We have become accustomed to our hopeless emptiness, something that suppresses our passion for life, and we also stubbornly believe that if we want to live, we must give up love, life and dreams. Such costs often make us feel justified, and we get used to continuing, and the cycle continues. When we saw the heroine APRIL in the film, we didn't expect much romance. Let's try to think about what she was thinking at all? Where did her slightly idealized idea of going to Paris come from? We clearly remember that when she looked at those old photos, she thought of her husband. From here, we can see that APRIL's affection for her husband is not because some netizens say that she is not satisfied with the status quo; yes The blandness of life is somewhat restless, and she proposes that going to Paris is not for her own self-interest, but hopes that her husband and her family can live another life without these self-consciousness. Frank forced himself to have a high enthusiasm for a sales job he didn't like. I think his life is too sad, a kind of desire to change the boring status quo of life, want to break through the boring main line of reality throughout the film.
Let's recall the director's wonderful realism in the film. During the final quarrel between Frank and April, April ran into the forest alone, and Frank chased after him. The shaking picture seems to have told us the ups and downs in April's heart. The state, and then in the twilight, behind April is a thick-colored mountain forest. The scene is very melancholy, and people can immediately know the inner thoughts of the heroine April. In the next scene, in the mottled moonlight, Frank drinks alone. Get up and look at April who is about to go home. If that scene is not enough to resonate in your heart, then the picture of April leaning against a big tree and lighting a cigarette must have touched your nerves that have been suppressed for a long time.
It only stems from our stubborn belief that everything will be fine, and a simple life where nothing needs to be changed will allow us to have coffee, bananas, and who can heal our spiritual desolation. At the end of the film, it is a contrasting paragraph that returns to the main topic. Frank under the dusk is in a confused state that is half-smile but not smiling. The tireless and nagging renter kept talking to the dull old man in the chair, and finally the old man turned off his hearing aids, and the whole world was quiet. Will this make you think that a person has lived for decades, but it always seems to have only lived for one day. In these decades of life, there is no insight, no emotion, or even feeling.
I don't think Revolutionary Road's message to us is an idea of being uneasy with the status quo, or of persuading us to live a normal life. What it conveys to us is a healthier and more uplifting relationship that enables us to understand ideals, life and life. We all have burdens, we all have pressure, we are all busy, we all have homes, we all have lives, but this is not an excuse for us to say that our lives should be bland, I just want to say that everyone should be used to change, to constantly To pursue one's own dreams, at least one must have such a consciousness in one's life. Don't live a life without self, we can't change society's thinking, then let's try to change ourselves. Bravely pursue our dreams and have hope in our hearts, and we can fight the hustle and bustle of the material world all day long. Just asking you to change, don't think so hard and unrealistic, we are all busy, this is not an excuse.
