revolutionary road [A]

moviemcpeake snippet: ok.  I LOVED this film.  LOVED it.  Sam Mendes (director, American Beauty [A+]) just seems to really get the pain and misery that exists behind the facade of the suburbs.  The dirty secrets, the ignored dreams, the corporate sellouts, the affairs, the life that slipped away.

The reunion of Kate Winslet and Leonardo DiCaprio was worth the wait and perfect.  I haven't seen such a great couple performance in a long time (still thinking of one near as good).  Surprisingly, I think DiCaprio's performance was more oscar worthy than Winslet's.  I say that with hesitation as both delivered amazing scenes and emotion.  But Winslet's performance reminded me a bit of "The Hours" (which was layered with great performances). 

Go see this film.  See it and then think about it.  Even if you are happy, it makes you think about the possibilities.  The other paths available.  Question your paths, because, well, why not?
