I'll transcribe here what I said about Pattinson in my original comment because I think it's very relevant> "As for Hayden Christensen, you make a GREAT point. I don't see him as that good an actor overall, but the way people went after him for the SW prequels was way too vicious and completely killed his career. Looking it from your angle, makes it even more unjust. I'm reminded of Robert Pattinson, who was TERRIBLE in the Twilight movies from the scenes I saw here and there, but since it was all the rage at the time and everyone was in love with him, he was given the chance to do incredible work in prestigious directors' movies like Cosmopolis (David Cronemberg), Good time (Safdie Brothers) and Tenet (Christopher Nolan). The thing about Twilight, it seems, is that he had absolutely no respect for the material, which I honestly understand."

@@JuPaschoal it wasn't exactly that he had no respect for the material, although after his fame exploded he did kinda feel that way about the franchise since he loathed how people started to act towards him, but it was that he initially had a different idea of how Edward would behave & about his motivations than the directors/producers did so he went in doing his initial version since that was how he prepared. They hated it. He had to completely revamp mid-project in order to keep his job. That's why the movie feels a bit like he is flipping back & forth between personalities. They didn't reshoot the earlier takes so it just kinda feels discombobulated somehow & a little uncanny valley. (My daughters were obsessed so I ended up living Twilight mania.) After the first one where seemingly overnight the resulting fame made his life extraordinarily difficult, he started hating everything about it. He supposedly hates the franchise much less these days.

Looking at his career post-Twilight, seems clear to me that he took the gig for little to nothing more than money and exposure and was on autopilot throughout, you know? The guy is an INCREDIBLE actor and I'm glad he was able to outlive Edward.

I think his talent is especially shown in his role as Abed- like there are points where he has to Act like he’s Acting while staying in character as the character he’s acting, and he pulls it off. He’s incredible at facial expressions and subtle physical acting (if you watch him as Brad vs Abed his mannerisms are entirely different it’s actually kind of scary, there have been times where my brain genuinely couldn’t reconcile that the two characters were played by the same person.) I’ve seen him in some truly awful movies, where the writing is weird and the directing is weird, and even then he manages to make the character come to life.

I came to the same conclusion when researching good acting, most people tend to give credits to loud screaming and crying, which even isn’t that hard if you got practice and talent. Some subtle stuff is way more effective than being loud.

As I am an actor myself, your take on REACTION is true. Very hard. But if you have such good acting partners whom, even though the cameras are not on them but they chose to “act on that scene” behind the cameras just to help you have the real humans to react upon, THAT IS CALLED GENEROUS ACTORS. This happened in The Walking Dead. Andrew Lincoln as Rick Grimes stayed on the set and acted on his lines behind the cameras just for Norman Reedus as Daryl to help him have best close up shots. Normal actors won’t do that because it means they have to work harder, longer for nothing (because they are not in the shots). So the actors on set need to act with the cardboard (of the acting partner) or the AD who just read the lines to you.

Feel like breaking bad will always be a show people think of when they think of genuinely good shows, doesn't matter if that's writing, cinematography or acting. It's just all top notch.

Absolutely, and he can clearly act on the opposite side of the spectrum too. Mysterio starts off as a typical hero character, and he sells it really well.

As a professional paid actor I’m shocked at how much you know for someone that’s not trained. “Acting is reacting” is the staple line that everyone has heard, but things like “as humans we try to be okay” is something so many working actors don’t know. We as humans don’t like being vulnerable so we try not to cry. We try not to rage. But our investment has to be equal to our reaction. If you are invested and present with your scene partner then you will automatically give those reaction shots because “the body does not lie”. If you aren’t invested then you just look like surprised pikachu. The best compliment you can ever get is “I didn’t even realise you were acting”.

@brooklynnlaurick1859

Жыл бұрын

This is so true. My sister was in a small production of Les Misérables as part of the ensemble. All of the background characters were told to improvise their actions while the main cast were singing/doing their thing. Long story short, her character was in the back trying to sell a head of lettuce, and a kid pretended to be interested before snatching it and running away. It was funny to watch her chase after him in shock knowing that she actually hadn't expected that to happen.

My favourite moments are when a character can be perfectly encapsulated in just one scene, or even one line. The first scene that comes to mind is weirdly in Men in Black, when J says "better to have loved and losses than never to have loved at all" and K just goes "try it". The line was done so perfectly and I suddenly felt like I knew everything I needed to know about him.

7:11 Yeah, I also went back and rewatched them, and the entirety of the 3 original Spiderman movies makes SO much more sense if, at any time someone is talking to Peter, you imagine there's a cymbal monkey hammering away inside his head. He acts like he genuinely doesn't understand how human interactions are supposed to work. And you know what? It fits perfectly with the script he's given. I had also completely forgotten just how much J.K. Simmons absolutely just highway robbery's every scene he's in. The way he delivers his snappy comebacks were Oscar worthy

I just want to say that whether is was intentional or not, the roboticness of Anikin perfectly represents his character. His whole thing is that he can't fully express himself.

