THE NINE LIVES OF LEO DICAPRIO

摘要

Leonardo DiCaprio doesn't always survive. Titanic? Dead. Django Unchained? Unalive. The Departed? Departed. Romeo and Juliet? We won't spoil that one for you, but you get the point. Hisnewmovie, The Revenant, takes the struggle not to die and really, really goes with it. In the film DiCaprio plays Hugh Glass, a real-life 1820s fur trapper who got mauled by a bear, was robbed and abandoned by his companions, and then spent months crawling to safety through the untamed American wilderness. As for what it took to play the part of Glass, well, let's just say it involved a lot of snow, bearskins, and numb digits. The production of the film, directed by a fresh-off-Birdman Alejandro Inarritu, was so complicated and geographically challenging that at times the moviemakers themselves needed to claw and scrape to keep it alive-filming had to be repeatedly stopped and resuscitated. But survive they all did (Glass, DiCaprio, and The Revenant), and the result will be coming to you in a safe, warm, dry theater on Christmas Day. We sat down with DiCaprio to ask him about endurance, his own brushes with death, and perhaps the biggest survival story of them all-how the hell we all might live through climate change. Spoiler alert: One of these things involves a shark.
