This is done to bring to light the transgressions of the antagonist of the play, Stanley Kowalski. The theme of past and present is explored as the characters pasts catch up to them. This…

I would, go and watch this movie again because it was that good. Any movie with Leonardo DiCaprio is a great movie because he is an amazing performer. When the movie started off it was action, which got me hooked to finish watching the rest of the movie. It was not until after I watched the movie that I found out that this movie was…

The Wolf of Wall Street may seem just as another ridiculous comedy film at first glance, however, as with art of all forms, it can be interpreted in drastically different ways. Although the film explicitly portrays how stockbrokers in Wall Street use manipulation to fill their own pockets, The Wolf of Wall Street splendidly conveys different “morals of the story” depending on the morality of the audience: “wolves” hunger for materialistic lifestyle are eager to become filthy rich like Jordan…

Luhrmann wanted them act in the movie as they fall in love in first sight by them checking out each other through the aquarium glass.

documentary was “When I have children, everything that we now all take for granted, our planet, and all its biodiversity and beauty, everything in the future is gonna be different” (Dicaprio, Before the Flood). Rather than thinking about the here and now, Leonardo is thinking about the next generations and how different the world will be if the people living here now do not do something to change it. Another example of Dicaprio’s thoughts about an end is a statement from a speech he gave on…
