Daniel Day Lewis discusses how the process of method acting can lead to scenes that are a continuation of a life already explored.
He retired from acting but how do we know he isn't just preparing for a role where he plays a retired actor.
LMAO
That would be the most meta bullshit in history and I'm going to have my popcorn ready for when it happens.
😀😆😂🤣

I'm waiting with bated breath.
🤯
His performance in that movie was an example of the best acting that is humanly possible.
agreed, i've only seen the korean Olboy match it.
@@dhollsynthmusic Dang, I saw Oldboy back in grad school. My friend and fellow grad student was Korean and he picked it out. I went in cold, not knowing what it was about or what to expect. It was indeed quite a film.
He could do better
Ever hear of Lawrence Olivier?
@@jankowalski6338that is the most ridiculous thing I've ever read in CZcams
Nobody could do ANY scene better that anything Daniel day Lewis has ever acted in
He is literally perfection
DDL made this film look like a documentary, in my opinion the best acting I have ever witnessed on screen. The father, the bussiness man, the cruel, the savage.
Agreed
Well, nobody can disagree with you if its "your opinion" that it's the best acting that you ever saw.
@@jimnewcombe7584yes. That’s the point of expressing that it’s an opinion.
Arguments are pointless bc it’s all subjective anyway.
@@lordsafro But they could have just said "the best acting I ever saw": obviously nobody else's opinion matters if we're referring to the "I ever saw" being the person who made the comment, because nobody else would know would they've seen. Not everything is opinion though anyway, otherwise people would say that Enid Blyton is comparable to Shakespeare.
Don't forget No Country For Old Men!
When you see DDL in interviews and hear his natural voice…you can really appreciate how great of an actor he is and his ability to completely change is voice to fit whatever character
I read an article when Lincoln came out that quoted him as saying that when he finds the actual voice of the character, everything else falls into place.
It's the same voice from film to film look at this character and Wild Bill from GONY if you played both characters'voices it'll be hard to tell the difference. IMO
Aside from coming out of the same physical body,the voices have almost nothing in common.
Yup he takes on a completely different persona and you get nearly zero hint of Daniel in the performance, if any!
He spent a LONG time trying to find Plainview. He agonized over this role for a while before finding that sweet spot. And now it just looks like the most natural thing in the world.
He looks 20 years younger there in real life as opposed to that character
Mustache
Ages a man many thousands of years@@zarni000
Different
If I saw him walking on the street I wouldn’t know who he was.
@mark2tech I guarantee if you happened to have a milk shake, you'd find out quickly. Suddenly, you look down at your shake and it's halfway gone; a big ass straw sticking out and Daniel on the other end. "I DRINK YOUR MILKSHAKE!" *slurp*
Daniel Day Lewis and Paul Dano -
absolutely brilliant.
This guy is like a leprechaun. He's extremely rare to spot, but when he does pop out he makes pure magic.
Racist
@@RoloT007😂
Pure changeling energy!
@@RoloT007 lol wut 😆
@@dysnomia6413just teasing 😁
This came out the same year as No Country For Old Men. I think that won picture of the year and DDL won for best performance. Both masterpieces
I've made this exact statement before! Excellent movies, superb taste 😉
I could make a top 20 list of movies from 2007 and still leave some great stuff out.
They were both filmed in New Mexico at the same time as well
Someone always repeats this comment on anything to do with either Film. I'm sure most people must know this fact by now.
@@macman975 have a great Monday!
I wish there were more films about the gold and oil rush. After reading extensively about the gold rush, it's one of the most insane an interesting times in American history, it should be a new sub-genre of Western.
Could you recommend some books on this?
Likewise Gold rush in Australia
Melbourne used to be statistically the richest city in the world mid 19th century yet no one can believe it - and the history books re-written as of really only reveals how the wealth was eventually plundered - extracted by overseas powers
An interesting documentary about the Rockefellers is "how big oil conquered the world" by James Corbett. He did a second one "Why big oil conquered the world." I CANNOT recommend these films enough.....SO GOOD and fascinating!!! I do hope you watch them!
Read about how horses were treated at that time, it's heart rending
It was many years ago before they made movies about superheros and little girls dolls
I served him one time in SoHo while he was making Gangs of New York. He was staying at our hotel under the pseudonym Bill (his name in the movie). Super sweet guy. Somewhat reserved. Just one of those quiet geniuses that can light up the world when he wants to.
