The presentation will focus on the lack of fulfilment within the work place in the movies Revolutionary Road(2008) and Fight Club (1999). The financial stability obtained by both parties within each movie doesn't provide them with the desired level of fulfilment both suffering a dissatisfaction with the monotony of their everyday lives. The family in Revolutionary Road exemplifies a family living the American Dream.
One defining difference between the movies is that they are both set at different times, the primary differences here only tend to be in relation to aspirations one would crave for influenced by the changing in social ideologies or trends. This also helps to define the ways in which the individuals involved intend to solve their problems. Revolutionary Road tends to follow a more conventional course in order to find their fulfilment, associated with the American dream by moving to France believing that will provide the answers they are looking for, ironic that they are intend to more to France to find their dream when many come to America to find theirs. Fight Club on the other hand discovers avenues in which the main character can find his fulfilment through far more unconventional but debatable more contemporary methods.
The ways in which the individuals attempt to achieve their desired level of happiness within their lives will be discussed along with reasons for these. The changes within the characters throughout the movies will be used to asses these changes in their life and whether this has any effect on them, showing examples of incidents which would fulfill an individuals desires.
