Daniel Day-Lewis is the real deal. He truly sees acting as a craft and an art. He doesn't hobnob with famous actors in glitzy parties or gatherings. Truly amazing man
I will never in my life forget the experience of watching this British born actor incarnate America's legendary 16th president. I deliberately didn't say "he played Lincoln". He BECAME Abraham Lincoln in a way that sent chills up my spine. Simply amazing.
It is so unbelievable how HUMBLE this GENIUS is. His talent is beyond that of so many of the actors of today and he doesn't act as if he knows it. What a marvel Daniel Day-Lewis is and what an amazing virtue he possesses.
What a remarkable actor. He was the perfect guy for this role. I know 3 hours is impossible to tell the story of Lincoln..... Daniel was so amazing and I thank him so much. I have read sooooo many books about Lincoln and the Civil war. So Daniel made me feel like for the first time I can believably put Lincoln in all those stories I read about. He is a brillant actor and I thank u Mr Daniel Day- Lewis
The first thing I saw him in was Gangs of New York. I loved it and I loved him in particular. Then I saw There Will Be Blood. I loved that movie and his character so much, I now consider that to be my favorite movie of all time. Then after I saw that, I sought out all of his movies and watched them. This dude is simply amazing. I can't say enough good things about his acting abilities. We're lucky to live in the same time as Daniel Day Lewis. He's a living legend of acting!
I love the movie The last of the Mohicans. The passion between him and Cora is spectacular.!. I can watched it so many times and never get tired. I just love it....
When I first saw this film,I sat right in the very 1st row of seats,right in the center of the screen,and that opening scene-where he is talking to the soldiers-it made him so very real,so very human, a man with such a loving and caring soul-it was so surreal for me-that it almost felt as if Lincoln was right there in front of me,standing before my eyes,it was unlike anything I had ever experienced before-like the ghost of him was right there looking just as he did in life showing me his life.
I was literally speechless,my jaw was on the floor,my eyes were bugging out of their sockets and I was white as a sheet,like I'd just seen a ghost-and for me,in a weird way-that's how it felt-like a dream that was coming true,getting to meet my very #1 fave president of all that I had wished for years to meet. History and this era was always my best subject all through my school years, I could never get enough,had an insatiable hunger to learn as much as I could about this great man.
This actor repeatedly continues to "raise the bar" . Best Actor in my book today in regards to be able to "nail a role" present day. "Kudos to Daniel Day Lewis" !
Intriguing an british-born individual can get into the skin of a cherished american icon and be so deeply impacted. Mr. Day-Lewis should consider directing
great film and day lewis is just an awsome actor he played a great american part in 'gangs of newyork' i realy got an insight of lincolns life in the film and what a guy he was a lovely man
DDL is a living legend of the arts. Best living actor and on a list of the top 3 best actors of all time. I think if we had an idea of what he goes through before doing a role or character we'd all agree that early retirement is a good idea. The research that he goes through and the strictness of Method acting is painful if done in a traditional way. He is a master! No one and I mean no one could of pulled of such a complex, melancholy, funny, and serious man such as Lincoln. His deliberate nature was something of a chess game that not many actors can feel. DDL pulled it off. F'in British actors!!!!
this guy deserves to be up there with Brando and DeNiro and Pacino he is so intense in every performance he was classicly trained in the Shakespeare theatre but i see him more a method actor than Shakespearen
I loved the film and I loved Daniel Day-Lewis' performance as well as Tommy Lee Jiones' and Sally Fields'. The smaller parts are cast so well wioth great actors such as Hal Holbrook and James Spader. Great movie. It'll sweep the Academy Awards, I hope.
...It’s just now starting to dawn on me, with great sadness, that Daniel might have been serious about this retirement business. :( Hopefully, he will produce or direct. But it’s very hard to accept that he won’t be in front of the camera anymore.
I have Gore Vidal's LINCOLN-when SAM WATERSTON portrayed Lincoln-in fact,I've been sitting and watching it and I like it-but,that has been more about Lincoln's presidency and the business aspect of it and I like that-don't get me wrong-but, I would've liked to have seen more of the human side of the man, watch his relationship with his children a little more,there wasn't enough focus on the human side of him and the "realness" of him-what people loved about him. This is why I ADORE LINCOLN.
He actually talks the way he had Lincoln talk in the movie....it has that same sort of inspirational vibe. Now probably whatever I hear him say, it'll sound to me like Lincoln saying...no doubt I will listen to every word. :)
Purtroppo non è tradotto, perciò ho compreso qua e là, che peccato perché è sempre interessante sentirlo e anche guardarlo. Che fascino inarrivabile!!!
I've seen several Daniel Day Lewis films, and each time astounded by the performance, but if I saw him on the street I wouldn't recognize him, and I think he probably likes it that way.
Yeah, it is ironic, isn't it? I thought the same thing about a British actor (Henry Cavill) playing Superman. But, DDL is SUCH an incredible actor and so versatile and can play anyone! I just adore him!
Also thank you for coming back to doing a great movie... Ok Steven spiels burg needs to do a movie not war related next yr cause the last 2 Christmas. I had to c war ...but this will make you cry
WOW! How do you do a character like Lincoln without your british accent? I've seen this movie 5 times since it first came out and I simply adore it!will have it the second it comes out on DVD-this is my #1 fave president that I read anything I can get my hands on about the man and have pretty much every movie and documentary about the man and LEWIS is the #1 BEST ABE LINCOLN IN THE WORLD!BROUGHT THE MAN TO LIFE AND MADE HIM MORE REAL AND MORE HUMAN!still-how do you get rid of the accent?
Well, I'm black and i just saw it. Daniel Day Lewis once again proves that he is an amazing actor, and because of his performance, i feel a greater understanding of who Abraham Lincoln was and the challenges he faced as President. As for there not being many blacks in the audience, I admit i noticed the same thing at the theater I attended - while i can't speak for every african-american, i think many of us have a hard time seeing slavery depicted on the big screen outside of their own homes.
pajasa62 im shocked as well- I love DDL and he was amazing as Bill The Butcher. Nonetheless, Andrien Brody was amazing as well and he did deserve the award
For quite awhile I had a hard time trying to wrap my mind around stuff like THE BLACK PANTHER movement. But after I saw this movie-a light bulb went on in my head that basically realized that THE CIVIL RIGHTS MOVEMENT AND THE BLACK PANTHER MOVEMENT and such were just basically a continuation from the civil war-basically fighting for the rights of African Americans,I wish now teachers would have just said that in the most basic simple terms.
The most important thing to remember is that the end of slavery not only liberated African Americans, it also liberated the white race; that sin kept the white race in bondage too..in fact we were still in serious bondage until the civil rights movement began and continues throughout our lifetime..I do believe that the rights of African Americans are still being undermined today, therefore, our complete and total freedom has not occured yet...
I'm kind of surprised at how some people are questioning the accuracy in this movie. yeah, there may be a few errors in it (minor, not really anything to distort history), but from what I've researched, this movie actually seems to be pretty accurate
If peaceful solution or resolution as Ghandi once said can be found and war can be avoided-then if it will save lives,keep people from being killed-then I think we ought to see if there are other ways other than having to go to war all the time-the only reason I'm not for war is-people being killed,I don't like the killing end of it,if Death can be avoided-I'm all for doing anything to try and stop or prevent it. Often wonder if Vietnam could've been avoided and what the options were.
a truly remarkable actor and comes across as such a nice humble man,so far removed from your typical hollywood actors...my girlfriend aine is in love with him
Part of the reason us nasty foreigners like the U.S is because of its openness and history of welcoming people from all around the world. You shouldn't jeopardise that.
I would like to watch the video, but the link you gave is just bringing me to my yt home feed page. Could you maybe say the name of the channel or some keywords that turn it up?
I think slave owners would have had a VERY SERIOUS PROBLEM with their so called "property" and the right to be able to do whatever they wanted to to these people,feeling it was their right to abuse other people and to have that taken away from them-I think it would have eventually become a VERY SERIOUS PROBLEM and violence in some form or another would have eventually broken out anyway sooner or later, so I do think we had no choice but to fight for the human rights of others.
Umiltà, dedizione,talento, intelligenza, versatilità, e ancora altro fanno di quest’uomo un genio ineguagliabile!! Non concordo con chi lo paragona a Brando, men che meno a Nicholson o DeNiro ecc. Lui è veramente unico ed insuperabile, ha girato in tutto 22 o 23 film e ha vinto 3 Oscar e non so quanti Bafta Golden Globe e altro, è evidente che non c’è gara!!! De Niro mi pare ne abbia girati ben più di cento!! Se guardi i suoi dilm, tutti, anche quelli meno riusciti, e sono un paio al massimo, resti comunque ammaliato, si diventa dipendenti!! E poi è così riservato, schivo, solo per questo te ne innamori!! IL MIGLIORE, GRANDE!!!
After Liam Neeson dropped out, Steven Spielberg returned to his original choice for the titular role of Abraham Lincoln: Daniel Day-Lewis. Day-Lewis declined because he didn't know if he could play such an iconic role. It was Leonardo DiCaprio who convinced him to take the role after Spielberg told him that Day-Lewis declined. It is unknown how DiCaprio convinced Day-Lewis to take the role.
I suspect you're talking through your hat and have never seen this film. No way was Lincoln made to be perfect or even sure of his relationship with the masses he was freeing, or of their fate. There is a particular scene of him standing and talking the his wife's black dressmaker that is striking in that regard. As for making it seem that the war was all about slavery, I didn't see that. This amendment was all about slavery, and the amendment is the focus of the film.
Everything else about the movie was unworthy of the performances by DDL, Tommy Lee Jones and Harris as Grant. Day-Lewis's Lincoln is a gift to America.
but dont forget the many southerners who didnt care abot slavery that fought and died to defend the south after the north invaded, dont get me wrong im glad slavery was destroyed but only one side of this is getting portrayed, and i gotta say this is one of myfaviorite movies, linclon was our best president in my opinion
Same color here. I adore this movie! I'm such a history buff to begin with. My only problem is that I didn't see it in D.C. I agree with you, not a lot of blacks will see things that deal with slavery but I also think its because not a lot are into history itself. I knew someone that didn't see the point in learning history because they already knew that blacks were enslaved & another that said history is not an important subject.
I am a huge fan of President Lincoln, but I think it is important to ask the question, was the Civil War worth it? I do not believe that slavery would have lasted past the 1880's because by the time the Second Industrial Revolution takes place in the South, the need for slaves diminishes. Also the farther west the South went the fewer plantations there were. The Confederate States of America would more than likely be just seven states. And who knows if they would've rejoined the Union later.
I agree. I don't want to waste my time arguing with someone who thinks abortion is a form of contraception. BTW I am completely in favor of contraception. It prevents pregnancys which won't end up allowing baby killing to take place.
I understood the CIVIL RIGHTS MOVEMENT. But when they started discussing THE BLACK PANTHER MOVEMENT-then it really got confusing. But after I saw this film-everything kind of came together and made more sense-it's like "OH!DUH!WHY DIDN'T THEY JUST SAY IT WAS ALL A CONTINUATION FIGHTING FOR THE RIGHTS OF AFRICAN AMERICANS?!"lol. I'm a HUGE FAN of MLK and I LOVE TO LEARN AND HISTORY IS MY FAVORITE SUBJECT-ESPECIALLY THIS SUBJECT!lol.
I wish Hollywood made the guy off the street like back in the 30's but all we get is spoiled rich kids as so called actors. All in Hollywood are related. If you want to see acting go to broad street or soho in London. You won't find them in movies,I mean actors.
I think it's weird that a British guy is playing a prominent figure in American history. I'm not hating, I know that Daniel-Day Lewis is a great actor and that the movie has gotten a lot of good feedback. I think it's pretty scary how he resembles Lincoln, I just had to say it.
Daniel Day-Lewis is the real deal. He truly sees acting as a craft and an art. He doesn't hobnob with famous actors in glitzy parties or gatherings. Truly amazing man
I will never in my life forget the experience of watching this British born actor incarnate America's legendary 16th president. I deliberately didn't say "he played Lincoln". He BECAME Abraham Lincoln in a way that sent chills up my spine. Simply amazing.

