>Dustin Hoffman has long been known as one of method acting’s most earnest exponents. A showbiz story involves his collaboration with Laurence Olivier on the 1976 film Marathon Man. Upon being asked by his co-star how a previous scene had gone, one in which Hoffmann’s character had supposedly stayed up for three days, Hoffmann admitted that he too had not slept for 72 hours to achieve emotional verisimilitude. “My dear boy,” replied Olivier smoothly, “why don’t you just try acting?”
i think that's the same story about two guys on a set, and the character has to be sweaty, so the guy runs around for 10 minutes, and the other actor says "why not just act?"
Brando was literally the opposite, everyone was blown away by the way he just showed up and acted like he was in the scene while they were all acting like they were acting

>Brando was literally the opposite,
This
Brando couldn't even remember his lines, people had to wear cue cards on their chests so he could read them as he acted, but he was brilliant anyway

Some actors are idiots. When one of the best tells you just do your fricking job and move on you should realize how pretentious you are.
it's always been an excuse so when someone plays a Nazi and it comes off really naturally they have to say they spent years training to act like that and it damaged their soul kek
It never looks good outside of extremely brief limited uses, and 80 year old Deniro having a 'fight' scene may be one of the more humiliating things put onto film
Accurate. You don't need a specific license to cook or act. Forklift drivers have to certifiy their skills with government lest they be an unknown danger to others.
I started talking to myself because I realised that there would frequently be days at a time where I didn't say a single word and I was worried I'd develop a speech impediment of some kind
>call up friend >they give minor lip service before diving into a bunch of shit you don't care about >just want to be able to do that to somebody for once instead of receiving
i realize it's selfish, but they do it to me 100% of the time.
People that do this shit are self-absorbed, narcissistic morons. They have zero understanding of conversational etiquette. I stopped talking to an old friend who did the shit daily, it's a massive relief not having to hear his valid bullshit anymore
I've grown noticeably less eloquent over the years. Used to be well-spoken and witty, now I'm stuttering because I can't remember the last time I bantered with someone. It's like that movie Cast Away, I'm slowly losing my ability to form coherent sentences.
I sometimes speak with myself, but it can only slow the deterioration, not reverse it.
I can't remember who said it, but there was an actor recently who said something along the lines that you only see people method act to play buttholes. Nobody method acts to play nice people, so really it all boils down to an excuse to be a c**t on set.
What does playing a character who doesn't talk much have to do with being alone? You don't talk to anyone between shots? After the shoot? Before the shoot? Your only normal social interaction is regurgitating lines in front of a camera?
The most alone you've been in your life is working surrounded by people but having to be quiet while you're doing your job?
I was watching a clip about how Christian Bale stays in character but only mannerisms, voice etc. And for the first time I actually get it. I mean if. Simone says to you hey do that impression of Trump that’s makes every one laugh. It’s hard to suddenly turn it on and act like someone including voice, mannerisms etc. Far easier to all day hold the voice and mannerisms etc while on set and then you don’t need to ‘turn it on’ for a 20 second camera shot. I actually think it’s reasonable.
Was this done as a protest against the script?
Because this sounds hilarious. >I am woman hear me roar! >Oh the script only has a few lines of dialogue I guess I’ll just be a good little girl and shut the frick up
This is unintentionally hilarious.
Oh what a girl boss!
Yes Mr Miller I won’t say anything, I’ll do whatever you want.
Imagine a Hollywood actor working a normal job for 1 month.

I really don't feel any one of them would hack it. Even if they were good in one aspect of the job they would hate the other parts because their ego would stand in the way. Actors are basically lazy teenagers.
Powerful.
It never is.
It just means they can't act.
Actors are so fricking moronic. Why not just go on set, play your fricking role and then frick off. Is it that hard?
You can blame that frickwit hack Brando for this shit

these are thespians, my dear
It's just marketing dumbass. They're drumming up attention for their upcoming movie.
it's always been an excuse so when someone plays a Nazi and it comes off really naturally they have to say they spent years training to act like that and it damaged their soul kek
A woman who shuts the frick up? Must have damn near killed her.
as if she wasn't on her multiple phones constantly getting her soothing asspats. granted it doesn't fulfill womens constant need to be catty and petty
FIRST POST BEST POST.
doesn't Furiosa only speak when necessary in Fury Road
should've just de-aged Charlize with as much CGI they chocked in it
>should've just de-aged
absolutely fricking not
>not my heckerino wasteland capeshit
>capeshit out of nowhere
I'm sorry not everyone enjoys muttBlack person superhero flicks anon 🙁
she barely would look different from fury road especially with half her face black
irishman is applying it to a geriatric
it would take minor tweaking and the new actress is sloth eyed and weak looking
>de-aged Charlize
Miller said he became averse to the idea after watching The Irishman lol
smart move, these old farts underestimate how much time it takes to make it look good even for just one shot.
It never looks good outside of extremely brief limited uses, and 80 year old Deniro having a 'fight' scene may be one of the more humiliating things put onto film
>you take that back you little shit my father fought in the war!
>put up your dukes and ill teach you a lesson
holy shit is this real?
250 million dollars well spent!
no it's a movie dumbfrick goy
Time to find the answer:
Who has the toughest jobs ever that normal people just couldn't handle; cooks or actors?
Easy.
Accurate. You don't need a specific license to cook or act. Forklift drivers have to certifiy their skills with government lest they be an unknown danger to others.
Kek, she read the script before accepting the role, right??
She looks like that sirio man dildo dude from game of thrones.
>waaaaaah if I don't get to talk about myself every five minutes means I'm alone
Do women really?
I started talking to myself because I realised that there would frequently be days at a time where I didn't say a single word and I was worried I'd develop a speech impediment of some kind
I've thought about that too, but then I remembered a movie about a lonely guy who talks to himself and they called it Psycho.
I was worried about that but so far a few days in I have no problems. I make small talk when I go to the store though.
>call up friend
>they give minor lip service before diving into a bunch of shit you don't care about

>valid bullshit
i would be upset too if it's valid bullshit and then your friend doesn't give a frick either i would blow a gasket.
The days where I don’t have to say anything are my favorite.

I don't get it, she didn't seem like a mute in Fury Road. Why ape Max's thing?
>months without speaking
Welcome to my life.
>this is the horrid thing I experienced on set, ask me in 20 years when I may have overcome the trauma

Powerful. Remember her name!
I wish more modern women would method act this way

I feel like some of the men could definitely hack blue-collar jobs but the women would definitely go insane as waitresses or clerks or bank tellers.
actually didn't Christian Bale spend some time in a steel mill before he did 'Out Of The Furnace'?
I really don't feel any one of them would hack it. Even if they were good in one aspect of the job they would hate the other parts because their ego would stand in the way. Actors are basically lazy teenagers.
come now, surely Mark Wahlberg could work in say, a Vietnamese restaurant without any problems...
"I've never been more alone"
Women...

it's gay
