The way the movie built up the tension in that scene was incredible. I have kind of mixed feelings about Tarantino's movies, but the way he knows how to build and release tension has been absolutely the best in this centurym
Yeah, I remember this scene and the opening scene, but especially this one - the entire theater didn't even breathe. You could hear a pin drop, the tension was just so palpable. And you had to respect Tarantino as a director and writer here - because really it's just people sitting in a pub talking and it's done so well, you're biting your nails. Great acting too.
Yes. There are tons of wonderful actors but only a select few can actually elevate a movies quality based on their presence alone. He’s absolutely one of them. Apocalypse is pretty much as mediocre as superhero movies get but some of his scenes fool you into thinking we’re watching a solid character drama
He’s too modest. You can ABSOLUTELY tell that he altered his acting in Days of Future Past to better match McKellen. Whenever an actor can keep their version of a character while simultaneously matching someone else’s performance of said same character, it really is amazing.
Its a shock they skipped over Alien: Covenant because he absolutely carried that film, his performance was so mesmerising and watching him play off of himself playing Walter and David was amazing with the sort of philosophical discussions they had, movie is hella flawed, but he was incredibly phenomenal in it.
To this day, I'm hoping David's grand scheme gets a proper conclusion that bridges the gap to the original Alien. Unfortunately a sequel to Covenant feels unlikely and we'll have to settle with Romulus instead.
@@robcain8865 umm someone already filmed something in Hungary regarding an Alien film... I think they finished before the strike... but even if they are still filming, something is definitely in production.
He's one of the best actors of his generation and the fact that he doesn't have at least one Oscar under his belt is beyond me but I'm glad he's focusing more on racing these days since he's so passionate about it.
@@naturestillness Yeah Oscar doesn't mean anything, you can have the best performance, say something that Hollywood doesn't like, and not even get nominated. Hollywood rewards who they want to reward.
The video is 17 minutes long, but it went by really quickly. He's one of those people who could read the phone book and make it compelling, so when he goes into so much detail in his performances, it's just fascinating to listen.
As much as Mckellen laid the foundation for the character of Magneto I feel like Fassbander defined it. He was absolutely riveting in his performance. He really brought a sense of gravitas to the role. He was so awesome as Magneto. I loved his chemistry with Mcavoy.
The scene where he moves the satellite dish....WOW!! I wasn't a massive fan of First Class overall but Fassbender is flawless in it. I wish the movie was deserving of his performance.
He brought a kind of intensity and ferocity to young Magneto that worked really well. It's easy to see Fassbender's Magneto mellowing out with age and bitterness into McKellen's portrayal.
I just realized how much of his acting is his unique voice. Most of the time he's cast as the calm and cool-headed (sometimes menacing) characters, but the way he voice each one really makes them distinct.
He was one of the few actors in any Shakespeare adaptation that didn't seem like he was simply reciting the lines. He put such powerful energy into that character. As he does with every character he plays.
I'll always be drawn to these reflective and introvert actors. They put so much thought in their acting, it's almost as if the acting was just a consequence of the thought they put in before the cameras started to roll.
He was magnetic in Inglorious Basterds (pun intended 🙃) but he instantly became one of my favorite actors in 12 Years a Slave. He was so despicable and perfect in that role!
That was heyday of cable. HBO in 2001? No streaming services. Every actor or actress was who wanted to be on screen was trying out. The best of the best
Because of Saving Private Ryan. Cast was stacked there too. Then when people heard a WWII series was coming everyone had to be part of it. Another movie with a stacked cast, Black Hawk Down. But Brothers was crazy
Its amazing that actors that had small roles in Band in Brothers are superstars now more than the main cast. Like Fassbender, Simon Pegg, James McAvoy, Tom Hardy to name a few
@@kb4903 so glad you brought this up, it is extremely important that we clarify whether or not Simon Pegg is a superstar OR just an extremely successful & extremely famous actor. i know what you're thinking - maybe its just semantics - but don't worry, it was absolutely worth pointing out
@@indiarael1134 yes! I know that not everyone watches period dramas, but still. He was great in that role and it deserved to be included. He brought a different side to Rochester and the movie is so beautiful! It’s so sad that they didn’t feel like it deserved to be included.
One of my favourite actors of all time. Magneto and David are my favourite roles of his. Two vastly different characters yet somewhat similar. Two outsiders on different paths, one you can feel sorry for and one who you can be terrified of
M. Fassbender is one of today's best actors. Two films, not included, but I felt were fine versions of the many, and in which he gave distinction to, are 2011's 'Jane Eyre', and 2015's 'Macbeth'.
Incredibly versatile actor, not always comfortable to watch but so true and honest when he plays a part. Like him even more after this intelligent and interesting breakdown of his career, he's so down to earth in person.
That he says they wrote him "a sweet response" about his Pearl Harbor audition means a lot. Nobody -- especially a nobody -- ever hears back if they aren't cast. Usually their agent will fluff with, "They went another way." Getting a note really speaks to his talent.
Prometheus wasn't the perfect movie we were hoping for, but we can't deny his acting on it was absolutely brilliant. I rewatched it many times just because of his portrayal of david. He really carried the movie.
He's such a humble guy, talking about his directors instead of focusing solely on his own performances. My favorite of his films is The Light Between Oceans with his (then future) wife Alicia Vikander. Both wonderful actors!
Wonderful to hear his explanations for each of the memorable characters that he has played. Something about the way he objectively goes into the details that went to each of his characters. Riveted listening to him.
I'm glad someone praised that film and his performance in it. It's definitely not a movie for everyone. One of the most intense horror films I've seen with a bleak and tragic ending.
I'm not exaggerating when I'm saying that by my opinon Fassbender is our generation equivalent of Jack Nicholson performer. Can't wait for his leading role Oscar speeach one of this days.
Genuinely one of the greatest actors of all time. Everything I see him in is absolutely captivating. He is the reason why people watch movies, he transports you into another world and lives his characters.
This guy will hopefully stick around & get an Oscar nod in the future. A bold gutsy terrific actor, always an intense prescence in a variety of roles/films.
His performance in Prometheus was incredible. He played a humanoid robot so well to me, almost really made you believe he wasn’t real yet real at the same time. I wasn’t a fan of Covenant’s story but he was great in that too.
As David in Covenant and as Connor in Fish Tank. two of my favourites roles of his! Such a great actor! Edied to add Steve Jobs, he was great in that role!
superbly underated actor......................he had me the opening scene of Centurion ......................and has only gotten better and that was tough to do! Centurion is my all time favorite of his films, thank you................................
I'm not surprised they didn't include it, because it wasn't a pivotal moment in his career and it's not particularly famous, but one of my favorite films and favorite Fassbender performances is in Fish Tank.
"magneto just needs a hug" understatement of the entire xmen franchise
😂My X men
Yes!!! I loved this!!!
I wonder who Marvel will cast next as Magneto…
@@joseabreu-nn5cu taron edgerton, job done

