Do you agree?

I’m more interested in the scandal at the BBC. I wonder what those rascals did this time

>>213469852 (OP)
1. Pacino
2. PSH
3. DDL

disagree

I never particularly liked him but I'm pretty much a pleb when it comes to judging or appreciating the quality of acting. I can differentiate between extremely bad acting and the rest, but for the life of me, I cannot differentiate between decent-ish and extremely good acting. Time may as well have put Nicolas Cage on the cover with the same headline and I would not have a way of arguing against it.

>>213469985
The vast majority of people can’t tell the difference between good and bad acting so don’t feel bad

>>213469852 (OP)
What an issue!

imo, I think a really talented actor is someone who can effortlessly convince the viewers that they're watching the character and not the actor. When I watch Godfather I don't see Marlon Brando, I see Don Corleone.

>>213469852 (OP)
How could someone who has to brainwash themselves for years to to get into character be a better actor than Brando, a guy who doesn't even bother to learn his lines and still has more oscar nominations?

But that happens to me pretty quickly if the actor is even half-decent.

I drank the vodka.

definitely one of them. he's extraordinarily talented, especially in comparison to actors born post 1990.

show me an actor born after 1990 who's even in the same vicinity.

For me it's Jon Bernthal

Just good ol' Jimmy and his antics. Remember, this is from November, 2012.

This is probably the most succinct summary of what a "good" actor is. Authenticity is the key. Similarly to other branches of art being a great technician could be genuinely admirable, but it doesn't necessarily mean you can provoke and convey emotions to the audience.

>le overacting man

>>213470418
you've only ever watched gangs of new york and there will be blood. Yes?

>>213470186
That's why at no point in history anyone took acting as a serious profession until jews told them to. Because it's not hard and everyone does it every day.

I like Gene Oldman

No, because he was never in Star Wars.

>>213470383
I hope somebody got fired for that blunder

to me the fact that the guy didn't speak a word of japanese, had a california accent and didn't know jack shit about karate makes him the greatest of them all

>>213469852 (OP)
There can only be one greatest, baby

Are you me? Almost identical list except I'd put Brad Pitt at 3

Some meme method actor isn't the best.

I think it was just the lul of good films that came out in the 2000s, he was working in a time when films were pretty bad and only seemed good in comparison. His acting looking back is kind of goofy

I agree he is the best actor that ever lived and will ever exist in this whole universe and all the other parallel universes combined

>>213469852 (OP)
hey it's that british monkey guy

Him playing that cerebral palsy guy in My Left Foot is without a doubt the greatest performance ever given.

Kinda makes his cringey method acting shit sound legit

No. Jackie Chan is better.

I get where you are coming from with that.. All of the other "great" actors (Pacino, De Niro, Nicholson, for example) have been in tons and tons of shitty films just for the paycheck, and it dilutes their status a bit. Daniel Day Lewis doesn't do things that way, if it isn't pure kino he won't have anything to do with it. That selectiveness is a big part of his reputation, as much as his actual acting ability.
