually become another person , she could never get it back, so she was heartbroken, aborted the fetus, but unexpectedly died of hemorrhage.
Is personal struggle ultimately powerless? Kate's death can only be saddened. She is a person who wants to become a butterfly, to transform constantly, and to realize the renewal and vitality of life, but her husband gradually expects nothing more than a big house and a better life. dream man. Husband said, stay, we can also live a good life. Kate looked at him coldly. She understands that her marriage started with a mistake. She misunderstood that he was the kind of person she wanted to discover and experience the world together. And he just wanted to live a "good life" in a social standard. Her "feeling" is a kind of "spirit", while his "feeling" is more focused on "material". After the misunderstanding is clarified, the marriage will inevitably collapse.
Kate was too vulgar and beyond her time, a story of the 1950s, followed by the passionate 1960s, when the whole world greeted the revolution feverishly, whether in China or Paris - the husband who once Where dreams are truly worth living, at that time, a revolution was breaking out, whether in a socialist country or a capitalist country, a revolutionary flame was burning all over the world, no matter what, it was always youthful , even if the burning becomes ashes, it is reborn from ashes. Kate is the undercurrent of the undercurrent that preceded the eruption, and she foreshadowed it all.
But now, the capitalist way of life has gradually brought everything into its orbit. We consume everything, no matter material or thought, capitalism has made everything perfect and can be used for consumption. We are taught by newspapers and magazines to be good.” life", where there are countless ways of "the good life" available to us. We never get that passion back, and that's what makes Kate so moving, she wants revolution - alienated, breathless people who want to break out of this cage. We have long forgotten the road we came from, and it used to be a revolutionary road. And without the road of revolution, is it doomed to be a dead end?
The alienation of human nature by society, this film is an excellent allegory, fortresses are often breached from the inside, this film is no exception to tell us that even a young man like the husband is full of ambition, in the end Also had to compromise with life, once stood up and finally fell, once wanted to raise a gun and finally surrendered, this is even more sad, this film is destined to be a tragedy, but it is very real, maybe it is about Tragedy for you and me - we just passed the time and ended up doing nothing.