In The Silence of the Lambs, Anthony Hopkins allowed for a natural and tentative chemistry to unfold between his and Jodie Foster's characters by not interacting with her outside of each take - a simple, highly effective, and respectful way of involving your acting process off set/in real life. Meanwhile, Jared Leto sent ANIMAL CARCASES to his cast mates (just thinly veiled, gross harassment) and still gave a shit performance. Method acting isn't your free for all excuse to be a menace.

One of the best acting performances I've ever seen, hands down, is Bill Hader on "Barry" (honestly, I’m surprised Drew didn’t even bring it up in the video). It's always such a visceral whiplash to realize "Oh wait. This is the same exact guy who played Stefon on SNL. What in the absolute f**k?! How can Bill Hader be so laugh-out-loud funny in one scene and then act with such a raw, terrifying anger or such a vulnerable, palpable sadness in the next?!?!” He’s just THAT talented and it’s enough to send any actor worth his salt into a jealous rage trying to figure out how he pulls off such a delicate tightrope. Somehow, he manages to keep a murderous assassin who does terrible things and murders people in order to cover up his crimes extremely sympathetic. His facial expressions are incredible and amazing, as well!

Another thing that bothers me about Jared Leto’s performance is that he is just trying to act as insane as possible. Look at Heath Ledger’s Joker - that performance is not good because he plays an insane man. There’s so many layers to the character. He visibly gets annoyed when people call him crazy. He’s shows emotions of pure joy while he’s enacting his plans. He plays the character like he is the only sane man in the room. There’s really just a wealth of really cool things he does beyond screaming and being a fucking maniac.

They're all trying to capture that performance but they're not understanding how it came to be or why it actually worked. it wasn't because he started sending animals in the mail guys.

Not to undermine Ledger's peformace, but his character was also written like that. What did Suicide Squad have in terms of character writing, besides stereotypical but still bland cookie-cutter villans? Good acting is also a collaborative effort between the writing/directing and the actors themselves.

Have you seen Heath on Brokeback Mountain? It's the epitome of subtlety.

One of the most underrated actors is Cillian Murphy. He's embodies every character he's ever played and even in bad movies like "In Time" he never lowers his skills. Watch Inception, Watching Detectives, Batman, Peacock, Peaky Blinders, 28 days later, etc. he's phenomenal in all those rolls and completely different from the last character. There's a video of Cillian preparing for the role and he's methodically practicing the way in which one of his characters should hold themselves, how they should walk and look at other people. It's incredible and it shows in the final performance. He is an actor's actor and I have nothing bad to say about him.

Yes! This one scene towards the end of the last episode of season 2 of Peaky Blinders is burned into my brain because of how good he is in it. And it really came down to the way he was walking in it

Bryan Cranston as Walter White is probably one of the best roles ever. He’s genuinely so compelling and powerful, I couldn’t help but try my best to root for him throughout all of the evil fucked up stuff he did within the show. It was only through season 5 where shit really started to hit the fan where I lost all hope of redemption, he truly went off of the deep end where he could never turn back. I finished breaking bad a couple hours ago and it’s probably one of my most favourite shows of all time.

Completely agree. Videos are so strong on both fronts.

The fact Drew said that scenes of men lashing out in anger are overrated and followed it with "a good reaction shot can be just as powerful or devastating as whatever they're reacting too" set to shots of women reacting to lashing-out men is a _power move._ It says so much so subtly.

I think good acting is when you’re fully invested in a movie/show and don’t even have to think that it is good or bad acting

This is why I think Anya Taylor Joy’s performance in Emma is incredible.

I genuinely really enjoy watching Drew’s full video essays on shows I’ve never ever seen before.

Please make more of these! The writing of this video was so entertaining that I was more interested in watching a video essay about great television instead of watching television :) thanks drew

The “Gooden Stare" is one of Drew Gooden's most recognizable directorial techniques, a method of shot composition where a character stares at the camera with a forward tilt, to convey to the audience that the character in question is at the peak of their derangement.

I heard some Kubrick guy copied his technique, what an asshole! 🙄

I really like this type of video. Acting breakdowns on like a specific show or movie would be really cool

This is an impressive analysis of how the creative field of filmmaking actually works. It’s the whole team, everyone has to bring quality to the creation, not just a few people.

“I’ll take down the Empire when you fix this damn door!” This, sir, deserves an Oscar. And an Emmy. Maybe even a Kid’s Choice Award.

Wasn't expecting that clip of Robert Pattinson dropping sage wisdom in this video essay but thoroughly enjoyed it
