Revolutionary Road

Rating: 10/10 (30 January 2009)

Revolutionary Road was a great film in many aspects. First the powerful acting delivered by Leonardo Dicaprio and Kate Winslet. Second the dialogue was absolute genius. Finally the story is so unbelievably told that it leaves you speechless to what you're actually seeing on screen. It baffles me that this movie didn't get more nominations and Leo and Kate needed nominations for this movie, but this isn't the first time I've seen Leo get shafted by the Oscars. The story of two people only in love with the idea of each other, getting married having children and trying to do the right thing with everything that's wrong finally clashes and is told so brilliantly and believably in this movie. This movie was highly underestimated by the Oscars. It was wonderful in many ways and Sam Mendes yet again brings us another great movie that leaves us thinking about it long after the credits end.
