Years ago, several friends and I gathered together to share a love for actor Leonardo Dicaprio and his works. It was right around the time he hit it big with his movie,
Titanic. For some of us, it was his handsome face that caught our attention, for others it was simply his acting. But for most it was definetly those handsome features! For me however, it was his approach towards the media and his love for our earth.
Yes, I can agree Leonardo Dicaprio had several great movies, like:
- The Quick and the Dead
- This Boy's Life
- The Man in the Iron Mask
- The Basketball Diaries
- The Beach
- Blood Diamond
- Romeo + Juliet
- What's Eating Gilbert Grape
- Catch Me If You Can
- Titanic
As you can see, the actor had a variety of roles over the years that fans cherished him for. But in the more recent years, Leonardo Dicaprio hasn't been doing as well in his chosen roles, or at least that's how I viewed it. Maybe it's just my own personal opinion, but even his most recent movie "The Aviator", wasn't an eye-catcher flick for me. In fact, since the release of the movie, I've lost interest in his acting. "The Aviator" I honestly found to be quite boring.
And let me tell you, it wasn't that I just wasn't giving his work a chance. I considered the idea that maybe, just maybe I had outgrown the actor or his latest movie just wasn't a role I found to be my style. Unfortunatly, I came to the conculsion that it wasn't that I had outgrown his chosen roles or that "The Aviator" just wasn't my cup of tea. After his more recent role, I waited and watched two other movies, The Departed, which wasn't boring, but also didn't hold my interest, and "Revolutionary Road" with "Titanic" co-star Kate Winslet, which I found to be as boring as "The Aviator."
So I wonder is it just me? Opinons anyone? What are your thoughts about the actor? I do understand his passion and involvement for the earth, but maybe there's a possibility that he's just grown tired of acting? No matter the reason, I hope for his sake he can continue to pull off his success as an actor (not a boy toy) and environmentalist in the years to come. After all, what better role model whom he idolizes in a sense than actor Robert De Niro who is still loved by fans and the entertainment industry to this day.