Genius… wow lol let’s not get carried away he’s an actor.
So, he wasn't in character?
@@rxw5520 I mean, you know, within his field. But its not as easy as it looks.
@@Cyba_IT Not that I recall. But this was in early 2000’s
Did he leave you a good tip??? 👍 lol just wandering. You were so lucky to meet him. I would have been so nervous that I would spill 😬 😅 😳 something on him. I ❤️ love his acting skills so much. I will miss him as I'm sure so many will. But he now has his own wood making shop. That's pretty cool 😎 👍 👌 😀. Hod speed 😀 👌 😎 I loved his scenes with Paul Dano in There Will be Blood. That scene at the end in the bowling alley was freaking 🤪 😜 Crazy.
He’s not saying method acting is absurd but the nature of acting in and of itself is an absurd thing that becomes more apparent as you age and why method acting is more necessary to get over that feeling.
I have always felt as though pretending that actors can 'become' someone else purely through imagination to be an absurd notion, especially since an individual person isn't even capable of truly understanding oneself! -- Without the aid of others, external experiences, & reflecting on past behavior-- and even that is quite a diluted or 'corrupt' slice of comprehension. That fact alone has always demolished the paradigm of acting as 'becoming' to be entirely invalid in my eyes.
I haven't seen the whole clip, so DDL prolly did say something closer to what you're getting at. I will say though, method acting is quite absurd outside of the premise I provided above, and I think what DDL says in this snippet of an interview does a pretty good job demonstrating that in less ephemeral, more semantic terms than what I provided.
Just the fact alone that you become cognizant to other entities in the 'world' - the movie in this case - is the primary means of 'activating' them for lack of a better word already demonstrates the flaws of perfectly immersing oneself into the role of a character. Followed up by his other point that what you've already performed on previous sessions affects what your performance will be. The genuine article vis a vis a true reaction to stimuli, that is experienced in 'real life' is diluted more and more as multiple takes are requested.
Overall, I would say that like most forms of expression, the validity of method acting as a concept comes into focus when we approximate the defining characteristics of its theory; with the precise manner to which successful actors execute in their practice -- ultimately leading to a recursive 'dance' between the two ad infintum. DDL's explanation of play probably contributes to a greater approximation of the term if we take into account the psychology of play -- a concept that I am not familiar with; otherwise, I would reply with a reflection on that in relation to what it is "we" hope to attain from the act of acting.
@@MrValsungyou are over thinking everything.
I agree method acting is silly.
Apparently so does mr Lewis.
But all acting is silly.
You said so yourself in your own long winded way.
Method acting lets some people break from their ego and reach the flow state.
It’s never cartoonish if it’s professional. No one should ever be walking outside set acting a fool.
From what I’ve heard mr Lewis does not do this.
He is character after make up. But stays in his trailer between scenes so
@@TonyMarselle i think due to your inability to be 'longwinded' your posit: "ego and reach the flow state" is taken as a given. there is little to no scrutiny on whether or not those particular concepts - or the combination thereof - actually apply to the nature of acting as a whole; or even if these can be considered small components of a greater explanation on the subject. i would say your sentiment bewilders me, if it wasn't so common. the entire purpose of theory is to essentially predict and replicate phenomenon as accurately as possible. no one told you to parse scrawls of html scribbles on the device of your choice; or to muster the faculties required to type up a response on how exhausting it is for others to attempt to provide one. the more one overthinks what you bothered to do here, the more bizarre what it is you THINK you're accomplishing here becomes. have a blessed day bruhv.
I've heard fellow actors say method actors use it to be assholes to people involved in making the film. But you do make a good point.
@@MrValsung I am. Is convinced you are AI based off your silly rambling.
Or you are a kid on meth.
First saw him in Gangs of New York. His performance as the butcher was phenomenal. Still one of my favorite character to this day.
My left foot is his masterpiece 🙌
He was rubbish in Gangs Of New York.
@@s.salazar6364 youre opinion about movies/acting doesnt matter if you think DDL was rubbish in Gangs of New York.
@@RoxxSerm Your*.
