@@catchbooker7257 Gangs of New York and Lincoln. Just commercial Oscar baity movies especially the latter. Former was a really mediocre movie so it didn't work out but it was obviously made for that reason. While I would agree that DDL was great in those regardless, Gary Oldman killed it in the Dark Knight movies as well be it commercial or art. His acting was superb and he nailed the role to the point that some critics thought that he should have been nominated at Oscars for The Dark Knight for supporting actor. So I don't know how Oldman doing The Dark Knight movies place him below DDL when they are some of the greatest trilogies if not the greatest trilogy to be ever made.
@@Izaan2810 I'll give you Lincoln, Oscar bait like the Iron Lady with Meryl Steep but we'll have to agree to disagree on Gangs Of New York. Very few 18 rated films are commercial success's. Scorcese (apart from maybe The Irishman) doesn't make commercial films. I mean commercial like the the Marvel/DC Universe.
80s Crim It's heartbreaking. That character he played married one of RFKs daughters. Had a daughter who committed suicide recently. Some people are just made to suffer.
Thank you, finally someone mentions his beautifull role of Gerry Conlon in ITNOTF!! The Medal scene, with the late GREAT Pete Postlethwaite, will rip you apart. Its that good, its on YT.
There is not a sliver of ego or pretension in DDL's acting. He's just a master of his craft, and the craft comes first in his films. Watching him act is like listening to John Coltrane play the saxophone. Pure bliss.
Very true. I've seen it once and I don't think I will ever want to see it again, it's so good but that character made me so uncomfortable. He's not scary or terrifying, he's just so... unsettling.

@@Garrus1995 I really tried to love it because Scorsese is always the consummate professional. Can't get away from a theatrical, corporate sheen over the whole project, though.

Hadn't put it into words before but overall, I'd say the tensions and pressures of the shoot appeared to take away from the tensions and pressures the story was trying to convey.
@@Garrus1995 I think a lot of people have the opinion that it is a good movie now. Clearly gets a lot of views as it is re-run quite a lot. It was quite a new format at the time though with very close camera shots. It doesn't stand out as much today because a lot of movies do the same thing. But at the time it felt a bit cheap like they were cutting corners by shooting so close without any panoramic views. Basically a cheaper way to shoot if the wider shots don't look good. What year did you first see the movie?
My favourite Daniel Day-Lewis role is Bill the Butcher. I’m not sure about the film as a whole, but he owns every minute he’s on screen! The squint of his eyes is genuinely menacing. The scene where he takes to the stage and plays to the crowd like a pantomime villain has a delicious circularity.
The first movie I saw him act in was 'My Left Foot', where he plays a real-life character named Christy Brown, who was disabled. It was phenomenal.

Remarkable Crumlin Dublin and thereabouts had and has successfull figures in fighting sports for a smallish ( perhapss tiny certainly by usa standards)area /population.Daniel Day Lewis should have movie/tv studios tailoring movies for him , I can gladly watch and enjoy semi mindless movies but like some engaging stuff from time to time like probably most folks
A lot of Lincoln's dialog in the movie came directly from the massive biography on Abraham Lincoln by John Nicolay and John Hay. Nicolay and Hay were long time private secretaries to Lincoln who had been with him for many years of Lincoln's career, even before his presidency. In the movie "Lincoln", Hay was played by Joseph Cross and Nicolay was played by Jeremy Strong. They do not have many speaking parts in the movie but in nearly every scene with Lincoln meeting with his cabinet they can be seen in the background, listening and observing. Yes, it is impossible to know precisely what Lincoln said word for word, but much of it was reconstructed based on that biography. And there were perhaps no two better people to write a bio on Lincoln than his longtime aides and secretaries John Hay and John Nicolay. In fact, just about every single biography ever written on Lincoln is pulling information from Nicolay and Hay's books.
