Shattered dreams of all the Ordinary lives

Rating: 9/10 (30 November 2011)

Well, just shot of giving 10/10 for lots of reason because I strongly believe that nothing is perfect and giving 10/10 mean that its perfect, like they way Frank and April Wheeler think about their lives in suburb Connecticut. This novel is about the lives which was true in 1950's and its true in every era, its timeless. The dreams of ordinary middle class suburban peoples, their lives around their houses and dreams. But the same people wanted to achieved those dreams and try to fulfill those promises but in the end, they forced by every possible circumstances to live the lives they hate about. They have to work to the place they hate about it, but they just cant control those things. AS THE LIFE IS A DIAMOND, AND ALL THEY HAVE TO LICK THAT DIAMOND EVERYDAY AND LIVE. Some people cope better by lying to themselves and some people couldn't cope in best possible way and like their dreams their lives will shattered in thousands pieces of glass. Frank cope and understands the practicality of his life and his family life, he worked hard at every opportunity and already compromised to the life, to the future he has to end up with, but his wife tried another way out, the whole new future and wanted to give a try, a try too hard and when she sees no hope of that future and that dream she took extreme step. As far as movie is concern Sam took the book and made the movie as close as possible, he literally took back to 1950's. Acting wise, well, I was hoping a brilliant performance by Kate by all means and of course she performed brilliantly, but the one actor who did more than his fare share of role, it was Leonardo, he just blow me away with his acting. He acted so well, in the role of Frank that, you will feel sympathy, sorry and sorrow for Frank and Leo made it possible. Its so sad that neither Kate nor Leo got an Oscar for this which they rightly deserve. This is one movie which always be in the top 10 list of most depressing movies.
