Leo DiCaprio: Shutter Island Prem

Leonardo DiCaprio at the Shutter Island NY Premiere

Shutter Island is to awards what Scorsese is to cinema! Hands down, this is one film that doesn’t ever have to see the light of a big screen – even in limited release – to walk away with a bevy of statues come next year. Ominously, it wasn’t presented for consideration this turn around.

This could arguably be said to be due to politics. (What? Assuredly you know it exists everywhere!) Everyone wants to work with Martin Scorcese - in one fashion or another – and snubbing his projects would be suicide.

But I’m just saying this to be obnoxious. Marty’s films are the stuff of legend. No greater suspencion of disbelief exists greater than what this demure man can create.

Scarily enough, (get it? The flick is a psycho thriller!) the film’s headlining top billing went to one man: chubby-poo Leonardo DiCaprio. Go figure. Mainlining his own flick? Wow.

I am so not ready to see him walk away with a golden bald guy. He already has enough of a bad attitude to fill a stadium… But I have every faith that Leo’s performance in this Marty flick will be stellar! And in case you were wondering, the film also happens to costar Michelle Williams, Mark Ruffalo and Patricia Clarkson.

“What struck me about doing this character and this story as a whole is how incredibly emotional it was and how much it explored the dark side of humanity. At the end of the day, this movie is really a character piece,” DiCaprio tells the Houston Chronicle. You see I would’a thought what struck him about doing this flick was working with Scorsese… Go figure.

“There’s nothing distinctive about the way Scorsese directs that is much different or far superior to other directors of his caliber. But there’s an undercurrent to what he’s doing that’s almost intangible,” the one time child prodigy goes on to say.

“You can’t put your finger on it. It’s the way he deals with his actors, the way he edits small little moments and holds them, the way he’ll push in with the camera in a way that’s almost undetectable. And then when you see all the pieces of the puzzle, they make a beautiful tapestry. He’s working on so many different levels simultaneously,” DiCaprio concludes of Shutter Island’s director.

The question does remain,however, if other films that haven’t been released as of yet appear in the nominations listings why not this one?… And you thought I was kidding about the political stuff… And why is Leo so chubby?

Shutter Island will release on Feb 19th! If I only had a date…
