The movie "Revolutionary Road" can be said to be the most desperate of all marriage works.
Ordinary film and television dramas will leave the audience with fantasies and hopes, and this one blocks all the exits, leaving only endless sadness and nothingness.
Frank is the male protagonist of the film, he is full of spirit and handsomeness when he is young, talking about his dreams and future, and has the most charming charm of men.
The heroine Ep does not hesitate to fall in love with her, in her eyes, Frank is the most special male.
At that time, Ep, like Frank, graduated from drama school, dreamed of being an actor, and felt that he had unlimited possibilities in the future. Unlike many mediocre people, Frank and Ep seem so vibrant.
Similar souls are always attracted to each other, so they fall in love, get married, and have children.
Over the years, the dreams of my youth have long been worn away by life, leaving only the trivial skin of ordinary life.
Frank worked as an ordinary clerk in a company, his most hated job, day after day, with fake smiles. However, he had no right to say no, because the family had wives and children to support.
And Aipu did not realize the dream of an actor, accidental pregnancy, the family moved to the suburbs to live, it seems to live in a big house, live a middle-class life, in fact, these are not the lives that Aipu wants.
The girl who was once full of spirits has now become a housewife, washing endless dishes, doing endless housework, day after day, spending time in family chores, and then waiting for her husband to come home.
Before getting married, she fantasized about living a delicate and comfortable life with Frank, and after getting married, she found that all fantasies were utopian, and in the face of huge reality, she could not resist.
Such a life makes Ep feel depressed and desperate, and she needs an outlet too much.
After The big argument between Ep and her husband, the next day looked at the back of her husband who went to work alone, she regretted it a little, looked at the old photos, and saw that Frank had told her about Paris, where there was a different life.
So Ep came up with a bold idea and the family moved to Paris. On that day, it was Frank's 30th birthday, and Ep was dressed up beautifully, pulling the two children along to celebrate his birthday together, and telling Frank about the idea, and after several persuasions, Frank agreed.
With the Paris Plan, the relationship between the husband and wife suddenly eased, as if this plan was a hope for their marriage, as long as everything was implemented and everything became better.
Ep and Frank proudly talked to everyone about the plan with their heads held high, but the people who heard it were ostensibly blessing them, but inside there was jealousy and more secret ridicule.
Because giving up everything in the present and starting over in a place where life is unfamiliar is not a wise decision for adults.
One day, the landlady's son came to their house and learned of the Paris plan, and he spoke frank's deepest voice: You are escaping.
Frank frowned, could going to Paris change his life in a pool of stagnant water?
The Paris plan was still broken, one was that after Frank submitted his resignation report, the leader instead extended an olive branch to give him a promotion and salary increase, and the other was that Ep was pregnant.
Ep was very devastated when she learned that she was pregnant, she had already given birth to two children, life was disturbed by children, and another child, how could she cope.
So she proposed that abortion, as long as it did not exceed 12 weeks, was not dangerous.
At this time, the husband and wife once again had a fierce quarrel. Frank also speaks his mind, believing that Ep is living in his fantasy that she should see a psychiatrist.
The Paris plan could not be completed, and the only hope for Epple was shattered. She was already desperate, even more desperate.
Frank accepts the new position and becomes spirited again, while Ep falls into the abyss, holding an abortion collar to herself, and the blood stains the carpet red.
In the hospital, Frank regrets bitterly, but in the end he fails to save Ep's life. I don't know if in the end, Frank can understand the reason why Ep went to the end of the road.
Ep and Frank's marriage is praised by outsiders, male and female, middle class, decent. But for Ep, marriage is a shackle, locking her dream of being an actor and locking up the infinite possibilities of her life.
Because of pregnancy, the family had to change to a big house, and in order to prove that the first birth was not wrong, a second child was born. To raise children, to live in a big house, you need a lot of money, and to make money you have to endure a life you don't like.
Frank and Ep's quarrel is that the husband and wife do not understand each other, but also each other's dissatisfaction with the current situation of life. Those unfulfilled dreams, those mediocre days, the lives that can be seen through at a glance, are desperate.
The biggest failure of marriage is not divorce, but forcing women to a dead end. Why is Ep's life not the fate of most women? When I was young, I was full of enthusiasm, I had endless dreams, and I also had expectations for love and marriage.
Wait until you are really married, only to find out that this is not the same thing.
Men can continue to struggle in their careers, but they must sacrifice their dreams for their children and become a housewife, and others say that you are very easy to raise a husband, but no one knows that you do not want to exchange freedom for such stability.
Not only that, but you can't go out and make money, and your partner will condescendingly accuse you: "Have you ever made a penny for this family?" "You have no words, you can only cry, you can only bear it.
But everyone has to have an outlet, and in day-to-day family life, you don't even have the right to cry.
I once heard people say that no matter who you marry, you will regret it. Perhaps marriage is a betrayal of human nature, which suppresses your nature, binds your freedom, and makes you lose yourself in a mediocre life.
Epp's Paris dream, the only outlet she could save herself, was only in this absurd world where everyone became utilitarian and realistic, and her dream was considered nonsense.
Aipu's desperate road is a rebellion against marriage, but also a rebellion against the world. "Revolutionary Road" is not only about the marriage that took place on the Revolutionary Road, but also a metaphor for marriage as a revolution, and no one can retreat completely.
Sophie Marceau said: "The saddest thing about a woman is not old age, but the loss of self in marriage and ordinary life. Women can age, but they must be graceful to death, and marriage cannot be allowed to wear women out of luster. ”
But how many women can be graceful to death? In the life of chai rice oil and salt and pots and pans, there is no understanding, no love, this is the most desperate place of marriage.