River Otter English born retired actor from Kensington holds both British & Irish citizenship.
It is so unbelievable how HUMBLE this GENIUS is. His talent is beyond that of so many of the actors of today and he doesn't act as if he knows it. What a marvel Daniel Day-Lewis is and what an amazing virtue he possesses.
What a remarkable actor. He was the perfect guy for this role. I know 3 hours is impossible to tell the story of Lincoln..... Daniel was so amazing and I thank him so much. I have read sooooo many books about Lincoln and the Civil war. So Daniel made me feel like for the first time I can believably put Lincoln in all those stories I read about. He is a brillant actor and I thank u Mr Daniel Day- Lewis
inspirational, very intelligent, multi-facet and a legend
I walked out of the theater wanting to go back and watch it again. He never disappoints.
The first thing I saw him in was Gangs of New York. I loved it and I loved him in particular. Then I saw There Will Be Blood. I loved that movie and his character so much, I now consider that to be my favorite movie of all time. Then after I saw that, I sought out all of his movies and watched them. This dude is simply amazing. I can't say enough good things about his acting abilities. We're lucky to live in the same time as Daniel Day Lewis. He's a living legend of acting!
Phenomenal actor, best in the world and to ever exist
If you don't love this man there is something wrong with you
Humble and Shy man ... even his capability is beyond anyone else
I love the movie The last of the Mohicans. The passion between him and Cora is spectacular.!. I can watched it so many times and never get tired. I just love it....
In my opinion Daniel day Lewis is the best living actor, no disrespect to Robert Deniro and Al Pacino.
The Godfather blew.
F*** off, dude.
Deniro and Pacino are cheap thrills compared to Daniel Day-Lewis. No disrespect lol. Its just 2 different categories.
Oldman
Al pacino and robert deniro, in my opinion, were great in their early careers. Later they used their name and a quick buck to destroy their careers.
When I first saw this film,I sat right in the very 1st row of seats,right in the center of the screen,and that opening scene-where he is talking to the soldiers-it made him so very real,so very human, a man with such a loving and caring soul-it was so surreal for me-that it almost felt as if Lincoln was right there in front of me,standing before my eyes,it was unlike anything I had ever experienced before-like the ghost of him was right there looking just as he did in life showing me his life.

