He played my uncle Christy Brown in my left foot which he won an Oscar for He is such a great humble caring funny person and having met and worked with him on the film the boxer and after with my family with his wife just amazing human being! Lives a humble life in his most favourite place and has roots in ireland 🇮🇪 uk and Us! what am method actor though 🙏
I was reading a book about the last discovered American Indian, "Ishi", while I was working in a theater. DDL came by the theater and saw me reading the book and asked about it. I told him about the Indian man's thoughts and the story about him. DDL stated he wished he had read the book before he did "Last of the Mohicans". I thought that was interesting that he was still interested in his character, wanting to inform the role, even after the film had been made.
He sort of answered. He doesn’t really have an aim, he’s just attempting to live the character and ignore his personal feelings about what he wanted for the character
I was actually looking for this comment. He is an excellent actor and also a good person off screen but I am always left wondering during his interviews what is he trying to say. I feel it’s not dodging just that his answer and my thinking are not synchronized so it doesn’t make sense to me but it might have to him.
People need to stop saying he is a Method actor. He is not, even HE cringes when somebody says the word "method". The Method was created by Strasberg after Stanislavski came to NY and follows sensory memory and work. Basically, personalizing every aspect of the character inner life to oneself. Staying in character for the duration of the whole production is not going method, is his own personal way of staying focused and working. Marilyn Monroe, Brando, Elia Kazan, Al Pacino, Eleonora Dusa, Dean, those are "method" actors in the sense that followed the teachings (sense memory) of Strasberg and other "method" teachers as Stella Adler (who didn´t get along with Lee) back in the days at the Group Theatre and the Actors Studio. DDL studied at Old´s Vic and had a "remarkable teacher" (quote) called Rudi Shelley who apparently designed his own version of Stanislavski´s system (himself didn´t like the word "method" or technique) - just as Lee did back in the day - and DDL adopted his WAY OF WORKING from there. But that is it, each system, technique, whatever you wanna call it, is a way for the individual actor/actress to work, it´s always maleable because it is supposed to serve each artist individually. But the "method" that everybody loves to mention, is a very specific system that 99% of the actors and actresses people name as "method actors", are simply not method actors. The best actors have their own system, and learn to combine the best aspects of each technique/method they visited before. Calling "Method actor" whomever decides to stay in character is a socialmedia trend.
@@samkresil6011 you can see it in his face everytime someone mentions the "Method". Because him staying in character is not method acting. Method acting is connecting one owns sensorial experiencies to te character. Staying in character is his own approach, and whistl nobody knows how he works *exactly* when alone (which might be sensorial), being rhe character in and out the set is his own approach. Moral of the story, being in character outside the set is not "method acting". (Its not better nor worse, it is simply not it)
At last. Someone who knows a little bit. I always get frustrated being on the internet when this subject comes up. What has to be mentioned though that all American "methods" whether it's Strasberg's or Adler's or whatever... are lesser versions and interpretations of Stanislavski's system. None of these people actually worked with or studied under Stanislavski. NONE. The only teacher in the US who could've tough Stanislavski was his student Michail Chekhov.
It is lovely to see his smile and pleasant expression. He is so intense in his roles, the smile isn’t there for the most part. I loved him as Hawkeye in “The Last of the Mohicans” running through the forests.
Well, for that reason you already explained. It was a compliment. Lewis is complete opposite of Daniel Plainview and that makes to appreciate his acting skills even more. The character was just so real and believable.
