Has DiCaprio ever not played a sympathetic character? I'd feel dirty coming out of a movie feeling bad for Jim Jones. I hope he plays him like the villain he really was.
I don't know about anyone else but I didn't feel much sympathy for Calvin Candie or Jordan Belfort.
Good point. I forgot about DJango Unchained. However, I was thinking when DiCaprio was the main character. DJango is obviously the main character in that movie who everybody sympathizes with.
In the Wolf of Wall street, I do think most viewers sorta root for Belfort in that movie. Even though he is a slime ball.
In fact, I'm trying to think of a movie where there is one clear protagonist and he is a person the audience hates. Off the top of my head I can't think of one. Goodfellas, Godfather, etc. are full of bad people, but we still root for the protagonist. The best I can think of now is Downfall (the movie about the fall of Hitler), but there were like 5 main characters in that (but none of them were sympathetic). I imagine there will be 10 responses of movies I forget about. Surely I'm wrong on this sudden observation.
