I'm Glad Someone Woke Up

Rating: 10/10 (7 September 2009)

The book, by the same name, was penned in 1961 and it took almost forty years to bring this unbelievably good story to the silver screen? Huh? Well I'm glad that someone woke up so thank you DreamWorks SKG.For heaven's sake; we all know about the enormous talent of Leo DiCaprio but this Kate Winslet lady is totally outta sight. An example? In one year she pulled off "The Reader" and "Rev. Road" to the amazement of all? Those two movies to many, represent a CAREER but to Kate, all in a day's work. Sorry, but to those who think that Meryl Streep is the best in the business, you're wrong. Kate takes the cake.
"RR" turns the daily hum drum into bang the drum.An enormously well acted story of a dream turned sour,a devoted spouse & mother turned desperate housewife, marriage vows crushed by either revenge or boredom, the downside of wealth and the final act of ultimate self-pity and misery. "RR", a cinematic achievement of unparalleled twists, turns, escapism and the plunge into the abyss of disappointment resulting in tragedy. Rent this DVD, people. It's an amazing film.
