Revolutionary Road

Tonight I saw Revolutionary Road with Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet. It is a great film, however, it is utterly depressing. It's impossible to love a movie that is so somber.

Frank and April Wheeler appear to be the perfect couple on the outside. They live in a beautiful home in the outskirts of the city and have two children. On the inside, their lives are a mess. They are unsatisfied with their very existance, and they get the idea that moving to Paris - where people really "live" - will solve their problems. Things don't quite work out as planned, and the end of the film is shocking.

Kate definitely earned that Golden Globe. She is the type of actress who truly becomes the character that she is playing. I think Leo deserved the GG too. He does passionate scenes so well, and is one heck of a crier.
