They refused to kiss each other in the movie
Fans of Titanic’s star-crossed lovers Jack and Rose were clamoring for seats to Revolutionary Road’s premiere. For the first time, they were able to witness their favorite on-screen couple together, even if they were playing quite different roles. (I can only imagine the shock!) Sam Mendes, the director of Titanic, was Winslet’s husband at the time of the film’s production, hence the two actors declined to kiss in the picture. Consider the fact that performers don’t want to be pigeonholed and remembered just for one role they’ve played. As far as I know, none of them had any fond recollections of Titanic.
Reactions to Revolutionary Road were mixed, to say the least. Despite the disappointment, we believe the film provided spectators plenty more to digest!