History and this era was always my best subject all through my school years, I could never get enough,had an insatiable hunger to learn as much as I could about this great man.
i put this on my ipod just to listen to his beautifully velvet voice whenever i'd like =)
I play DDL interviews at night when I’m drifting off to sleep... :) (...is that creepy?)
@@paulchick3007 not at all
So help me god I actually saw this movie in the theatre 6 times already! And I Will buy the DVD! Awesome performance Mr. Lincoln!!
Only actor in history to win three Oscars for performances in a leading role.
Male actor. Women have already. He's marvelous.
nobody will ever beat that
He should have won for Gangs of New York, that performance was incredible.
This actor repeatedly continues to "raise the bar" . Best Actor in my book today in regards to be able to "nail a role" present day. "Kudos to Daniel Day Lewis" !
This guy is greater than a legend!!!!!!
Tom hanks is way better actor
Excellent portrayal of Lincoln from a gifted and talented actor.
Intriguing an british-born individual can get into the skin of a cherished american icon and be so deeply impacted.
Mr. Day-Lewis should consider directing
Shows what an amazing figure Lincoln is that a non-American actor can still love and admire him so much over 150 years after his death
Daniel Day Lewis the best actor in film today.
Loved the book and the film.
great film and day lewis is just an awsome actor he played a great american part in 'gangs of newyork' i realy got an insight of lincolns life in the film and what a guy he was a lovely man
Such a wonderful actor, thanks to whom I got to enjoy such an amazing film.
I wish they would run the question he's answering across the bottom of the screen great info though! He's such a gifted actor
DDL is a living legend of the arts. Best living actor and on a list of the top 3 best actors of all time. I think if we had an idea of what he goes through before doing a role or character we'd all agree that early retirement is a good idea.

