Tonight I saw "Shutter Island." I'll skip the cast and crew—you all have heard the Hollywood hoopla at this point. Let me say as a girl that grew up just a few years behind Leonardo DiCaprio, watching him and loving him, sticking by him through all his supermodels: He never left us. For all of you (and myself) that thought we lost Leo after "Romeo and Juliet," when he gay-ed himself beyond belief in "Titanic" by yelling that he was a king, you must see this movie. He is a sensitive cry-baby. No male actor cries better than Leonardo.
Aside from D-Cap, I enjoyed the rest of the movie. I wish, however, that I'd known that "Shutter Island" is a book before seeing the film. But it did provide enough padding and depth that I felt connected to the characters and setting after watching the flick for only a short while. The plot is there off the bat, so I won't cover it in this post.
Recommendation: Netflix—but at the top of the list
That version of Romeo & Juliet is still one of my favorites so STFU! AND it's a great soundtrack. I read the movie spoiler of Shutter Island www.themoviespoiler.com and it looks good.
ReplyDeleteOMG SHUT UP! I said in my entry "after 'romeo and juliet'"--I was obsessed with it just as much as any other teeny bopper!
ReplyDeleteNo male actor cries better than Leonardo. Disagree. Several do...
ReplyDeleteSean Penn, Mystic River IS THAT MY DAUGHTER IN THERE!? Made me like Sean Penn a little.
Matt Damon in Saving Private Ryan and Good Will Hunting. Poor Will, it really wasn't his fault...
Jason Patric Rush...definitely my favorite crying junkie.
Leonardo can suck it.
