Martin Scorsese and Leonardo DiCaprio

Eminent filmmaker Martin Scorsese is widely known for his memorable collaborations with actors Leonardo DiCaprio and Robert De Niro, delivering major classic hits of his scintillating career. Though both of the aforementioned actors have equally contributed to his success, I think the collaboration between Scorsese-Robert De Niro is the most prolific. Robert De Niro has starred in 11 films helmed by the master director, exploring complex genres such as crime, thriller, biography and epic crime, which are regarded as some of the greatest films of all time. Out of all the films, I feel Taxi Driver and Casino were remarkable, assessing the sharpness of our minds as well as treating us with impressive cinematography and performances. De Niro is a versatile actor and his skill has been creatively utilised by this visionary director, garnering him accolades and acclaim. It would be exciting to watch Scorsese's Killers of the Flower Moon starring the powerhouses of talent Leonardo DiCaprio and Robert De Niro, taking the cinematic experience to a new level! (What's the combination you prefer: Scorcese-Leonardo DiCaprio or Scorsese-Robert De Niro... October 20)

Martin Scorcese is a magician and he weaves magic with both Leonardo DiCaprio and Robert De Niro. Shutter Island (2010), is an unsettling movie that leaves you permanently spooked while The Departed (2006) takes you down crazy labyrinths and mind-bending mazes of a crime thriller like no other. The Aviator (2004) sees DiCaprio in the role of the eccentric billionaire Howard Hughes, who having founded an empire of untold wealth, died an ignominious death. From psychological thrillers to epic autobiographical ouvres, from mind-bending crime thrillers to real-life thugs with brilliant, calculative minds, the wonderful duo has crossed all bridges of movie-making together, so to speak.

Even though his partnership with De Niro has been far from barren, one would be guilty of choosing DiCaprio over Niro for the sheer scale and dimension of their work together. DiCaprio has been nominated for several awards and has also won quite a few, thanks to Scorsese. In an award function, he openly acknowledged Scorsese as his mentor and the role he has played in his career so far. Together, they have garnered nominations for 31 Academy Awards, winning 9 of them. Not to mention an equally impressive tally of Golden Globes and BAFTA Awards.

Between the combinations, I always wait eagerly for new Scorsese-DiCaprio movies and naturally, I am now waiting impatiently to watch the pair's latest, Killers of the Flower Moon, which is the handsome actor's sixth feature film with the renowned American filmmaker. In the epic, DiCaprio essays the role of Ernest Burkhart. I am cent per cent sure that this movie is going to be yet another compelling film.
