I thought he was amazing the first time I saw him, in What's eating Gilbert Grape - one of his best performances. After that, some roles put him in a lesser spot, until he was given good oportunities again by good directors as Scorsese and Christopher Nolan.<br /><br />Joe, have you seen any movie by Terence Malick? If not, you should, in a day that you feel your soul is ready to fly away.

Had the story not been so focused on a quest for revenge, but more on survival for the sake of it, I think I'd have enjoyed it more. I agree when you say Tom Hardy's character was somewhat disappointing. Not his fault, the actor is still amazing.<br />But when it comes to technical aspects, the film excels. Once again, they've achieved greatness in cinematography, the shots are very well thought out, the lengthy shots make it for good cinema, and the special effects were good. The bear fight still hunts me to some extent. I, too, was very upset by all the horses being killed.<br />In general, I thought this was a good film, but most definitely one that I don't need to ever watch again.<br />That being said, DiCaprio deserved all the fuzz. It was really good acting. And I loved seeing him up on that stage receiving his Oscar and giving a good, relevant speech :)<br /><br />[ j ][ joe ]https://www.blogger.com/profile/17528042707758318530noreply@blogger.com
