Parents love little Leonardo and choose what is best for him. They sent him to an aristocratic school for the best education. However, he has never been interested in learning, especially mathematics. Therefore, he finally embarked on the road of film and television. At first, Leonardo acted to help solve the financial difficulties at home. Later, he had a soft spot for acting and was not interested in learning, but his classes were always good. This may be his film and television love after he participated in the TV series Rmper Room at the age of 5.
At the age of five, he took part in the shooting of the TV series "Playroom". 10 years old, Leonardo's dream of becoming an actor was once shattered. A film and television agent rejected Leonardo on the grounds that they didn't like his hairstyle and name, and suggested that Leonardo be renamed Lanny Williams. Unwilling not to be an actor, after 50 interviews at the age of 12, his unremitting efforts finally paid off and he got the job of 1 as a professional actor, a short car advertisement. 14 years old, an agent accepted him and recommended him to shoot TV series Santa Barbara and [1] [2] [3] new classics. 1990, 16 years old, he participated in the filming of the famous TV series Growing Pains, in which he played a homeless teenager-Luke. Leonardo's impeccable performance in this TV series even stole the limelight of the protagonist. Leonardo's success in this TV series marks his real rise in the film industry. Since then, his films have been successful step by step. 199 1 year successively filmed Devil III and Alien Pursuit Order, and 1992 filmed Poisonous Vine. From 65438 to 0993, Leonardo participated in the filming of "It's better to start all over again", and partnered with Robert De Niro to play the image of a teenager who was abused by his stepfather and was extremely depressed and miserable. His acting skills attracted the attention of the public and the media. At that time, Robert De Niro even praised Leonardo da Vinci privately to his long-term partner director martin scorsese. In the same year, he also starred in Yani, a mentally retarded child in Different Sky. His simple and natural performance won him the nomination for the Best Supporting Actor Award in 1994, when he was only 19 years old.
From 65438 to 0995, Leonardo created an image of an addict writer with distinct personality in Basketball Diary. At that time, he was at an awkward age, sometimes he looked like a 20-year-old adult, and sometimes he showed the childishness of a little boy, which met the needs of the role. In the film, he vividly portrayed a young man who was dissatisfied with reality and addicted to drugs, so he was nominated for the Golden Globe Award and was praised as "the heir of River Phoenix". In the same year, he co-starred with big-name stars king hackman and sharon stone in the western film Fatal Pleasure. At that time, sharon stone, the sexy goddess of Hollywood, preferred to reduce her salary and appointed Leonardo to play opposite her in the film as Remy, the son of the mayor. Sharon Si Tong spoke highly of Leona in her twenties. She has said many times that this young actor is the most talented one I have ever seen. Leonardo also lived up to Sister Sally's high hopes for him. He shows the arrogance and fearless spirit of a young gunman in his role with a personality very different from his parents. After that, he successively filmed Total Solar Eclipse and Marvin's Room. He plays Rambo, a gay poet, in Total Solar Eclipse, which is very popular. In Marvin's Room, he plays a rebellious boy who burns down his house and plays with diane keaton and Meryl Streep.
Yani, a mentally retarded child in Alien Sky, Jamie, a drug addict in Basketball Diary, and Rambo, a melancholy man in Total Eclipse, have great influence on Leonardo's acting career, and these roles have established his supreme position as the "best marginal person" in the film industry. 1996, in the modern passionate version of Romeo and Juliet, he created a brand-new Romeo image. In this famous Shakespeare play full of sexual suggestion and violence, his performance is called "Romeo" by critics, which combines mania, rebellious spirit and sadness, and is the "most depressed, hurtful and affectionate male star" in Hollywood. Girls all over the world regard this neurotic modern Romeo as their dream lover. Leonardo also won the Best Actor Award at the Berlin Film Festival for this film.
