One of the most famous living actors. A vicious man who is not too eager to talk to journalists. The man behind the screen so not like the images that each viewer has his own Leonardo DiCaprio. Try to remember what he did best.
The best role of Leonardo DiCaprio in 30 years: a review “the Movie”
This guy’s life
Leonardo DiCaprio, as we know, began acting since the age of two, parents are happy to have added son in TV show, commercials and TV shows, he’s pretty fast even had his own agent. DiCaprio has become known, has received awards for their roles, and even appeared in the TV series “Santa Barbara”. But the boy was clearly not enough, and he was destined to a completely different life. It started when Leonardo had reached the age of seventeen. The Robert De Niro chose him among the 400 other boys for the lead role in the film “this boy’s Life”. DiCaprio was to play with him in a pair, and the young actor handled it brilliantly, which was noted by American critics. Troubled boy, which conflicts with troubled stepfather, lives with his distressed mother and befriends a troubled classmate is gay – a great challenge for the young, albeit a professional performer. DiCaprio used the expression – and won.

What’s eating Gilbert Grape?
Play paired with DeNiro a major role in 17 years – is not a limit of dreams? But in 1993 about DiCaprio all in connection with the picture, where he played in tandem with then superstar johnny Depp. Depp also has watched a lot of young actors and also chose DiCaprio among many other candidates, and the role of Leonardo was also a very difficult – demented teenager, with whom his elder brother need to constantly look for contact. The star was Depp, and DiCaprio’s role is clearly secondary, but the only nomination for “Golden globe” and “Oscar” was a young actor, and from that moment, DiCaprio was among the elect, before any mention of his name in the press was pometochki about his involvement in the main national film award.

The basketball diaries
Streetball, girls, fights, drugs – it’s time for DiCaprio to play this boy-bad guy, but not simple, and very talented, a guy with a future. Which we still live, especially given the constant hallucinations where he shoots people with a gun. To millions of viewers of this film, it was obvious that from the kid, to which molested him in the shower, the coach, would become a famous poet and musician Jim Carroll. But DiCaprio is so merged with the role that the Carroll quickly forgotten: in front of the audience was a bundle of nerves, who lived on the edge screen one situation after another.

Total Eclipse
DiCaprio could not be here to play to the limit: it was approved for the role after it received the river Phoenix died of a drug overdose, and hardly anyone expected that DiCaprio will be able to adequately replace him. By the way, it is believed that in “the basketball diaries” was supposed to play Phoenix, but actually he refused, because would not be able convincingly to portray 15-year-old boy. But Arthur Rimbaud was good for him as it is impossible by the way, and how this image was translated Leonardo DiCaprio, there is a subtle shade of Requiem for a brilliant colleague. The role of Rimbaud as a friend and lover of Paul Verlaine, assumed a certain courage, but DiCaprio it was not to occupy. The commercial success of the film was not, but the cult status it retains to this day.

Romeo + Juliet
With this picture began a new period in the life of DiCaprio. If he was an actor “adult” drama movie, which is more fond of criticism than the broad masses, it is now turned into a lover, which dries Schoolgirls all countries. Shakespeare’s text was the occasion for the youth of the postmodern blockbuster with guns and kisses. DiCaprio plays a little less subtly than before, but the emotional degree it is not reduced. The death scene of Mercutio played at the limit of human capabilities, and from-for it the picture worth seeing.

Titanic
Not superstars, but on the first place among all and Sundry – after “Titanic,” DiCaprio of the person has become a symbol, a picture on a t-shirt, a dream of any woman regardless of age. Retro romance about a poor painter who fell in love with the aristocrat in first class steamship the Titanic, surprising even to the authors of the film became a cash record fee in the history of cinema. Moreover, it has become a phenomenon of mass culture, its mid-term point in the transition to the XXI century and at the same time a bridge between the generations because of a tragic love of the young couple cried all the ages.

