Why We Love Philip Seymour Hoffman

- Philip Seymour Hoffman could do it all: He could make us laugh, he could make us cry, and he could do both of those things in a single scene-he was just that versatile. This incredible talent is what led to Hoffman being labeled as a character actor, but that classification doesn’t quite seem to do him justice. Yes, he had many standout performances in many eccentric supporting roles, but Hoffman was also a commanding presence who proved himself to be a tour de force in several leading performances. I’m not sure if any other actor has ever been able display emotion like Hoffman did. Thoughtful, and passionate, and really just a joy to watch, Hoffman was truly one of the greats. From subtle facial expressions to volatile explosions of dialogue, Hoffman was a master of emoting-he was a master of his craft in general. He made us laugh, he made us cry, but above all, he made us care.
For more on our favorite actors and what made them so special, don’t miss our recent videos about Robin Williams, Christian Bale, Joaquin Phoenix, Lakeith Stanfield, and Tom Cruise-and for more on one of Hoffman’s ultimate performances, watch Influences on “The Master” to see what helped inspire him.
He's the best thing about his films
RIP
IиVEяTED indeed.
Did he died ?
@@saadalqahtani3053 unfortunately yes
The only exception is The Big Lebowsky, but i agree in every single other case
To really see his genius, do yourself a favor and read the script to his movies. If you read the words on the page and see his range of emotion and performance, his line delivery is second to none. I HATE that we won't get to see him evolve into the kind of roles that behoove Anthony Hopkins or another older actor. He would have been REMARKABLE.
He played old characters as a young man, so who cares
*i totally wanna see that! do you have a video you can recommend to me?*
We couldve seen an Elton John biopic with him as Elton John
He was remarkable *
@Lisa Surlie And you're proving what an essential contribution you are to the world.
He is equally great as Daniel Day Lewis for me. Sometimes more so because of his wider range of selections from comedy to drama. RIP Mr. Hoffman 😢
Real shame they never teamed up for a PT Anderson movie. I think a young Hoffman would have been a great alternative to Paul Dano in There Will Be Blood.
@@possessedslig or like a PT Anderson movie starring DDL, Phillip Seymour Hoffman and Joaquin Phoenix together, imagine that, the holy trinity of PT Anderson movies
I think he was better.
But hey... That's just me.
I actually think that in terms of displaying real emotions, Hoffman did it slightly better than Day-Lewis, but i still can't decide which one's overall better actor
@@DC-zi6se yes that is just you
Phillip Seymour Hoffman the king of supporting actors. RIP Master
Calling him supporting actors is disrespectful, most of his best roles came as a lead
He's dead? Ouch
@@yogeshtripathi6120 well said!
I repeated 😄
The Master, what a great one.
Thats too stereotypical
what? So little love for Synecdoche? Arguably his best performance?
Johnny Stevens for real. I was thinking the same thing
I think it's hard for some to fully appreciate given the nature of the film.
I personally think Hoffman is the best part of it, but I don't feel like the film let's him get past it's own, for the lack of a better word, indulgences. Synechdoche it's really big hit or big miss for most.
@@emigrant1510 biggest hit of my life.
@@nowhereman6019 Glad to hear that. I've just never been able to like it.
He genuinely was one of the greatest of all time.
he is truly "THE MASTER"
I think what made Philip so incredible was his ability to take any role given to him and make it human. His every word, movement, and emotion seemed to come from the depth of his soul. No matter what role he played, whether it was comedic, villainous, or dramatic, it seemed so real.
The villainous part was all real. He left his kids and wife nothing in the will as he didn't want "trust fund babies" but his family was in dire need of some cash. A cool million or less could have helped his family and he has $35M. I don't know but he seemed like a bastard because of this and he wasn't shy but hardly talked to anyone as he had little time for fans. But he was a great actor.
I swear he is my favorite actor of all time. It is so sad to loose him so soon.
Too soon... still hurts.
This perfectly summarises how I feel about him. In my opinion there’s never been a greater range in a body of work by an actor. If only he had more time
Range, depth, versatility - everything. He is the greatest American actor ever.
Only, Gary Oldman probably is better or as good as him.
