Revolutionary Road : Brilliantly acted frought story
OK, this is my kind of movie. Heavyweight relationship stuff.
The nice Wheelers live in a perfect perky house on Revolutionary Road. But nothing is as perfect as it looks with their lives. They’ve gone badly out of sync as they find they want different things from life at different points. Brilliant acting by the Titanic couple, particularly by Kate Winslet. Again, I go with the story and don’t stop to analyze the movie-making. All I can say is that it held me.
I saw another movie with relationship stuff but this one was definitely not my cup of tea. And here, the acting stood out as horribly amateurish. Fireproof. Not sure if it’s even well-known or anything but it was just a new release so I ended up watching it. This movie is like a long sermon. Fireman Caleb Whatever is pissed off with Mrs Whatever – and vice versa. They’re at the point of divorce when Caleb’s wise old dad tells him to take a 40-day challenge and put his marriage back on track – and bring Jesus into his life. OK. Good. For someone else.
