Do people not realise that Daniel was actually playing Oprah in this clip?
oh shit! I didn't believe you until I went back and replayed it! You're right!
this made me laugh outloud
Nobody does it better. 😀
@Dan Evertt it was just a fun remark at his versatility. 😀
Now imagine what Daniel Night Lewis could do.
The difference is night and day
@@dylanharris3100 :)
I just fuck ur sense of humor bro
Lmfaooo this made me laugh hard
i laughed out loud! thx
The “Californian accent” in there will be blood is actually a Wisconsin accent. Day-Lewis read the script and noticed the main character is from Wisconsin, although it takes place in California. This is why he sounds so different from the rest of the cast.
It's more of a naturalized Californian-Wisconsinite accent.
TheMessenger now that’s layers
But hes not doing a Wisconsin accent at all, or even Upper Midwest. Hes doing a fairly broad middle-class (but old-fashioned) American accent, with some British influence on the rhythm and pitch for dramatic effect. Its his way of sounding like a "serious oil tycoon", but its non-regional.
He is from Wisconsin in the movie, but that's not the accent he speaks with at all. I think he speaks in a way he believes he'll be taken seriously, so not in an accent at all really. He wants to have command over everyone when he speaks. Maybe another layer to his hatred of Eli and his mocking of Eli's preacher way of speaking
@@conorobrien1025 agreed
Day-Lewis doesn’t just change his accent. He changes the way he moves, his posture, his cadence, his eyes, the entire atmosphere he creates changes with the character he needs to play.
he’s a master at his craft
He’s the best I have ever seen. Unbelievable.
He doesn't even look like himself in most of these roles, all of them somehow all look like different people despite no prosthetics. Crazy.
I would make some sarcastic comment like "that's what acting is" but you're right, he somehow changes his entire being with every role, most actors seemingly aren't capable of that - DDL is another level
But also he changes accents.
Daniel Day Lewis isn't recognisable between movies
He's a superb actor
Agreed. If you compare it to your average Hollywood star like Tom Cruise, who can only climb on the set an play himself, it's like night and day difference. Dustin Hoffman is another similarly talented actor, and I think Johnny Depp was also very good, back then in movies like Dead Man.
@welsh logic It's called "acting skills", not "chameleon", and if you cannot play different, varied characters, you don't have it. Most Hollywood stars don't have it.
You obviously have never seen Arnold Schwarzenegger
The best. Ever.
Gary Oldman is another one of those rare method actors.
I realized a week ago my mirror has been broken for years, it was just Daniel Day Lewis playing me on the other side
Hes so sneaky
this is insanr
Another actor who is destined for DDL-type greatness is Tom Hardy. I'm pretty good at recognizing regional accents within a nationality, but I couldn't figure out where he was from after watching several of his movies; I had to look online. And he seems to be everywhere, in every film that's come out in the past few years. The other day I was watching my wedding video and I'll be damned if Tom wasn't the maid of honor. 👰🏿
@@robertlewis1875
Tom Hardy isn’t anything special. He changes his looks and accents for his movies but he plays everything the exact same way. It can only be described as Sensitive mumbling tough guy
@@ruly8153 I used to think the same thing about John Wayne, but after watching _The Searchers, The Cowboys, The Shootist, The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance_ and _True Grit,_ I saw that his range was crucially dependant on having a director that wouldn't put up with his control games. I don't know if Tom Hardy needs that, but his work in _Legend,_ while illustrating your criticism to some degree in one brother, flies off into manic frenzy in the other. Especially when he's fighting himself. In _Dunkirk_ his role, while smaller, shows him as a dedicated, upper class gentleman Spitfire pilot, pip-pip, cheerio, and all that, donchew know. But I was really impressed with the way he allowed us to see simultaneously the ostensibly shy, almost timid character in _The Drop_ (with the late James Gandolfini) who couldn't quite hide the seething menace he barely kept stuffed underneath his skin. It escaped suddenly once, but sucked back beneath the blood-covered surface just as suddenly to offer gentle comfort to a shocked and shaken witness to the transformation that saved her life. He glowed pure, cowardly, unbathed evil while he simpered to curry favor with superiors in _The Revenant,_ an Alejandro G. Iñárritu film I could have sworn was directed by Terrence Malick because of its style. There's no such thing as a bad opinion, but perhaps yours would benefit from viewing the aforementioned films. Even if you don't agree, they're all top notch endeavors.