@@DC-zi6se Also Daniel Day Lewis. Those 3 are the greatest actors of their generation
The first time I legit cried over a celebrity's death is for him. RIP The Master of acting
That scene in the car from "Before the Devil knows you're dead" may be my favorite of him. Such a despicable character, yet he makes me feel so sympathetic to him. What an absolute master.
I haven’t seen the film and without any context, this scene still made me tear up. Shows how great of an actor he was.
Even in just 20 years he played in more legendary roles than all but very few actors ever have. Such a big loss to the world of film (beyond obviously the personal loss to those who knew him) . Who knows how many more great performances or even entire films that cannot be made now without him.
He was amazing , it was so natural , like it didnt look it was acting at all. His expressions too when he even hadnt any dialogue. I mean he was always on point.
He's absolutely hypnotic on screen. My favorite actor ever.
Legend
Thank you. Philip Seymour Hoffman is my favourite actor of all time, and this is the most beautiful video I've seen dedicated to him.

Watch this video if you liked this one. It is eye opening to the ability and range of Philip Seymour Hoffman. I made a point to see the movies of his I hadn't yet seen after watching it.
Joshua Tozer Holy shit. This video got deleted from TH-cam and I couldn't find it. Thank you!
He is best actor I've ever seen in my whole life
One of the best actors of all time
Think I'll watch all his movies now.
Thanks
Phillip Seymour Hoffman had brilliant acting skills. My favorite film featuring him was "Capote". He embodied Truman Capote so completely, right down to the lisp in his voice.
He was one of the greatest actors of all time. I miss him so much...
A brilliant talent, and totally underrated. He has wowed me many times. You can just tell he was an awesome soul, and if he wasn't, then that would be a testament to his acting talents, again!
For me what i loved the most was how he was able to truly disappear into his characters there's not one single movie i've seen with him that i can tell "that's Phillip Seymour Hoffman" there are so many great actors that i can tell ok this is "him or her" this is something he kinda always uses on his characters, but with Philip it always felt like a real completly different person everytime, so awesome! specially because he didn't had to go through a extreme transformation phisichally to achieve this
Synecdoche New York is my favourite film of all time
🖤🖤 It would be lovable a video-mix of all his "rage attacks" of the different movies
I truly believe Philip Seymour Hoffman was the actor of a generation. He had such an uncanny ability to elevate whatever movie he was in instantly from MI:3 to The Hunger Games series to his starring role in Capote.
One of cinemas greatest actors of all time
Miss him. Miss his acting.
Amazing actor and a genuine, sensitive, and intelligent man. A huge loss in many many ways.
I just discovered, few days ago, that Philip Seymour Hoffman is one of the best actors in history. Unbelievable talent.
I still miss him so much it hurts
One of cinemas greatest workers and most phenomenal character actors!! Still very missed 😔 so many memorable performances x
He had so many more great performances in him. One of the greatest actors, he was such an immense talent.
Six years since his passing. Still my favourite.
The last line resonates a lot with me.
Yes we do miss him so so much.
Aargh, rest up sire, rest up 🙏
I'm still in disbelief every time it occurs to me that he's gone forever. Love Liza is my favorite PSH film.
"May be" ? Philip Seymour Hoffman IS one of the Most Versatile and one of the Greatest actor of All Time.
His best performance is The Master what a great performance and amazing actor.
There’s been some great comments, I simply want to add: there’s a lot of wonderful actors from the past 50 years. Other than Daniel Day Lewis, no one else comes close to Philip Seymour Hoffman.
Daniel Day Lewis isn't that great. he lacks much emotion.
@@nope4216 er what? First time I've ever seen anyone claim DDL lacks emotion, he's so emotionally invested in his characters he literally gets depressed after finishing the role. Bizarre claim.
His role as a priest was his greatest achievement and it seems to echo on and on to this day... Lol
Thanks for the video. You made me think about how grateful we should be to those actors.
So great to see such appreciation of perhaps the greatest actor of all time.
I loved him so much.