Celebrity
Did DiCaprio is such glory? Unlikely. Because it is more never in life played a lover boy, and a man in love, as it involves commercial genre cinema, too. This acting of asceticism the world has ever seen. There were a couple of cases, which may be called exceptions (and disastrous exceptions), but overall, DiCaprio himself has not changed. And shortly after “Titanic” has confirmed gravity of the intentions, playing on woody Allen, which for any actor is a sign of the highest quality. So DiCaprio played the role of the second plan, but still one that many felt samovarova: starlet goes the roof suddenly fell from glory. DiCaprio in the life of a very serious man, but to make fun of yourself always ready. And woody Allen is that he really helped.

Gangs Of New York
A few years after “Titanic,” DiCaprio as if he couldn’t find a place for himself in film. All he had to offer was either repetition or commercial DIY where to play him it was nothing and just not interesting. The turning point in his career happened when Martin Scorsese, who is also the first year were once a creative crisis, called for DiCaprio to star in “gangs of new York” – a cruel and monumental film about immigration in the United States. Leonardo DiCaprio had never played such a brutal character, never played the leader has never had the on screen carnage. The worldwide audience was first dumbfounded, and then came to the incredible enthusiasm from the sight. Although among the 10 Oscar nominations the film was not one for DiCaprio, it became clear that this friendship must be continued and strengthened.

Apostates
Remarkable example of this collaboration is a remake of Hong Kong COP Thriller, too hard, uncompromising, but not monumental, and dynamic, as if not a living classic, and the nervous young genius. An incredible number of stars in the company with DiCaprio overshadowed the merits of his game. For the role of undercover COP he was nominated for a Golden globe, but “academics” he was again ignored. At this point, napryajenie DiCaprio statuettes have been considered not so much unjust, as simply ridiculous.

Beginning
Despite the fact that the film instantly became a cult classic, remaining still and commercial hit, it became clear: DiCaprio again as if there is nothing to play. Not too interested in. Just be the hero of the Thriller, just to participate in large-scale action scenes filled with special effects, and just all the drama in the amounts that can afford commercial cinema is boring. And although close to the “Beginning” is another remarkable film “shutter Island”, DiCaprio in there does not show anything new compared to their past works. It became clear just what he increasingly gravitates towards the negative, and not just complex characters.

Django unchained
And an antihero is best to be Tarantino. This bastard in the career of DiCaprio: at the sight of his bloodthirsty planter hand the viewer she reaches for the holster, even if it is in fact not. He said that “Oscar” for a supporting role from DiCaprio in the pocket, but the Academy chose not to see this film, much more vivid than caressed her in the following year “12 years of slavery” on the same subject.

The Great Gatsby
Here DiCaprio suddenly appeared in a completely new way. Indeed, the best candidate for the role of Gatsby to think it would be impossible, and given that the film itself is similar to the presentation of the book Fitzgerald seemed to be on behalf of Gatsby, “Oscar” as if he floated DiCaprio in his hands. And again, nothing, despite the warm reception of the film in Cannes where it opened the festival.

The wolf of wall street
The topic of financial fraud Academy much more interesting and much closer, then DiCaprio came to pass, at least in the nominees. The film was a huge financial success, DiCaprio plays a skilled and cunning businessman playing the stock exchange, earning money with the help of a team of adventurers millions and leading the most unbridled way of life that you can imagine.

Survivors
Steeped in myths and legends the film, describing the fantastic story of revenge, brought DiCaprio long-awaited triumph – “Oscar”. Implausible story, like a grotesque retelling stories of the North Jack London, DiCaprio played as if it’s documentary footage of his personal journey through the impossible. Academics, which did not touch the dramatic talent of the artist, always very appreciated the overcoming of physical obstacles, and although DiCaprio didn’t lose weight for role on 30 kilograms, such grueling conditions for the United States are rare. Since then, however, “Oscar” has lost the main intrigue that has long fueled interest in him.

Save the planet (Before the flood)
From the stage, DiCaprio spoke about his journey in film, and on environmental issues. In 2014, the actor was appointed UN messenger of peace on climate issues, and it was clear that this problem has long occupied him far more than film vanity fair. In a new documentary he talks about his discoveries, and although the scenes are set “Alive”, then Donald trump, it is clear that DiCaprio has given to the fight against global warming with all his characteristic passion. And probably if you would have asked him what his film he considers important, he would call this. By the way, Oscar had already got the documentary about global warming, so following the ceremony now, too, there is intrigue, and again, thanks to DiCaprio.
