It would not surprise me if my 51-year-old female secretary one day peeled off her face and announced that she is actually Daniel Day Lewis in character at our office for the past two years.
My brother has cerebal palsy and its one of his favorite movies. When I was a kid, i thought the actual actor had CP because he reminded me so much of my brother.
Yes but in the context of the film Plainview is performing in the church too he's not really repentant he just went because the man whose land he wants told him to go and knew he had shot the guy pretending to be his brother so he figures okay I'll go to church if that will please the community and then the preachers sister Mary marries H.W. also.
No matter how many times you watch Daniel Day-Lewis’s films, he astonishes and amazes you every time. He’s perfect in every role. Love him. His last role in “Phantom Thread” is just the icing on the cake of a remarkable career. He’s given us a lot, but still I’ll miss him. Thank you, Daniel!
Best actor of my generation imo. Not only can pull of accents off so well and morph into a complete variety of convincing characters, his visual appearances are amazing. I've never seen an actor look so different visually in so many roles, sometimes it's hard to identify that it's Daniel Day Lewis. He completely evolves into a different character, he could of been the worlds best spy.
daniel day-lewis I disagree, I personally find that he over acts a lot and is too much like a stage actor and not enough like a movie actor. He often lacks any kind of subtlety/ This is not to say he is a bad actor, he is fantastic. But certainly not the best in my book
I remember watching 'there will be blood' and not even knowing the actors name.. and being so shocked it was Lewis... so amazing.. I fell in love. powerful stuff.

I love DDL's work so much!! Whata brilliant actor!! even if all of his performances are extraordinary I keep a special place in my heart for Christie Brown...he made him look so real and humain ... just breathtaking!!
Daniel is the Best of the Best! I could watch his movies over and over again. He puts his heart and soul into every project that comes his way. A Godbgiven talent and movie goers are blessed to experience his movies.
With no equal....this man has changed lives. I believed in him when I was a young man and I believe in him still. I often said if Abraham Lincoln were alive today......there is not one person that could portray his thoughts, his moods his.... everything better than this man. Thank you for being all that we wish we were.....I can't stop watching your craft....
You really know how great and deserving an actor is for winning an Oscar when all the actors nominated smile the biggest smile and applaud before everyone else. Exactly what happened when Day Lewis won for My Left Foot
@@allaboutlife2837 Brando, de niro and al Pacino always gets mentioned as some of the greats only because they do gangster films. Most films they do they’re the same character. They don’t even have the same diversification as DDL. They’re more like peoples favourites just because of that, they’re good yeah, but nowhere near as good as DDL
@@silence1994 Brando also did other diversified characters with realism , but after 1960s Brando became lazy and didn't care much about characters and acting stuff , instead of that he was great in most of his movies . But de Niro, Pacino, Hoffman,ddl all these actor were hard working person and very serious about characters and acting.
@@silence1994 No bro I love DDL but Brando didn't do just Gangster roles, HE played Stanley Kowalski and Terry Maloy, Vito Corleone, Mark Antony, Major Llyod Gruver. BRANDO AND DDL PUT TOE-TO-TOE IN TERMS OF THEIR ACTING SKIILS AND TALENT.
I loved every single movie you were in. An actor such as yourself should go on and on and not have money or awards stop what is your life's heartbeat and blood. Please come back to us.
After watching ‘My Beautiful Launderette’ and ‘A Room With a View’ I then saw ‘My Left Foot’ and felt, already, he was the best actor ever. With every subsequent film, but especially’In the Name of the Father’, ‘Gangs of New York’, ‘There Will Be Blood’, and ‘Lincoln’, he’s just proved the point. There really can’t be any question about it. There’s no other actor comes close to his total inhabitation of such a variety of complex characters.
So true, i cant believe he didnt get an Oscar for "Bill the Butcher" but it doesnt matter even without an Oscar he will go down in history for that great performance in that brilliant film!
Talons of the Raven Lost to Adrien Brody of the Pianist. I've never seen it, but I always like to know who won just before I say he should've won. Mainly because of one thing. I felt Robin Williams deserved the Oscar for Dead Poets Society. The person he ended up losing to was Daniel Day-Lewis for My Left Foot. Only one guy can win the Oscar. That's truly the greatest tragedy.
@Stephen Yea, but just because a guy don't get some crappy statue doesn't mean anything. The performance won our hearts and that's worth more than any Oscar!
Bill the Butcher...Daniel Plainfield...Lincoln....Hard to find another actor living or dead who had a more impressive Top 3 performances than this...Absolutely amazing work
So sad that he just retired! His last film "Phantom Thread" is directed by Paul Thomas Anderson and will be released in December 2017. I'm buying a ticket to see it in theaters for sure.
Taking into account the monstrosity he delivered in my left foot , Id say it was an honour for robin, cruise and freeman to have been nominated along with him that year.
What did I just see? OMG THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS TRIBUTE. I love Daniel Day-Lewis, I love his talent as the greatest actor of this era and I am platonically in love with him as a man, because he's so gorgeous, humble and deep. What a beautiful tribute!
I remember watching the crucible in high school and watching DDL made that movie watchable even though I had no idea who he was. He seemingly steals the spotlight in every movie he’s casted.
In an interview he says he reads books on the times of the characters he plays, their literature, accents and history. He stays in character until the film is over. He is truly an extraordinary actor. He is a very intelligent man. Amazing
He disappears in every role he's played. I almost can't recognize him to the next character he plays. You would never guess the character he plays in Gangs of New York and There will be blood is the same actor in 6:37
you have created legends of mutual respect and admiration especially your role in the last of mohicans where you honour the sufferings of the braves who lost war but not their dignity.

