Over the weekend I was quite sick with the flu, so I took the time to enjoy some movies which I realised I haven’t watched a really good film until now. Over the past few days I had been watching ‘The Revenant’ with Leonardo DiCaprio. This was one of the most epic films I have seen this year and it really branched away from what I usually watch e.g. a horror film or a romance (lol). I looked at reviews of the film and I actually couldn’t believe that this was the only film that Leo had got an Oscar for… Like, what about the Titanic? That is 100% one of the best films of all time but he didn’t get an Oscar for it. Like I mean he was really good in The Revenant and played the part really well especially with the bear attack which I could barely watch but that was NOTHING in comparison to him in the Titanic. This was so interesting to see because in the media there was a lot of twitter posts and blog posts which agreed about this and how Leo had so much more recognition for this film compared to there films he had done. Leo is clearly loved in the Media and barely a bad word is ever spoken about him because he is such an amazing actor, and outside of that he barely does a bad thing wrong like other movie stars out there. The Media looks at him like he is a King and that he couldn’t harm a fly because he’s so handsome and executes every role he is given. It is unfair sometimes that even though a movie star can work so hard for a role, and then maybe does something bad in their personal lives then this over comes what they have achieved and is seen as all they are recognised for. I feel like it would be such a hard job being an actor or actress and having to not be yourself in order to successful. The media sometimes ignores this huge effort they put into their jobs and cover it buy incidences in their personal lives and make them more well known through social media and internet culture then they should.

Gosh, there is such a fine line in social media where one thing can become so public and over dramatic. I really idolise Leo because he keeps his personal life as private as he can to his career and in that light nothing bad is ever really seen about him. I do see the side in which why movie stars shouldn’t have to hide who they are, but for them to be recognised in a positive light I think what needs to be understood more is that the Media is trying to find out every possible thing and sometimes that can overcome your achievements and the success you have brought in your career.
