I Am Grateful For One Thing...

Truly wonderful and outstandingly brilliant, "Revolutionary Road" brings all facets of marriage, love, relationships, children, disappointment, and realizations to the forefront of the lives of Frank and April Wheeler, two mediocre citizens of a suburban nightmare.
While at once tackling the complex romance-lessness of marriage, this film also expresses a yearning for greatness...something to be remembered about. Who among us do not feel like the man or woman of this couple sometime in our romantic lives?
Sam Mendes [aka Mr. Kate Winselt] brings a vividly stunning cinematographer with an outstanding screenwriter and three of the greatest screen talents alive today and melds them together with relative simplicity and ease. Michael Shannon's outstanding performance left me in tears, as did the twisted, brilliant ending. See this movie.
