Extremely realistic and moving

Rating: 10/10 (25 July 2010)

Movies like It's a Wonderful Life and American History X show us how grateful we should be for our lives and how we should respect other people. Revolutionary Road, however, shows us how frustrating life can be. I've wanted to see a movie that finally nailed this, and I think I got it with this movie. It shows us that giving things up for our dreams isn't easy at all, and sometimes we need to check to see that those dreams are realistic and easy enough to do. This was the whole theme of the movie and I couldn't have asked for it to be better. Leonardo and Kate were acting gold and were completely believable together. They made me believe that they were a real couple and this was a real situation. It's an extremely depressing movie but it tells a great lesson. Maybe one that we don't necessarily want to hear, but we have to hear it anyway.