@@ThePopbanks007 its just method, he becomes what his role is because he thinks it makes his acting more authentic. considering how well his career went i daresay it paid off
Daniel Day-Lewis and Gary Oldman... man... two of the precious few people who fit into that Brando bracket. I don't think it's a stretch to say that he's the greatest living actor of the last 35 years! "There will be blood" has the greatest performance by an actor of any movie I've seen that was MADE in my lifetime.
DDL is the greatest Actor of all time.. Dozens of amazing Actors and a lot of them are the best in their own unique way. But DDL is just the best Actor hands down. I don't think a lot of people have seen his film "My Left Foot" his performance is just next level.
You actually believe he's completely disabled in My Left Foot. A true story too. That was the 1st Day Lewis movie I saw and I still think it's the best acting I've ever seen from an actor. Just utterly stellar.
during the last of the mohicans he actually trained to be able to shoot from a long distance for real. In the movie "the crucible" he made his own shack and lived in it so he could be immersed in that world. he is just on another level.
@@RanThaMan so what, he doesn't live close to people now lol...come on! He's just a man. He has friends and neighbours and goes to the store to buy toilet paper when he needs to take a shit! Why do people act like you smh!?
There will be blood is for me the greatest acting I’ve ever seen. It felt like you saw the obsessive greed and need for more that drives some people. Some people are so far ahead of other people already at the top of their professions it’s incredible. Daniel Day Lewis is one of them.
DDL outshines everyone in almost all his films. I think one co-star that closes on matching his performance is Sally Field in Lincoln. But Sally is also a method actor. She was great in that movie. Another good one is Winona in the Crucible considering how young she was, her performance was really impressive.
Daniel Day doesn't stay in character all the time during filming, he keeps the voice and mannerisms but mentally he switches in and out of the character like a professional actor. People who do method acting can take it too far being a jerk on set (Dustin Hoffman) but real method actors commit to the part without abusing/confusing people and holding up production. But seriously, get Daniel Day on the show. He'd probably be very amused by talking someone drastically different than him like Joe.
Amazing Daniel Day, Christian Bale, Tom Hardy, Al Pachino those guys who still use method acting are the most dedicated to the craft and in my opinion give the most amazing performances but Daniel Day cant be out matched
@@Blackhawk211 the most underrated movie that I really enjoyed that barley gets any recognition The Machinist and American Psycho both both roles he physically changed and gave some of the most haunting performances
I read that Daniel Day Lewis when playing the role of a paralysed man in My left foot, he method acted being paralysed throughout the production and that he had to be moved around in a wheelchair, lifted over things and even fed by the crew. Sounds like a pain if you ask me.
He did it once, forced people to carry him in a wheel chair. But there was a reason, he wanted to feel the shame of people hating to carry him around, and used that emotion on screen.
I truly believe Gangs of New York is one of the the best films of all time. Daniel Day Lewis truly created a character that you felt uncomfortable and fearful watching. And DiCaprio - despite him getting shat on for being outshined by Lewis - really was outstanding as well, because his acting is what made Bill the Butcher feel so eerily terrifying. You could just feel his fearful hate of Bill the Butcher; he created a character most of us can relate to - feeling as though he must avenge his Father, yet also knowing he’s up against a bad mf. Then the way the director subtly implied that Bill the Butcher was a step ahead of Leo… so we were always unsure if Leo was going to succeed or not. Just a fantastic movie, and that closing scene was an all time epic.
Well said friend. That closing scene dropped my jaw. That did more than leave a memory, it etched something deep into the psyche and our collective folk memory.
Gangs of New York is such an underrated movie and DDL as Bill the Butcher was absolutely brilliant. Daniel is definitely on the Mt Rushmore of acting. I've never seen him be anything other than amazing in every role
@@saintniccage2818 I can tell a joke when I see it, but I think it also carries the seed of a certain misconception about Lewis which I've seen repeated all over, which is that he's this braggart that uses his dedication specifically for external admiration, a snobbish badge of honor. He's been known to discuss his craft when asked, but never in the way that it's used by studios as a drawing point, and it tends to get blown to a proportion that the dude's not really comfortable with, as he's actually more of an introvert. So yeah, excuuuuuuuuuuuse me, princess.
