Wow. Sam Mendes can take you places you would never go, never want to go and then make you glad you went. Revolutionary Road is a voyeuristic look at the train wreck that is the life of what should be the quintessential All-American couple. Leonardo DiCaprio is very good as a real bastard who plays everything and everyone for his own benefit. The subtle psychological abuse he doles out is truly evil when you see it. The ambiguity of his character is fascinating. Does he do it consciously or is it a reflection of the mores of the times? The only thing I can criticize is his looks. When he’s 60, I bet he will still look 20. It’s hard to imagine him as an adult with his boyish looks. Winslet is wonderful and the tragic star. The one person who dares to express dissatisfaction with her lot and trys to change it. You will get something from this film. It may be a warning. It may be depressing. You may thank God you’re not them, but you will take something away with you. See the movie and tell me what you think.
