Part 7/11:
Leonardo DiCaprio’s portrayal is criticized as emblematic of a broader trend: the "men being ruined on screen." His character is depicted as a stoner, inept father struggling to protect his daughter—who, notably, is portrayed as an outstanding character amidst the chaos. Meanwhile, Shawn Penn’s character is involved in violent actions, including murder, portrayed without nuance or moral consequence, further emphasizing the film’s flawed moral landscape.