0:52: I was about to comment that at the beginning of the video...he couldn't possibly have heard it for the first time after filming, given all the stories I hear about Spielberg going to see him, etc, asking him to do the film before they even agreed, lol...
I want to see a movie where the cast consist of Daniel Day Lewis playing different characters and interact with one another. You would not be able to tell them apart.
This is so sad - he places such emphasis on the joy of this work, how deeply he feels this joy - and you can see he means it - and then after the next film he quits acting - I know this isn't the first time he's said he's quitting - and I can see how Phantom Thread might make him newly self-conscious about his process, if that's what happened - anyway, I hope he opts to resume his acting
A human should choose to pursue different areas. Especially if you are prone to engagement on obsessive levels, it's for the better to turn your back for a while
It's not all joyful though he has a whole range of emotions and sometimes depression after a project ends he's the best because he puts his heart and soul into his work but that's exhausting likely.
no man for any considerable period can wear one face to himself and another to the multitude without finally getting bewildered as to which may be the true
Gotta try to name it somehow... Even he has a bit of difficulty trying to describe something almost undescribable. It is said he spoke with the accent of Bill the Butcher for months after completing the film. That's how dedicated he gets.
Mostly its a term used for actor that prepare rigorously for the role, for weeks months and sometimes even a year and also research the role extensively. Instead of just learning the lines with perfect voice diction and pretty gestures.
I always wondered did actors become the character so much so that they suffered the premier / missed the character / pull characteristics from them ~~ I couldn’t find much. Ofc DDL says so
We aren't watching a man describe method acting. In fact, Daniel Day-Lewis is not a man, he's many men. The one we are hearing is just the one he chooses to portray in his daily life.
Brando couldn't even come close. Brando stopped doing method acting in the mid seventies, after last Tango in Paris. Because he just couldn't handle it. It became too painful for him, and he stopped using real emotions after that. Lewis has mastered it, because after all these years, though he has had moments where it got to him, like turning down Interview with a vampire because of it. he still to this day, will submerge himself and become another person, to where, like he says here, it seems like someone else played the part.
Demonic possesion isn't what you would call method acting. This man has been traumatized and his personality split on purpose. This is deranged and sad. Then again, Most of our population of unstable people are living on the streets, making 0 money for their derangement.
He's so humble and down-to-earth. He seems to kind and genuine. Hands down, most talented actor working today.
Imo Denzel is as talented as Daniel. He's also humble and genuine. Both are one of the best actors today.
Sadly, he is now retired.
pmatusiak2000 Denzel can’t raise a pinky to DDL. Fan of both btw, but DDL is in his own league I think
Jackson Gondo couldn’t agree more. Denzel is great don’t get me wrong, but you can’t even mention him in the same breath as Daniel Day-Lewis
its scray to think that hes acting to give us that impression as well
The very essence that someone like daniel exists. Makes the world a better place to live
He played my uncle Christy Brown in my left foot which he won an Oscar for
He is such a great humble caring funny person and having met and worked with him on the film the boxer and after with my family with his wife just amazing human being! Lives a humble life in his most favourite place and has roots in ireland 🇮🇪 uk and Us!
what am method actor though 🙏
He is one of the greatest actors ever, with one of the most beautiful voices I’ve ever heard, listening to him is like music.
I was reading a book about the last discovered American Indian, "Ishi", while I was working in a theater. DDL came by the theater and saw me reading the book and asked about it. I told him about the Indian man's thoughts and the story about him. DDL stated he wished he had read the book before he did "Last of the Mohicans".