DDL pulled it off.
F'in British actors!!!!
I can't belive I'm just now seeing this movie. It was so good I watched in twice in a row! Daniel Day-Lewis is the most unique actor like ever!
this guy deserves to be up there with Brando and DeNiro and Pacino he is so intense in every performance he was classicly trained in the Shakespeare theatre but i see him more a method actor than Shakespearen
He IS up there with Brando and Deniro and Pacino; and to a lot of people, myself included, Day-Lewis is above them.
I loved the film and I loved Daniel Day-Lewis' performance as well as Tommy Lee Jiones' and Sally Fields'. The smaller parts are cast so well wioth great actors such as Hal Holbrook and James Spader. Great movie. It'll sweep the Academy Awards, I hope.
Hes....hands down, AMAZING. Actually amazing is an understatement. just....pure genius.
That is one LOVELY man.. wow.
This Man is Male version of Meryl Streep in terms of acting. His performances since he was very young had been superb. I smell a third oscar for him.
wtf man. Meryl Streep is the female version of DDL
thanks so much!
...It’s just now starting to dawn on me, with great sadness, that Daniel might have been serious about this retirement business. :( Hopefully, he will produce or direct. But it’s very hard to accept that he won’t be in front of the camera anymore.
Daniel...stop being retired!!! Come back to us!!!
I couldn’t think of anyone better
To play Abraham Lincoln
But Daniel day Lewis
“He was accessible…
…some part of him was.”
Daniel Day Lewis' s son plays rugby on the same club as my sister, so... me and Danny are practically family
daniel is probably the best living actor
Guapisimo
Agreed!
He's brilliant!
I have Gore Vidal's LINCOLN-when SAM WATERSTON portrayed Lincoln-in fact,I've been sitting and watching it and I like it-but,that has been more about Lincoln's presidency and the business aspect of it and I like that-don't get me wrong-but, I would've liked to have seen more of the human side of the man, watch his relationship with his children a little more,there wasn't enough focus on the human side of him and the "realness" of him-what people loved about him.

