Revolutionary Road!
An awesome movie I must say. Excellent performances from the duo De Caprio and Kate Winslet.
It's a story about a couple who can't cope up with their mundane life and want to do something exciting but can never get out of the trap.
De Caprio is a small employee at a corporate and feels shit about his job. It starts showing elsewhere in his life, him taking out his frustration on wife and screwing around.
As a last hope Kate tries to convince him to move to Paris and start life fresh all over again. Just when everything seems to be working and they plan to wrap up things there's a sudden twist in the story that De Caprio is offered a promotion and a bigger pay and Kate gets pregnant.
Now the eternal confusion between an unkown risk or a known trap ?
Kate being fed up of the sucky life desperately wants to escape from it and the kid looks a threat to her ruining the complete plan.
She tries to get rid of the child so that they can continue with their plan. Now their life gets into a big mess with De Caprio willing to give up their idea of moving to Paris and Kate unwilling to accept the truth.
What happens and how the story ends is all about the movie.
I think if not with whole of the movie a lot of people around can relate to it in parts. People feel stuck with what they are doing but they don't have the courage to live up and try see what lies beyond.
The fear of failure or the lure of the cozy job gets to them and suppresses what they once thought were the things they want to live for.
Eventually they end up unhappy with themselves and those around. The guts to live the life as they want to isn't for the faint hearted and this movie showcases that in beautifully.
Two actors who gave one of their best performances De Caprio and Kate Winslet (I can't belive she looks so old so fast :). De Caprio seldom disappoints me.
A must watch for someone who isn't just looking for the usual slum dum melodrama.