I think the film is great due to the fact that that was really going on in what today is China town in NYC. I remember walking down a road and there was an intersection and my friend was like "this is the historic five points" I went full nerd mode.
Daniel Day Lewis is a once in a generation or two kind of talent. And he is such a diminutive and humble soul that explodes on the camera with a force that can never be contained. There is a reason he is the best actor in the world.
DDL rejected the following roles all of which he was first choice for 1. Lestat - Interview With the Vampire ( Tom Cruise accepted the role ) 2. Salvatore Giuliano - The Sicilian ( Christopher Lambert accepted the role ) 3. Simon Templar - The Saint ( Val Kilmer accepted the role ) 4. Almasy - The English Patient ( Ralph Fiennes accepted the role ) And finally 5. Vincent Vega - Pulp Fiction ( John Travolta accepted the role ) Had DDL accepted No 5 would Travolta have had such a comeback that he did for 8-10 years
There will be Blood was a weird , fantastic film and DDL was just unforgettable. I saw it at the theater and couldn't stop thinking about how brilliant and volatile he was. If you see an interview with him, he' a very kind , soft spoken Irish lad. Just a fantastic artist.
@@malmoran8643 South London born but adopted by Ireland as an Anglo-Irishman. If you know your Irish history, you’ll recall that Anglo-Norman settlers became more Irish than the ‘native’ Irish themselves. Given his prodigious acting gifts, perhaps he is the modern rendering of Ireland’s Anglo-Norman story.
Daniel Day Lewis is a genius , on a total higher level than any other actor past or present including talent like Brando. Brando had genius instincts as he had a very sensitive instrument but his laziness and contempt for the craft of acting resulted in not being able to actualize himself . However, Lewis is also a genius but extremely harder worker and disciplined, that’s why he is on such a higher level .
Daniel Day Lewis is definitely one of the best actors in recent history. Most of the really good ones seem to be British. Anthony Hopkins is probably my favorite, although he's getting pretty old. But I can't think of any actor currently working that is better. He can do such a wide variety of character types and that shows the true talent he possesses.
Daniel Day Lewis is a mystery of an actor. We know everything about all the great actors like Tom Hanks, Leo, Al Pacino etc because they are everywhere but DDL is the goat not many people nowadays know.
Daniel day Lewis as christy brown in My Left Foot is the greatest performance by any actor ever in my opinion, when you think he is a method actor it just makes it even more incredible.
I just bought "The Boxer" on your suggestion. Daniel Day-Lewis is by far the best actor I've known. He digs the history to get at the guts of a character.
DDL is a badass. He now lives somewhere in Wicklow Ireland and goes about life like a normal person. Best actor in the history of cinema who was never in a bad film and always gave tremendous performances.
The Boxing Coach who taught Daniel Day Lewis to box for the film the Boxer was also Conor McGregor's coach when he was a kid Philip Sutcliffe, I was a member of the same boxing club when I was a kid and Daniel trained hardcore for the roll we used to train with him.
Daniel Day Lewis and Gary Oldman are the greatest modern day movie actors. There are some other great actors out there as well but not quite on that level. People like Bale, Jackman, McConaughey and Pitt are all fantastic intense actors but not quite at that level. Jared Leto and Tom Hardy are fantastic intense movie actors but not quite at the level of Day Lewis and Oldman. The film roles simply are not there anymore for the younger actors to get a chance. Large budget action comic movies have taken over because the corporates find that easy money.
Daniel Day-Lewis was trained for 'The Boxer' by former world champion Barry Mcguigan. At the time, Barry says he could have banged with any Middleweight in the UK with the exception of perhaps the top three because of his exceptional dedication.
Joe you nailed it. I love Daniel Day Lewis as well, he’s by far better than the best of the American actors. He’s on his own level. I believe he is the character he portrays in every movie he does.