When your first word is wrong I will bypass your thoughts entirely.
So you have to much to see the older amazing movies!!! In the name of the father+ my left foot !!!
He becomes the character. It’s so profoundly believable that you forget you’re even watching a movie.
Yawn comment.
@@billytowney6773 I know life is tough right now but we’re all here for ya Billy.
I don't. I'll never understand these people that are like "wow, he acted so good you almost forget you're watching a movie". I'm always acutely aware it's a movie.
I can't even really appreciate good acting tbh. It's like I just know bad acting but I don't necessarily see good acting or see it as being anything difficult. No matter how hard I try, I just don't get it.
It's a miserable existence.
@@intercoursehandguns851no one care clown
@@intercoursehandguns851 well fortunately for you you don’t have to be a movie nerd to enjoy a good movie. Some people geek out on it and some don’t.
I had no idea he was this young in real life. What a great job both to his acting and make-up!
He's quite a chameleon!!💯
No he simply _looks_ old.
He’s 66 right now and was about 50 when TWBB was released
He’s just handsome.
@@nosir1479Looks young I think you mean, because he was 48 years old.
There was no makeup other than the moustache and periodic hairstyle. He's still very youthful looking for 66. The kind of youthful that's not babyfaced, but vital. Carries a strength with him
His performance in that movie still just astonishes me. And at the end, I still don’t know exactly how I feel about him, but I’m willing to keep guessing and reevaluating infinitely. I could watch this movie 1 million times.
I loved him working with Paul Dano. What a pair.
Agreed. And well said
I sort of spaced out the first time I watched the film. Wasn't invested. Didn't get it. Didn't appreciate it. I'm so glad I gave it another shot and watched with my full attention and intellect engaged. It requires something of the viewer and the viewer is richly rewarded for their effort. It's a film you think about, and rethink about, long after it's over.
Completely different from him but I identify with him more than any sort of judgment of his traits. It was an incredibly sympathetic performance of a man with an iron core.
One of the greatest performances in film, I think (and many more do)...
I first saw him in "The Name of the Father" and have watched everything he did before and after that roll. Lincoln was also really well done. He saved that movie. "Last of the Mohicans" was the best.
No matter how many times I've watched that movie and no matter how much I prepare myself for what's coming, I always tear up when his father passes.
Just realized it was him in Last of the Mohicans!
This guy's really an acting chameleon.
Go a few years before In The Name of The Father & watch My Left Foot.
@@hibernopithecus7500And The Boxer. DDL is always brilliant. In the Name of the Father is truly outstanding. What a film! Pete Postlethwaite was impressive in that, too. I just saw it again recently after not seeing it since it came out. Wow! Just as riveting. Perhaps, more so. Imho.
@@waynej2608 All true, but while it was In The Name of The Father that really launched him globally, My Left Foot is, imo, his best performance.
On a slightly related note, I’m Irish, I can’t watch In The Name of The Father anymore. I’ve broken too many TVs watching that film 😜
A talented realist!
One of the greatest films ever made.
The fact that I didn’t even know what he really looked like is crazy. He’s a handsome dude.
Watched it again recently. It's mind blowingly good. Every scene is absolutely compelling.
I dunno bout you all, but this is my favorite character of all time. In anything.
Not to mention probably one of the greatest performances in anything, ever, as well.
Paul Dano is amazing
MORE than amazing. That man has RANGE. One of the greatest actors who has ever lived - Along with Daniel Day
He's aight
Any movie made with Paul Dano, I'm in.
@@Widow-CicadaYes. Paul Dano is extraordinary.
Absolutely freaking love ❤️ 😍 💖 Paul Dano. Hands down, his generations best actor 👏 🙌 around 👏. Watch Swiss Army Man with Daniel Radcliffe, directed by the two Paul's, not Paul Dano 😉. An interesting and very different film. Trust me guys 👦 😌, if you've never seen it or the movie Okja about a giant 🐖 pig give it a whirl. Love you Paul, and your beautiful family.
"There Will Be Blood" is an astounding movie. Very violent in parts, but you just can't take your eyes off the screen, especially when Paul Dano and DDL are interacting. Truly great filmmaking.
Agreed.
