Lol, ok. Just vibes. He’s objectively successful by all measures, and has been for decades. Top directors like him and want to work with him, but you would never, because he “sucks”. |
| It's always interesting and kind of funny how worked up some of you get in these discussions that are purely opinion based and really not that important. |
Joaquin Phoenix is a better actor than Leo. Leo is more charming and was better looking in his heyday. |
|
There's also something electric about live theater, and being present when an actor is holding everyone in the room.
I once decades ago was lucky enough to see Ian McKellen live and he was absolutely riveting, the entire room was hanging on his speech. |
| Leo seems like Leo in every role IMO. DDL always seems like he’s Acting!. I think there are many better actors and actresses, too many to name. |
| And edward Norton! |
| He’s never performed on stage. Real actors perform on Broadway. Leo is more of a movie star than an actor |
He’s not technically skilled and seems rather lazy. |
+100000 hands down best actor for our generation |
|
Casey Affleck deserves to be up there for The Killing of Jesse James and Manchester by the Sea. He stole the show in Oppenheimer as well.
|
I mean…can’t even name a single one? If there are “too many to name”, surely you can come up with more than zero |
He’s an actor who you can actually see as the character. With DiCaprio it’s like, here’s this guy pretending to be different people. My favorite thing he’s been in in at least a decade was that clip of him talking to Teyana Taylor at the awards show. |
| I used to think Leo was just a pretty face, until I watched Shutter Island. I thought he was phenomenal and that movie still stays with me. |
+1 I don’t know if I think Leo is the best actor but I think he’s really good. I felt his pain and love for his wife in Shutter Island. And I absolutely loathed his character in Wolf of Wall Street, and rooted for his character in The Departed. I think he has range, just not maybe as much as some other actors (like Christian Bale). |
You have seen all his movies in the last decade? Why do you bother if he’s constantly disappointing? |
