Hi ! I thought you would like to see some reviews I found online. I found them very interesting to read what other people thought of the films.I decided to screenshot the reviews just for Titanic and Revolutionary Road because they have Kate and Leo in together. Enjoy!
Presenter: For my project I am doing the relationship between Kate Winslet and Leonardo DiCaprio and how they partnership is so special, on-screen and off-screen. I am also looking at their performances together on the 2 films they have been with together, and then 2 films that Winslet and DiCaprio have been separately.
Presenter: In this presentation I will cover (display them as bullet points on P.P )
Explain that Revolutionary Road
Mention the other three films I will be looking at (Titanic/Inception/The Holiday)
Talk about G.G and T.H as they are the two films that Winslet and DiCaprio star in separately
Quotes Kate and Leo have said: "laugh at the same things...she never lets me take myself seriously, even if I wanted to. We have a special magic". LEO
"We needed each other to lean on because we were very young and working all kinds of crazy bloody hours, and it was a shock to the system" KATE Show these on PowerPoint as pictures
Photos: Kate and Leo in Titanic and then in Revolutionary Road. Show the difference in aging
Presenter: I think that the performance in this scene is really good because you can see the pain in Leo/Dom's eyes when his wife is about to commit suicide. This is a very sad scene to watch
What people have thought of Leo's performance: Show screenshots on P.P
Presenter: I really like this scene because I think it is very calm and romantic - this is when Rose and Jack start to fall in love. The scene starts off with Jack looking out at sea and then Rose calls Jack looks at Rose in amaze and they way DiCaprio showed the audience that Jack was in love with Rose was his eye-contact and facial expressions. The next clip I am going to show you is an re-enactment of the "I'm flying" scene but Leo is with Jonah Hill.
Hi guys!! On 26th December I watched Inception. So I thought I would write a review on what I thought about it.
At first, I found the begging quite hard to follow which made it really confusing and difficult to watch. I think after half an hour or so into the film I started to enjoy it and understand it a lot more. I thought the idea of dreaming and reality was a very good idea. The visual effects in this film was very good because it made the storyline really realistic which was very clever.
My favourite scene from the film was when Dom (DiCaprio) saw his wife (Marion Cotillard) commit suicide. I know that this scene is very upsetting because it is the moment Dom loses his wife, but I feel that the performances in this are really good. DiCaprio's performance in this clip is really good because he uses all sort of hand gestures in this scene and also by the way he is speaking it is very convincing. Cotillard performed also really well because she has to pretend that she is crazy and is about to commit suicide because she still thinks that she is in a dream not reality. She feels that the only way to 'wake up' from her dream was get a 'kick' (used to wake up the person dreaming suddenly). At the start of the clip you see Dom stepping into the hotel room looking for his wife, which he then finds out is outside about to jump off the opposite building. Dom does a lot of persuading to do, this is shown by stern words and eye-contact, towards his wife but it still doesn't convince Mal that she is in reality.
Hi guys! I'm back and today I am going to compare Titanic and Revolutionary in terms of performance. I will talk about the performance in a scene from both and explain the performance, and then lastly I will compare each performance.
Titanic performance:
I really like this scene
because this is when Rose and Jack share their first kiss – the scene is when
Rose says “I’m flying Jack”. The scene
starts off with Jack starting out at sea and then Rose appears, Jack asks Rose
to grab his hand which she does and he leads her to go in front of him.Jack grabs Rose’s other hand and leads her
onto the top step of the deck (Rose has her eyes closed when this is all
happening).Jack tells Rose to open her
eyes and this is when she says “I’m flying Jack, I’m flying”.
The performance in this scene
is breathtaking because as the scene goes on you see that both characters
become more comfortable together and then start to trust each other. Especially
Rose, in this scene she finally starts to trust Jack.Jack (Leonardo DiCaprio) acting in this scene
is remarkable.This is because at the
start of the scene you see Jack surprised to see Rose coming towards him.Afterwards, he seems to take it all in and
becomes more relaxed. You can tell he became more relaxed by his facial expressions.
In an interview once, Kate said that she is embarassed by her Titanic performance - she said "even my American accent, I can't listen to it". This shows that
Even though as an audience member I thought it was really good and very confincing, Kate doesn't think so.
Revolutionary Road performance:
This scene is a lot different than Titanic because this is when Frank and April have a fight after April's first show at the theatre. The scene starts off with an awkward silence in the car and then Frank pulls over and starts to slowly have a go at April. This then turns into a very heated argument and it ends in April stepping outside the car and have a cigarette in order to calm down. As Titanic is one of my favorite and I love the chemistry between Jack and Rose, I found watching this scene very difficult to watch as both characters are fighting all the time.
In this film Winslet had to do an American accent again. I still think it is amazing and Kate did a really good job.
Hi guys! Today I am going to write a review on Revolutionary Road, the 2nd film that DiCaprio and Winslet starred in together.
At first, I thought that this film was really interesting because it started from the past (when April and Frank first met). After within 15 minutes watching it I did start to get a little bit uncomfortable watching it. It is completely different from Titanic because Titanic is a romantic film whereas Revolutionary Road is drama. I didn't like the fact that most of the scenes were about the 2 characters (April and Frank arguing all the time)
My favourite scene from the film was when April (Winslet) and Frank (DiCaprio) had their first major fight and this caused a lot of tension between the couple. Kate and Leo's performances in this scene are incredible because they change emotion twice through out the scene which is very hard to do, and also when both characters shout each other it is very realistic.
Hi guys! This blog today is about comparing Titanic and Revolutionary Road. I have included some similarities and differences.
Both films have Kate Winslet, Leonardo DiCaprio and Kathy Bates in them.

In both films they mention Paris - in Titanic you see Rose looking at Jack's drawings he drew on French women in Paris and then in Revolutionary Road April wants to move to Paris to become an actress.
Titanic scene when Rose looks at Jack's drawings
Titanic is a very romantic film and Rose and Jack are clearly deeply in love, Rose says to Jack "When the ship docks, I'm getting off with you" so this shows she is going to leave Cal for Jack. However in Revolutionary Road, Frank and April DID love each other but then later on life they gradually started hating each other. They were in a difficult and violent marriage - I found it quite hard to watch because I love Rose and Jack's love.
Titanic
Revolutionary Road
In Revolutionary Road April dies and then in Titanic Jack dies.
Titanic's genre is romantic and Revolutionary Road's is drama
Revolutionary Road is set in the late 1940's whereas Titanic is set in 1912 (28 years apart)