He actually talks the way he had Lincoln talk in the movie....it has that same sort of inspirational vibe. Now probably whatever I hear him say, it'll sound to me like Lincoln saying...no doubt I will listen to every word. :)
Best actor working today.
Brilliant insight

I've seen several Daniel Day Lewis films, and each time astounded by the performance, but if I saw him on the street I wouldn't recognize him, and I think he probably likes it that way.
I actually know many of my relatives this past holiday said they would watch it when it came out on DVD.
Daniel Day Lewis, Jack Nicholson, Leonardo Dicaprio, Heath Ledger, Javier Bardem....greatest actors of all time.
Bardem!? Wtf hha
Tlou Gamer no country for old men
The Extinct Surgeon only 1 film? bro dont compare nicholson or lewis with him….
Tlou Gamer his role in that was awesome and where did I compare them exactly? This was my opinion and you just have to accept it.
The Extinct Surgeon why i have to accept it? your opinion is trash for me…
Surprised to see that this man was John Proctor in The Crucible
i think he's in the conversation for best ever
Yeah, it is ironic, isn't it? I thought the same thing about a British actor (Henry Cavill) playing Superman. But, DDL is SUCH an incredible actor and so versatile and can play anyone! I just adore him!
Also thank you for coming back to doing a great movie... Ok Steven spiels burg needs to do a movie not war related next yr cause the last 2 Christmas. I had to c war ...but this will make you cry

LEGEND
greatest actor ever !

