Revolutionary Road (2008)

I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much

Yawn. Poorly Filmed Snooze Fest.

Plenty to Like, Plenty to Dislike

One of my all time favorites.

Wow what a brilliant film! Scarily real and I'm sure a lot of people can relate to (but would never admit it). Top class acting all round and possibly an Oscar-worthy performance from Kate Winslet. Revolutionary Road shows the dark side of the stereotypical American dream - Married with kids in a nice big house in suburban America with a good job you love and driving a nice car. This 'American dream' is just an illusion that people convince themselves is where true happiness lies. When those people achieve this dream they realise it's not actually what they want in life, and therefore has the opposite effect. Their reaction is to convince themselves that it's what they want and they are in fact happy. I can truly believe this happens to a lot of real people all the time.One thing I love about the film is the amount of irony, especially John Giving's (Michael Shannon) character of being a mentally ill man who says crazy things, who in fact is the only sane character in the whole film. He says what he's thinking and what he sees, where everyone else is superficial and delusional. Very underrated film and I believe the people giving it a negative review don't understand it because they are too narrow-minded and naive - much like most of the characters in the film. To those people: watch the latest Transformers or Fast and Furious film as it's probably more your taste :)

Really good acting by both actors. I liked the small twists and turns thay they had to make you guess how the story is gonna unfold. I think how much one can enjoy this movie depends on how much they can relate to their situation. It's about young married American couple with two kids who all of a sudden decide to move to Paris for a chance of a fresh start.

An outstanding drama demonstrating an awfully common problem of our society, which often isn't being recognised by the suffering party. The drama has 3 main characters - April (Kate Winslet) the housewife, Frank (Leonardo DiCaprio), the main character and will talk about the third one later.If you experience anything what you've seen in the movie, you are psychologically abused and should see someone specialised immediately. Frank personalises the perfect abusive husband who knows all the trick how he can terrorise April without ever hurting her physically. But she doesn't give up, tries to change their life entirely, Frank gives the hope, agrees with April, but when he has to do action, he finds excuses every time. And again and again so he can let April down. Well, this is not the first one of its subject. The third main character is John (Michael Shannon), who says out loudly the truth and is intelligent enough to analyse the main characters psychologically - ironically he is considered psychopath for doing it so in this 1950's society.Overall it is a good movie representing important values, but not an easy watch. You might get confused about April's personality and behaviour, which demonstrates how much she suffers due to the abuse she has to take.

Such a realistic portrayal of marriage and relationships in general that it literally hurts to watch. No other couple expect Winslet-DiCaprio would manage to breathe life in these two characters. It is magnificent how slow and how painful life can be when we realise we didn't fulfill something we wanted. I usually pick a side when I watch a movie sometimes consciously sometimes without being aware of it but this time I couldn't blame neither of them. In real life this happens so often, we don't have bad guy- good guy but it just doesn't work due to a variety of intrinsic or outer reasons.
