Revolutionary Road Book Vs Movie. Revolutionary road takes place during a period after world war ii when the american economy was booming and millions of americans who grew up in poverty during the depression were joining the middle class. The story is based on the 1961 novel by richard yates.
Revolutionary road is a drama film by sam mendes which was released in late 2008. I’d say that reading the book after seeing the film is probably the better choice (if one was to do both), at least in the case of revolutionary road. This made the movie seem more like a performance than a believable world that pulled me in.
