"No one forgets the truth, Frank. They just get better at lying."

Being a huge Kate Winslet fan I really wanted to see Revolutionary Road as soon as it came out, but Brandon resisted because he thought it would be too depressing. He was right. It's never enjoyable to watch the disintegration of a relationship, no matter how well acted it is. I am glad we finally watched it, though. Winslet and Leo have such great chemistry, even if it's negative chemistry. Their fights feel real and carry so much weight, which is probably owed to their deep real life friendship. It is uncomfortable to watch, and sad, and moving, and difficult, but ultimately sometimes it's cathartic to experience movies like that.
