Exactly - everyone gave such great performances! I was a bit blown away by Leonardy DiCaprio, I honestly didn't expect him to do so well XD I should really try and watch more Scorcese movies - I remember when Gangs of New York came out I was still a minor, and couldn't go see it, ;-;

I'll upload it for you! I don't know exactly when I'll have the time to do so, but I'll try. :)

For me, he proved himself in Amores Perros. He was so awesome in that one. Really? Depressing? That's the great thing about movies like this, they're so open to interpretation, 'cause I found the ending quite hopeful - like, he's realizing people can actually change from what he expects them to be, when he sees the finished boat. :)

Oooh, watch Gangs of New York, Daniel Day-Lewis should have won an Oscar for his performance, he is hands down the best villian I've ever seen on film. The first ten minutes of the movie are my favorite, the music, the setting everything. Watch Taxi Driver, even though it is extremely violent, good film. Also loved Casino, but adored Godfellas.

oooh, if you upload it that'd be awesome! Take your time.

I thought he was excellent in Amores Perros as well, but what surprised me was his two performances in La Mala..., both male and female, it was outstanding.

I interpreted the ending as depressing because he would never let go of his dreams and always dream instead of live reality. He runs away with Stephanie only in his dreams and not in reality because that's the best he can do. I don't know, you're right though it can be interpreted in different ways.
