'Happiness lies within understanding and sharing'

Few days back I have seen two English movies named Revolutionary Road and Into the Wild. Two different movies but based on a same theme. In these two movies they trying to know the meaning of life, what is happiness, trying to discover the life through two different angles. The destination is same for both of the movies but the road leads to it is different. In Revolutionary road the couple is trying to settle their problems through daily family drama whereas in into the wild, the young man found the meaning of life and discover it at the end of his life through an adventurous journey to Alaska. In revolutionary Road, the couple trying to create their own identity but due to some unavoidable reasons they could not. They have to sacrifice their career due to other responsibilities and amid lots of misunderstanding they are trying to discover happiness. They tried to rebuild the relationship again and again but not successful for a long term. It was always a short time mutual understanding due to their work, ego, quarrel and obsession with life. The meaning of happiness Leonardo (the character) came to know when April (Kate Winslet) died? In this movie you found, there is always a chance to settle their life happily but there are more chances to distract them from the goal. Everybody trying to live happily but due to some misunderstanding it does not happen. So not giving the edge to misunderstanding over understanding creates happiness. This movie focuses on a family to represent the idea well as family is always a source of quarrel. Different mindsets meet each other in family which results some misunderstandings, so a lot of uncertainty has to be highlighted and solved. In my opinion and point of view, a road will be safe, secured and exciting if small revolutions take place .in this movie the word revolution comes as a chain of life involved in a road like life where little adjustments required to give it shape.
In other movie into the wild, a young guy who distract himself from the materialistic and conventional life and begins a adventurous life to study the nature, to discover new facts about wild life. He stays himself away from his family, friends means totally isolated. In this movie there are dialogues like ’money, power are just illusions’ & another one is ‘the days are exciting when you are penniless’ which are very interesting and he gives this kind of statements as he was in his initial journey of adventure. At last he confined himself to a ruined vehicle, shoots animals for food and writes his thought in a diary. Time passes, the excitement lost its flavors when there is a scarcity of food, social attachments. First he thought that he is wasting his life with the family, friends and the real happiness is there when he discover some adventurous facts but this excitement lacks its importance when he came to know happiness is real when shared. If you only do things, take steps to keep yourself happy only and don’t care about other then it has no meaning. If you do so you can enjoy for a while and after a threshold period you will hate yourself and depressed. Here in this movie at the end of his life he knew the beauty of life and happiness. It’s very easy to stay isolate with a confined happiness but it will lose its smell and excitement in the long run if not shared.

Learning from life -1

Sometimes you want to stay with the time you like, but always it does not happen due to some unavoidable problems, situations, timing and sometimes due to some mistakes. You were not aware about the problems in future but done something wrong which lead to a problem where you lose some lovable and respectable things forever. The bond will break in such a way that it will never construct again. if it may repair again then not like the previous real one. If you start the relation from the position you left it before then there is a feeling of unchanged smell. Due to some lack of trust you are an untouchable thing but that should not happen. Just you have to wait and see whether time will meet you with the other side again and solve your problem or not.
