***What if Jack & Rose married and settled into the conventional American grind?***

The Wheelers are a couple with two kids living in the suburbs of Connecticut in the ’50s. Frank (Leonardo DiCaprio) marches off to the big city five times a week, ten hours a day, to a job he hates whereas April (Kate Winslet) takes care of things on the home front, including their hardly-seen children. April’s dream of being an actress has failed and she vents her frustrations on Frank. Emasculated, he has a meaningless affair to prove his manhood to himself. Meanwhile April suggests a wild idea for them to move to Paris because Frank’s war tales describe it as a place of exhilaration and April desperately wants him to regain that aura of vitality he had when they first met. Will they escape the comatose corner they’ve painted themselves into or will they join the masses of (supposedly) living dead in their midst?

Eleven years after their mega-hit “Titanic” (1997), Kate and Leonardo reunite for “Revolutionary Road,” released in January, 2009. Kate has shed her unappealing baby fat and is now a curvy beauty whereas Leonardo is a man and no longer has that boyish vibe.

I enjoy a good drama now and then, like the excellent “Snow Angels” (2007), the potent “Grand Canyon” (1991) or the masterpiece “Dead Poets Society” (1989), but “Revolutionary Road” fails to achieve the greatness of those films, mainly because the characters and their story are fairly boring. The film’s just not that engrossing, which is my core criterion for evaluating any flick. In quality and theme, it’s reminiscent of “Joe Versus the Volcano” (1990).

Like “Joe,” it’s a slyly offbeat drama despite being about American conventionality. The best parts involve Michael Shannon as John, the mentally disturbed son of the real estate lady (Kathy Bates), a fascinating character. Everyone else in the Wheeler’s lives thinks their plans to give up their suburban paradise are crazy (big surprise). But John sees the brilliance and necessity of the plan. In other words, the only person who ‘gets’ the plight of the Wheelers is this nigh-insane dude. But he’s not really crazy. John is gifted at seeing through a facade to get to the core of a matter, the awesome or awful truth. And he has no inhibitions about speaking his mind, good or bad. At heart, John is a beatnik, the 50’s precursor to the hippie. He represents the first wave of the 60’s counter-culture, a generation of youth who discerned the cracks in the post-war “paradise,” and rebelled, for better or worse.

Some important questions are raised: Is life just having a marriage, a family, a well-paying job (you loathe) and a nice home in the pleasant suburbs, plus cigarettes and drinks without end? Or is there more? What about love? What about genuineness? What about unrealized, unused or ignored talents and dreams? What about (gasp) God?

“Revolutionary Road” has some other positives: it’s expertly made, has a good score by Thomas Newman and evokes some haunting moments.

Some have suggested that the film is one POSSIBLE outcome if Jack had survived the end of “Titanic” and married Rose: The once spirited, carefree Jack settles into the robotic grind to pay the bills while Kate is left frustrated at home in suburbia. Regrettably, it’s overall mediocre due to the unengrossing characters and their story, which of course links to the theme its espousing.

Yet it does have flashes of greatness and it makes you reflect on its points. In some ways, the same message is addressed in “Dead Poets Society” (and “Grand Canyon,” to a lesser degree): rejecting the box society tries to confine you, throwing caution to the wind, and going after your dreams. The difference is that “Dead Poets Society” (and “Grand Canyon”) accomplished this with absorbing stories whereas “Revolutionary Road” doesn’t. Generally speaking, that is. Yet it’s still worth catching if its themes trip your trigger.

The film runs almost 2 hours and was shot in Connecticut & New York City.

GRADE: C+

Can you change your life for love? What’s the border between craziness and frustration? Are we really living our lives? This fantastic movie won 20 awards and 73 nominations. It’s an incredible story and let’s discover why.

The movie is set in Connecticut during the mid-1950 and inspired by the book “Revolutionary Road” written by Richard Yates. It’s a story of love, marriages, families and abortion, ambitions and frustrations, of dreamers and conformists. It’s the daily tale of all of us, on the road of our lives. Looking for an often unachievable and unknown happiness.

You will ask yourself “what’s the purpose of this life”? It is just about having a good job, a great house, a wife, children? Or there is something more? Like the love for yourself, for your talents, your passions, your desires and dreams. But to find the right answer requires painful choices to be made, and this where this masterpiece guide us.

