"Revolutionary Road"

At the beginning of the year, the bf and I had a goal to watch all the hoity-toity Oscar movies that won big, but most people had never heard of. "Slumdog Millionaire" was good, "In Bruges" with Colin Farrell was good, and last night we finally got along to "Revolutionary Road" with Kate Winslet and Leonardo DiCaprio. IDK what it is with this duo, but they are greatttt together. If you're scared of marriage like me, u might not want to watch it, lol. It's directed by Sam Mendes, who directed "American Beauty," so there is a similar theme of having the perfect little suburban life and not being fulfilled with it.

In the case of Leo and Kate, when they met as two carefree young people, everything was fun and they had a desire to be great one day. Seven years and two kids later, real life kind of set in and the lives they wanted to lead all along still haven't begun. It causes unhappiness for them personally and destruction for their marriage. Kate comes up with a plan to escape from the hopelessness of everyday life and get back to their dreams, but, well...sometimes ppl stick with what's safe and comfortable. You should check it out and see how everything pans out. The acting was great from everyone involved, and it's an amazing film.
