The road to revolution is a long way to go

"Revolutionary Road", I finally read the second half yesterday while taking advantage of my spare time. To be honest, I have to calm down before I can watch this movie. It’s a pity that I haven’t been able to calm down lately. Quarrel between abnormal people.

The only impression left after watching it is the repeated rivalry between Winslet and Leonardo. The acting skills of the two are really strong, and Winslet's Golden Globe Award for Best Actress should be unbearable. It is a little regrettable that Leonardo's appearance is a little unsuitable for the role, so that when I see him grinning, frowning, winking, and angering his crown, he always feels that he is not a man who has passed away, but an older young man who gave birth to a son early. But he didn't hide his acting skills in the slightest.

Another point is the choice between real life and ideal life. Frankly speaking, this young couple is in the midst of happiness and does not know happiness, and they want gold when they have money. I appreciate their thinking, not limited by the world and the passing years, still longing for passion and the idea of ​​a fresh life. But in that era, and even in today's society, there were still not many people who could give up everything to elope. Ideal and reality, we are back to a multiple-choice question - it seems that it will never become a multiple-choice single-choice question.

    Words are only useful if they are spoken to someone who is willing to listen and understand you

    We refuse to "live elsewhere," and we refuse to "live here." We refuse to fail, and we refuse to try; we refuse to give up, and we refuse to take responsibility; we refuse to talk, and we refuse to face; also reject yourself. We have lives, we have jobs, we have love, we have a "destination", but on a sunny afternoon, we suddenly can't remember the meaning of these things. Right at this moment, you asked me why I didn't speak, and I looked at you and didn't know how to respond.
