A classic Scorsese! DiCaprio out-shines all his previous performances!

Rating: 10/10 (28 February 2010)

I am a mad mad mad Scorsese fan. I don't need to tell people how good he is. I don't need to vindicate myself for being his fan. But this movie made me feel so proud to be a fan.
This movie is absolute class. Every frame and every dialogs has been tailored to fit. The scenes are hauntingly captivating. Without giving much details of the story-line, I want to recall just one scene that will stick with you, every one of you at the end of the movie. Leo stands in the middle of the doctor's house, the whole room is red, with the fire roaring in the fire place, and he is smoking a cigarette. The camera zooms moves from his face to above him, and the smoke floats around his face and the camera slowly circles above. This scene is so difficult to make explain in words, but it will stick in everyone's head at the end.
Do go and watch, this movie is not a horror movie, nothing to be scared about. It is just amazingly well made.