His performance in There Will Be Blood is quite simply one of the best I've seen. An acting masterpiece
Overrated.
@@andyblood4805 ok Andi
@@andyblood4805 Sure boomer whatever you say, he won an Oscar anyways
The whole movie was very compelling but nothing beats the last scene in TWBB.
@@andyblood4805 aight Andy, what's the best performance then?
he’s really good in the 90s, top level. But then somehow goes up a notch in Gangs of New York. Then goes up even further in There Will Be Blood. Then tops it off as Lincoln, it’s outrageous how good he is
Yeah I have to admit I feel that he improved massively as he got a bit older.
It’s absolutely outrageous.
His performance in There Will Be Blood lives in my head rent free. I feel like after seeing his performance in that, it somehow latched on to my psychic, and it’s as if his character was a real, Important historical figure or someone that I knew long ago
nah he didnt top twbb thats for sure
You got me in the first half you sun of a gun
His Scottish accent is better than mine and I'm Scottish 😂
buhahahha made mine day !
It's extremely rare to find anyone with a good Scottish accent aswell. 95% of Scottish accents are total shite.

It’s amazing how he becomes a completely different person. His accents are just the start. He changes his whole look and ever character has completely different mannerisms and ways of carrying themselves. He literally becomes another person when he does his movie roles.
It's called acting.
For that he is my favorite Actor all times
@@michaelburke5907 actually ti's method acting. For his role in there will be blood he prepared by living on his own in a shed for a couple of months, without any human contact, just so he could grow into the role. For another movie he had to play someone in a wheelchair, and he insisted he didn't leave the chair while on set. So the set members had to carry him+chair onto the set at times, cursing his name. He said he used that people hated his attitude and used it for his role as a paraplegic because that's some of the shit disabled people get as well. He's the only method actor I know that really pays off with his pretty crazy work before the actual shooting. He definitely goes far beyond beyond a 'I'll gain/lose a lot of weight' that is fashionable for some actors.
@@michaelburke5907 it should be, but very few people can pull it off at such a level. You can barely recognise DDL in each of these roles.
His portrayal of Christy Brown is insane good, I can hear the a strong Irish accent behind the cerebral palsy. Probably the best acting ever recorded right there.
Lee
Look up the real Christy Brown on RTÉ interview in 1962 more charismatic then the current president of the good ole us of a, a bit harder to understand obviously for the film they had to make it a bit clearer how ppl could fully understand, Christy Brown is my uncle and fkn proud of it and DDay playing him 👌✊👍
The support actors were great too, a. Real gem
@@gabhandebrun1871 The silent movie era was populated with actors who did very convincing accents. Too bad we'll never hear them. And those films were all shot in color. It's just that the world was black and white monochromatic until the late '40s.
I made a John Wayne video like this, it was 3 seconds.
Underrated comment
You could say the same for Arnold 🤣
Well isn't that the difference? He WAS John Wayne... it's a great enough burden just being himself. DDL pretends to be others (and no one does it better) because we are more interested in them than him. In that regard he is much like Peter Sellers.
A bit off topic, but it's about acting:
For many years I was pretty dismissive of John Wayne's acting chops, too; I said he could only act like John Wayne. But a couple-3 years ago I watched _Stagecoach,_ _The Searchers,_ and _The Cowboys,_ as well as _The Shootist_ when it was first released in 1976. He does well to varying degrees in all of them, but my response to his emotional reaction to a rape/murder in _The Searchers_ early in the plot, and at the end of the film when he walks out of the dark cabin into the bright desert sunlight took me by surprise. I realised then that he was a lazy actor, who would run roughshod over a timid director; but with a firm director (usually John Ford) who called him out on his power games, he was capable of great work. But he still couldn't do accents.
John Wayne is an exceptional talent Have you seen the searchers. Exceptional talent I agree that he's not near the versatility Daniel day Louis is. John Wayne is a fine after 1 of the greatest
Daniel Day Lewis really does have a perfect career. He’s been the hero, the villain, and everything in between.
His performance in There Will be Blood is absolutely incredible.

In "Gangs" and "Blood," he scares the crap out of me. He seems 7 foot tall and the fiercest man who ever lived. And then there's "Lincoln." Thank god we live in a time where recent biographers and filmmakers can present the real Lincoln, the genius and tortured soul of a president who saved this nation.
