Originally posted by ahn1991:Also, acting is more than just compelling dialogue. Often times dialogue is a better representation of the writer than the actor or actress. An actor's ability is best displayed when he doesn't have the crutches of dialogue to prop him on a pedestal. An argument could be made that The Revenant was made specifically to highlight Leo's acting ability by presenting him with scenes where he has to carry the entire feel of the movie on the subtleties of his actions, facial expressions, and emotions. That is why he won the Oscar for this film specifically.
