"What's Eating Gilbert Grape" is a great film that really shows how great Johnny Depp is at acting. Gilbert, played by Johnny Depp, is living with his family in a small town trying to be the man of the house with his father not in the picture. He has a few sisters, and one brother, Arnie, played by Leonardo Dicaprio. Arnie is not mentally stable and cannot take care of himself so it up to Gilbert and his sisters. Gilbert's mother Bonnie, played by Darlene Cates, is obese and cannot get around the house very well and does not choose to go outside because of the ridicule of the town. Everything is up to Gilbert because he is the man of the house but sometimes he cannot handle it. Gilbert finally thinks he can be happy when, he meets the love of his life, Becky, played by Juliette Lewis.
This movie is great because it really has Johnny Depp and Leonardo Dicaprio show how good they are acting. They are both fantastic in this ilm and they are great together on screen. I do not think they would have such great careers after this film and they obviously did because they are two of the most famous actors currently. I do believe that Dicaprio is fantastic at what he does. He really gets robbed of Oscar nominations. He did get nominated for this film but he deserves so many more nominations. I mean he got robbed of "Catch Me if you Can" "Django Unchained" and the best movie he was in "Titanic." They are both fantastic actors please see where they were young in this film.
