- Revolutionary Road.

''A young couple meet and fall in love - seeing the spark within each other. Both are creative souls seemingly willing to live a purposeful life together - refusing to be ordinary. Gradually though, the mundane begins to creep in. Their safe suburban home, the un-fulfilling job, the loss of creativity and drive….all these things and more put pressure on a once exciting relationship. It’s an all too familiar story of love lost and lives wasted. Any life is a challenge, but to live a creative, purposeful one can be difficult in a society that seems comfortable with endless materialistic gain and safe attitudes.
The film is set in the 1950’s and the attention to detail of the era is great. Funnily though, it is a story that could have just as easily be set in modern day, a story that takes place in the homes of millions right now.''

John Givings: You want to play house you got to have a job. You want to play nice house, very sweet house, you got to have a job you don't like.
April Wheeler: Tell me the truth frank remember that? We used to live by it. And you know what's so good about the truth? Everyone knows what it is however long they've lived without it. No one forgets the truth frank they just get better at lying
April Wheeler: I wanted IN. I just wanted us to live again. For years I thought we've shared this secret that we would be wonderful in the world. I don't know exactly how, but just the possibility kept me hoping. How pathetic is that? So stupid. To put all your hopes in a promise that was never made. Frank knows what he wants, he found his place, he's just fine. Married, two kids, it should be enough. It is for him. And he's right; we were never special or destined for anything at all.
April Wheeler: No, Frank. This is what's unrealistic. It's unrealistic for a man with a fine mind to go on working year after year at a job he can't stand. Coming home to a place he can't stand, to a wife who's equally unable to stand the same things. And you know what the worst part of it is? Our whole existence here is based on this great premise that we're special. They we're superior to the whole thing. But we're not. We're just like everyone else! We bought into the same, ridiculous delusion. That we have to resign from life and settle down the moment we have children. And we've been punishing each other for it. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0959337/
