Revolutionary Road
Revolutionary Road, would be the film that examines the failure of dialogue now broken out of a couple who live in respectable fifties, Frank and April Wheeler interpreted by the couple Titanic Kate Winslet and Leonardo DiCaprio are a young married couple seeing themselves as middle class children who small in the life of the hypocritical facade of respectability of the fifties would like to make revive the ashes of their love to move to Paris and start a new life, rejecting the squalor who are forced to live …
A movie is like visiting a wax museum, April (played by Kate Winslet really good here) rejects his role as Adam’s rib, and angel of the hearth would happen, but social conventions and the era which is not let him live, so vents his failure dreaming of a hypothetical trip to Paris …
Sam Mendes to play Ingmar Bergman, mistakenly leaving literally translates the novel for the screen by Richard Yates, not putting anything nor its style nor a soul, a movie that is not anonymous by any emotion to the viewer and that makes him look like a packaged product to feed to the public fast torque DiCaprio / Winslet, the comparison much preferred Scenes from a Marriage, where emotions and feelings are extremely fine and will live on your skin, but nothing here, there is only one rereading anonymous and elusive in a novel that should criticize the bourgeoisie and make a ferocious satire but especially would destroy the traditional American dream and nothing but a film lost behind the anonymous couple who became famous in the nineties and a wasted opportunity for Mendes be recognized as an author … sin.
In conclusion, the film slides into mediocrity as the two protagonists that become fossils of their own lives, the provocative message of the finale is just fake and pretentious.
