loved this ..U focused on DeNero .. but Chris .. U overlooked Method actor/teacher Bobby Lewis when U named teachers ..Bobby was in Group Theater .. founded The Actors Studio w EliaKazan.. both working directors they gave it over to unemployed Lee Strasberg.. Bobby Lewis wrote book “Method or Madness” created/launched Yale’s Drama Department where he taught Meryl Streep.. she recommended him to study with bcause of his excellence in conveying the core of method acting🎭♥️
@@OrganicActing indeed. For me personally, it's about whatever works for the individual actor and being flexible and open enough to try other ways that may offer the key insight that perhaps unblocks something. Deny nothing in pursuit of the truth. Thoroughly enjoy your posts BTW. Thank you.

In a pinch, you can use breathing techniques to instantly change your emotions. Want to get angry, breathe in heavy and exhale heavy quickly. You will see how fast you can become angry
The Meisner technique is far superior to the Adler technique. It's more of a "what's my problem with you" than bringing up personal experiences to bring up emotions. You don't need to recall the day your dog died to make you cry in a scene where your wife is dying. Just connect with the other person and allow yourself to have a thin skin.
Yes, that's right. Although, I always wondered how essential it was to learn Meisner: watching, listening and responding, in the moment, are foundation techniques in acting and a 'given' (in my humble opinion).
@@OrganicActing my acting coach was trained by Sandy, and I find it easier to get "the ball to drop" using his technique. We want to be truthful and not "real." You can be real in therapy. It's much easier to get down to the basic of "what's my problem with the other person, and not getting it." Say that you want someone to leave, and they are not doing it. How are you going to react in this situation to get this person out, and how are you going to respond when he or she doesn't do it. Also, you have to have a sense of urgency as well. When do you want this person out? Now, tomorrow, next week? Hopefully, it's now, because you are going to let it hit you harder and your emotional response will will be better more immediate. I hate "method" acting, because it wants you to accept a false situation that you know is false. When you are on stage "waving goodbye to your friend who is going to die" and you are looking at the wings, you are not seeing a friend going to die, you see two stage hands playing cards. It's how you feel about your friend that gives you your emotions.
I still put it down to how strong an actor's imagination is and whether they give up too easily. A slice of life is not for the squeamish. You either can manage it or you can't. Other techniques are available.

There's a certain irony in delivering this whilst standing alongside that quote from Olivier!
Indeed. Although straight after stating that Olivier conceeded he did the same 'crazy things' while playing Hamlet. 😉

For sure. For me though - as a student of Staniskavski, naturalism and theatrical truth - this is akin to 'pretending' rather than 'experiencing'.
Would love to see a Daniel Day Lewis video on this!
.... then you're in luck. 😉
@@OrganicActing awaiting......
0:35 These are very good movies for in own genre. You just repeat your conversation with memorized, taught herd psychology about these movies.
This isn't a movie review channel. Also, this video is a commentary on De Niro's acting technique.
@@OrganicActing Relax loser. :)
