Therefore, movies like "Road to Revolution" really cannot be touched easily, because there are some truths about life, like a fragile balloon that bursts when it is pierced so lightly, but the inside is actually empty. Just like the crazy mathematician in the movie said: Most people are in emptiness, but few people have the courage to see the truth.
Unfortunately, I still watched this movie. I watched the Golden Globe Award Ceremony later. When Winslet was at a loss because of "Road to Revolution", I was at a loss for what to do, but my heart was in the soundtrack of "Road to Revolution". It's so boring.
The guest who introduced "Road to Revolution" at the Golden Globes said that this is a movie about the marriage of middle-aged couples, and said that the director hopes that this film will allow all couples to re-examine their marriages. Obviously, this understanding is shallow. In the film, APRIL faces a life without passion day after day, and the desire to escape derived from it is not only suitable for middle-aged couples, but also for all people who live in mediocre life day after day.
What is the only way to escape? APRIL, who has no direction, finds hope in an old picture of her husband—going to Paris. Going to Paris to let my husband find his ideals, and working to support the family by myself, as if this is the most appropriate way to express love and gratitude. Going to Paris, it seems that the air is different. Every molecule has a sweet taste. As long as you are in it, you will no longer feel desperate. Such an unrealistic idea actually moved Frank. Yes, when you go to Paris, you can get rid of the moldy trajectory of wearing a suit and polite everyday, carrying a briefcase from home to the station, and then to the company cubicle; going to Paris, maybe you can really find what you want What is it?
For a while, I really hope that they will do it. Because it proves that life can always be willful once, even if the final result is not as expected, if you say it, it means you have tried.
But life is not like that. An unexpected child, an unexpected promotion. Is it safe or adventurous, swinging on Frank's inner balance, finally fantasizing about defeat. But APRIL, who tied all her hopes to the Paris dream, could not accept the fact that life would remain unchanged. She quarreled and indulged with her husband’s friends. She wanted to kill the baby in her belly... the
result? When she screamed at Frank out of control and rushed to the woods, saying that she didn't want to talk and she needed to think about it, I believe she still didn't get the answer until it got dark. She is like everyone who wants to escape from life at this moment, but she knows that this life must be changed, and if this continues, she will be suffocated, but how to change to make life really better? I believe not many people know.
In the end, APRIL just made a move that must be changed, killing the child in his stomach. As for what kind of change this action would point to in her life, she never had a chance to know again, because everything was beyond her control, and she lost her life.
The shot that impressed me the most in the whole film was not the quarrel and pain between the two protagonists. But at the end, the two couples talked about the Weilers. David, who is a good friend of the Weilers, told his wife outside the house, let’s stop talking about them, okay? The wife said yes, then the two of them kissed and hugged and went back to the house to face the new neighbor. If you don't talk about it, it's as if the truth has never been broken, and they can continue to cooperate to deceive themselves and continue to work hard to maintain a seemingly beautiful life.
But the house agent who once liked the Weilers so much changed their faces in an instant. The excellent Weilers, who were once young, have now become a little weird in her mouth. It was just that the chattering was silenced by her husband. They will continue to live together until they die of old age, and of course they will continue to say a lot, but those words will no longer be meaningful. It's just the beautiful tiles on the surface of hypocritical life.
When the picture disappeared and the subtitles began to appear, I quickly turned off the movie. Even the music can't be burdened, like a heavy drum beat on my heart. I told my friends that this movie is too desperate. He said: Fortunately, I didn't watch it. I'm going to eat Little Sheep tomorrow. For me, the truth of life is plates of lamb rolls. Why do you think so much?
Yeah, why do you think so much? I accidentally caught a glimpse of the truth, but I still want to continue living. So just for the lamb rolls, for the milk corn flakes for breakfast, for the spring after winter, even if you want to deceive yourself, just be happy.