I'm still shocked he didn't win the Academy Award for "Bill The Butcher" in Gangs of New York.
pajasa62 im shocked as well- I love DDL and he was amazing as Bill The Butcher. Nonetheless, Andrien Brody was amazing as well and he did deserve the award
correction. best actor. ever.

Part of the reason us nasty foreigners like the U.S is because of its openness and history of welcoming people from all around the world. You shouldn't jeopardise that.
Best movie ever can't wait to own it Daniel gets an Oscar or ever awards
I would like to watch the video, but the link you gave is just bringing me to my yt home feed page. Could you maybe say the name of the channel or some keywords that turn it up?

Hands down he should win best actor. Movie was a little weak but he was superb
Lo riguardo e lo riguardo e potrei andare avanti chissà quanto!! È così interessante, semplice, meglio modesto, e, allo stesso tempo così grande!!!
Lincoln was an accurate man..his thought was unique treasure.
every time i hear his voice from now on iell remember Abraham lincolin LOL
Just give him the Oscar already. He is winning for sure!
Umiltà, dedizione,talento, intelligenza, versatilità, e ancora altro fanno di quest’uomo un genio ineguagliabile!! Non concordo con chi lo paragona a Brando, men che meno a Nicholson o DeNiro ecc. Lui è veramente unico ed insuperabile, ha girato in tutto 22 o 23 film e ha vinto 3 Oscar e non so quanti Bafta Golden Globe e altro, è evidente che non c’è gara!!!

Amen
Por favor! Traduzam estas intrevistas!
but dont forget the many southerners who didnt care abot slavery that fought and died to defend the south after the north invaded, dont get me wrong im glad slavery was destroyed but only one side of this is getting portrayed, and i gotta say this is one of myfaviorite movies, linclon was our best president in my opinion

It's pretty rare, but yeah, we do.
man i cant beleive daniel day lewis' hair is starting to turn grey
how could you possibly know that?
I understood the CIVIL RIGHTS MOVEMENT. But when they started discussing THE BLACK PANTHER MOVEMENT-then it really got confusing. But after I saw this film-everything kind of came together and made more sense-it's like "OH!DUH!WHY DIDN'T THEY JUST SAY IT WAS ALL A CONTINUATION FIGHTING FOR THE RIGHTS OF AFRICAN AMERICANS?!"lol. I'm a HUGE FAN of MLK and I LOVE TO LEARN AND HISTORY IS MY FAVORITE SUBJECT-ESPECIALLY THIS SUBJECT!lol.
People Daniel you are best actor in ages I just saw les miserable a
I wish Hollywood made the guy off the street like back in the 30's but all we get is spoiled rich kids as so called actors. All in Hollywood are related. If you want to see acting go to broad street or soho in London. You won't find them in movies,I mean actors.
The fact that DDLewis recommended Gordon-Levitt to play Robert says tons about Mr. Lewis. What a gentleman.
So where are the questions?
The master..Daniel Day Lewis.
so gutted wanted him to make one more film with Scorsese
I think it's weird that a British guy is playing a prominent figure in American history. I'm not hating, I know that Daniel-Day Lewis is a great actor and that the movie has gotten a lot of good feedback. I think it's pretty scary how he resembles Lincoln, I just had to say it.
what part of Wicklow do you live in ? ..
alongside with joaquin phoenix? would you agree?
DDL The actor Is the actor everyone thinks Brando was
Whats the club called?
