A fresh take on how to live ones life

Rating: 8/10 (5 August 2019)

Revolutionary Road is not only a well-made from a cinematographic view with it's thematics and camera view, but also an interesting take on how to live a life which is true to oneself. This young couple moves to the suburbs and with it a certain style of life is expected. A conflict then arises as to whether to follow the norm or actually break-free and live a life on ones own terms. I was taken by their youthful drive and vision that ulitmately got shattered because of an inability to follow through. It is dramatic and gripping, and can shake ones view on how much our culture is influencing our choices on how to live our lives.