@@1funkyflyguy Daniel somehow transforms himself - mentally and physically - into the part he's playing to the point that it's sometimes hard to believe that it's even the same person. Leonardo DiCaprio is in that same category IMO.
An extraordinary actor & likely one of the most astonishing performances ever put on film.
Some people have been touched and blessed by the gods and given the ability to work ,create and do certain things better then anyone else in the world.
This man is one of those people.
He has worked incredibly hard but it’s more then that he has a great gift and I am so glad we have his great body of work to watch and enjoy.
Incredible movie, so much talent! Daniel and Paul were the perfect duo. The rest of the cast was awesome... the whole movie is a masterpiece
He masters every role. It's such a pleasure to watch this man perform.
There's certain features of people that really made their acting transcend what is possible. His eyes look like they have seen everything, they can express so much with so little - like Cillian's distant eyes, you feel drowning into them but in a different way.
He portrayed Cecil in A Room With A View way back in around 1986 or so.
You want to talk about acting range? You would never believe this was the same man.
He’s incredibly talented.
DDL has performed as, what are in my opinion, 2 of the finest performances in the history of Cinema: Bill the Butcher in Gangs of New York and Daniel Plainview in There Will Be Blood.
I also think his performance in My Left Foot is one of the greatest in the history of cinema.
An absolutely breathtakingly piece of art,for what it’s worth I’m in total awe of the film,score,sets and performances.
Never get tired of watching it.
An acting tour de force. The man completely and utterly immerses himself in his character. There’s not many actors this good.
I have watched There Will Be Blood at least 10 times if not more. Johnny Greenwood's haunting score coupled with some of DDL's most ferocious acting makes for a compelling repeat viewing.
I believe that film, There Will be Blood, wouldn't have been as spectacular as it is without the intense work Johnny Greenwood and his collective of musicians and technicians contributed to it. Most notably JW's musical genius and dedication to perfection.
That performance was absolutely frightening. I would hate to meet an individual like that. DDL is beyond the craft. Amazing!
Many high level Wall Street and business types are like this. Not as violent, but certainly as maniacally focused on winning at all costs.
I didn’t realize I was holding my breath the entire time he was talking. He’s incredibly mesmerizing.
I performed several renovation projects at the historic Greystone Mansion located in Beverly Hills California where the final scenes were filmed. The most important being in the bowling alley where the final scenes took place. I was in awe standing in the same spots that DDL was standing and in the bowling alley where he finally sits down to end the movie. In my opinion Daniel Day Lewis is the best actor I have ever seen on film. The Phantom Thread is severely underrated and his performance in that was also masterful
The guy everyone is trying to be when they go "method".
He goes "method." Every other actor goes "Daniel Day Lewis."
I'd still say Deniro is the most method guy: his prep for Raging Bull vs DDLs for The Boxer
@@user-io6eq9gt6w he may or not be the most method I was only saying that he seems to be the most associated with it. It's unfortunate that it has such negative connotations because of people like Jared Leto.
Now, this guy is a real actor!
Hands down the best actor. He embraces each role effortlessly. Amazing work.
Daniel Day-Lewis's portrayal in "There Will Be Blood" is nothing short of mesmerizing. His performance as Daniel Plainview is a masterclass in acting, immersing viewers into the complex psyche of a ruthless oil prospector consumed by ambition and greed. Day-Lewis brings an unparalleled intensity to the role, commanding every scene with his magnetic presence and unwavering commitment to character. His ability to convey a wide range of emotions, from cunning manipulation to profound loneliness, is truly remarkable. Through his nuanced performance, Day-Lewis elevates the film into a gripping exploration of power, capitalism, and the dark depths of the human soul. It's no wonder that his portrayal has cemented itself as one of the most iconic in cinematic history, earning him a well-deserved Academy Award for Best Actor. Daniel Day-Lewis's dedication to his craft shines through in every frame of "There Will Be Blood," leaving an indelible mark on audiences and solidifying his status as one of the greatest actors of our time.
It's absurd how much talent this guy has.
This actor's performance is intimidating, at the very least, visceral.
So glad to see Daniel work with Paul Dano, another exceptional actor
I wasn't expecting Daniel Day Lewis to look like that in real life.
Still the best acting I've ever seen. It's hard to describe but he becomes Daniel Plainview. The rest of the cast and film are amazing as well.
