I saw a movie over the long weekend called "The Revolutionary Road" which I thought was a profound statement against "the rat race" and living the prescribed life that society dictates. It is about a couple who falls into the seemingly *normal* life of 9-5, nice house in suburbia and how they fight the urge to pursue their REAL dreams.

Due to my "Fastlane/Slowlane" bias, I interpreted this movie as a couple who realized that they were trapped in the mind numbing Slowlane and wanted to dare to adventure out into the riskier Fastlane, taking the "revolutionary road" that most never take.

It really is a relationship movie, but I thought the messages were very compelling.

Has anyone watched this movie?