However, what really made Leonardo famous all over the world was that after he played Jack in Titanic, the film won 1 1, which broke the box office record in the United States and the world. Leonardo also became a "box office bomb at the end of the century" because of his perfect performance in this film, which swept the world like a whirlwind, young, handsome and full of vigor. In fact, when filming this film, director James Cameron was not very satisfied with Leonardo. He once issued an ultimatum to Leonardo: "I know that most of your previous roles were too melancholy and a little neurotic, but they were definitely not in this movie." Leonardo finally followed Cameron's advice and created his first "normal" role brilliantly. Indeed, nothing is more difficult for an actor than playing a fresh, simple and simple role. In this film, Leonardo's performance is quite serious, full of curiosity and enthusiasm. Under the tender face, a charming temperament is faintly visible. From Idol to Power and Leonardo DiCaprio.
The actresses he worked with also spoke highly of him. They think he is charming, radiant and kind. In an era full of violence, the law of the jungle and the expansion of individualism caused by social crisis, Leonardo represents a new generation of actors: open-minded, willing to associate with people and bringing some positive things to society.
In 2000, Leonardo played an American young man who loves to swim in the online world for excitement in his new film The Beach, and decided to go to Thailand to find a paradise on earth-the beach. The theme reflected in the film is: nature cannot be transformed by human beings if they want to transform it! The first performance of the film in Thailand aroused the public indignation of local environmentalists, who believed that the film had caused environmental damage to the local Feifei Island during the filming process. Leonardo always claimed that he didn't.
Some people destroy the environment and deliberately devote themselves to being environmental pioneers. They visited US President Bill Clinton to talk about environmental protection to promote environmental protection activities. However, with the global release of "Shanghai Beach", Thailand, where it was filmed, welcomed countless young tourists. Richard, the protagonist in the film, went to Thailand shoulder by shoulder, witnessing the idyllic sea and beaches, which greatly boosted Thailand's tourism. This literary film is not suitable for the public's aesthetic appetite, and the effect is a failure after it is released. It brought a series of troubles and directly dragged Leon into a difficult predicament.
In 2002, Leonardo starred in Steven Allan Spielberg's At large and martin scorsese's The New York Gangster. The former made an excellent box office, earning $350 million. Leonardo's performance was widely praised, and he was nominated as the hero of the Golden Globe Award. It was widely appreciated by the authoritative film critic Roger Abbott. In 2004, Aviator, which cooperated with martin scorsese, welcomed the Golden Globe winner Lyon and was nominated for an Oscar. In 2006, Infernal Affairs and Blood Diamond brought him double nominations for best actor. He was also the first actor in history to be nominated for Best Actor, and was nominated for Best Actor at the next year's Academy Awards for Blood Diamond with Jennifer Lynn Connelly. Since then, the public's impression of Leon has completely changed. The documentary 65438 +0 1 hour released in 2007 is an independent film produced by Leon. Except for the invitation of the director, it was almost arranged, and the film achieved good box office results.
Interestingly, fans who know Leo can find that Leo has appeared on the screen every two years since 2000. In 2002, 2004 and 2006, there were at large, Traveler and Infernal Affairs respectively. The latter two films and another work in 2002, Gangster of New York, achieved the best film of the next year (Infernal Affairs is the first one), Gangster of New York, Traveler and another starring work in 2006. In 2008, Lyon released two films, The Body of Lies and The Road to Revolution. In Road to Revolution, he and his partner Kate Winslet in Titanic joined hands again. 20 10 Shutter Island is the fourth cooperation between Leon and martin scorsese, which makes people feel headache. This is a movie that subverts the Hollywood model. This is enough to show that this obscure film has not suffered from Waterloo, but has topped the box office of the United States, Britain, France, South Korea and other countries one after another after its premiere, attracting $200 million in global box office, because many people regard understanding this film as a symbol to prove their wisdom, and you need to split your mind in two to get out of Shutter Island. This is not a movie, but more like a game with a big brain opening. 20 10 Inception with the famous director Christopher Nolan. This film takes the audience between dreams and reality, and is defined as' a contemporary action science fiction film that takes place inside the consciousness structure'. Since Inception was officially released in North America on July 16, it won the North American box office championship for three weeks in a row, and many excited fans flocked to IMDB to score, making the score as high as 9.3. Up to three-quarters of the votes were given full marks, and Inception's IMDB ranking has now rushed to the third place, second only to The Shawshank Redemption and The Godfather.
