I'm Happy after buyingThis Revolutionary Road Leonardo DiCaprio
"Revolutionary Road" is brought to life by the extraordinary performances of Leonardo Di Capria (Frank Wheeler) and Kate Winslet (April Wheeler). The movie portrays a young couple who are stuck in a rut and decide at one point to make a major change in their lives and move from Connecticut to Paris. This sounds all well and good, but then various new options and obstacles begin to mount. He's offered a better paying job, and she gets pregnant, and so instead of being able to make a break for a new life the prison of their lives begins to get tighter. It is apparent early on that April is unhappy with her life. On the other hand Frank seems resigned to his vacuous life. April is frustrated with their lives and grows resentful of Frank's complacency. There is a chilling scene, the morning after their big argument, when Frank comes to breakfast. April acts like one of the Stepford wifes, behaving with utmost perfection, like a dutiful wife, as if nothing ever happened the night before. Frank seems bewildered, but relieved, and doesn't seem to think too much about what his wife's chilling transformation could mean.
Sam Mendes (Road to Perdition, American Beauty) beautifully directs this movie, which initially seems trapped in the inertia of its all too idealized depiction of 1950's America, but then Mendes takes us down this disturbing path where everything that is too perfect, sterile and bland is revealed as a kind of prison for this couple, and this facilitates in highlighting the underlining tension between Frank and April. This is a monumental movie that takes its time in order to weave it web.
Revolutionary Road with Kate Winslet and Leonardo Dicaprio. i cant find the song playing in the background. Can someone help me?
ReplyDeleteI watched the movie Revolutionary Road and thought it was an amazing movie and the acting by both Kate Winslet and Leonardo DiCaprio was extroardinary. What i really think though was Kate Winslet is one of my favorite female actors and her performance in this movie totally deserve the award she recently recieved but Leonardo DiCaprio I thought did an amazing job in this movie and I think he should've got an award for his role. I'm not a huge fan of Leo but his performance in that movie was very impressive. What do you guys think?
ReplyDeleteRevolutionary Road was a 2008 film based on the novel with Leonardo Dicaprio and Kate Winslet. I just finished watching the movie and i wanted to know where they filmed it.
ReplyDeleteThree out of the four Leonardo DiCaprio movies I've seen have connected him to the ocean and had him soaking wet. Titanic, Shutter Island, Inception... what other movies does Leo get drenched in? WHY?? Is it some kind of contract thing? Like only a few actors agree to go topless, and only a few actors agree to immerse themselves in water? Or is there some reason everyone wants to get Leonardo DiCaprio wet?
ReplyDeleteLike in every movie Leonardo DiCaprio features, especially in movies that come out in the 4th Quarter or close to December they get multiple award nominations etc. i.e, Gangs of New york,The Aviator,The Departed,Revolutionary Road,Blood Diamond. And I doubt The Great Gatsby will be any exception in 2012.
ReplyDeleteThey played as a couple twice in Titanic and Revolutionary Road.