I'm afraid you're living in a lie. Your source materials were probably mainly historical coloring books and stale, naive Hollywood blown eggs like this movie. Stop being an useful idiot, see the flip side. Wish You luck.

I met him in nyc one day walking down the street- I went up to him and said Quietly I know you don’t like when people fawn over you but I am going to tell you you are an incredible actor and I smiled he shook my hand and that was the highlight of my day and he smiled too he was very gracious incredible incredible actor and man!!
One of the best in my book. He doesn’t act at all. He becomes the character.
Kevin Mcnamara it’s called method acting
Mohamed Ashian yes, not for the faint of heart though
Francisco Ceja I think you mean for the faint of brain if you know what I mean 😏
I’d go far as to say the best, best that I know of anyway.
Same with all good actors, its nothing new. But Daniel is the best actor to do it
I never recognize him in movies
Nether do I. He's brilliant
That's the mark of a brilliant actor. He succeeded in fooling you with his acting. Mission complete
because he's that good!
Yeah never knew he was in Gandhi
Then you have Nicholas Cage and The Rock, who play themselves in every movie
12:37 I remember seeing this years ago and being genuinely shocked at how incredible the acting was. I'd never seen anything like it
I always come across videos you comment on Will. Wowee
Glad to see you are a man of good culture Wilburgur
DDL in there will be blood is probably the best performance I’ve ever seen
Yeah, the kid is amazing in that scene
@@itswisse I left you a like because I can tell you thought that joke was going to do well
His acting is on another level, he totally convinces his audience that he is the character being portrayed. That is insane talent, especially when you see the variety and complexity of the roles shown here.
Someday we'll learn that he's actually a Russian named Gregory and "Daniel Day-Lewis" was just another character and accent.
Lmao
.
So underrated comment
If he was russian he'd be Grigori not Gregory
Holy shit, I've watched most of these movies and had no idea they were all that dude from Gangs of New York.
KiwiPokerPlayer :😆
@KiwiPokerPlayer ~ THE TRAIN JUST STOPPED TO KICK YOU OFF... Except, you clearly watch quality movies if Daniel Day-Lewis is in many of them. Yes, he is an amazing chameleon.
Brooo i know right
His best performance: there will be blood
Once I became a fan of Lewis I could never even take another male lead seriously.
The guy is arguably the greatest male lead that has ever lived.
His versatility is boundless.
And I love his other project back in the 80s and 90s, Daniel Day-Lewis and the News.
Great band.
I literally never recognize him in a movie. He looks different in each and every one of his movie.
That Belfast accent is impeccable.
Seems his father was from Belfast, so that was basically what he heard from his childhood
Not 100% impeccable, but certainly very good. Being from Belfast I did notice minor slips where some syllables sound in his native english accent. (for example a few points where he says more of a soft 'you' instead of a 'yay' or 'ye'.
It's nitpicking, but if you spoke exactly like that in Belfast trying to pass yourself off as local, you would defintely be spotted.
Alexander Bond *bows hat^
Bill the Butcher is the greatest movie character of all time.
@@Puddin127 yeah any other year and he would have got another Oscar for that performance. I still sometimes think he should have won but denzels performance in training day was amazing as well.
"In the name of the father" is one of the best movies ever made. A movie whose all actors and actresses were incredibly outperforming themselves. A must watch movie for sure
It's crazy that so few people ever heard of it. Maybe the slow start made people not finish it, but as it goes on the dread and hopelessness increases and you get emotionally attached to the story. Amazing film.
Hisham Ragheb yeah I watched that and that was what sold me on Daniel day lewis
I cry like a baby every time i watch it
I'm from Derry in the North of Ireland. I was 9 years old when it was released and it was obviously a huge hit over here . The boxer though not as gripping by means, is still a quality movie too
I'm from Belfast and it is a very hard accent to get right, he nailed it. In the Name of the Father is a fantastic film.
It's the most impressive one to me.
Daniel Day, was, is, and has always been amazing.
There will NEVER be an actor that will replace the ability of Daniel Day!
Overrated
"He spared me because he wanted me to live in shame, this was a great man!"-one of the greatest lines in cinema history!
what movies is this punchline coming from?
@@chrislove2018 Gangs of New York
One of the greatest movies. In my top 3
@@jakeofalltrades4361 thanks
Agreed.
