Revolutionary Road
So I just watched Revolutionary Road, which is a film set in 50's America that Kate Winslet just won a Golden Globe for, for "Best Performance by an Actress in a Motion Picture - Drama." I'm having a hard time summing up how I feel so I'm going to let someone else do it for me. Rene Rodriguez of the Miami Herald says "An impeccably shot, studiously staged, passionately acted bore, one of those curious fizzles in which everyone seems to do everything right, but the film simply refuses to take off." Kate Winslet and Leonardo DiCaprio are awesome in it and suggest seeing it for that reason alone; more importantly, I'd really like one of you guys to watch it, and ultimately I'd like to discuss this film with someone because I'm still uncertain of how I feel about it. It's the kind of film that that has left me quizzical.

My bro back home saw it, and he said it really got to him. On some really deep status. I'll see if I can find it here.
ReplyDeleteIt looks like two people get married, move to suburbia, and hate each other. I'm also sick of DiCaprio complaining about his job. I had enough of that with The Departed.
ReplyDeleteBenjamin Button was really good though.
That is what the movie is, except it's bizarre in the sense like I feel like I'm missing something even though I know I didn't. It's not a dark comedy like "American Beauty" at all, it's a heavy serious movie; not in a tear-jerking sense, but in that fact that it takes itself really seriously.
ReplyDeleteIt didn't look very good. But I will still see it eventually.
