The core

In the section 'Reception and acting style', para 1, we've got '....his instructor released an emergency core'.
What is an 'emergency core'?
When I find out, I propose putting something like: '....his instructor released an emergency core (parachuting safety device')

Last name

This article is improperly mostly using only last names. The MOS is one thing but the article is unclear. Engage01 (talk) 12:14, 4 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I don't see the problem. Please give an example where the article's use of last names makes it "unclear". Mgnbar (talk) 12:27, 4 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Some of this article is not written well. When DiCaprio is being referenced along with his father it's not done correctly. Engage01 (talk) 12:37, 4 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I saw what you meant, and I made some edits. It's still clumsy, but maybe it's clearer. Mgnbar (talk) 16:04, 4 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

There are already two Scorcese films listed, not sure we need a third. LizardJr8 (talk) 18:12, 18 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Not done: I concur with the above editor that this is an unnecessary addition to an already over-long sentence. DrOrinScrivello (talk) 14:18, 20 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

But it's one of his most popular movies among cinephiles and the general public. 193.207.22.180 (talk) 01:37, 24 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Grammar: "Essaying her first viewing of the film"

This doesn't make sense. To "essay" is to try, not to write an essay. Please change "Essaying" to "Writing about" or similar. 2A00:23C5:FE1C:3701:E888:B11B:4D0E:E0FC (talk) 19:04, 29 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
