Leonardo DiCaprio, known as the "Little Plum" in China, must be the male god in the minds of many men, women and children. This hard-working young man has now turned into a fat middle-aged man. Although her appearance has always been online, her figure has long betrayed her playful and cute soul.
But having said that, not every superstar can be confident in his appearance. So many years of hard work and tempering have also brought him many excellent film works, and it is because of his excellence that these works are popular with everyone. Keep it in mind, let us take a look at the classic works that this handsome and powerful performing artist has brought us.
1 "Inception"
Role played: Dream Inception Dom Cobb
Douban score: 9.3
IMDb score: 8.8
As a collector of great directors, how can DiCaprio be without the unparalleled genius Christopher Nolan. The first collaboration between the two gave the world a fantastic feast.
Like "Shutter Island", which was released in the same year, the character played by DiCaprio is not in a good mental state and has a beautiful wife who only lives in his memory. The performances in the two movies are completely different. On the one hand, he is completely lost, and on the other hand, he is on the edge of being lost, but wants to work hard to return to reality.
"Inception" is also another worldwide phenomenon-level work by Xiao Li after "Titanic". Even if there are no other equally excellent movies, Leonardo DiCaprio is already destined to be famous. History.
2 "Cat and Mouse Game"
Role played: Fraudster Frank Abagnale Jr.
Douban score: 8.8
IMDb score: 8.1
Before "The Aviator", DiCaprio also collaborated with Spielberg, Tom Hanks "Cat and Mouse Game" has a very high reputation.
At this time, Xiao Li still had the good looks to charm thousands of girls, and his good looks also became an important aid for him to commit fraud in the film.
At such a young age, he was unambiguous when playing against the seasoned Tom Hanks. Frank, the little mouse, was able to play around with Carl, the cat, largely due to Xiao Li's personal temperament. and confident performance, otherwise the audience will not be convinced at all, and will only think that this is just a plot based on the myth of Frank, and they will not think that the movie is actually an adaptation of a real person. The miracles performed by Frank in the film did happen in reality.
In addition, the person who plays the emotional scene with Xiao Li is Amy Adams .
3 "Shutter Island"
Role played: Policeman Teddy Daniels
Douban score: 8.7
IMDb score: 8.1
Another collaboration with Martin Scorsese , but this time it is not a gangster film or a biopic, but a suspense The thriller "Shutter Island". This is also a brain-burning type that was very rare for DiCaprio before. Unexpectedly, in 2010, he would come up with two such movies at once.
In addition to the various details and major twists in the movie itself, Xiao Li's performance of Teddy, who is mentally troubled and emotionally tense, is also a highlight of the whole movie.
He seems to be very good at characters with unstable mental states. Five years ago, Howard Hughes in "The Aviator" came to an end because he suffered from obsessive-compulsive disorder.
His partner is still a queen-level female supporting actor, this time it is Golden Globe Award winner Michelle Williams . The emotional scene between the two also slightly alleviated the extremely depressive atmosphere of the movie, but also because of them The emotional line makes the movie even more depressing and confusing.
4 " Django Unchained "
Role played: Landlord Calvin Candie
Douban score: 8.6
IMDb score: 8.4
There are certainly not enough great directors who have worked with DiCaprio on one hand, and Quentin is just one of them. But it was one of these that gave Xiao Lizi another big breakthrough in his acting career.
In "Django Unchained", he played the villain Calvin Candie, a cruel and brutal representative of evil. This time, he really performed like a god. In one scene, he subconsciously smashed the glass on the table, and his hand was injured and covered in blood. Quentin also had a tacit understanding and did not stop, and Calvin's viciousness was also vividly displayed.
With this cooperation, people are even more looking forward to what kind of crazy the two people's new work "Once Upon a Time in Hollywood" in 2019 will turn out to be.
5 "Titanic"
Role played: Poor painter Jack Dawson
Douban score: 9.3
IMDb score: 7.8
The whole world got to know Leonardo DiCaprio and his elegant demeanor through "Titanic" , got to know his youthful and unruly nature. This classic
also established his box office appeal and directly made him a first-line movie star. But what is certain is that that may be the peak of his appearance, but it is definitely not the peak of his acting skills.
Because the influence of the movie was so great, it also fixed DiCaprio's screen image. Fortunately, he later worked hard to get rid of the label of "little fresh meat", proving that he is definitely worthy of this film history. classic.
6 "The Revenant"
Role played by: Hunter Hugh Glass
Douban score: 7.8
IMDb score: 8.0
Finally "made it happen", DiCaprio sacrificed a lot. In addition to filming in the wild in the wind and snow, eating raw fish, he even broke his vegetarianism and ate raw beef liver.
