From Young to Mature, Dicaprio

From Young to Mature, Dicaprio Movie Roles - A Scene to Memorize

(2002) Catch Me If You Can

Catch Me If You Can is a 2002 American biographical crime movie based on the life of Frank Abagnale, who before his 19th birthday, successfully completed the minuses worth millions of dollars by impersonating a pilot Pan American World Airways, Georgia doctor and Louisiana parish prosecutor. His main crime was checks fraud. He became so proficient that the FBI eventually turned to him for help in catching other control counterfeiters. The movie was directed by Steven Spielberg and starring by Leonardo DiCaprio and Tom Hanks, Christopher Walken, Martin Sheen, Nathalie Baye and Amy Adams in supporting roles.

(2002) Gangs of New York

The movie begins in 1846 and quickly jumps to 1862. Two issues of the era in New York were Irish immigration to the city and the Civil War. The story follows gang leader Bill "The Butcher" Cutting (Daniel Day-Lewis) in his roles as crime boss and political kingmaker under the helm of "Boss" Tweed (Jim Broadbent). The movie culminates in a violent confrontation between Cutting and his mob with the protagonist Amsterdam Vallon (Leonardo DiCaprio) and his immigrant allies, which coincides with the New York Draft Riots of 1863.

(2010) Shutter Island

The film was scheduled to be released by Paramount Pictures in the United States and Canada on October 2, 2009. Paramount later announced it was going to push back the release date to February 19, 2010. Reports attribute the pushback to Paramount not having "the financing in 2009 to spend the $50 to $60 million necessary to market a big awards pic like this," to DiCaprio's unavailability to promote the film internationally, and to Paramount's hope that the economy might rebound enough by February 2010 that a film geared toward adult audiences would be more viable financially.

(2015) The Revenant

The Revenant has received numerous award nominations and wins, particularly for DiCaprio's performance, Iñárritu's direction and Lubezki's cinematography. At the 88th Annual Academy Awards, Iñárritu won the Best Director award for the second time in a row, Emmanuel Lubezki won for the third time in a row the award for Best Cinematography and DiCaprio won his first award for Best Actor. Hardy lost his category to Mark Rylance for Bridge of Spies, and the film itself lost Best Picture to Spotlight.

(2016) Before The Flood

As revealed by DiCaprio on September 9, 2016 at the Toronto International Film Festival, the documentary has debuted October 30, 2016 on the National Geographic Channel. As part of National Geographic's commitment to covering climate change, the documentary was made widely available and free of charge on various platforms. The film shows DiCaprio visiting various regions of the globe exploring the impact of man-made global warming. As a narrator, DiCaprio comments these encounters as well as archive footages. DiCaprio repeatedly references a 15th-century triptych by Hieronymus Bosch, The Garden of Earthly Delights, which he uses as an analogy of the present course of the world toward potential ruin as depicted on its final panel.