@@stevewilson5402 Saying "i could sit through Schindler's List" is proof of a bad taste in films. Clearly you could have picked his crap films like Jurassic park or his big budget sell out films but you chose schindlers list . Dude ughk,, it sucks sharing a country with shallow morons
Devin Michael Roberts I have to agree. Schindler's List was Slow, overhyped, inaccurate and Liam Neeson is a fair actor but totally miscast. And he's certainly nowhere near DDL. Neeson is a slightly cheesy "movie star." DD Lewis is an actor and a creator of characters in his own mind.
@@marcuswilson3485 Oh what rubbish. Schindler’s List is a near perfect film and Neeson’s performance was fantastic, critically praised and Oscar nominated. I hate people saying it was slow. Not all films are action movies and it’s good to have slow pacing to build, scenarios,characters and atmosphere. You don’t have to rush the plot all the the time.
@@radofficial4672 Yeah hes good but not in oldman and Lewis league. Imo. They literally become the characters . Total immersion . Anthony Hopkins is still Anthony Hopkins no matter what role he plays. Fantastic stage presence though.
@@RamonIce88 De niro in his youth definitely. But then he got stereotyped as a gangster and it was same old same old. Then he got into comedy and it was same old same old.

Remarkable Crumlin Dublin and thereabouts had and has successfull figures in fighting sports for a smallish ( perhapss tiny certainly by usa standards)area /population.Daniel Day Lewis should have movie/tv studios tailoring movies for him , I can gladly watch and enjoy semi mindless movies but like some engaging stuff from time to time like probably most folks

@cm. CG people that have zero life always find it hard to understand things happen in others life. Get out there man
A lot of Lincoln's dialog in the movie came directly from the massive biography on Abraham Lincoln by John Nicolay and John Hay. Nicolay and Hay were long time private secretaries to Lincoln who had been with him for many years of Lincoln's career, even before his presidency. In the movie "Lincoln", Hay was played by Joseph Cross and Nicolay was played by Jeremy Strong. They do not have many speaking parts in the movie but in nearly every scene with Lincoln meeting with his cabinet they can be seen in the background, listening and observing.
Yes, it is impossible to know precisely what Lincoln said word for word, but much of it was reconstructed based on that biography. And there were perhaps no two better people to write a bio on Lincoln than his longtime aides and secretaries John Hay and John Nicolay. In fact, just about every single biography ever written on Lincoln is pulling information from Nicolay and Hay's books.
Phantom thread was so good. Soundtrack was good, everything was good. I watched that yesterday and tonight I watched Lincoln. Both so good.
Modern Masterpiece
Was it good ?

He's amazing
I'd buy a pair of Daniel-Day-Loafers
That should be his company name
Daniel Day-Lewis and Gary Oldman... man... two of the precious few people who fit into that Brando bracket.
I don't think it's a stretch to say that he's the greatest living actor of the last 35 years!
"There will be blood" has the greatest performance by an actor of any movie I've seen that was MADE in my lifetime.
DDL is the greatest Actor of all time.. Dozens of amazing Actors and a lot of them are the best in their own unique way. But DDL is just the best Actor hands down. I don't think a lot of people have seen his film "My Left Foot" his performance is just next level.
@@Lyons_T-BAGI couldn’t agree more. He’s by far the greatest actor of all time.
William Defoe is also up there
Gary Oldman is good but not in DDL’s league. He’s also a bit of c**t and is on his fifth marriage which says a lot about him!
Day-Lewis’s acting range is incredibly broad, one of the most versatile actors in history.
arguably best actor of all time
No Marlon Brando is

Took a sec. You got me.
That's amazing 👏 lol
Worth a thumbing
You actually believe he's completely disabled in My Left Foot. A true story too. That was the 1st Day Lewis movie I saw and I still think it's the best acting I've ever seen from an actor. Just utterly stellar.
'"my left foot" is one of his best movies to me
The only person to win an Oscar for best Actor in a leading role......THREE TIMES
My Left Foot
There Will be Blood
Lincoln
Nicholson ?