So you met Daniel Day-Lewis in person? Wow..... So lucky
His words themselves show the clarity he has about his work
This has got to be the most elaborate dodging the question I’ve seen, he completely got out of it.
He sort of answered. He doesn’t really have an aim, he’s just attempting to live the character and ignore his personal feelings about what he wanted for the character

Wait, he cringes whenever someone mentions "method" to him? :/ But it is what he does though. How he prepares himself for his roles.

@@jorgeanwaryoma3166 Yeah 0:04
That’s because he’s not an actor- period! He is the character(s) itself

Maybe the greatest actor ever
@David Smith with Henry Fonda , Anthony Hopkins, Jimmy Stewart, Jean Gabin
Yeah man he’s up there. Still never saw there will be blood. Going to watch it tonight I know I’m late.
🐐
Greatest of all time for me, no doubtie. Its so insane to think that his characters are all played by the same person.
The person you are is a thousand times more interesting than the best actor you could ever hope to be.”
It is lovely to see his smile and pleasant expression. He is so intense in his roles, the smile isn’t there for the most part. I loved him as Hawkeye in “The Last of the Mohicans” running through the forests.
This guy must write a book
I'm buying it
He loses himself in the character so he's not sure how he did it
Its almost disturbing to watch this after seeing his work in There Will Be Blood.
Well, for that reason you already explained. It was a compliment. Lewis is complete opposite of Daniel Plainview and that makes to appreciate his acting skills even more. The character was just so real and believable.
It's more disturbing seeing this after Gangs of Newyork
Hahaha ikr
I DRINK YOU MILKSHAKE
I agree. Bill the Butcher especially.
His accent is like a mister of Ewan McGregor and George Harrison
0:52: I was about to comment that at the beginning of the video...he couldn't possibly have heard it for the first time after filming, given all the stories I hear about Spielberg going to see him, etc, asking him to do the film before they even agreed, lol...
I want to see a movie where the cast consist of Daniel Day Lewis playing different characters and interact with one another. You would not be able to tell them apart.
He would have to method act and live as each character for years. So that film would take like 20 years to make lol
You'll see him actually try to gain multiple personalities.
True
This is so sad - he places such emphasis on the joy of this work, how deeply he feels this joy - and you can see he means it - and then after the next film he quits acting - I know this isn't the first time he's said he's quitting - and I can see how Phantom Thread might make him newly self-conscious about his process, if that's what happened - anyway, I hope he opts to resume his acting

Daniel Day Lewis 👏👏👏
Better than Olivier? YES! He's the greatest of ALL time!
Lol not even close
Brando, Olivier, Pacino, Hoffman, Day Lewis, Nicholson, Denzel, Bale, Joaquin, Di Caprio.
Weird how you didn’t use Denzel or Joaquin’s second names but you did for everyone else.
@@MINDxWORM guess i didnt think mich about it 🙂
I like how you acknowledged Brando first!
and you couldn't list a single woman...? Acting is acting.
I find him insanely hot. He’s over 40 years older than me lol.
It’s the class and poise! Very attractive qualities!
Total immersion. My question is, how far do you go before you forget who you are? Jim Carrey talks about this when he played Andy Kaufman.
no man for any considerable period can wear one face to himself and another to the multitude without finally getting bewildered as to which may be the true
This person talks as if he don't know that he is the world's greatest actor
Staying in character isn't method acting that's just research to understand the character better.
He's just so beautiful
king of acting
His method acting scares the piss out of me he is so damn good
goat
🐐
'Method Acting'. The way this phrase is banded about is ridiculous.
That's what he is notoriously known for doing...
Gotta try to name it somehow... Even he has a bit of difficulty trying to describe something almost undescribable.
It is said he spoke with the accent of Bill the Butcher for months after completing the film. That's how dedicated he gets.
Bandied*
Mostly its a term used for actor that prepare rigorously for the role, for weeks months and sometimes even a year and also research the role extensively. Instead of just learning the lines with perfect voice diction and pretty gestures.
So basically, he’s just gifted af. He truly is though
When asked about method acting, he describes multiple personality disorder. That has to be partly why he quit.
!!!
He is the "Marlon Brando" of my generation.
I always wondered did actors become the character so much so that they suffered the premier / missed the character / pull characteristics from them ~~ I couldn’t find much. Ofc DDL says so
Yeah, he's right. He doesn't go in interviews going on about what he did to get in character. Other people talk about it!
We aren't watching a man describe method acting. In fact, Daniel Day-Lewis is not a man, he's many men. The one we are hearing is just the one he chooses to portray in his daily life.
Should I have one channel for each passion I have?
Kuya Manzano sure
Ohhh how gorgeous is he.
Bravissimo e fascinoso
Yes.
Major actors most of the time do not reveal their acting technique...I don't why???
I drink your milkshake..... I drink it aaaaalll up
Only Brando was better because he was first to master method completely.
Brando couldn't even come close. Brando stopped doing method acting in the mid seventies, after last Tango in Paris. Because he just couldn't handle it. It became too painful for him, and he stopped using real emotions after that. Lewis has mastered it, because after all these years, though he has had moments where it got to him, like turning down Interview with a vampire because of it. he still to this day, will submerge himself and become another person, to where, like he says here, it seems like someone else played the part.
this journalist hasnt watched Day-Lewis interviews before.
Jordan Peterson got a golden globe.
Demonic possesion isn't what you would call method acting. This man has been traumatized and his personality split on purpose. This is deranged and sad. Then again, Most of our population of unstable people are living on the streets, making 0 money for their derangement.
goat of goats
🐐👌
Bad Mthr fkin actor.
Good English actor who thinks he's Irish, dopey
Hardly a plastic paddy, though.