For such a striking man he has an uncanny ability to create every character from a clean slate with nothing of himself showing. And it's not just accent, mannerism, appearance.

He did what an actor was supposed to do. Adapt to the character you have been selected to portray, not like most hollywood actors and actresses these days that just look like themselves the wholetime in almost every movie with the same voice. I understand it can be hard but they get paid top dollar.
Whoa, without context the Room With a View scene makes me feel very sympathetic to Cecil. I usually just focus on Lucy but this kinda shifted my perspective. Neat!

Hahaha👍👍👍👍
He could play any one of us better than we could play ourselves. He could figure out to become each and every one of us.
A very interesting notion.
Stephen Cogan he could make it more enjoyable for the screen but nobody can play you better than you
That's funny. Might even be true too. Certainly would make a more interesting version of us I'm sure.
I really
Enjoyed this idea,
We’re all characters anywho
every character is so fucking different! How can one man be so good. He's honestly the great actor ever man. Jesus.
Exactly! Its like he's a different person each time.
He the greatest actor of all time
If you Say that 🤷🏿♀️
You never see Daniel Day Lewis in any of his films, all you see is the character he`s playing. That is the true hallmark of an astounding actor
Yeah!
His performance in My Left Foot alone is reason enough for him to be considered one of the greatest actors ever
Yep. He became that character. I bet you that while they were shooting, he never stopped being that character until the director said that's a rap.
My brother has cerebal palsy and its one of his favorite movies. When I was a kid, i thought the actual actor had CP because he reminded me so much of my brother.
@dreamx3mlegend means until the movie end

@@Ares14 I would have thought that too. I've only ever seen Mohicans...so wow. I broke down completely during that scenes.

Daniel Day Lewis the guy who threw a knife in the Lincoln poster. After years he becomes Lincoln himself :)
For real.

@@maltesefalcon4221 a good proof that gives us the woke generation to be more consistent :)
You either die a hero or live long enough to see yourself become Lincoln
That scene he did with Paul dano at the start was something out of this world the intensity of both was compelling the greatest ever
Paul Dano pulled that character off with only days to prepare.
