Great Movie
This is such a good movie. One of the best acted movies. I liked it the first time watching it, and I loved it, the second time around, many many years later. This movie really makes you empathize with a single parent raising their children, especially the relationship of a single mom and her loving, but rebellious son. This movie really starts when the mom decides to re-marry, and a step dad gets introduced into the picture, and assumes the role of reforming the rebellious son. I completely agree with the other comments on this board – that Robert Dinero gave a super performance in this role, and what amazes me the most, is Leonardo DiCaprio’s performance. If this was his only role he ever did, it would be enough to demonstrate his acting ability. Its a wonder why neither of these roles were nominated.
