[MD] The Revolutionary Road

[Mary]

Hello everyone,

If you have never seen the movie "Revolutionary Road" you will enjoy
it.  There is a character in it which could be a young Phaedrus.  He
makes astounding insights near the end.  I have no doubt you will spot
him.  This movie has so much to say about the conflict between the
Social Level and freedom/DQ it could have been written by Pirsig
himself.   The movie came out in 2008 and if it's already been
discussed here I apologize.  I don't see much that hasn't been out for
a while.  If you've ever groped for an example of one level being
unable to comprehend another, then this is the movie for you.  Have I
piqued your interest? :)

There are so many messages for MoQers in this movie I admit to
watching it twice - back to back - just to catch references.

Pay attention to Phaedrus' mother and the main character's neighbors.
Reigel is married to Lila in 2 mirror images and Phaedrus' mother is
the archetype "moral" Victorian.  It is extraordinary.

Best,
Mary
