'Revolutionary Road' - the Hopeless Emptiness

After seeing once of the preview, I'm sure I will like to movie.

All those questions popped out on the screen, it's the questions I like to know the answers.

Yesterday, we took cab to Plaza galarias for the movie. (and Carl's Jr. whose burger I can only finish half) When the screen turns dark, I was hoping it won't be the ending. In the end, I still haven't found the answers.

I feel part of me is like Frank, but part of me is like April.

When they first met, Frank is the one's been travelling to Paris (maybe other countries also) but he doesn't know what he is really interested in for living in the future. The opppsite, April knows exactly what she wants to do, an actress but never been to anywhere else. They fell in love and she is pregnant. Then they move in to a beautiful house in a small town surrounding by grass, trees and small town people.

Life didn't go exacty like they planned or wanted. Frank is having a job that he didn't want to have for 7 years. Driving to the train statio

n, waiting for the train, wearing the same suites & hat with everyone else, then getting off the train, walking to his office building, finally arrives his little office desk. Dressing like everyone else. Getting scold by the boss for absolute nothing. Doing boring, useless talking with the workmates. All of this is just to make living for his family but that doesn't make him feel happy.

April soon became two kids' mother and an excellent housewife. She makes breakfast, do laundry, clean the house, wash the dishes, water the plants, make dinner, wash dishes like every other housewives around. She does all of this just for her family, but that doesn't make her happy. She once thinks he

rself is special but now she is living like everyone else.

Finally, one day she put herself together to make a big decision by changing their lifes. Maybe an unrealistic one but she makes her move to prove she is different.

'What's stopping us?' she asked.

Then she dressed up and gave a surprise birthday party to her husband.
Day1, they are actually happy. Because she has a plan. She makes a difference for the family but that is not enough for her.
Frank cried because he is happy to see his family happy again. He accepted the unrealistic sounding plan and suddenly became so happy everyday.

They feel alive once again. ....................................Until Frank got stuck again.

When you are younger, you can be a dreamer. You have no fear, you dare to dream and think of one day you'll make a difference. Everybody does but few gets those dreams come true.
What it takes is courage and sacrifice.

Frank lives in the life is given.
April lives in the life is planned.

None of them are wrong.

Maybe there isn't always answer in our life, just like the movie.
There's ending, but not necessary an answer.

But I know when I have choices, I shall have the courage to choose the best one.

Maybe it's not as I planned but it'll be the best one.

Plus... my plan changes all the time anyways ;)
