Monday Movie Meme - Man in the Iron Mask
Monday, September 30, 2013 at 11:30AM *If you’re visiting from The LAMB, go HERE to read my Acting School 101 post for September. Alternatively, you can just scroll down the page, since it’s the previous blog post published before today’s post.
This week’s Monday Movie Meme is short and simple, given that it is based on the subject of a blogathon I’m participating in today called LAMB Acting School 101, hosted by Courtney Small of Cinema Axis: Man in the Iron Mask.
Share on your blog or in the comments, ONE movie you think showed Leonardo DiCaprio at his best in terms of acting. Remember to visit the blogs of fellow Monday Movie Meme participants. Also, if you haven’t already, join the conversation about the trajectory of DiCaprio’s career, by reading my LAMB post: What Leonardo DiCaprio Can Teach Us About Diligence!
Here is my selection for this week’s Man in the Iron Mask theme...
Blood Diamond – For the most part, I hated Danny Archer’s manipulative, greedy and selfish ways in this movie. This tripped me out because I’ve always liked Leonardo DiCaprio, so I think that any lovable actor who can make you hate him while still wanting to watch what happens next is an actor who doesn’t mind taking on roles that don’t paint his or her character in the best light – and still manage to make us wanting to root for them in the end, or at the very least, hate them a little less than we did during the first half of the movie.
What movie do YOU think shows Leonardo DiCaprio at his best?

I first thought of his talent in What's Eating Gilbert Grape. Then he showed he had some acting chops in Romeo + Juliet. But it was Inception that really made me realize the stretch of his abilities. In his various movies, he's not "that same guy" so he can just do the same thing all the time. And that is admirable.
