Performance

Hey guys! Today I am going to talk about different performance. I am going to talk about Winslet's performances in RR and The Holiday, and then DiCaprio's performance in Titanic and The Great Gatsby.  I am going to write my own opinion, and what I feel when I watch the clip.

- This is my first ever primary resource by the way! Enjoy :)


Kate Winslet - performance


Revolutionary Road clip:




I think that Kate Winslet did a very good job and her performance was outstanding.  This is because in this scene she changed her emotion three times.  The first emotion was annoyance as she was trying to ignore DiCaprio (Frank) and she was smoking as well.  The second emotion was anger, she was furious with Frank so she started shouting at him and having a go at him.  The last emotion Winslet did was her laughing at Frank but this was only for 22 seconds.  She then automatically goes back to being angry at Frank.

The Holiday clip:




Winslet's performance in this clip is completely opposite to the clip from Revolutionary Road. This is because in this clip she is more relaxed, casual and most importantly having fun. Winslet is playing a British woman (Iris) and she is away on holiday in Los Angeles.  For the film Kate Winslet didn't have to put on an American accent which makes this clip more natural for Kate. Jack Black (Miles) at the beginning is very relaxed and seems to be having fun, but when he gets a call from his ex-girlfriend (Maggie) it becomes more awkward between Iris and Miles.


Leonardo DiCaprio - performance 


Titanic:

I really like this clip from Titanic because Jack (DiCaprio) is just being himself and tires to act as normal as he can in front of the first class passengers (including Rose/Winslet).   There are a few humorous parts in this clip but most of this clip is very serious.  This proves that Jack believes in luck and everything happens for a reason.  DiCaprio is very relaxed in this clip which makes it great to watch, and also there is no tension or shouting in this clip.


The Great Gatsby:

This clip is starring DiCaprio as Gatsby and Carey Mulligan as Daisy, this is when the pair fall in love. I think that this clip is also relaxed and I think it is very romantic which makes it very enjoyable to watch.  However, I think DiCaprio and Winslet are better doing relaxed and romantic scenes together because they have got a special bond between them, but Mulligan and DiCaprio don't have that special bond.