Of the very few written descriptions of Lincoln's voice cadence and pitch was this:
“a thin tenor, or rather falsetto, voice, almost as high-pitched as a boatswain's whistle.” Others described it as “shrill” and “sharp,” which the New York Herald noted in February 1860 had “a frequent tendency to dwindle into a shrill and unpleasant sound.” Daniel Day Lewis is the only actor to capture that on film portraying Lincoln.
Wow I always thought it was gravelly
@@brianb8155 That's because every actor who ever played the part would do it in a deep, sonorous voice that they (or the director) imagined conveys a heavy, almost depressing dignity and seriousness, and it's human nature to apply that to the man. But Lincoln loved levity, and was an entertaining teller of jokes and tall tales, in addition to being an unrepentant practical joker. And he was destined to serve in a very unfunny time.
😮
Bullshit
@@charliehornchurch4050 stfu and read a book Charlie
I'm from South Africa and I've seen no other actor nail a South Aftican accent as well as him. The greatest actor of our generation.
his American accent is just amazing, especially cause he evokes 19th and early 20th century accents...
That's why he's better than Brando, Pacino and Deniro, those guys couldn't change their dialect from an Italian tough guy to save their lives.
MerkinMuffly well DeNiro in Awakenings is far away from his typical Italian tough guy act.
Caleb Seacrist The only performances from De Niro that I know of being a far cry from his New York accent is a deep south twang in _Angel Heart_ and _Cape Fear_
I believe they are as good as he is.
I think there are two kinds of actors: those who create a unique character with such an incredible personanlity that they immediatly mark movie acting forever and they stick to that character that they invented.
And there are those who transform themselves into many different characters, and they are capable of completely changing their personnality, voice, look, etc
I think both types are impressive and deserve as much recognition.
Brando did a south african accent near the end of his career and got a nomiantion for it
Agree.
Nobody throws themselves so deep into a character like Day Lewis.
The only one close is Gary Oldman. What Daniel does with his voice and emotion, Oldman does with voice and appearance. Daniel has the edge when it comes to dialect and vocal tone. Very exact.
True
You forget heath ledger (The dark knight) and Adrien Brody (the pianist)
Should watch Joaquin Phoenix
Christian Bale, though.
Literally the greatest actor of our time in terms of inhabiting his roles. You can like or dislike the movie or even the performance, but his transformations are undeniable.
Great 👍 actor but barely the best. I have watched better
@@JM-fs3cg 🤣🤣🤣
@@JM-fs3cg for example:
That scene in Gangs of New York between Amsterdam and Bill The Butcher is perhaps the best acting I've ever seen. His intonation, his facial expressions, the way his breathing is struggling when talking about the beating he took from the priest. It's absolute perfection.
he steals the show in Gangs Of New York every seen he is in is captivating
There are great actors, there are amazing talented actors and there is Daniel Day-Lewis
Pepe_ Nacho_
Yeah. But De Niro is better🙂
@@Gma00001 de Niro is fantastic, doesn't have the diversity of DDL and Oldman though, his " de niroisms" carry through in all of his roles
@@Gma00001 objectively DDL has won more Oscar's, depends how you define "better" deer hunter and taxi driver are in my top 10 films, I love de Niro btw
Zeke Edwards
Yeah he won more oscar’s...
But... de Niro deserved more Oscar's. Mainly the Deer Hunter, Taxi Driver Awakenings and Cape Fear.
Anyway dude. Two legendary actors
@@Gma00001 agree. Day Lewis picks his roles carefully, de Niro is more prolific but has also made some crap! (Rocky and bullwinkle etc) but I agree de niros performances in his early career are a masterclass and worthy of an oscar
I think the bad haircuts help produce the accents.
He did say his hat in there will be blood influenced his character so probably hairstyles and costumes play a part.
John Howerton honestly it’s the mindset, the way you have your facial expressions stuff like that.
Definitely 😂
Without a doubt.
@@AnnaLVajda Good call. It was the same with certain elements of Bill the Butcher as well. The man is a true chameleon with an archaic ability to tap into the energy of just about anyone ever. He seems to be able to assume identities like a glamour or something. My favorite actor of all time.
So what Nationality are you Daniel? Daniel Lewis: All of them
Adopted Irishman actually
Tadgh Murphy he’s English
@@hl8808 Which is why said adopted...
He was born in London to an Irish father and a Jewish mother.