Billy Mcneill 3 times, but twice as best actor(cuckoo’s nest, and as good as it gets) the other one was for supporting actor(terms of endearment)
But I can name ten Spielberg movies in alphabetical order. Lol
You just got that little tid-bit of information off of another UA-cam video. His acceptance speech
Kwenz Landah except If you ask anyone who knows movies they’ll tell you he’s the greatest of all time so
People never give his role in "The Crucible" any love! His "It is my name!" scene is incredible.
Putting Daniel Day-Lewis a classic play, guaranteed dynamite
Agreed. Goosebumps.
during the last of the mohicans he actually trained to be able to shoot from a long distance for real. In the movie "the crucible" he made his own shack and lived in it so he could be immersed in that world. he is just on another level.
His P.T Anderson collaborations were just sublime pieces of film, just pure artistry in the acting, direction and cinematography.
Probably greatest actor I've seen in my lifetime and you don't even know it's Daniel when he in character because he that good
He lives in ireland now. My favourite movie is in the name of the father.
He’s from Ireland.
mad mick he was born and bred in London but I think he lives in ireland
His best film is my left foot

To each his own but in my opinion al pacino is the best living actor and ever for that matter.ddl is amazing tho
Jack Nicholson is the best in my opinion.
absolutely
Talking about shoes!...My left foot. Is one of Daniels most amazing roles.
Joe “Jamie turn that up; Oh we have to turn it down because UA-cam?” Rogan
Dylan Wright 😂😂😂
There will be blood is for me the greatest acting I’ve ever seen.
It felt like you saw the obsessive greed and need for more that drives some people.
Some people are so far ahead of other people already at the top of their professions it’s incredible.
Daniel Day Lewis is one of them.
This is the first time in many months that this joke format has actually made me laugh 👍
lmao he does that every single time
“I wonder if he makes shoes for people?” - Joe Rogan
I believe he works exclusively with ducks and llamas
He means that if DDL makes shoes not only for himself
Cool to have a pair of shoes made by one of the greatest actors of all time, maybe the greatest
It’s joe “I wonder if he makes shoes for people” rogan
@@AlejandroGomez-rp9vp the greatest actor of all time
@@sheikyerbouti83 I think he means deities.
DDL outshines everyone in almost all his films. I think one co-star that closes on matching his performance is Sally Field in Lincoln. But Sally is also a method actor. She was great in that movie. Another good one is Winona in the Crucible considering how young she was, her performance was really impressive.
winona is super good in everything
DDL in "There Will be Blood" is definitely the best acting I've ever seen.
Daniel Day doesn't stay in character all the time during filming, he keeps the voice and mannerisms but mentally he switches in and out of the character like a professional actor. People who do method acting can take it too far being a jerk on set (Dustin Hoffman) but real method actors commit to the part without abusing/confusing people and holding up production.
But seriously, get Daniel Day on the show. He'd probably be very amused by talking someone drastically different than him like Joe.
Amazing Daniel Day, Christian Bale, Tom Hardy, Al Pachino those guys who still use method acting are the most dedicated to the craft and in my opinion give the most amazing performances but Daniel Day cant be out matched
@@horror_fam0847 Christian Bale is seriously underrated. People think Batman and not the prestige etc
@@Blackhawk211 the most underrated movie that I really enjoyed that barley gets any recognition The Machinist and American Psycho both both roles he physically changed and gave some of the most haunting performances
I read that Daniel Day Lewis when playing the role of a paralysed man in My left foot, he method acted being paralysed throughout the production and that he had to be moved around in a wheelchair, lifted over things and even fed by the crew. Sounds like a pain if you ask me.
He did it once, forced people to carry him in a wheel chair. But there was a reason, he wanted to feel the shame of people hating to carry him around, and used that emotion on screen.
Guys he hasn’t retired, he’s just balls deep in research for his next film where he plays a cobbler.
Still waiting on The Cobbler to come out 🙁
Daniel Day Lewis is arguably the best film actor on the planet. He is a crazy good talent.
