Revolutionary Road was hard to watch. I liked it a lot, right from the first fight, and in a few scenes I was wondering what else was going on in their heads. So I bought the novel it was based on, and read it a week after seeing the movie, and that made it even better - deepened it and made me cringe even more, embarrassed and sad and despairing for all of them and for myself. I'm not comparing myself to Kate Winslet and Leonardo diCaprio by any stretch of the imagination, but I can see myself so well in so much of what they said and left unsaid.
