I am shocked at how many people blindly call him the greatest actor ever...if you look at any comments section of his videos...the top 10-20 most popular comments are about him and oscar..and they have thousands of likes...I have theories and I see incredible parallels between Dicaprio and Christopher nolan..Nolan to a lesser extent.

So it has to do with the kind of movies he makes that attract a certain kind of audience.If you take a toy from a kid, he cries and will have an outburst but if you take something from an adult the result would be much more polite for the most part.
For the most part Dicaprio makes movies that will appeal to men from 10-40 yrs of age.Macho high budget visceral movies.But to me he just has more expressive face than Matt damon and Titanic. Its crazy how easily you can trace his career back to titanic.His careful use of bankability in building a brand like apple. You watch a movie i am in, you are gonna get exactly what you expect, a thrilling plot that's easily understood and instant gratification.
But this facade has a lot of holes which can be pointed out if you are a rationale human being.He never surprises.He always ends up in a situation where the circumstances surrounding the movie elevate the lead performance. The factors contributing to the circumstances are auteur filmmaker as director,a good distributing studio, all the people who are financially benefited by Dicaprio at any point in his career. Key thing you need to understand is when you have a star who can make money for lot of people..no one is gonna question his talent..thats like questioning the hand that feeds your colleagues.
So his talent go unquestioned and critics eat up the movie due to auteur filmmakers at the helm of the movies.
I wonder how long he is going hide his limited talent behind his star power and auteurs who are baited to cast him due to financial model that forces them to cast him and not due to his talent.