I hope he returns
One of my favorite movies. Very pleasurable and shocking and inspiring and forgiving.
He made everyone's performance enhanced. Paul Dano was incredible.
The greatest living film actor
him and joaquin phoenix
What a performance.he is the actor of the century
“I’m finished” was a classic line. He’s finished in so many ways.
He is a good example of acting as an art form.
Daniel Day Lewis would make an amazing Dutch Van Der Linde
He would also be great as Fjurg Van Der Ploeg
A short series with him as Dutch would be a heaven sent answer but it'll never happen just like Willam Defoe was never the joker. Crime against humanity
You know, I don't even think Dutch is a nuanced enough character for him to play... He's just that good an actor!
You take that back.
Every movie I've seen of this guy has been splendid.
He just chews up the screen. He is truly remarkable.
Love him as an actor he is so soft spoken
So talented it’s unbelievable. Love his work
Fantastic actor
He is the only actor who genuinely surprised me he was British.
every british actor is suprised me.
He still is British. A country of origin bears no significance upon great art (if actors can be said to be artists)
Irish???
Gary oldman
@@divinefallfromgracehuh? He was born and raised in London, England. I think he has joint UK-Irish nationality.
Man this guy is so blessed with such an ambiguous face, he could play any character from anywhere in the world and it would be believable, on top of the great acting of course
Christ I had no idea this is how he is in real life. I've only ever seen him in There Will Be Blood and Gangs of New York, I thought he was American and older than this. To see how he actually is in person makes me realise just how amazing his performance is in There Will Be Blood. Definitely one of the greatest performances ever put to film. Along with Tommy Wiseau in The Room of course.
“Drainnnnnnaggggggee!!” 😢😅
Haha, "Eli you booooy"
This guy becomes the character!
Este Film demostró de Daniel...NO TIENE LIMITES PARA LA ACTUACIÓN. FUE DESDE INICIO AL FINAL UN ACTOR Q CAPTA LA ATENCIÓN AL 100%. SIMPLEMENTE INCREÍBLE
As acclaimed as he has been, i still feel he’s modernly still not recognised or revered enough. He is, unquestionably, without exaggeration, one of the greatest ever. And i have serious doubt that among the greatest, eldest or not, of his peers or critics, there is even one who wouldn’t soundly agree.
He is the best character actor ever!
Apparently he’s coming out of retirement to make a film with Scorsese 👀
Don't play with us. For real?
Scorcese hasn't made a good movie for decades
@@columkenn Irishman, Wolf of Wall Street 😑
@@gamingflixx Once upon a time in Hollywood was Tarantino. All 3 of those movies were garbage
@@gamingflixxWolf of Wall Street is trash. Had any other director made it, it would have been rightfully labeled as such.
I like what he said about good character acting feeling to the audience like they're just stepping into the life of a character that has already been in existence for several years. And if the filmmakers are really good you can get that effect from the environments and scenery too. I remember when I saw the first Star Wars film (IV) I got that feeling when the action switched to Luke's home world. It felt like all this had been going on for hundreds of years and I was just peeking in.
Didn't even recognize him at first. What a G.

I appreciate is work. He is one of the toughest actors around. He completely becomes the character. Completely. Absolutely terrific actor in all aspects. My hat is off to you, Sir. Superb!!
Daniel Plainview was one of the the best performances in the history of cinema
Agreed.
Just watched this again for the umpteenth time last night and I'm still not sure which of his characters is more heartless, Daniel or Bill the Butcher
Daniel fs
Bill actually does possess a modicum of humanity.
Bill had charm which goes a long way
Yes.
I find his character in there will be blood to be one of the most intimidating ever put to film. I was genuinely tense watching that movie. It was awesome.
“DRRAAAAINNAGE!!! Drainage you …boy!”
"...you're just the afterbirth. Eli."
Props to Paul Dano
He went toe to toe with the greatest actor alive and held his own
His role was the movie. The rest of the characters, the set pieces, all were there as a vehicle for him to demonstrate his unreal ability to create an entirely new person out of thin air and then show us their story.
It's all about the MILKSHAKE
The irony is... non one in real life ever speaks like any of his characters..
You need to get around.
Agree, he's actually really over-rated.