@flip inheck Daniel Day Lewis has Irish-British Citizenship. His father, who was born in the Irish town of Ballintubbert, County Laois, was of Protestant Anglo-Irish descent, granted he lived in England from the age of two. Day-Lewis' mother was Jewish; her Jewish ancestors were immigrants to England in the late 19th century, from Latvia and Poland.
Lincolns biographer, in 1867, told a crowd that Abraham Lincoln did the best Daniel Day-Lewis impression he'd ever seen.
The transformation from Age of Innocence to In the Name of the Father is just stunning. He doesn't even look like a same actor.
It's the mannerisms as well. He literally becomes another person so what we see is a completely different guy on screen.
It's like he's doing what he's paid to do /s
But yeah, he is in a class of his own. Hat's off.
Yes, tremendous
I wonder if Daniel Day Lewis could play "Daniel Day Lewis" in his own Biopic? How would he prepare for his greatest and most challenging role??? 🤔
Dayception!

It was one god damn hell of a show.
KLD that’s no act, he was all those people.
The sheer range of this actor is astounding. I couldn’t believe the difference in voice and character of There Will Be Blood and how he is in real life, and just the sheer amount of different varying roles he’s done.
His voice is a lot deeper in TWBB compared with his natural voice. Truly incredible.
A little odd to describe Hawkeye’s accent as “English”. Day Lewis is clearly Americanising his accent to some extent in that movie. He may have been aiming for something a little trans-Atlantic but it certainly isn’t “English”.
They forgot to include his Czech accent from The Unbearable Lightness of Being. One of my favorites.
Yes ...
"Take off your clothes" He won my heart in my late teens by his delicious accent and correct grammar.
Hey, every once in awhile you have to cancel a Czech.
I never knew it was him
It's not just the accents he's doing, the actual scenes are captivating. Such an actor, without peer.

Martin Scorsese should've tried by all means to put him in The Irishman
@Rodycaz Apparently he was anxious to play Vincent Vega in Pulp Fiction.
@Rodycaz I agree - I can't imagine anyone other than John Travolta in that iconic role.
@Rodycaz thank god he didn't cast in any of Tarantino's movies.. they're god awful
@Rodycaz it's also a cute opinion of yours to think his movies are great and not overrated
Daniel M. The Irishman was a self indulgent piece of garbage. It was just an excuse for that pompous crew to jerk each other off.
He goes way beyond accents. He absorbs the character. He is truly living when expressing himself.
Daniel Day Lewis is without a doubt top 10 of the best actors in history. Along with Marlon Brando, James Stewart, Laurence Olivier, Richard Burton, Al Pacino, Robert De Niro, Jack Nicholson, Denzel Washington and Paul Newman.
I think Anthony Hopkins needs to be in your list.
Bill the Butcher - my #1 favorite roll played by my #1 favorite actor. As a linguist with a particular focus on the development of dialects and accents, when it comes to portrayals of dialects and accents in film and theatre, in my opinion it just doesn't get any better than Daniel Day Lewis. The man is a REAL treat to the ears of a dialectologist... the effort he puts into getting even the smallest details (the kind that only people like me would even notice, much less care about) is second to none!
The only ones in this list that I'd take any issue with is the 17th century English accent - although I don't consider it his fault... it's exceptionally rare - nigh unheard of - to portray pre-19th century English accents as they ACTUALLY were, but rather to just default to using regular British pronunciation of some variety (regional or non-regional, depending on the character and context) and sort of "dress it old", so to speak (i.e. make it sound "overly formal").
One trait that sticks out like a sore thumb to me that he's using there is his rhotic vocalization (otherwise known as "r-dropping"), which is extremely pervasive throughout the dialects of England now. To the point that, today, only 2 regions of England maintain any sort of rhotic-speaking population: many West Country dialects, and the dialect of Lancashire. In the 17th century, though, EVERY dialect of English was strongly r-pronouncing - systematic non-rhotic speech hadn't developed yet.
Thank you for this great comment!
@@TonyB34 Haha after I posted it I immediately felt like it was way too wordy and that most people would just TD;DR it 😛
I'm glad some people are apparently getting something out of it 🙂
Great comment. Very interesting about 17th-century pronunciations.
Yeah, his voicework in GONY is a linguistics anthropology masterclass; you can hear how the Irish brogue slowly drifted into a Brooklyn accent
I think Gary Oldman is just as good
Daniel day Lewis would have made a perfect Freddie Mercury
He would have made a perfect Joan of Arc.