Let me qualify this: James Gandalfini & Edie Falco & Daniel-Day are all up there too... But there was something about phil... God damn it. You know it's true because you can't put it into words... god damn it
I feel devastated, I didn't even meet him before I leave this earth 😭
Amazing video. My favorite actor to have ever lived. Miss him greatly. Thanks a lot!
How to miss someone you've never met - all these years after his tragic death I miss seeing his brilliant acting. My heart breaks for his family and friends.
One of the best actor's of my time, no doubt would've been one of the greatest!
Such talent taken much too soon!
PSH may you R.I.P. ❤
He gave us so much.I'm so grateful.R.I.P. Philip!!!
Absolute genius and sorely missed 😪😪😪
God Damn I miss his movies and his talent so much. He really put out some really enjoyable performances.
You missed synecdoche, happiness and a most wanted man
And "Mary and Max"
When he played Owen Davian in MI 3 was incredible. It was with this movie portrayal that i got attached with his performance in other movies
The most versatile and greatest actor to ever live...may his soul rest eternally
Keep these up. Currently one of my favorite channels. Can’t wait to see this channel blow up like it rightfully should. Love it!!
That scene in "Before the Devil Knows You're Dead" in wich PSH cries in the car is the most real crying act I have ever seen in my life and is the epiphany that turned me to decide being an actor. I owe PSH for making my life meaningful.
BONUS: The also crying scene in "Savages". Equally briliant.
I miss him so much!
I wanted to hang out with his Twister character. Philip was believable in every single part he played. I wish I knew why he had demons.
The greatest of all time
Thank you Fandor! Awesome job, and, like several posters have said. it's difficult to forget this phenomenal talent!
Doubt and Capote. An incredible actor and influence.
I liked him in Scent of a Woman
That was a Great Movie.
It’s a damn shame we lost him too soon. I would have liked to have seen more from him.
God rest his soul, one of my all time favs.
One of the greatest actors ever
Thank you for posting this. Appreciate seeing PSH still being talked about years down the road.
Why we miss Philip Seymour Hoffman
amazing man should be with us still RIP
RIP to this legend
Hoffman and Robin Williams are my favorite actors of all time. Seeing them in Patch Adams, was a privilege!
He was good could not help but get drawn to him and see something Beautiful. x
you made a chart which shows the screen time for the actors/actresses in a 124-second scene??? I just subscribed. you deserve so much more attention for the work you put into these videos.
You should make a "Why We Love Tilda Swinton"!
I suggest checking out A Most Wanted Man, the final film released before his death. He plays a German character and absolutely nails it. Very underrated movie not enough people have seen.
You are still loved and missed ❤️ The greatest
R.I.P Philip Seymour Hoffman
Forever missed 💔
missed u philip ....rip
Gone too soon
Miss you everyday phil
He is brilliant!!
Great video, thanks for making and sharing
He was great in 'Happiness'.
He so was! One of my favourite films even though it’s ridiculously uncomfortable
My favorite role of his, and the one in which he seemed the most matched with every other actor, has to be Mary and Max. My all time favorite movie. He plays a man with Asperger's syndrome is the best portrayal I have ever seen, and as an actor with Asperger's syndrome myself, I find myself asking "how the FUCK did he do it?!?"
Even in films where he only has a small supporting role such as in Almost Famous he still has the power to move you like he did in that scene with the phone call, fuck man r.i.p to Phil Hoffman we really lost someone special.
i miss him
One complete actor
Doubt is by far his best film in my opinion.
miss him everyday ;/
what a great video
what about his voice tone and how he control it .. Brilliant
RIP Legend
I loved his portrayal of Art Howel in Moneyball he was like the real guy but it was perfect for the movie
I can't stand mission impossible but he's so goood he made me love that 1 film
One of the best MI opening scene. So damn good.
I don’t understand why was his film Synecdoche ignored? It’s fantastic.
This was a really great video. You could go deeper into the subject and stretch out the run time for sure, but the 4minute video also makes it easy watch the video and go over to the next one so. You have earned my sunscription.
Dam it’s been 6 years. Never realized how good of actor he was
RIP legend
I couldn't agree more than with two last sentences of yours in this video.
You just got yourself a new sub because of that, bro. :)
R.I.P.Philip.