I truly believe Gangs of New York is one of the the best films of all time. Daniel Day Lewis truly created a character that you felt uncomfortable and fearful watching. And DiCaprio - despite him getting shat on for being outshined by Lewis - really was outstanding as well, because his acting is what made Bill the Butcher feel so eerily terrifying. You could just feel his fearful hate of Bill the Butcher; he created a character most of us can relate to - feeling as though he must avenge his Father, yet also knowing he’s up against a bad mf. Then the way the director subtly implied that Bill the Butcher was a step ahead of Leo… so we were always unsure if Leo was going to succeed or not. Just a fantastic movie, and that closing scene was an all time epic.
Well said friend. That closing scene dropped my jaw. That did more than leave a memory, it etched something deep into the psyche and our collective folk memory.
mate relax, but its a terrible film. The accents are woeful. No flow, wooden acting, and just a generally shit film.
Apparently he stayed in character the whole duration of filming even off set.....Liam neeson said it was total dedication
Daniel Day- Lewis is one of the best actors ever.
Daniel Day Lewis is a straight-up chameleon.
That's what my pop always called him!
the first time i saw gangs of new york i didnt know its him
E F he should be the chameleon in spider-man
Gangs of New York is such an underrated movie and DDL as Bill the Butcher was absolutely brilliant. Daniel is definitely on the Mt Rushmore of acting. I've never seen him be anything other than amazing in every role
Mr. Lewis has been my favorite actor since the first time i saw his craft. The word "Actor", isn't enough.
Last of the mohicans..... he lived in the woods for months.
So do Deer but you don't hear them bragging
@@michaeljohnson6510 savage
He doesn't really brag about anything he does, but the Hollywood publicity machine uses it to entice moviegoers.
bloodnchocolate its ok sir....the joke missed your head by 15 feet
@@saintniccage2818 I can tell a joke when I see it, but I think it also carries the seed of a certain misconception about Lewis which I've seen repeated all over, which is that he's this braggart that uses his dedication specifically for external admiration, a snobbish badge of honor. He's been known to discuss his craft when asked, but never in the way that it's used by studios as a drawing point, and it tends to get blown to a proportion that the dude's not really comfortable with, as he's actually more of an introvert.
So yeah, excuuuuuuuuuuuse me, princess.
The one reason DDL doesn’t do media or cultivate attention: he doesn’t need to. You can interpret this a million ways, they’re all correct.
There will be blood, the benchmark in acting. His performance is out of this world, he is a real artist in every way.
I didn’t care much for Gangs of New York as a movie, but Day-Lewis as Bill the Butcher was so amazing to watch.
I've watched it about 30 times and I'd tend to agree with you. DDL is the reason I watch it, not because of the film itself.
I think the film is great due to the fact that that was really going on in what today is China town in NYC. I remember walking down a road and there was an intersection and my friend was like "this is the historic five points" I went full nerd mode.
Harvey Weinstein slighty "butchered" the film with his handsy approach. I really wish Scorsese could make his true cut.
Daniel Day Lewis is a once in a generation or two kind of talent. And he is such a diminutive and humble soul that explodes on the camera with a force that can never be contained. There is a reason he is the best actor in the world.
Leonardo Da Vinci
DDL rejected the following roles all of which he was first choice for
1. Lestat - Interview With the Vampire ( Tom Cruise accepted the role )
2. Salvatore Giuliano - The Sicilian ( Christopher Lambert accepted the role )
3. Simon Templar - The Saint ( Val Kilmer accepted the role )
4. Almasy - The English Patient ( Ralph Fiennes accepted the role )
And finally
5. Vincent Vega - Pulp Fiction ( John Travolta accepted the role )
Had DDL accepted No 5 would Travolta have had such a comeback that he did for 8-10 years
Interesting facts!
Last of the Mohicans is one of my all time favourite movies and I still cry like a baby when I watch it,.
Daniel Day Lewis doesn't make shoes, he makes Left Shoes. For his left foot.
On point..
Lol

Awesome program that was.
