Revolutionary Road

Cait and i parked in the Rainbow Foods parking lot around a quarter to seven, eager to run in the below zero temperatures towards the Uptown Landmark Theatre. We were leaving the house for two very specific reasons: to let a friend of ours have some alone time with a new smitten kitten and to re-live our adolescence watching Kate and Leo on the big screen. There was no hit Celine Dion single this time around, just true blue players and one moving story. The acting reminded me of the same chemistry between Vivian Leigh and Brando in a "A Streetcar Named Desire." Fiery, violent... and well amazing to me. Anyhow, Revolutionary Road.... a dark exploration of the values of corporate American society... the values of an individual and how they are intertwined with vocation... give or take a couple love scenes, some adultery, and furniture being thrown and there you have it!
oh yes, and kathy bates was in it. All in all it was a good outing and i got to use my George Forman lean mean grilling machine again when we hungrily arrived home.
I have felt the loneliness much today, but in that a feel a freedom in all that i do.
I try my best to keep my head high, my eyes open, and my heart beating.
