Revolutionary Road

I saw it a couple weeks ago, I posted what I thought in the "what do you feel like saying" thread.

I really didn't want to see it based on knowing nothing about it, and the fact that movies are 12 dollars.

The movie is kinda dark yall. Indie-flick-like. Kinda had an "American Beauty" feel-another "weird ish goes down in the suburbs" movie. And the last 10 minutes grossed me out. I usually have an iron-cast stomach, and a sense of humor, but aside from crazy guy, I wasn't amused by the movie. I left grossed out, a little bothered, and definitely depressed. I kinda can't fall asleep. And I rarely cry at movies, but this one definitely had me teary-eyed. Out of it being depressing, not out of sadness or joy.

Kate Winslet, I will say, did play that role well. I think any actress couldve played it, but she did it justice. I wasn't even checking for Leo by the end.

It's so not like Titanic. But there is a similar "let's do it in the car with a hand against the window" scene, for what it's worth.