Weak , Christy had two feet .
You are missing maybe his best role...In The Name of The Father, you should see that...a master piece.
u pravu si Miljane!! 😎
Davor Fištrović hvala...drago mi je da se još neko seća tog fenomenalnog filma i ceni njegovu maestralnu ulogu.
His best performance 🎭
And his best performance was in "My Left Foot"
@@lll-qr4yu mmm...that's second on my list.
There will be Blood was a weird , fantastic film and DDL was just unforgettable. I saw it at the theater and couldn't stop thinking about how brilliant and volatile he was. If you see an interview with him, he' a very kind , soft spoken Irish lad. Just a fantastic artist.
Just not a fan of it, though not against DDL.
He's not Irish lad .
@@malmoran8643
South London born but adopted by Ireland as an Anglo-Irishman. If you know your Irish history, you’ll recall that Anglo-Norman settlers became more Irish than the ‘native’ Irish themselves. Given his prodigious acting gifts, perhaps he is the modern rendering of Ireland’s Anglo-Norman story.
I’m sorry DDL his acting scares me
Ddl was scary fuck in twbb
Daniel Day Lewis is a genius , on a total higher level than any other actor past or present including talent like Brando. Brando had genius instincts as he had a very sensitive instrument but his laziness and contempt for the craft of acting resulted in not being able to actualize himself . However, Lewis is also a genius but extremely harder worker and disciplined, that’s why he is on such a higher level .
Daniel Day Lewis is definitely one of the best actors in recent history. Most of the really good ones seem to be British. Anthony Hopkins is probably my favorite, although he's getting pretty old. But I can't think of any actor currently working that is better. He can do such a wide variety of character types and that shows the true talent he possesses.
also christian bale and gary oldman
Leo?
@@Blackhawk211 And Andrew Lincoln.
Loved how Joe still refers to Mark Wahlberg as "Marky Mark"
Daniel Day Lewis is one of the greatest actors of our time.
One of my favourite films was “in the name of the Father”
The picture of Daniel day Lewis on a subway in NY using a flip phone from a year or 2 ago is the most Daniel day Lewis thing ever
go watch "in the name of the father". you can thank me later.
Can i thank you now?
amazing movie. One of my favourite daniel day lewis movies
Cool thx
“He’s a cobbler” That’s such a Daniel Day Lewis move!!!!
Daniel Day Lewis is a mystery of an actor. We know everything about all the great actors like Tom Hanks, Leo, Al Pacino etc because they are everywhere but DDL is the goat not many people nowadays know.
Lol do not put Leo up there with those guys. Dude just knows how to scream in every movie
@@Jay23445 this dude is a fantastic actor
Stop hate
In The Name Of The Father,another great DDL performance.
And my left foot
antoeire1916 true true but me being from Belfast,In The Name Of The Father hits the heart
Right? Everyone seems to be forgetting on that movie. One Of my favorite DDL performances for sure!
Every movie he has done is a great performance its just ranking them properly haha GOAT for sure
Daniel Day Lewis would easily be the best podcast of all time. I doubt he’d do it but man that’d be amazing.
Daniel day Lewis as christy brown in My Left Foot is the greatest performance by any actor ever in my opinion, when you think he is a method actor it just makes it even more incredible.
Daniel Day Lewis is the best Actor alive; only coupled with Gary Oldman. These two are the Masters of creating art in the form of acting.
We need Daniel Day Lewis on the podcast
Never happen.
Joe "Bastard in a basket" Rogan
Rocky Irish such a golden line in that movie
Haha :)
hahaha brilliant
I just bought "The Boxer" on your suggestion. Daniel Day-Lewis is by far the best actor I've known. He digs the history to get at the guts of a character.
Just talking about Daniel Day Lewis is more interesting than this guest.
Best movie he done , there will be blood
Give me the blood, Lord!
The reality is he's brilliant in all his movies. There's no clear-cut winner so to speak.
