I've always loved Joaquin Phoenix as an actor. The extreme intensity and melancholy in his acting is unparalleled in my opinion. A highly emotional actor.
Brian Collins Sigh... if you knew anything about the guy you’d know he suffers from severe anxiety which is why he is so convincing in mind losing roles... I don’t think that aspect is acting, it’s how he really is. Listen to his acting techniques from interviews, his performances are more about being present in the moment than anything else. His anxieties elevate his conflict more than anything else which is why he gravitated toward “losing mind” roles more. It’s because he’s already a little coo coo in the head. So if anything he’s acting very little outside of his own persona. The best actors are themselves in the present moment making you THINK they’re “acting” when they’re just being themselves. Joaquin Phoenix literally sounds like Joaquin Phoenix in EVERY SINGLE ROLE and yet no one noticed. 🤣
I miss when he wasn't popular to be honest. Like he was our little secret, but I am glad he is getting recognized for what we all already knew. He is an amazing actor!
mckernan1987 that was a tough competitive year for Best Actor in 2012. That year Joaquín was up against Denzel Washington for the film Flight and Daniel Day Lewis for the film Lincoln. They gave the Oscar to Daniel Day Lewis but I agree in my opinion Joaquín should have won Best Actor for The Master!
Because 'The Master' is way too much enigmatic, smart and demanding movie for average Academy member to handle, that's why. They give awards to safe Oscar bait movies instead, many of them are already forgotten by now.
Ironically I'm Still Here nearly ended his career. He's such a damn good actor he convinced everyone in hollywood, including his friends, that he was actually crazy.
Commodus was as vulnerable as he was vicious which ,in turn, gave him a level of complexity rarely seen in most villains. Joaquin took something that could've been cliched, fleshed it out and took it in some surprising new directions.
He plays "crazy" pretty well. In We Own The Night, he had hints of darkness. I can't shake the feeling that he'd make a great Joker adaptation. I don't know how his laugh would work, but his scar on his upper lip and his charisma make me think he'd pull it off wonderfully.
Really he is one of the most under-rated actors ever. People may think he is weird and he may have weird moments but he puts 200% of himself into his roles and he is just amazing.
His brother River Phoenix said '' I am just a mere stupid talent compared to my brother'' even before his brother started his career...now he is one of the best actor of his generation! 😶
@@ruly8153 Heath Ledger didn't stay in character on set, he was chill and loved to goof around. A method actor never breaks character. Phoenix stayed in character during all "the master" shootings, Paul Thomas Anderson chose him for that.
Sakata Gintoki The Oscars are a joke for not giving him anything a long time ago. He’s a mad genius in The Master. Walk the Line is 100% Oscar material too.
The greatest joke that academy has ever pulled was giving an Oscar to Benicio Del Toro for Traffic instead of Joaquin for Gladiator. Jesus Christ, will the art ever be free from political crap?!
Well, guess what? Art is often a reflection of the time it's created in and some of the best art and entertainment was and still is inspired by changes in society and hot button issues that were and/or are prevalent.
If his brother, River was still alive, the Phoenix name would be one of the hottest in the movie business history. River has kinda been forgotten, doesn't come up that often and many people have no idea that these two were brothers.
@@burlhorse61 I would think that asking about his personal life would be uncomfortable. Other than being related to River I know little to nothing about this guy. His work speaks for itself and that's good enough for me. STELLAR performance every time. Can't think of even ONE bad role...
Deserved an Oscar for his role as Johnny Cash hands down . These awards are 🤦🏻♂️.For me this guy is on a different level and I haven’t watched The Joker yet . Love your work Joaquin 👍🏻
Joaquin Phoenix's late-brother, River, is actually one of the greatest young actors of all-time! His standout performances being in "Stand By Me" and "Running on Empty" for which he received an Academy Award-nomination in his late-teens.
Matthew Alexander Lemma agreed. They both have that intensity and angst about them in every role and if River were still alive, he would have continued to have made incredible movies. Running on empty is one of the best movies out there
I've believed for awhile now, he's one of Hollywood's greatest...Commodas alone. But pretty much everything he acts in, he gives his all to. Shame he doesn't always choose to act in stories I wanna hear, but when he does, it's magic. Loved him in the village too... Walk the Line, I mean, I still hear his voice.
He's so underrated it's a shame because he's a good actor. Also why have people forgotten his amazing brother?? I haven't and I wasn't even around in his time!!
People haven't forgotten about River Phoenix, most people realise that Joaquin is a far better actor than he was, though. Also its hard to have sympathy for someone who died from cocaine and heroin
+ChrisFlay the people who don't like him because of his death, must have no clue what a good person he was. He was sensitive and vulnerable, and I don't believe that it was his own fault he died. Yeah he was on drugs because Hollywood destroyed him but someone gave him an unknown liquid to drink the night he died.
Megan Moz Why don't people realize River had been clean for a good month or more and was determined to stay clean for the filming duration of what would turn out to be his last film. His trusted friend screwed him over. That guy took our Earthbound angel. Tell them, sister.
+ChrisFlay well you clearly HAVE forgotten about River. I bet you have only seen ONE movie of his. If all you remember about him was his death then you have no idea what an incredible actor he was.
Joaquin Phoenix always delivers. In recent times he was fabulous in IRRATIONAL MAN. Losing River so young was devastating to cinema. However, Joaquin demonstrated his great gift in his early teens and then blasted off with TO DIE FOR. We have been blessed by the younger Phoenix brother’s acting powers. He’s been underrated but is an acting heavyweight now that JOKER has been released. He may be the most brilliant American actor working in films today.
Favorites "8MM", "The Master", "Inventing the Abbots", "We Own the Night", "U Turn","Quills", "To Die For", "Hotel Rwanda", "Walk The Line", "Reservation Road", "Parenthood", episode of "Murder She Wrote", "The Immigrant", "You Were Never Really Here","Buffalo Soldiers","Lou"and "Joker".
I'm just as surprised as well. Though Parenthood was good and he was good in it, I think they should have left out that movie and put Ladder 49 as one of its honorable mentionables
Joaquin Phoenix was underrated before joker now the world knows his name and his incredible performance in joker he waited for this moment to awaken his unbreakable he is amazing!!!
1) The Master 2) The Immigrant 3) Her 4) Walk The Line 5) Gladiator How he didn't get an Oscar nomination for Her I don't know. The Immigrant I'm assuming because it didn't get any kind of awards attention period but the ending scene in that might be his best work (although The Master is the better overall performance). All in all the guy should definitely have 2 Oscars for The Master and Gladiator, possibly more for Her (although him and Ejiofor that year are kind of tied to me) and the Immigrant too
+GiantSandles I personally thought he overacted a bit too much in Gladiator, but i agree, he was amazing in Her and in The Inmigrant. And the fact that he didn't win an Oscar for his mind-blowing performance in The Master it's just ridiculous! I don't care if Daniel Day-Lewis stayed in the character of Lincoln for months, Joaquin deserved the award better!

