don't get me wrong. it was great. very well done.
but utterly depressing.
firstly: i saw it by myself (my roommate said, "oh that's so carrie bradshaw of you!!" uh.. or loserish? independent? i think so). on a saturday night. after a long long day. already in a slightly sour mood.
second: i sort of lost faith in humanity. lost faith in suburbia. not that i had much faith in suburbia to begin with, but, either way. lost any ounce of it.
thirdly: it made life seem much more bleek. made me joyful, once again, for jesus
rotten tomato says: Brilliantly acted and emotionally powerful, Revolutionary Road is a handsome adaptation of Richard Yates' celebrated novel."
i would agree.
it's definitely no titanic.

hah yeahh...
i really enjoy going to movies by myself,
but you definitely have to be emotionally prepped,
or just go see something like wall-e or son of rambow
or else you'll end up wanting to just take a hot shower and falling asleep right after.
at least you can say you saw it come oscar sunday.
love you miss you,
all that stuff.
after seeing that i for reals don't want to get married. suck.
