This movie is just incredible.

Those who can't empathize with either of the characters are seriously in denial. Who can't relate to feeling as though they might have settled for less than they are capable of? I've been both Frank... Afraid to take the road less travelled... And April as well... Desperate for something more fulfilling.

I think the moral is to figure out at what point you decide to be grateful for what you have. And it is also about finding the courage to be yourself. We're lucky we live in this day and age where most of us have the luxury of figuring that out. Back then, I imagine it was much tougher to break from the norm.

As an artist who really questions his abilities... I also relate to April's disappointment in not being able to follow through with her acting career. I hope I have the courage to explore my capabilities as an artist and not settle for any other vocation. If it turns out that I have to do something else to get by, I hope I can find acceptance. April simply could not accept her circumstances. I felt sorry for her. Felt sorry for Frank too.

I just adore this movie. It really makes you think.