Of course, hard work alone is not enough. Winning the Best Actor still depends on Xiao Li's own acting skills. When the audience sees the desire to survive and the will for revenge on Hugh Glass's face, everything is expressed without relying on lines, and he has succeeded.
However, the pace of the whole movie is relatively slow, and there are very few lines that can easily make people sleepy. Maybe this is a movie more suitable for movie theaters.
The protagonist Hugh Glass is also a real person in history. This is at least the fifth time that Xiao Li has played a real-life legend.
7. Role played: Smuggler Danny Archer
Douban score: 8.5
IMDb score: 8.0
In 2006, in addition to the US version of "Infernal Affairs", DiCaprio also brought a realistic theme "Blood Diamond". At this time, Xiao Li already had a full beard and looked completely different from the "Aviator" two years ago.
The more mature Xiao Li also gave a more mature performance. Danny has a very obvious role change, and the story itself is quite solid. The audience can clearly see "Diamond Lies" in this adventurous story, which can be said to be very unique. It has practical significance.
and his co-star Jennifer Connelly are also representatives of the powerful group, and the final scene between the two of them was heart-wrenching to watch. Although the
movie unfortunately failed to enter the Oscar Best Picture nomination list, it once again gave Leonardo DiCaprio a chance to hit the Oscar winner . This was his second time, and as we all know, it didn't work out.
8 "Different Sky"
Role played: Arnie Grape, a mentally retarded patient
Douban score: 8.6
IMDb score: 7.8
"Different Sky" is an excellent proof of Leonardo DiCaprio's acting talent. At a young age and not yet experienced in the world, he had to play the role of a mentally retarded person. It would be difficult to do it if he didn't know how to act at all.
It is precisely because he was not deeply involved in the world that Li Zizi had a kind of pure and natural innocence at that time, so that his "naughty child" performance in the film can make people hate him.
With his scene-stealing performance in this film, Xiao Li received an Oscar nomination for Best Supporting Actor at the age of 20.
In addition, his combination with Johnny Depp, who is at the peak of his appearance and has not yet gone to sea as "Captain Jack Sparrow", is also hailed as a classic, similar to how Pony and Ben became gay friends after filming "Good Will Hunting". They also forged a brotherhood because of "Different Sky".
It is a pity that the two have never been in the same movie again. I hope I can see them again in my lifetime.
9 " The Wolf of Wall Street"
Role played: Stock Broker Jordan Belfort
Douban Rating: 7.7
IMDb Rating: 8.2
In 2013, it was the fifth collaboration between Leonardo DiCaprio and Martin Scorsese, just like "The Aviator". "The Wolf of Wall Street" is also a biopic that recreates a crazy American legend.
It’s just that this time Xiao Li acted a little too hard. This kind of madness is more like a catharsis for missing the Oscar winner. What the movie left is more of a variety of exaggerated expressions.
Of course, the movie is the work of Martin Scorsese after all. I thought it was an inspirational film at first, but as the plot progressed, it turned into a crime film, then an adult film, and finally a black comedy. Humanity was gained in the process. Realistic display.
Leonardo DiCaprio, who was nominated for the Oscar for the third time, once again accompanied everyone. After all, Matthew McConaughey lost more than 30 pounds for the performance of Dallas Buyers Club and he really deserved it.
10 "The Aviator"
Role played: Hollywood producer Howard Hughes
Douban score: 7.9
IMDb score: 7.5
This is a very, very, very important work for Leonardo DiCaprio. In this After the movie, we can no longer see the sunny and handsome Li Zi, the 30-year-old greasy uncle is officially on the line.
Taking on the role of Martin Scorsese's "The Aviator" was a very important decision for him, and it undoubtedly changed the trajectory of his life. Before this, he mostly gave people the impression of being a vase, but this film with a male protagonist shows his gradually mature acting skills.
He needs to play the legendary tycoon Howard Hughes, a paranoid and domineering rich second generation. The difficult part is not only the characters' weird personalities, but also the age span from 20 to 50 years old. The characters' mentality changes with the plot, which is not easy for idol actors to do. The
movie proves that Leonardo really does not belong to the idol group. He is already tired of being a handsome boy. Personal image is no longer important. For an actor, what is more important is character image.
In the scene opposite "The Devil" Cate Blanchett , he recreated how Howard Hughes pursued the Hollywood actress Katherine Hepburn . Especially the eye scene, which is an important means for DiCaprio to interpret his character in addition to flirting with girls.
So when watching this film, in addition to appreciating Martin Scorsese's camera and soundtrack, the beauty of Queen Kate and the Queen of the Night, you should also pay attention to Xiao Li's eyes, which are full of inner drama.
With this performance, DiCaprio received his first Oscar nomination for Best Actor and a Golden Globe Award for Best Actor.
