BT Luo, this two-faced person. He fell from honors. He once said that sometimes we have an urge to change, but when we come back to reality, the trivialities dissolve that feeling.
I thought it was right at the time. And APRIL was just unwilling, and had to seize this ethereal straw. She has no money and is not financially independent, making it impossible for her to make a change except hysterical. Even if she sees her future self, she can't change it. The root of everything is that she has no financial foundation. In fact, many women come here. After the age of 35, the useless husband, ignorant children, critical in-laws, gossip colleagues, boring work. All of these are the most reason-like reasons. I remember the woman in "Double Tape" who was about to move out, the explosive vibe. But what's ridiculous is what other people say. Her in-laws said, what did she say? I don't understand, am I doing something wrong? Alas, she is getting more and more angry. The world doesn't have the slightest sensibility. It weighs your weight and feels like it's not worth mentioning. Naturally, your actions are acting instead.
Frank married APRIL because he felt her compliments would satisfy his high vanity. This is the same as Lu Tao in "Struggle". The problem is that Charlene realizes it. FRANK works hard, doesn't like it, but has a high salary. APRIL as a housewife, lost herself, lonely, she wanted to get out of this predicament, so she wanted to go to Paris. Although it is progressive, it is not feasible. Because this is just her sensibility, she is too blind to see the reality she is facing. That illusion of hope is opium. Charlene's successful departure is nothing more than that she still has money and that she has a job in Paris. She can support Lu Tao. And Lu Tao came out of the illusion of success, and he really realized his direction. "There are two kinds of people who are indifferent to fame and fortune, one is too famous, the other is too small." Frank had never been successful, and he couldn't resist the temptation of ambition. His previous go can only be a pause button.
When APRIL feels hopeless, Frank tells her of his affair. At this point, he said he needed her. I believe. Lu Tao said the same to Xia Lin. In fact, it was because they lived together for too long. This kind of beautiful illusion built on the basis of APRIL's pain, if it were not for APRIL's death, I am afraid it would be too contrary to her character. Is she looking at the child outside the window, is she nostalgic for the beautiful things in the world?
John seems to be a lunatic, but in fact he is the most sober person. I suddenly understood why he laughed when he heard the plans of the WHEERLs. He hinted that family can lead to failure. Especially when it seems happy. In the second meeting, JOHN did not point out why it was Frank. It seems that Frank is selfish, but the reality is also partly responsible, I think. And he satirized that FRANK locked APRIL in this way, as if telling APRIL that reality locked you in this way. (Because before, they chose a house because of their children and lived on Revolutionary Road, so they gave up.) However, I still think that children are not the main reason. Because the failure of the dream is more important than the child, and APRIL obviously thinks so. (I think the implementation of the dream is a kind of torture to the lover, because it is your business, you don't need to let others suffer. In fact, the bearer of the dream is selfish. Only in this way can it be realized) It is also like saying to Frank, You are not a real man, you rely (in the film, APRIL is like a kind of hope) trampling on your dreams to satisfy the pain that you are really normal.
To be honest, cruel, actually, if there are things we don't change early on, one day we will be them. It's just a matter of time.
