Who's who: Leonardo Di Caprio


I want to dedicate this post to the amazing Leonardo DiCaprio to celebrate his birthday today. Now he can be considered as a beautiful 40-year-old man that I will never have a chance with because he’s ‘just’ 20 years older than me (and it is not the only problem). 

Everybody knows Leo DiCaprio for his outstanding interpretations as “Titanic”, “The Aviator”, “Shutter Island”, “Django Unchained”, “The Wolf of Wall Street” and also for his collaborations with great names of Hollywood like Martin Scorsese, James Cameron, Woody Allen, Quentin Tarantino. 

But he’s also famous because of his bad luck at the Academic Awards. In fact, he was nominated 5 times, but he has never won even though his performances on the screen were absolutely terrifying (in a good way, of course). 
Let’s see a few of my favorite DiCaprio’s films.

Still from "Titanic" (1997)

Leonardo started his career in the early ‘90s and his breakout was with “Titanic” in 1997. Really good movie but unfortunately I remember the last part of it a bit blurred and watery.. Oh yes, maybe because I cried all my tears for 40 f*cking minutes! 

In 2002 he filmed “Catch me if you can” with Tom Hanks and I have to admit that I really adore this film. Brilliant! 

In 2010 another really good movie, “Shutter Island” directed by Martin Scorsese. It is one of the most amazing and confusing films of all times. 

My last three favorite movies are “Django Unchained” by Quentin Tarantino (this is in my Favorite Movies Top10), “The Great Gatsby” by Baz Luhrmann (he’s a genius and he never let me down) and finally “The Wolf Of Wall Street” by Martin Scorsese. 
I was absolutely sure he would’ve won an Oscar for his stunning performance as Jordan Belfort but unfortunately for him Matthew McConaughey decided to lose 23 kg and to do the best performance of his entire career (coincidentally, McConaughey has a little part in DiCaprio’s film. Premonition or twist of fate?).

Awkward...

Oscar or not, Leonardo Di Caprio remains one of the most talented actor in Hollywood. Just hope that someone one day will not decide to make a film about him and the actor in the leading role casually win an Oscar. It would be too much for him.

I am not a feminist.  Yes, I am a woman and I don't believe in feminism. It's not that I don't believe in equality between men and women, but the word already gives it away: "feminism". Not the best way to express the "lack of differences" between the two genders (which is bullshit, but this is not the purpose of this post).  I am interested in showing how different is for women to go out by themselves. It doesn't matter if it's day or night, if it's in a club on a Saturday night or during a sunny day in a park full of families. It doesn't matter if it's in a city or in a town. If you are not in the company of a "penis-equipped" person, there will always be someone ready to annoy you.  Everything started last weekend when two friends and I decided to make a trip to London to do something different. We were ready to go clubbing, so we left the hostel (in a quite central area of London) and we head to the bus stop....

10 curiosities you have to know about The Avengers: Age of Ultron

Image
Are you excited to watch Marvel's new movie "Avengers: Age of Ultron"? Well, me too. I waited for so long and finally the day is close! Before watching it, here are 10 curiosities you must know about the Behind-the-Scenes. 1) To avoid Scarlett Johansson's baby bump being seen, the production casted three stand-ins of the beautiful actress. It confounded people on set, especially Chris Evans, who confused one of the doubles with his long-time friend. 2) Tony Stark will be armoured in his Mark XLIII , the new version of the Mark 42 . What are the differences? Exchangeable face, LED light-up eyes, arc reactor and a new range of repulsors. 3) James Spader, who will play Ultron, was chosen for this role thanks to his "calming and hypnotic voice". 4) In Seoul, to film the most extreme and special scenes, they used drones and remote control cars. 5) The costumes used in the film were created by the sports clothing line Unde...

You've Got Mail

Hello, people! I already failed my purpose of writing every day, but here I am. Last night I watched "You've Got Mail", a film from 1998 with Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan. I already watched it a few years ago, but yesterday I looked at it with different eyes. When you get old you look at things in a different way.  It's quite amusing to watch a romantic comedy about two people that never met having a sort of relationship online in 1998. Even better when they talk about virtual sex and stuff like that. It's fun how the film shows how the computer worked at that time, making that weird noise every time they connected to the web. Or when Meg Ryan explains her frustration in waiting for the computer to connects to see her emails. "You've Got Mail" was released 17 years ago, but it is extremely ongoing.  They are two people that apparently never met but know a lot about each other, insomuch to fall in love. But at the same time, th...
