Movie Haiku:Rich was deeply moved by DiCaprio''s depiction of a twarted mid-20th Century suburbanite, but Jan thought film was a total mess--didn''t understand either character. Was wife (Winslet) supposed to be bipolar, channeling Betty Friedan before her time, or what??? Did clues in novel make it to film? SPLIT DECISION!!!
