revolutionary road

[BC *B-day July 10th!*]

Anyone seen this yet? Dont think a film about a couple having a domestic will be any good?

 

[Wyatts mama]

I saw it this morning! Good acting I suppose but the film just left me cold. Just not my thing perhaps but a film about a couple not getting along is never going to particularly exciting.

 

[Maria_2244]

It is a fabulous performance by Kate and Leo.

Well worth seeing.

 

[iTs A B0Y <3]

Its nice to have a film thats different than the rest at the cinema. Kate just seems to get better with age, still gives me the horn lol.

 

[P.B.]

but it is about a couple have a domestic?

 

[Due♥12/09]

Every film doesn't have to be about a cartoon duck or an explosive car chase.

 

[blue-eyed brunette]

Its all about The Horn lol.

 

[Smart a$$]

She was looking splendid at the Premiere on the news earlier.

DepenRAB if it's a chase with explosive cars rather than an explosive chase with common or garden cars.

LOL! .

I can't wait to see Revolutionary Road, I think it looks fantastic. Looks like my sort of film. The book its based on is supposed to be fantastic too, and I'm quite surprised I've not read it before.

 

[steph j]

who wrote the book?

 

[geisha]

Richard Yates.

Well, I saw it yesterday, and I have to say, its MUCH more than a film about a domestic. I'm going to spoiler my review in case it gives away too much for those who haven't seen it, although I won't be giving away vital plot points:

Spoiler

Its a critique on the inset culture of 1950s America, of the sexism displayed in the shock at the suggestion a woman support a man. An exploration of the emptiness, the soullessness of suburbia and a tragic reminder that if you keep putting off your dreams they'll get further out of reach, if you don't actively follow them, they'll simply fade away.

I loved it. The performances were nothing less than extraordinary, Leo and Kate (particularly Kate) were breathtaking. Kate Winslet is the best actress working in film at the moment.

thanks

the domestic begins on friday

 

[ghostinthecrowd]

If Kate is this brilliant, why was she not nominated for the Oscar? I find it strange

 

[Mr. Curiosity]

she in for the reader

 

[kimmayyxo]

I know, but it's iwerd how nearly all the award shows as her part in The Reader as a Supporting Actress

She's nominated in the Best Actress (not supporting) in both the BAFTAs and Oscars for her part in the Reader.

I do find it surprising that she hasn't god a nod for Revolutionary Road - imo, the best performance by an actress in a LONG time, and far superior to Jolie's in Changeling. But there you go ...
