Leonardo DiCaprio, Mark Ruffalo, and Ben Kingsley are all professional
actors and most certainly quite popular. Leonardo DiCaprio is the headlining
star as we know. These actors are very important to the success of the film.
They each bring their own style to the table for the director to use how he
pleases. Martin Scorsese has had a connection with Leonardo for years, as you
can see he plays in a number if Martin’s films. Be that as it is, Leonardo
brings artistic skills which I am sure he has a say in. Throughout the film,
there are a number of “jump cuts” and few cuts in which the actor didn’t finish
his line or her/she made an error. These “jump cuts” however may be purposeful
to create a tension effect (i.e. looking into different directions).
Highlighting is clearly evident. I mean, Martin has a thing for Leonardo, so
expect to see Leonardo because he is the giant head on the poster, and more
realistically, he is the main character. This is quite noticeable as he has
been in a number of box office hits throughout the past few years. The style of
his acting is very iconic, as it doesn’t change much, if the slightest. His
values always portray “the American dream” (i.e. The Great Gatsby, The Wolf of
Wall Street). The idea many at a young age look to obtain. Each actor is using
a 1950s stylized approach to acting, from their dialogue, to their gestures,
and to their movements (body language, person-person interactions). Ben
Kingsley, who portrays Dr. Crawley, actually looks like a doctor with his
serious looks and smart tongue. Mark Ruffalo, who portrays Chuck Aule,
maintains facial expressions well, or he always looks that way, because his
face makes you wonder what is wrong with Teddy Daniels, pay attention and
you’ll notice it too.
