Not sure where to start, so i'll take Revolutionary Road for 100!

So the other night I saw the DiCaprio Winslet much ado about nothing movie Revoltionary Road, the big screen adaptation of Richard Yates' novel. It tells the age old story of people in an unhappy marriage. I will say, it was an excellent character study of the furiously bored. Here's what i take from the movie and can see it applied to so many people I know, but who keep it all a secret hush hush!

Many people think they are destined for something big, something important in their lives, career, philanthropy, world travel, fame, fortune! The truth is, really we are all just human, except for the very few who either by fate or by lots of hard work and devotion, and perhaps a bit of luck become bigger than themselves in life. Most of us go to college, maybe onto graduate school, have our first apartment and our first job, do the 20 something social scene. For some its just regular and for others, its a very impressive high life. But in the end, most people trade it in for a house in the suburbs, 2 kids, a dog, a husband who works very hard to provide a good life, a few trips and some great friends.

There are choices that we make and sacrifices. And in the end, some except the road they've chosen and realize that they are good and kind and hard worker, but really no different than the majority of people. For those that are different, we oooh and ahhh over their lives and sometimes feel a twinge of envy. The ones who suffer are the ones who can't accept who they are and what life is.