Frank and April Wheeler are the protagonists and to give them voice and action, we have two of the most talented and incredible actors in Hollywood: Leonardo Di Caprio and Kate Winslet, directed by Sam Mendes, in one of his most successful films. It’s not a movie for everyone. It’s very sophisticated, well-crafted, a masterpiece, in my opinion.

Truth is usually in singular – Lies always come in plural.
I saw an advance screening of Revolutionary Road in Beverly Hills, CA this evening (December 14th). A Q&A session followed the screening with Leonardo DiCaprio, Kate Winslet, Kathy Bates, Michael Shannon, Kathryn Hahn, and screenwriter Justin Haythe. Photos from the Q&A are attached to this report.

Revolutionary Road is a story that you won’t be able to shake easily. The film will stick in your head and leave you to contemplate what has just happened on the screen before you. Richard Yates gives us the story of Frank and April Wheeler, the seemingly perfect suburbia couple. We soon find out their marriage is teetering on the edge of a collapse as they are overwhelmed by the fact that they have each made the wrong choices in their lives.

Once again Kate Winselt and Leonardo DiCaprio come together with great chemistry, pulling the best out of each other. This is a heavy film with emotionally complex characters, I’m not sure I could think of any two actors that could pull off the roles of Frank and April Wheeler like Leonardo and Kate did.

“Truth is usually in singular – Lies always come in plural.” I’m not sure who said that, but it is a notion that sums up this film.

Michael Shannon shinned in his role as the clinically insane son of Kathy Bates character; John Givings. Bates and Shannon both deliver humorous scenes to this heavy storyline, although there are times when you see the sadness and desperation in their characters as well. Michael Shannon’s character, John Givings, is the truth in this film. Although clinically insane, he can see through everyone’s lies and does the unthinkable; he forces everyone face their own truth.

I guarantee you will not be singing “My Heart Will Go On” after seeing this film. But you won’t be disappointed with this little film gem.

Breath-taking and emotionally gripping film
This was flat-out, out of the best movies I’ve ever seen. But I have been reading some comments about this movie and I want to clear some things up.

April is NOT selfish! She really loves Frank and would do anything to make him happy. She and him and both miserable in suburbia and she knows that Frank hates the job he works at. So she suggests that they go away. She only says Paris because she knows it’s one of the only places he’s ever been to that makes him feel “alive”. She wants him to find a job that makes him happy. In fact, I firmly believe that if he told her he wanted to be a flamingo dancer, she would buy him the suit and let him do the can-can all over the house if it made him happy.

When he accepts her offer to got to Paris, she feels that everything will be perfect. But then she hears him on the beach telling someone else about the job offer. She is crushed, not only because she was the last to know, but because it was like he was stomping on her dream of happiness for the family.

She decides then that she’s done…that she just can’t handle it anymore. She is tired of living a lie that she is happy when she knows full-well that she isn’t. She loves him but frankly, marriage and kids is draining the life out of her. I think when she heard what she heard on the beach and Frank said, “Why don’t you let that be my business,” or whatever he said, he was basically telling her it was his life and to stay out of it.

That’s why the whole fight in the woods scene happened…she had made up her mind. She wanted out. You may not agree with her decision, but I can definitely understand it.

And Frank is not a bad man. Yes, I am aware that he cheated on April. But so did she. He’s the type of man that needs to be loved and appreciated. I think he felt he wasn’t getting that with April. He loves her and cares about her but she’s a lot for him to handle. Especially in the opening scene when they get into a fight about the play. He can see that she is hurting that it bombed and he wants to make her feel better. But he doesn’t know what to say and whatever he says, is wrong to April because she’s already in a terrible mood. And you know men…they mean well but sometimes they are totally clueless.

And he felt awful about cheating. Did you see the close-up when April and the kids sang happy birthday to him. He felt like the biggest jerk!

The acting was amazing. Leonardo DiCaprio was unbelievable as Frank. In the scene where April tells him she hates him and he cries, it ripped me apart inside. I don’t know…something about men crying bothers me. Kate was wonderful as usual. I hope she wins that Oscar. The best thing about this movie was that DiCaprio and Winslet could speak volumes without saying a single word. It was all in their eyes.

Sam Mendes is a genius! Anyway, I think I’m rambling now so I’ll leave you to decide for yourself what you think of this movie. I, as you can see, fully enjoyed it.