He's on the same level as Bryan Cranston
Kris Joaquin is the greatest actor of his generation, no question.
@Ninao...Agreed. And I so wanted to see him as Thomas a Becket opposite the late Christopher Lee as Henry II. Becket was just meant for Phoenix.
Jay Young Why 8MM is not on this list. Joaquin Phoenix did a fantastic job with his performance in that disturbing flick with Nicolas Cage.
Except for his brother River Phoenix who has been irreplaceable to this very day more than 20 years since his passing.
Joaquin Phoenix is the coolest name ever

His brother and sister have damn cool names too ... River, Rain, and Summer Phoenix 😍

Your dream come true
He isss playing the joker😁
damn
Soo truee... are u from future
Damn man !!!! 2 years ago u tell it....
Definitely my favorite actor working today. He never gives a dull of phoned in performance. I can't believe he still hasn't won an Academy Award.
Maybe that can change now
IRONY: He had to become a Joker to make the world realize how seriously good his acting was all these years.
*I pass you everyday and you dont notice me!*
just like 45 - he had to become potus before everyone notices that he’s been a criminal.
I loved his performance in gladiator

I'm obsessed with him way before the Joker and the movie just makes me live him more because I've always been a DC fan and a huge Joker fan

Incredibly underrated. This guy is the Definition of actor for me ( not comparing him.to anyone else)
who cares how he's rated? dude consistently does great films and never gives a bad performance, I don't think he's gonna lose work any time soon.
12345drizzy he looks like Andrew Garfield

Such an underrated actor
Derek Kudjer I disagree I think he’s deservedly known as one of if not the best actor alive today
We live in a sad sick world were people considers Ben Affleck a good actor...
Not anymore
I think the Joker will help change that
Nico Arce Well, you could argue he is one of the best, but not the best
His performance in Walk the Line was amazing, this is one of the best actors in Hollywood today
keep reminding my self to watch that movie
"His acting is no joke." Foreshadowing?

Before there was Joffrey, you had phoenix's Commodus.

He is an absolute artist. A hero to me. Inherent Vice was perfect. Hopefully he continues to work with PTA.
Dragonball4eva Agreed. And I'm sure he will :)
That is what I love about him, he is a true actor who can easily jump from one part to the next with total commitment to the character
Walk the Line, Gladiator, The Master, and Joker this guy is seriously one of the greatest of all time.
who is here after watching JOKER??
👍
How was it? I'm gonna watch it today

He was robbed of an Oscar in his role of the Man in Black.
And Reese Witherspoon won for that movie although she shouldn't have
The name of the movie is called walk the line
Samuli Hynninen I didn't have a problem with Reese winning, I thought she was great as June. But Joaquin was exceptional as Johnny.

1) The Master
2) The Immigrant
3) Her
4) Walk The Line
5) Gladiator
How he didn't get an Oscar nomination for Her I don't know. The Immigrant I'm assuming because it didn't get any kind of awards attention period but the ending scene in that might be his best work (although The Master is the better overall performance). All in all the guy should definitely have 2 Oscars for The Master and Gladiator, possibly more for Her (although him and Ejiofor that year are kind of tied to me) and the Immigrant too
+GiantSandles I personally thought he overacted a bit too much in Gladiator, but i agree, he was amazing in Her and in The Inmigrant.
