Revolutionary Road

Based on the novel by Richar Yates, Directed by Oscar winner Sam Mendes. Starring 3-time Oscar nominee Leonardo DiCaprio, 5-time Oscar nominee and 1-time Oscar winner Kate Winslet and Kathy Bates.

The film tells the story of a young married couple Frank and April Wheeler. The two met at a party, fall in love and get married, pausing their life plans for a while; as they put it "its only temporary!'' Well then, after a few years, Frank has a lousy job he doesnt even like much, April is a housewife and the couple have 2 kids. They appear to be a great couple to their friends but things begin to fall apart when the 2 think of getting a new life in Paris, figuring everything out but face problems projecting it. The 2 begin to fight, cheat and everything all the while trying to work on their marriage as well.

I wont tell what exactly happens in the movie because it will just ruin it for the person.

In the movie Leo and Kate give exceptionally extra-ordinary performances, applauded by critics and movie-lovers all around and speciall Kate Winslet!

Kate was nominated for numerous awards, winning the Golden Globe, the same night she won a Golden Globe for The Reader (2 wins, YAYYY). She would've been nominated for an Oscar for Best Actress but she was nominated for The Reader instead (also winning it). The Academy considered her perfomance in The Reader as a leading one, unlikely of SAG and Golden Globes. And as per Academy rules, an actor/actress can avail only one nomination in a single category. Had she been nominated in the supporting category for The Reader (which she would have won obviously) she would've been nominated for the leading role for Revolutionary Road (hopefully winning it too.) *SIGH*

-But there is something very true about this movie.

My ratings: 8.5/10
