i like motion pictures

it's common knowledge i'm not a fan of DiCaprio. many think he's overdue for an Oscar. i think he looks the same in every film, as differently as he tried to look from Titanic to J. Edgar. he was good in Gangs of New York, in Blood Diamond, in Shutter Island, in Django Unchained. he grew into a good actor, but he's not a great actor. when actors are in this limbo, they grab at a role like Hugh Glass. it is painful, it is ugly and it is made for awards. but it doesn't make one a great actor. Redmayne, Fassbender, Cranston - that's acting. if what they did was 2.5 reverse somersaults plus 2.5 twists, DiCaprio's was flinging himself off a 30-metre cliff.