This guy is easily the most compelling actor I’ve ever witnessed on screen
Hes a total mystery to me!
Just an utter genius and enigma! Everything he is in is total excellence!
How am I just now figuring out he’s British?
He gives very few interviews, so it's not a big surprise that you just found out, especially if you're young.
@@JennyJeong425 I'm old, and this I never knew. His acting chops are validated, in my most humble view.
He's not. He's Irish. Son of a famous Irish writer.
@@divinefallfromgrace Born in London, England, and holds dual-citizenship. Anglo-Irish.
Ive honestly never seen anyone act the way he does. Only Denzel comes close to that talent. His methodology is just bananas. No-one lives the character quite like Daniel.
I LOVE Denzel! He had embodied several great roles and is one of the greatest actors in my lifetime that can't be touched. Daniel Day-Lewis is absolutely above board as THE Greatest Method Actors of ALL TIME! I wholeheartedly believe that! While I understand your comparison between the two, it's hard to honestly compare them on equal footings. Day-Lewis's choices of roles have been so well tailored, that no one can play those roles ever again, IMHO! Denzel, has a broader range of roles that some could be redone without losing the character. But only a small sample of Denzel's roles would be redone, an extremely small sample, again, IMHO...
Get ready for this....
Denzel ain't that good
@@kreedsutherland4207denzels mediocre compared to this guy
@@IndividualThoughtPatterns And that's being generous
@@fragout9575 Denzel is not on this guys level. Not even close. Daniel Day Lewis is in the realm of actors like Olivier, Brando, Pacino, DeNiro, Nicholson and Oldman.
It's not just actors, a complimentary team(as he says too) and script acts as a worthy nectar for vessels as great as this guy. So many scenes were great, and you the World is just so much bigger and beyond the control of the character. Mr Anderson (agent Smith voice) nails it all the way at times.
This man who's acting is a work of art. Watching his movies are eventful, almost watching a artist putting his creations on a canvas..
I love this movie so much. It fell right into my academic scholarship and it was like no other treat I can think of short of living, working and land surveying with Daniel Plainview himself. But I would not want to do what an actor does. It is very taxing. I'm starting to write a screenplay and it is like giving birth and I cannot imagine what some actors go through to make things so authentic. I am a master historian, but I could not put myself into a character the way Daniel Day-Lewis does. Damn is it good when he does do it!
The fact that his entire look and persona is unrecognizable from his characters is very telling of his skills.
he's one of those few actors who can actually make you feel like you're in the room being intimidated by him. Gangs of New York is one of my all time favs.
Greatest actor in cinematic history. He makes most of the other so called "great actors" look like amateurs.
One of the best performers ever..!
It makes me happy that DDL is self aware of the silliness that some people might see in the method but has a genuine mechanism to counter that.
DDL ' es' el personaje que interpreta. Es tan intenso, tan veraz . Vivo su pasión y su furia... es maravilloso.
I have a tattoo of Bill the Butcher (Daniel Day Lewis). I saw him eating dinner outside in the North End of Boston one time, but obvs I didn’t want to disturb him. I told myself I’d show him my tattoo if I ran into him again, and then I laughed to myself at the unlikelihood of that happening.
I saw him the next day, sitting outside of a coffee shop by himself.
But I chickened out. 😢
Just such an amazing believable actor. Top of his trade by far
I've seen every film that the man was in, most several times & I plan to see whatever he acts in or directs in the future, God willing. His work speaks (volumes)
His dedication to his craft is absolute.
🤟🐻❄️
That Ending. You really thought his character would have developed or learned how to change his ways.
Nope!!!! Bitter and Diabolical until the very end. 😅😅😅 Perfect
He is the 🐐. No one can bring as much texture to characters as he does.
Paul Dano is perhaps the only actor I’ve seen that matched DDL in a film. He was incredible.
"I drink your milkshake"
🤣
He's such an awesome actor.
He's the only actor in the world to do my countries accent flawlessly. The northern Irish accent is notoriously hard to emulate and he nailed it. I'll never forget that.
Brando and Lewis, to me are the greatest actors I've seen in movies. Both have such on screen presence and depth that borders on madness then they just dial it back when they need to.
Just seeing him speak as his actual self is crazy to watch because it seems rare. The man is brilliant.
