Memorable, crazy movie

hyped garbage

How sad is this?

I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.

"Titanic" stars Kate Winslet and Leonardo DiCaprio(and even Kathy Bates) reunite for for this movie, which many people call "Titanic" if Jack had lived. However, Jack and Rose are now Frank and April, and they want to live a new life, in Paris to be particular. However, they have affairs which makes the marriage complicated. ' Frank commits adultery, and confesses it to April, and she has no reaction due to an event early in the movie. Frank, in better terms says "So you don't care who I have sex with?" After the movie I told Grandma that April took that really well. Grandma said "I wouldn't take it well!" I personally like this better than "Titanic". The main reason for that is there isn't a subplot like the "necklace" in RR. I can't say much else, but you should know I gave this my highest rating and so did Roger Ebert. That should show how good it is!

It's been over an hour since I finished watching 'Revolutionary Road' as I begin writing this review. Such is the effect of this film that I can't really stop thinking about it. I am not sure how to describe this one for I feel I will not be able to do justice with it. So I would just say a couple of things. First, it is by far among THE BEST drama movies ever made. Almost all the performances flabbergasting but Katherine Winslet's stands out. She has carried the whole weight of the film on her shoulders and never fails to impress us in any scene she is a part of. The altercations between her and Leonardo are captivating and give us the essences of the life of an ambitious couple and the thick and thin they have to go through. Second is the screenplay and dialogues which are simply superb. You will not want to miss even a single scene. I watched a couple of scenes twice or thrice also. It would be a cardinal sin if you miss this one. I hope I'm clear.

But felt compelled on this 1. What a beautifully made story of the pressures of marriage, children and family. Making what seems to be an easy decision to live the life of a suburban family isn't always so easy. Society seems to idealize family life to the point of ad of naseum. Some people are just more bohemian and flighty by nature. When these people try to mold themselves into what they think society wants them to be - it can result in disaster for all involved. Never have I seen a movie portray this more accuratelty than Revolutionary Road. I've seen it several times and each time it moves me to tears. Every actor, especially Kate & Leo, are simple magnificent. Albeit a bit sad & depressing, don't miss this film because of this. Reveal in the beauty and understatement of this perfect film.

Superb performance by the leads draw the viewers into a not-so-unfamiliar suburban family drama. What makes the film so appealing is that it speaks directly to so many married couples. If we don't see resemblances of our lives in the film, we would see it in our friends' and relatives'.Through all the fights and drama, we alternatively sympathize with the husband and the wife. The great cast of neighbors enliven the story. The film leads the viewers on an emotional ride as April (Kate Winslet) and Frank (Leonardo DiCaprio) hit a rough patch, reconcile, then descend into further chaos. We are inclined to "take side" in the couple conflict, but as the story unfolds, who is responsible for the crumbling relationship and who is the strong one becomes less clear cut.The film beautifully explores the emotion and characters of a loving couple in crisis when both realized that they had fallen into domesticity and might be missing out on life (or maybe not). It leaves us pondering about the choices we've made and the life we've resigned to.
