Historically speaking, performances rise and fall in popularity/ favour. Its one of the things I love so much about movies in general. They never stop living.
When Titanic first came out, Leo was famously snubbed for the role of JD. Many people thought it was a simple and unimpressive performance (everything was nominated including the iceberg but Leo missed out!) but now (26 years on) people feel that what Kate and Leo achieved was central to the films enormous successes.
I personally love the Revenant and believe in time, that it will build back up in popularity along with Leo’s truly Oscar worthy performance.

Loved the idea of a ‘Leo’s most attractive movie moments’ list so much that I created mine. I haven’t included a few for obvious reasons (critters 3, dons plum, the foot shooting party or any of the short films like the audition etc). Here’s mine below:
The departed - No explanation needed
Romeo and Juliet - It all started here for me
Titanic - Iconic, Eyes!!!!
Blood diamond - Muscles!!!
Catch me if you can - Soo charming
The great Gatsby - Enigmatic
Inception - Action man
Gangs of New York - That chest scene!
Marvin’s room - Just beautiful
The Wolf of Wall Street - Naughty
Once upon a time in Hollywood - Relatable
Shutter island - Nice tie haha
The Aviator - Scenes with KB
Revolutionary Road - Looks good in 50’s shirt
The Basketball Diaries - Rain sequence
Celebrity - Hotel sequence
Body of lies - Where are those deleted scenes
The man in the iron mask - Two of him
The revenant - Manly Leo in the wild haha
The beach - Shirtless
Don’t look up - Smart and cute
—————————-
Can’t say I find him hot after this point but still love the performances!!!

The quick and the dead
Total eclipse
J Edgar
Django unchained
What’s eating Gilbert grape

Also Bradley cooper. Reviews for Maestro are strong.
I have to say I thought Cillian was excellent in Oppenheimer though. It’s an understated and restrained performance but he carries the film.
Obviously I’m rooting for Leo.
It will likely be one of those three.
I thought the trailer for Napoleon made Joaquin Phoenix look quite bad. I’m not sure he’ll be in the race this year.

On Leo’s facial expressions, I remember Marty saying once that he could have belonged to the silent movie era. He also said the below about him recently:
“What’s great about Leo, and it’s why we work together so often, is he goes there. He goes to these weird places that are so difficult and convoluted, and through the convolution, somehow there’s a clarity that we reach,” Scorsese said.
He continued: “And usually it’s in the expression, in his face, in his eyes. I’ve always told him this. He’s a natural film actor. I could shoot a close-up of him, he could be thinking of nothing, and I could intercut anything with it, and people will say, ‘Oh, he’s reacting to such and such’. It’s the Kuleshov experiment. You could do that with him”.
Scorsese didn’t stop there, though, and he continued to lavish praise on one of his most frequent collaborators. “There’s something in his face that the camera locks into, in his eyes,” the director added. “The slightest movement, we know it. Thelma [Schoonmaker], editing his footage with me over the years, often goes, ‘Look at this. Look at the eye movement here. I think we should keep it.’ It’s very interesting what goes on behind the eyes. It’s all there.”

Leo’s at the centre of a growing media debate on age gaps. The debate doesn’t seem to be slowing down ( in fact it seems to be growing in aggression)
Im just amazed his representation doesn’t seem to have cottoned on to this yet. They need to pick up on their responsiveness to these accusations. By the time they release an anonymous statement to page 6, all of the news sites (daily fail, just Jared etc) and the podcasts have already run their damming stories and it’s too late. No one cares if it’s clarified after the fact. They are not going to go back and correct themselves.
Taylor Swifts representation is on this sort of thing immediately with a statement to all of the outlets.

It’s so annoying though. Every time something like this gets printed everyone just blindly believes it and it starts off a barrage of hate directed at Leo.
He doesn’t even have to be involved anymore. He’s blamed for Al Pacino, for Robert DeNiro, for Phillip ScofieldIm beginning to think that people would actually rather see Leo cancelled than have these accusations be false! Like it’s the sport of cancelling someone (the which hunt).

So excited!
I wonder when he’ll arrive in Cannes?
Also wonder when/ if they’ll lift the embargo on reviews.

I wonder what parties Leo will be at during this years Cannes. I imagine he’ll be at both of the events mentioned in this article:

Leo is a man of the world. He doesn’t belong to any one country or any one woman. It’s actually a really progressive way of living. I think more traditionalist/ puritan people struggle with accepting this way of life but I personally approve! I’m sure he’s an incredibly interesting person to be with/ around because his life experiences are so abundant and unique!

Could Vineland be Leo’s next project… Sounds interesting…

Leonardo DiCaprio - (Please Read First Post Prior to Posting)
in Male Actors
Yaaas! Seeing it on Friday.
Could I politely ask anyone seeing the film (I include myself in this) that we keep the site spoiler free. I somehow have managed to stay ignorant about the ending so far and would love it to stay that way untill I see the film 😂🤣
