Revolutionary Road (2008)

*ing: Leonardo Di Caprio, Kate Winslet
Genre: Drama, Romance

When I watched 'Titanic' the movie ... that was the first time I watched Leonardo and Kate as actors ... and honestly speaking ... I quite hated the movie as well as quite hated Kate in the movie ... yeah ... call me an Idiot for disliking a movie that world loved and critics loved ... but this is me. Anyway ... that was then and then I see Leonardo and Kate once again in 'Revolutionary Road' and ... I am almost speechless ... brilliant performances by the two ... when I say brilliant I really mean brilliant ... a performance that deserves a standing ovation ... I would go as far as boldly saying that 'Revolutionary Road' is probably the most under-rated movie of 2008 and sadly Leornardo and Kate the most under-rated actors for their performances in this movie. Also, thanks to Sam Mendes, yes ... the same Sam Mendes who directed 'American Beauty' and 'Road to Perdition'. What's the movie all about? Kate and Leonardo play a couple married with 2 children ... however not all is well in their marital life. April (Kate) has failed in her dream to be an actress and Frank (Leonardo) is not happy with his job and is not able to figure out what does he really want to do that will give him the satisfaction to work and be happy and now they are expecting a 3rd child and add to that is a plan in the hatching.

Watch this movie for brillaint performances by the lead cast, amazing music by Thomas Newman, 1950's art direction and Kate Winslet ... brilliant acting and she looks amazing in those 50's fashion :-)
