Agree with your literary opinion on that passage about the smile of “eternal reassurance” but I believe Leo’s lovely eyes are what makes his smile work!
I believe Nero Wolf only worked in the resistance in Monte Negro with no government decorations. However, Rex Stout's novel "The Black Mountain" has Nero returning to the Monte Negro many years later to trace through ancient friendships and rivalries to find and hold accountable the murderer of his friend in New York, the chef of Rusterman's Restaurant. One of the most memorable scenes in the Wolf chronicles is Wolf identifying the body in the morgue, placing two dinars on its eyes and saying, "That completes my obligation to the clay. Let's go, Archie."
True. De Caprio had a first row seat at the WEF - they must have paid him a few € or Swiss Francs to showcase his handsome little face albeit devoid of brains.
I don’t think he’s devoid of brains. He’s actually a terrific actor. If you haven’t seen Once Upon A Time In Hollywood...IMHO, it’s brilliant and his performance is brilliant too...
That aside, he’s pushing the WEF “Climate Agenda” - not the one that might help heal our planet - instead the one that will institute 15 minute cities and The New World Order for “the good” of all us ignorant useless eaters.
Charm and charisma isn't explored nearly enough these days.
And we'd probably know what was behind a 'decoration from Montenegro', if it were a true decoration.
On their path to glory WEF-type young global leaders collect all their decorations, canny in their ability to work out which volunteer projects will be recognised by the decorators.
🐢 The famous fictional character in American literature who claims to have received a military decoration from Montenegro is Simon Legree from the novel "Uncle Tom's Cabin" by Harriet Beecher Stowe.
I’ve never found DiCaprio handsome.
And there’s something all wrong about him...Perhaps it’s the stench of the WEF.
Agreed Kristin. And his smile looks smarmy.
Amy person that works for the WEF is out of touch
Another trivia question: Whatever happened to "Goodbye Lahaina"?
Redford was better….
Who cares about Leo. The book on the other hand is considered a “perfect” novel.

Kathleen - don’t be mesmerized by Leo. Check out his personal life; after that you won’t think his eyes are ‘lovely’.
The eyes are probably what sells the smile in the passage as well.
Leonardo Di Caprio? Please don’t subject us to his face ever again. You DO know about him, correct, Mr. Leake? Ugh.

Good point Kristin. Well taken. I agree - he is a good actor

That smile? Duper’s delight? Perfected by our public serpents and philanthropaths like Mr. Gates-of-Hell. Sometimes fleeting, but not always.
