All About Gilbert Grape

Ever since I have seen this movie I’ve been trying to write something about it, but it is too hard to find proper words to define this movie.
The story takes place in a small town and the characters are fairly ordinary. I’ll be honest, at first glipms this is not an interesting movie, maybe that was my reason to postpone to watch it. I don’t know how but from the first scene you’re feeling connected to the characters. Although the scenario is simple, the acting is beyond the limits. You’re not wondering what's gonna happen next, you just wanna see their acting.
DiCaprio is the main factor to watch this movie. Some of his mimics was good to make me cry. His acting an autistic kid who happens to be miracle for being alive. If you don't know him you can easily believe he is really an autistic child. Not surprisingly, this role brought him, his first Oscar nomination while he was only 19. Generally DiCaprio’s acting is like a pizza, even his worst is good.
And Johnny Depp aka. Gilbert Grape is the most profound character in the movie. He carries of burden of his family. Even his own plans, he is not thinking himself. He is living like, he doesn't even have to right to love. Like his mother said; devoted knight in shimmering armor. But for me he is the hero of this movie and best brother I've ever seen in any movie.
You can feel chemistry between this two actors. They are playing like real siblings. Actually, all cast has a harmony and this is reflected to movie.
The definition of this film is 'absolute acceptance’ which is one of the hardest thing to do in this world. It’s not important how perfect our life is we are always trying to change everything around us like people, situations, life etc. but maybe even ourselves. This movie lets you witness blind acceptances. Not important where are you living, how do you look, how smart are you or how rich or well behaved you are....
There is only one bad thing I can say about the movie; Johnny Depp’s hair! I know it’s not his original color and it doesn’t even look like real hair.
Long story short, if you want to watch an emotional, dramatic, realistic family movie you can put this movie top of your watchlist.
