Revolutionary Road starring Leornado DiCapario and Kate Winslet is at its core, a self-examination of suburban life and the dullness of being trapped in its empty hollowness.Despite top billings, it fails to passed off as a movie worthy of any positive value.It is also premised on a weak story-line.
Frank and April Wheeler, a young couple moved into Revolutionary Road in the 1950s. She is discontented being a housewife and yearn for a working life after her failure to sustain an acting career. Frank,on the other hand, feels that working in sales for a machine company is a rut he has to get out to have some meaningful life.
So the couple decided to uproot and leave for Paris. Little did they know that April would become pregnant to scuttle this plan. Frank's involvement with a lady in the typing pool and April's one-night stand with her neigbour spells doom for the Wheelers.
April dies while trying to abort the unborn child leaving Frank no choice but to go back to the city to take care of the kids.
Even though, the Wheelers were considered model residents in Revolutionary Road, opinions changed when they left. A new family was now touted to be; taking the place of the Wheelers who are now completely forgotten. However, the death episode of April Wheeler lingers....
Generally dull,boring and only God knows why it has been brought to the silver screen in the first place.
