    Revolutionary Road

    Guys, please do yourselves a favor and watch this one.

    I am not a Leonardo fan whatsoever, but he and Kate Winslet put on quite a performance.

    The film had a similar effect on me as The Matrix did. I give it two thumbs up and my full endorsement.

    I thought it was pretty average. Leo and Kate did a solid job but there wasnt much to the story imo. I'm a huge Sam Mendes fan but I thought it was one of his worst films.

      I think what I loved was the message of it all. I felt like it perfectly embodied what some feel about life.

      Did you think the acting was average or the plot, both?

        The plot. I thought the a number of scenes were tremendous. The argument after the play, Leo's face when he came home to the birthday party, the first Paris discussion, the last fight and the last breakfast. I thought Leo and Kate were both great in those scenes. I just dont think that the overarching plot was that interesting.

        With that said, I think Kate should win Best Actress for this role. Leo was good but I still think Penn was better in Milk and Rourke was better in the Wrestler this year.

          Agreed about those particular scenes.

          I can see what you mean with the plot certainly.

          To me I thought everything was just right.

            I didn't think the plot was that great either. It is at the bottom of my top 10 movies of the year list purely for the performances and the last dinner party scene. That was probably my favorite scene of the year. Leo, Kate, and the realtor's crazy son were all perfect there.