DDL is a badass. He now lives somewhere in Wicklow Ireland and goes about life like a normal person. Best actor in the history of cinema who was never in a bad film and always gave tremendous performances.
I once met Daniel Day-Lewis in a doctor's waiting room in Wicklow when I was 5. True story.
The Boxing Coach who taught Daniel Day Lewis to box for the film the Boxer was also Conor McGregor's coach when he was a kid Philip Sutcliffe, I was a member of the same boxing club when I was a kid and Daniel trained hardcore for the roll we used to train with him.
Daniel Day Lewis and Gary Oldman are the greatest modern day movie actors. There are some other great actors out there as well but not quite on that level.
People like Bale, Jackman, McConaughey and Pitt are all fantastic intense actors but not quite at that level. Jared Leto
and Tom Hardy are fantastic intense movie actors but not quite at the level of Day Lewis and Oldman.
The film roles simply are not there anymore for the younger actors to get a chance. Large budget action comic movies have taken over because the corporates find that easy money.
Leo's pretty good too
@@victorvelie3980 leo is so damn overrater. He's also a massive hypocrite
Joaquin Phoenix. One of the best working today.
bighand69 Oldman doesn’t belong in the same sentence with Day Lewis.
@@BigBoss7777777 shut up you dumbfuck
He’s a method actor. He dives right in, he becomes the character. He’s truly mastered his craft. He’s absolutely incredible at his craft.
Daniel Day-Lewis was trained for 'The Boxer' by former world champion Barry Mcguigan. At the time, Barry says he could have banged with any Middleweight in the UK with the exception of perhaps the top three because of his exceptional dedication.
Joe you nailed it. I love Daniel Day Lewis as well, he’s by far better than the best of the American actors. He’s on his own level. I believe he is the character he portrays in every movie he does.
Gangs of New York was incredible! Daniel Day Lewis Outshone Leo big time.
Leo was just playing another variation of Leo. Daniel is astounding different in every role.
Leo drops his accent so many times in that movie and only brings it back when he has a scene with DDL.
Lincoln wasn't slow.. it was amazing. .I've watched it 10 times and it never gets old.
Even by Spielberg standards, it was slow. I could sit through Schindler's List. Munich was good. War Horse was okay.
@@stevewilson5402 Saying "i could sit through Schindler's List" is proof of a bad taste in films. Clearly you could have picked his crap films like Jurassic park or his big budget sell out films but you chose schindlers list . Dude ughk,, it sucks sharing a country with shallow morons
Devin Michael Roberts Jurassic Park is iconic
Devin Michael Roberts I have to agree. Schindler's List was Slow, overhyped, inaccurate and Liam Neeson is a fair actor but totally miscast. And he's certainly nowhere near DDL. Neeson is a slightly cheesy "movie star." DD Lewis is an actor and a creator of characters in his own mind.
@@marcuswilson3485 Oh what rubbish. Schindler’s List is a near perfect film and Neeson’s performance was fantastic, critically praised and Oscar nominated. I hate people saying it was slow. Not all films are action movies and it’s good to have slow pacing to build, scenarios,characters and atmosphere. You don’t have to rush the plot all the the time.
Haha, the impression by Joe on a reporter of E-fuckery is just hilarious. That cracked me up. It's also so true!
I clicked this knowing it was just gonna be Joe going “he’s phenomenal” 😂😂
Daniel Day Lewis and Gary Oldman.
The 2 best actors of my generation .
There's nobody else who even comes close imo
Sir Anthony Hopkins ?
@@radofficial4672 Yeah hes good but not in oldman and Lewis league. Imo.
They literally become the characters . Total immersion .
Anthony Hopkins is still Anthony Hopkins no matter what role he plays. Fantastic stage presence though.
De Niro?
@@RamonIce88 De niro in his youth definitely. But then he got stereotyped as a gangster and it was same old same old. Then he got into comedy and it was same old same old.
And no matter what character he plays hes still recognisable as de niro.
My idea of a good actor is one who can literally morph in to a character. Method acting
Gary Oldman in Leon though. Incredible.
