Cox also worked with Jeremy Strong on Succession.
Strong is also a retarded method actor who goes full autismo just like Day-Lewis.

How come Cox didn't have anything to say about Strong?

What's the point of method acting? I understand staying in character between takes, if there's a technical issue and there's a break in the action, but at the same time you can watch actors like Ian McKellen and Christopher Lee break during serious scenes in Lord of the Rings, laugh it off, and then immediately deliver performances greater than any shoe Lewis has cobbled, and don't get me wrong, he's cobbled some great performances so to speak.
I just wonder if they were really worth it, or if the methodology is necessary, or even beneficial. Seems like it would make the other cast and crew uncomfortable, but at the end of day as long as you don't use it to act like a complete asshole, or try and force it on other people, I really don't care.

Yeah, but that's not method, Danny, it's just being a cunt. Method is where, if you have to do a scene of a character crying over his dead family, instead of pantomiming tears by wringing your hands around your eyes,you think about shit that makes you cry. If Danny had to perform such a scene, he'd just murder his whole family and then not even cry about it. Fucking actors should be replaced with synths, we'd get more human performance out of clankers and they'd look less uncanny valley than these surgical monstrosities, anyway. Also, where the fuck do they get off making anti-union propaganda when their whole industry is a closed shop? Burn him alive, I say, the Mohicans weren't meant to last.

Method acting is only worth something if it can coax good performance out of an actor who would otherwise performed poorly. If it works for actor like Lewis, great, let him do it, but otherwise it is like kissing a lucky frog before a take, it will do fuckall for someone who sucks balls (Jared Leto comes to mind).
You posted great counterargument in a form of McKellen, or Lee or perhaps Anthony Hopkins. I don't see them ever giving bad performance, no matter how bad script is.
>>
>>215683716
This makes sense. I see non method actors give better performances than most method actors so I don’t see how doing all this added shit really benefits the performance. Bottom line is if you have charmaine you will captivate an audience more then not sleeping for three days to “get into character”

Not sleeping for three days is funny, because I never thought I will ever see a person on camera that would be unable to pretend being tired, sleepy or waking up from haze, so I never gave it any thought, but then I saw that indian chick from Alien Earth, completely unable to simulate waking up, and I reevaluated my opinion.

For me? It's Michael Fassbender and Sam Rockwell. The former of whom has been in a lot of shitty movies, notably the X-Men prequels, but Jesus Christ is he giving it everything no matter how bad the screenplay is.
Anthony Hopkins meanwhile was really the only part of Thor Ragnarok I liked. He goes from the comedic portrayal of Loki (as Odin), to what is quite possibly one of the best death scenes in recent history, and finally shows back up at the ending to give a great motivational speech.
Without those brief sequences, that screenplay is as shitty as Love and Thunder, which in its own right could have been forgiven and even remembered fondly (despite all of its comedic shortcomings) if they had taken Zeus and Gorr seriously. Damn, I loved that ending with Infinity. Shame the scene is trapped in such a God awful film. Hemsworth deserved better than that, and playing second fiddle in Furiosa. Dude needs to fire his agent at this point and start taking himself seriously, and that doesn't mean not doing comedy, which he's surprisingly good at.

I can’t fault either type, neither approach is better because after all approach and process doesn’t matter, only the result. If DDL needs to embody the role to perform I don’t fault him. But I also don’t fault people who see acting as a profession which you can leave at work or even break up the monotony of on-set time with some levity.

Neither is superior but you can’t help but glean an air of smugness from DDL that he thinks the other kind is being unprofessional. The only thing I would find unprofessional is trying to get a method actor to break character. Thats no game and I do think it would be more than annoying but flat out sabotage.

But having fun on the set with others while you stew in character isnt and shouldn’t be verboten. As long as they’re focused and quiet when the cameras are rolling, not wasting time, there’s no should be no problem.

Method generally just means “doesn’t leave character between takes”. It makes it less likely for you to have microexpressions that clash with your character. It’s completely irrelevant for theater, which is why theater and classically trained actors don’t do it. But when your face is blown up in 4K in modern movies it’s helpful.

He was pretty much the focus in Furiosa, Miller gave him the spotlight in the same way he gave Theron's Furiosa the spotlight in Fury Road. It's funny how his main character is never really the main character nor the driving force in the movie.

All that said, yes Hemsworth clearly has a lot of untapped potential that he is wasting in shitty movies.

Honestly his real mistake here is using this opportunity to take a jab at Cox because of something the said so long ago. Instead, maybe he should try and defend his method with still came out as a lit bit loony when he says "I choose to stay and splash around, rather than jump in and out or play practical jokes with whoopee cushions between takes or whatever people think is how you should behave as an actor." He sounds like some austistic fuck that is pretty mad normal people can go in and out characters between takes unlike him that needs therapy to remember who he is.

Ledger didn't went full retardo, at least not for the Joker if this is what you mean. Plenty of people mentions that he went in and out of character between takes, shame we don't have any material of this because Nolan basically hates BTS material and burns everything after the movie is done.

THIS. Anyone who believes the “Heath Ledger got killed by his method acting for the Joker” story is either a jeet or a conspiracy theorist. IIRC it was his dedication to commit to the Terry Gilliam flick following TDK. The conditions were shitty and he got sick while filming and insisted on continuing. His health worsened and that got him back to chugging painkillers, which ultimately killed him.

>Daniel Day-Lewis, who I've always loved, the way that he works, I don't know that he would call it "method", but it's what I consider the idea of method, which is that... you know, he played that thing with the guy who got thrown in prison, the father... he actually spent like 5 days in a prison with guards waking him up all the time, dehydrated, because he wanted to experience that... and I was like... I mean, that's amazing, right? But also kind of useless, because his experience in that is not the character's experience in that. If I'm a hardened gangster and I'm in prison for 6 months, if I actually go and spend 6 months in prison... I'm a wimpy theater actor, so my reaction to prison is gonna be different to the gangster's reaction to prison, so the one to one doesn't actually work, whereas the analogy is what works, which is: gangster is to prison, what David is to what? Because it's my blood, my flesh that is gonna react.

Lol DDL does take it to meme levels.

From what I heard Ledger was mixing weed, booze, painkillers and sleep medication, and that mix killed him. You don't fuck with sleep medication, that's the killing factor here, but since he was divorcing his wife (if I'm not wrong) and just played the Joker people assumed he went mad, but it was just him being careless with his health

He's pretty good indeed, however he lacks range - he's always playing the same type of autistic fuck that stare at clouds in different settings - and he's a insufferable faggot to be around. Kirk Lazarus in Tropic Thunder was 100% a jab at him
