movie was adapted from the novel of the same name by Richard Yates, directed by Sam Mendes (who is also Winslet's husband), and had "American Beauty" (1999) and "Road to Perdition" (2002) and so on.
The movie tagline is: How do you break free without breaking apart?
The love of two people, flawless and lingering, will only be the first few years. How many partners can be so loving and carefree every day? The background of the story is Connecticut (Connecticut) in the 1950s. April (Kate Winslet) is a stage actor, meets Frank (Leonardo DiCaprio), then gets married, and then has two children. Life is hard, and his wife is on stage Without satisfactory results, the husband worked as an ordinary clerk in a large company, the same company that his father worked for decades. Every day, life became more and more meaningless.
Young couples, feel every day After being devoured and quarreling again and again, Frank even had an affair with a female employee of the company. His wife looked at Frank's previous photos in France, so she came up with a dream that makes everyone hopeful~ It is to sell the house and move the family to Paris to rebuild Start. Work to support the family, let Frank do what he wants to do.
Love each other and give for each other, shouldn't you be able to solve any problems? No, life is not like that.
Neighbor and real estate businesswoman Mrs. Helen Givings (Kathy Bates) came over by chance to chat with April, and mentioned that he has a recovering son John Givings (Michael Shannon / this role earned him a best supporting actor nomination), a mathematician, I hope to introduce my son to this young couple, so that his son can live a new life.
An idea that seems crazy and childish to outsiders is wise in the eyes of John Givings. You think John is crazy, but he is actually a wise man. He sees everything, than You are a higher line.
To realize your dreams, you need courage and adventure. April is an actor, a dreamer, and a woman with courage. She hopes that with her pure heart, the world can never be the same again. It won't change, it doesn't matter how much you love each other. The
photography is very good. I like the scenes of Frank working every day, every working man seems to be the same, in the 1950s, a hat, a briefcase, no The office in a private space.
Maybe many people said that the movie was too sad, "prepared to fight", but I didn't think it was sad, but of course there were tears. Especially the scene of April making breakfast. Later, that scene reminded me of the movie "Vera Drake" (self-abortion scene), shocking.
Kate Winslet played very well. Definitely a movie series. Leonardo DiCaprio is actually good, but he is more like a brother than a husband.
Kathy Bates does not play a role. Much, but you won't forget every scene she's in. Loved the "deafness" of her husband Howard Givings (Richard Easton) in the last scene. Perhaps the bond between two people is to know when to close your ears.
There are very few children's scenes in the movie, mainly around the story of the two couples, but also their good friends and couples.
It is worth watching.
