All of us are so impressionable when we are young or until the age of sixty. Our lives seem simple, boring and without direction. We believe that is a shortcut to living the extraordinary life and find out eventually that life is to short for there to a easy way to live it.
Two films that give us a look at our desire to have our lives be
“storybook” are An Education and Revolutionary Road. Both films deal with the same subject with very different endings. One is a downer and the other offers hope and neither suggest that there is ever shortcut.
