Through this role, DiCaprio was able to excitingly and disturbingly provide an illuminating look into excess. Starring alongside an incredible cast – including Margot Robbie, Matthew McConaughey and Jonah Hill – DiCaprio presented the corporate greed, criminal activity, moral ambiguity, use of hard drugs, and explicit sexual experiences of Belfort in a humorous and captivating but serious and focused way. In yet another Scorsese film, DiCaprio plays Jordan Belfort, who was involved in rampant corruption and fraud on Wall Street in the 1980s. Poor DiCaprio wasn’t even nominated, while his co-star Kate Winslet won her only Academy Award to date. It received thirteen academy nominations and won eleven of them – becoming one of biggest academy award winners of all time. Until the release of Avatar, Titanic was the highest-grossing film of all time. It is DiCaprio’s emotional depth as Jack Dawson that makes this performance so memorable in both the romantic scenes and in the traumatic scenes where the ship fills with water, DiCaprio’s performance is phenomenal. Jack holding Rose up at the front of the ship so that she can feel like she is flying is just one of the many scenes in Titanic that have become iconic.
This is an unforgettable performance that sweeps you away, and DiCaprio once again displays his talents as a romantic lead. His performance alongside Kate Winslet was spectacular his fun-loving, charming, witty, and inspiring Dawson carries the beautiful love story amidst the heartbreaking and devastating context. This list would be nothing without DiCaprio’s depiction of Jack Dawson.