Andrew Casie Chitty Di you ever see DDL and Freddie in the same room though?
Case closed
he would have made a perfect me, even better
He would have made a perfect anything. Perfect queen of fucking England.
DDL would have made the perfect father of my children. Ok bye!
Daniel Day-Lewis was obviously born to be an actor. Pure natural talent. We're all lucky that he found it, and we can enjoy each and every movie he's been in.
This man deserves ALL the Oscars. Such a tremendous talent. And only chooses roles based on character!
This is why he's my fav actor, he just dissapear into his characters I would love to see him more often.
I can't wait for his new project with Paul thomas anderson!!
Cynthia Talavera I feel like it's both a good and bad thing he works so infrequently. It gives him so much time to prepare for roles and make magic but we miss out on so much of him!
to much of something good is nauseating. I like that he comes out every five years. We're not saturated with seeing him in 3 movies a year like Mark Wahlberg
Why does no one comment on how freaking good looking DDL is?
Especially in Last of the Mohicans. Dude looked like a god.
Don’t know what he looks like. Just watched a 15 minute video about him. Still no clue.
So gay
mehdi achouri that’s unnecessary
@@mehdiachouri so 4th grade
Its not just the accent but also the voice modulation technique, which has made his perfomances look so different and amazing each and every time....
Daniel Day-Lewis in my left foot, just a classic movie 👌🏼
Remember when there were a few people complaining after it was announced that Lincoln wasn't being cast as an American? Holy lord there isn't one man in America that could have played Lincoln as spot perfect as DDL.
well there isnt another British actor who could have done better either. The best actor alive aside, Clint Eastwood in his prime years would have played Lincoln from a more historically accurate perspective. Daniel Day Lewis' script portrayed a much more jovial character than the melancholy man who spent most of his life in varying stages of depression. Virgo Mortensen who was actually born in NYC would have played an excellent Lincoln too. Just add a beard to his Russian gangster character in Eastern Promises and he's halfway there.
I've watched Gangs Of New York too many times to count, but a part of me still refuses to believe that Daniel Day-Lewis played Bill the Butcher.
Too fucking good.
Spot on mate, that's how I feel
He's not only looks different but also sounds different in all his movie....
greatest actor alive
De Niro but Daniel is close
His voice changes are clearly a sign of him turning into a different person as he gets into character that’s what makes him a brilliant actor but scary at the same time.
Imagine gangs of new york with out bill the butcher. Imo its scorsese's worst film but ddl's character is mesmerising and he makes it a good movie.
Yeah. Scorsese is probably the most overrated director imo. The only masterpieces he's made was Raging Bull, Taxi Driver, and maybe one other. WOWS was really entertaining, I'll give it that. I think Silence is his worst film though. I've tried watching it three times, and had to stop because I almost fell asleep each time. And I'm a pretentious film snob that loves slow movies lmao
Gangs, there will be blood and departed. All highly rewatch able flix

@@mrglass5286 This shit is exactly what I'm talking about. If you don't say that Martin Scorsese is a director god, people get upset and/or start name calling in incredulity. Scorsese is great. He's made a few masterpieces. Taxi Driver is one of my favorite movies lmao. I LOVED Shutter Island. I acknowledge his achievements and he deserves praise.
Goddamn. This man disappears into role like no other. Absolute legend.
2:02 he looks like he's looking for his friend Gavin.

I love all of Lewis’s characters. He immerses himself into his titled role and is the best in the industry. He needs to be respected for being who he is and most importantly how professional he is. Thank you Mr Lewis for your passion in your roles and my all time favorite is Abraham Lincoln. Thank you sincerely. You are the best.
What a legend. The man’s dedication to his craft is impressive.
His best accent is in Gangs of New York (it's literally perfect if you're knowledgeable on the subject) and second would be There Will Be Blood.
You were alive back then? You must be very old!
Red Floyd apparently it’s LITERALLY perfect, which is something you can’t glean from the sources you describe.

This is in my mind the greatest actor to ever exist.
This was a great man.
imagine this guy being in the passion of christ from mel gibson
Lewis' voice in 'There Will Be Blood' literally convinces me that I'm observing a malevolent oil tycoon in the flesh.
A more appropriate name for his Last of the Mohicans accent is "Early American."
1750's american accent is nothing like that though. if anything it would be a mix and mash of different european accents that mostly resemble that of there origin. English colonist's would sound enlgish and so on.
