I don't know at first why Verycd.com has put Revolutionary Road as a must-watch movie on Valentine's day. After having watched, i realize this movie will memorably appeal to any lovers if they spend two hours of that day to watch it.
I don't agree that this plot of this movie remains old-fashioned to express a family matter after all. Instead, it could be impressed by the dialogue, facial expression of a young couple- Frank Wheeler (Leornado) and April Wheeler (Kate). First scene in the beginning of this movie describes April's dismal of the lousy character she played for, and they quarrel (actually Frank trigger this quarrel but obviously he's trying to care about her by solving problems). On the second scene, this couple's trying to escape from hopeless emptieness but they've failed because of having a new child. Last Scene is about Scrambled Egg.
Leornado is a great actor who I can grasp lot of emotional feelings through his face and actions. I will ask why he wasn't nominated in Oscar Award? Michael Shannon played a nice supporting actor to illustrate the circumstance that having a new child doesn't matter moving to Paris-to have a new lifestyle. I'm wondering what Frank really want- a new promoted job or Paris life? After several quarrels as April's wandering in the jungle or keep smoking against the tree, it could easily be led into the pathenic situation that their love seems fading. The day after everything's unlikely restored to normal. However the little metaphor traced a tragedy-maybe like Shannon said ' I'm glad not gonna be the child';the child is the non-existed victim. I believed April still love him. She has just accidentally done wrong.
Perhaps Valentine's day should be spent on romantic candle-light dinner or immersed yourself in a completely enjoyable love-dating. In fact, Verycd.com put this movie as Valentine's day movies might indicate that something must be treasured by any couples. I've not been any relationship yet but I know love isn't just what about satisfication to a man's desires.
This movie is the best movie I've watched so far in 2009. Below are some movies i watched recently which worth to be watched (indicating my favourite list):
- Barcelona at midnight
- The reader
- Seven Pounds
- The Curious Case of Benjamin Button a piece of movies

barcelona at midnight is crap..
unless u r looking for some hot scenes,
(scarlett johansson is freaking hot!)
Vicky Christina Barcelona to me is like a comic, quite enjoyably light and easy. Nice shot anyway.
I agree with you, the content quite meaningless.
