Revolutionary Road


Breaking up the monotony of all the Japanese films!

When I first saw the trailer for Revolutionary Road I really wanted to see the movie, but it was pretty disappointing.  1.  The 50s sucked.  2.  The suburbs sucked (and still do).  OK WE KNOW YOU GUYS.  Also, DiCaprio & Winslet just didn't have the right chemistry here (disappointing since this was sort of billed as a big reunion for them as leads together)...their "fights" really didn't seem genuine.  This may have been the fault of the dialog, though, which was overwrought.

It was interesting, though, that one of the themes was accepting your own mediocrity...something anyone can relate to.

Also, lol at the sex scenes in this movie being like 10 seconds long.