@@Ares14 The only movie (miniseries) I've really seen get this right is John Adams with Paul Giamatti: www.imdb.com/title/tt0472027
@@m0tbaillie "John Adams" has many things to commend it, but as a linguist I especially appreciated the linguistic accuracy of that miniseries. It still amazes me that someone actually cared enough to devote that kind of time and effort to make that happen!
There Will Be Blood - stand out vocal performance, lives and breaths the character. It really couldn't be acted by anyone else.
Perfection...
I think his Lincoln is of similar caliber
Yes it could.
Agreed. No one could hsve nailed that or Bill the Butcher roles
@@Joshua-jj4xn Name someone
I hope he gives us 3 more amazing legendary characters & performances before he retires because we deserve it
Thank you so much for uploading good content and not talking through it for the first 5 mins. That’s a good upload.
Daniel Day-Lewis. The greatest actor alive!
I wish his last movie would have been better
@@monkabrahms7997
I agree.
2nd best, for me. I prefer Oldman, but it's close!
@@EthnHayabusa You have the right actors in the wrong order.
Pete C
De Niro is far better
His Belfast and N.Ireland accents are not 100% but they are 95%+ They are also consistent which is more important - I remember watching both of those films and the accent didn't distract me. (I'm from Belfast , NI). I suspect non NI people wouldn't know the difference. His Christy Brown accent is superb. A Southern Irish brogue with a cereberal palsy overlay is stunning. DDL is a seriously class act.
I live about 8 miles away from belfast and that belfast accent was spot on! Not many people can pull it off correctly but his and jim sturgess' have been the best attempts I've heard so far. It has to sound natural and not forced and the use of the words fuck, fuckin' and like just flowed so naturally in his dialogue. This man can do anything
Whouh, merci pour cette vidéo ! J'imagine le travail derrière !
Merci !
This guy has Clint Eastwood genetics. Looks like an aesthetic god in his young age, and in his old age just looks like an older aesthetic god lol. I hope I age as well as him and Eastwood.
Dennis Reynolds Of course you will Dennis, you’re a golden god!!!!
Then eat good food and keep active. You are what you eat and what you think and do.
Always helps to be skinny, that's for sure.
Human beings arent anywhere near to godlike.
The pathetic opposite in truth. With zero exceptions.

One of my favorite actors by far. He captures the subtleties of the different dialects of English, which is not easy for many actors - even the great ones - to do. I remember watching "Lincoln" and the hair on the back of my head raising up. I read in a biography of Lincoln that his voice was weak. Many assume he had a strong, baritone voice. DDL and Meryl Streep have outstanding dialects in their films.
If there is anyone who can match Daniel, I'd put my money on Streep! By the way, his performance in Lincoln was absolutely one of a kind.
The exact words I always think of are "thin and reedy." DDL got that absolutely PERFECT.
Ty for posting this. It really puts into perspective exactly why hes my favorite actor. He can do anything..but he chooses not to and thats one reason why hes great.
Another is he totally looses himself. Amazing.
i would let him punch me in the face
I would let him drink my milkshake
Hailey Carter I want to taste his mutton
I would let him sew anything into the canvas of my dress..... ?
@@marshallzane7735 oooh kinky lmao
Hes already drinking it :P
The illustrious variety this actor has brought to his characters, makes him a phenomenal individual with outstanding passion, reverence, and dedication! If you come to think about the fact, most actors play themselves in every role, sounding and looking just about the same! Daniel is a titan amongst them!
An actor first, a movie star second
All i can say is he's a genius,never came across a bad performance,1 in a million,and well deserved 🇬🇧
Some actors remain as the actors and behaves as the character , while some actors transform into the character and behaves. Second method is the most difficult one . I have seen only a very few actors who can completely transform into someone else without a trace of the actor left in it. Daniel Dey Lewis ,and Mammootty ( Indian actor ) are the best examples of it.
So impressive. One of the greatest actors ever. Almost unrecognisable in each role.
he is titanic in "there will be blood" best performance i ever saw in my life...
That Gangs Of New York is top level acting probably some of the best we will ever see
I just want to see atleast one more phenomenal performance of Daniel and see him win an Oscar again.
He's just mesmerizing. Seriously, he's amazing.
He's a genius. I wish he hadn't retired. My favorite actor because he's just fooking great.
