When FRANK watched APRIL and a pair of children prepare a birthday cake filled with candles for him, when FRANK listened to them singing the birthday song for him with their happy voices..., FRANK's tears filled his eyes...
and the boiling point was very low I, too, burst into tears when "Revolutionary Road" just opened. Of course, not for this warm family atmosphere, but for the fact that I know that Frank, who seems to have come home exhausted after a long day of work, has just got up from another woman's bed, and even, that is a A woman he doesn't like very much.
Men like Frank, who seem to be ordinary, are one of the most mainstream and popular in society: they have good careers and can be called good young or middle-aged; they have a sense of responsibility and walk into the besieged city at a young age, so that they are more individual than single men. They are more peaceful and tolerant; they are good-looking, they are not particularly downcast, nor are they particularly successful, they will not be wretched because of disappointment in life, and they will not be full of fat because they are too proud... Such men, such as NJ in "Yiyi", Lester in "American Beauty", and even Mr. Yi in "Lust and Caution"... but they are deeply liked by film directors, and their stories have a long history and endless aftertastes.
And women like APRIL, beautiful, smart, and emotional, of course, must be unhappy, because in every story, there must be an unhappy woman.
When FRANK and APRIL met, they were talented and beautiful, and sparks were everywhere. They quickly took Qin Jin and lived in a white house on the road of revolution. If life is just like the first time..., then this is undoubtedly HAPPY ENDING. Of course, such a pair of beautiful people, after the test of life, will also have disputes and troubles. She is tired of reality, and he has a crisis in middle age.
So they gave themselves a dream: to leave everything behind and go to Paris. Mrs. Roman once said: Revolution, how many crimes are committed in your name. And now, some people may say: Paris, how many boring people are reborn by YY you.
Of course, Paris is just a symbol. Those 15th-century buildings and the stories of countless artists endow Paris with a passion, romance, and high-spirited nature.
Of course they didn't make the trip, apparently because of an unexpected child, but in reality, their dreams of living elsewhere were shattered. How could life be anywhere else? Without it, there is no life.
Of course I like a man like Frank, his suit will never be buttoned up, and his sometimes lonely expression is like a child... because I have loved such a man; of course I will be tired of a woman like APRIL, She thinks she is different, she is full of blind dreams and will never be satisfied with the status quo... because she has too much of my inferiority.
Of course I understand her unhappiness as well as mine. So what? I realized a long time ago that I always thought that what I wanted was HAPPY ENDING, I always thought that what I wanted was happiness... But in fact, the pain of unhappiness is the feeling of being alive. Life is too light to bear, so I have to rest in the pain of self-torture and my unhappiness, and no longer try to find so-called happiness.
FRANK and APRIL still moved me, because they were both thinking and trying hard to find the legendary happiness. Whether found or not, this belief is real, so moving; happiness may be destroyed, it will collapse, SO WHAT, nothing lasts forever.
No matter what the ending is, at the very beginning, when the handsome FRANK saw the beautiful APRIL in the crowd, when the smiling APRIL and FRANK danced slowly to the music..., they believed that their happiness was will not be destroyed.
