The Battle of the Trapped Beasts--about little children

Marriage is a siege.
An unhappy marriage is a crumbling prison.
Little children are like this, revolutionary road is like this, so is american beauty. Whether kate winslet or kevin spacey, there is a kind of temperament in his body-the extremely dangerous and explosive tension contained in the silence. Kate winslet has a god-sent perfect face, which is breathtakingly beautiful. It's certainly sympathetic that such a beauty is in prison, so kate's role is quite convincing.
In little children's book club of several women discussing "Mrs. Bovary", a housewife relentlessly said that Emma betrayed her husband, Mr. Bovary, because she was born a slut. The other woman disagreed with her and turned to Sarah/ kate wislet who studies literature, and there was this:

No, no, no. It's not the cheating. It's the hunger - the hunger for an alternative and the refusal to accept a life of unhappiness.
Of course, Sarah, who studies literature and is about to graduate with a Ph.D., is still only in theory. In reality, she is without exception caught in an extramarital affair with her husband. When brad, who has been a dad for a long time, peeked at her highlight in the book, he quickly realized how much this woman was looking forward to a storm in her heart--my love is fever, it is reasonable, sarah could not keep it in the end The kind of pure friendship she longed for at first.
This kind of dissatisfaction with reality and resentment of suffocating life shows in the revolutionary road that the couple decided to go to Paris. The results are all the same, the expected change, or the change in marriage and life has failed - sarah decided to go home, brad thought of reporting to his wife after being injured; april ended his hopeless life in an abortion, leaving My husband continues to live on the revolutionary road full of irony.
Comparing these dramas with kate winslet, the acting skills are all unbeatable, but compared with American beauty a few years ago, it loses its freshness. So it is not unreasonable for Oscar to give the trophy to her reader in the end. More importantly, Oscar has always liked this kind of deformed feeling. Before watching little children, I didn't understand why Revolutionary Road didn't even have a nomination, It makes sense to think about it now.

Little Children quotes

  • Narrator: Sexual tension is an elusive thing, but Kathy had pretty good radar for it. It was like someone had turned a knob to the right, and the radio station clicked in so loud and clear it almost knocked her over. Once she became aware of the connection between them, it seemed impossible that she'd missed it before.

  • Brad Adamson: [talking about his wife] She makes documentaries.

    Sarah Pierce: Oh, like Michael Moore?

    Brad Adamson: Like PBS.
