In 2008, DiCaprio starred inBody of Lies,a spy film based on thenovel of the same
namebyDavid Ignatius,set in context of the Middle East and theWar on Terror,telling the story
of three men battling a terrorist organization, and each other.[48]Directed byRidley Scott,
DiCaprio dyed his hair brown and wore brown contacts for the role, which he chose to pursue
because he considered it a throwback to political films of the 1970s such asThe Parallax
View(1974) andThree Days of the Condor(1975).[48]The film received mixed reviews from
critics,[49]and at a budget of US$67.5 million, became a moderate box office success, grossing
US$115 million worldwide.[50]

The same year, DiCaprio reunited with Kate Winslet to film the dramaRevolutionary
Road(2008), directed by Winslet's then-husbandSam Mendes.As both actors had been
reluctant to make romantic films similar to Titanic, it was Winslet who suggested that both should
work with her on a film adaptation of the1961 novel of the same namebyRichard Yatesafter
reading the script byJustin Haythe,knowing that plot had little in common with the 1997
blockbuster.[51]Once DiCaprio agreed to do the film, it went almost immediately into
production.[52]He noted that he saw his character as "unheroic" and "slightly cowardly" and that
he was "willing to be just a product of his environment."[53]Portraying a couple in a failing marriage
in the 1950s, DiCaprio and Winslet watched period videos promoting life in the suburbs to
prepare themselves for Revolutionary Road, which eventually earned them favorable
reviews.[54]For his portrayal DiCaprio garnered his seventh Golden Globes nomination.
DiCaprio continued his collaborative streak with Scorsese in the 2010psychological thriller
filmShutter Island(2010), based onthe 2003 novel of the same namebyDennis Lehane.He
played U.S. Marshal Edward "Teddy" Daniels, who is investigating a psychiatric facility located
on an island and comes to question his own sanity. The film grossed $294 million.[55]
Also in 2010, DiCaprio starred in directorChristopher Nolan's science-fiction filmInception.
Inspired by the experience oflucid dreaminganddream incubation,[56]DiCaprio portrays the
character of Dom Cobb, an "extractor" who enters the dreams of others to obtain information that
is otherwise inaccessible.[57]Cobb is promised a chance to regain his old life in exchange for
planting an idea in a corporate target's mind.[58]DiCaprio, the first actor to be cast in the
film,[59]was "intrigued by this conceptthis dream-heist notion and how this character's gonna
