Yes indeedy, Carpe Diem! It actually inspired me to have a "go for it" attitude towards a big decision I've been debating... so excited. :)

Oh, I"M SOOO GLAD you finally watched it, Steen. I thought you would be inspired by it. Very few people live deliberately. I'm so glad you'll be one of them, because the world needs you! Carpe Diem!!!!

Watched Dead Poets Society today. All I have to say is: I want to live deliberately. :)

oh my gosh, you guys. i'm watching one of my fave classics "please don't eat the daisies". and the husband says to doris day....you'll meet lots of interesting people. and doris answers, oh interesting people don't want to get to know housewives. and he says but you're so much more than a housewife. i just thought that was fascinating in light of the revolutionary road conversation!!!

excellent way of putting it,maggie.she was practically exploding out of her role as a 50's housewife.she couldn't have been more bored.and he had no idea what he wanted.or he DID want what she wanted, but he was simply too scared.his tragic flaw. it was hard to know how they got there exactly. but there was such an emphasis on conformity back then. it's amazing how few choices there were back then. such brilliant people all over the place stuck into little houses into little roles...

you think they were shallow? hmmm. i'm not sure if i would use the word shallow,but i can certainly see why you didn't like them. there was a coldness in her that i wasn't sure what to make of.i didn't know if she was nuts or what. they tried to show that they had been happy once,but they didn't do a good job of that. i found him interesting. i think they wanted some meaning out of life, so i'm not sure shallow is the word i'd use....how do you mean?

Not watching much this weekend Lisa but have to totally disagree on Revolutionary Road. I could not stand that movie! The characters were so shallow that I could care less about what happened to them. If I recall correctly I tried watching it twice and both times I dozed off.
