Just for ... enjoyment Also love his expressions.

Are you trying to prove something to the family?

When you say "the family," who do you mean exactly? You?

You always have to question everything, don't you?

Maybe it would have done you some good to have some *questions* from time to time, you know? "Am I an asshole? Are my kids a mess? Is my wife a money-grubbing whore?" I mean, those are questions, right? "Have I ever been good to my dying sister or am I just now pretending to be?"

On Leo’s facial expressions, I remember Marty saying once that he could have belonged to the silent movie era. He also said the below about him recently:

 

“What’s great about Leo, and it’s why we work together so often, is he goes there. He goes to these weird places that are so difficult and convoluted, and through the convolution, somehow there’s a clarity that we reach,” Scorsese said.

He continued: “And usually it’s in the expression, in his face, in his eyes. I’ve always told him this. He’s a natural film actor. I could shoot a close-up of him, he could be thinking of nothing, and I could intercut anything with it, and people will say, ‘Oh, he’s reacting to such and such’. It’s the Kuleshov experiment. You could do that with him”.

Scorsese didn’t stop there, though, and he continued to lavish praise on one of his most frequent collaborators. “There’s something in his face that the camera locks into, in his eyes,” the director added. “The slightest movement, we know it. Thelma [Schoonmaker], editing his footage with me over the years, often goes, ‘Look at this. Look at the eye movement here. I think we should keep it.’ It’s very interesting what goes on behind the eyes. It’s all there.”

@AliceTno wonder Leo was the first choice for BABYLON. But Brad Pitt did a fine job too as silent actor Jack Konrad. I was surprised how well because mostly he isn't that expressive to me at least not Leo level expressive.

I'm curious to know who Leo is going to play. I already got the novel and as soon as I know I'll start reading.

Not interested, next one please... Let's hope Leo will have other projects before this one because this movie will probably only get ready in 2030.

Don't forget it could've been worse with Jesus. Thanks to the universe it isn't!!!

My only hope here is this writer Grann who delivered the book isn't the worst (how I just learned lol).

^Love the posters. Especially the one with Leo and Lily 😍
