What do we
hang above the crib of our new born baby?
Many people
hang toys and there are some with their unique ideas.
Leonardo DiCaprio at People's Climate March in New York, 2014 |
Parents of Leonardo Wilhelm DiCaprio hung a
dystopian visual description of Dutch painter Hieronymus Bosch above his crib in
the unpleasant neighborhood of East Hollywood of Los Angeles.
It can be said to be the earliest memories of
DiCaprio.
“You literally see Adam and Eve being given
paradise,” says DiCaprio, sitting in a Miami Beach restaurant. Below the table,
his feet play with the canvas loafers.
The star of Titanic is making a movie on climate change and he just finished an interview.
The star of Titanic is making a movie on climate change and he just finished an interview.
His new movie has already taken him to Antarctica
polar cap and to the flood plains of India. At present he is close to Miami
playgrounds where he once left a nightclub with every woman from his VIP
section.
He talks about the earliest painting which he
saw, describing about the fruits that this environment has given mankind and
people enjoying them, here we are in the middle of overpopulation.
There is a said laugh on DiCaprio’s face coupled
with a smile that one can mistake as a scorn. He continued, then there are
black skies and everything is burnt down. He shrugged for a moment and said
that is his favorite painting.
Leonardo DiCaprio is happily stranded between
the brightness of his own life, a personal collection of fossil, a looming
Oscar, and the darkness of the roasted world he is living in with denials
Republicans and a coastline of Bangladesh which will be almost half way under
water by 2050.
He wants that we should move beyond fossil
fuels now and image a world where everything is run on renewable energy
sources. It is a time to save the world rather than concentrate on Iraq War.
According to Martin Scorsese, a long-time
collaborator, Leonardo has a knowledgeable restlessness. He spends a good
amount of time reading texts and books and gaining information.
Someone close to DiCaprio may ask him to cool
down a bit, but, this is something that will not happen. According to Mark
Ruffalo, there are only a handful of people who have the understanding like
this guy in terms of climate change.
Recently DiCaprio
and Ruffalo have grouped together to start Solutions Project, wherein there are
a number of stars and scientists who want to make America free from dependency on
fossil fuel.
According to
Ruffalo, the star of The Revenant is really working hard towards it.