The bar scene in Inglorious Basterds is ICONIC.
So is the bar scene in X-Men: First Class. I guess he's just great in bar scenes.
The way the movie built up the tension in that scene was incredible. I have kind of mixed feelings about Tarantino's movies, but the way he knows how to build and release tension has been absolutely the best in this centurym

One of the few actors working today that elevates any film he's in.
Yes. There are tons of wonderful actors but only a select few can actually elevate a movies quality based on their presence alone. He’s absolutely one of them. Apocalypse is pretty much as mediocre as superhero movies get but some of his scenes fool you into thinking we’re watching a solid character drama
The Snowman and Assassin's Creed would dispute that
@@goodfella1401lol. yeah...maybe these two NO ONE could elevate :D
Agreed! X-Men Apocalypse was a crazy terrible movie yet Fassbender gives an Oscar worthy performance.
Apt comment. I’ve always thought that, he is absolutely the best part of any film he’s in
He’s too modest.
You can ABSOLUTELY tell that he altered his acting in Days of Future Past to better match McKellen.
Whenever an actor can keep their version of a character while simultaneously matching someone else’s performance of said same character, it really is amazing.
Well he was a little more focused. In First Class his Irish accent slipped out a lot in the finale.
It’s really not amazing. That’s his job 🤡
@@SintoCarrera It is amazing. And he's doing an amazing job at it, sweetheart xoxo
@@DefenestrateYourself the only thing Fassbender is amazing at is beating women
@@SintoCarrera so people who excel at their jobs shouldn’t be recognized? That’s how you get people who lack passion in their careers.

I agree. I think that the movie is not that flawed thou.
To this day, I'm hoping David's grand scheme gets a proper conclusion that bridges the gap to the original Alien.

He also carried apocalypse and dark Phoenix

but that Asian movie whose name I forgot, wait, Parasite? I guess so, Parasite. not so bad, but It received 5 Oscars. sure. why not 10?
Same with MacAvoy
The fact that he's not only into heavy metal, but played in a heavy metal band has piqued my appreciation for this guy
Aaaand… he can bend heavy metal toohahaha jk
I think it's piqued**

Makes sense. There’s a lot more theatre to that stuff than people realize.
The video is 17 minutes long, but it went by really quickly. He's one of those people who could read the phone book and make it compelling, so when he goes into so much detail in his performances, it's just fascinating to listen.
Could easily be 2 hours
Well because he has amazing filmography that he talked like 1-2 minutes for most of them lol. Dude is one of the best lead actor in Hollywood easily.
@keepitsecret-dl1pr At this point, I'm so used to UA-cam ads they barely register for me.
Honestly had no idea how long the video was until i read your comment. He simply has a delightful effect.
How short is your attention span? lol
He should have won an Oscar for SHAME full stop.
W comment
YES!!!!
Not really. He was expertly cast and directed, and his acting was probably the best of his career. But he’s not Daniel Day Lewis.
Yep, I really felt that shame through the screen
100%
Would have been interesting to see him play Bond or even a Bond villain
I think he'd make a better villain than as Bond himself. He can channel some masterfully evil moments.
He still can be a Bond villain
Ideal for a Bond villain
With that smile, definitely a Bond Villain.
I always thought he would have been an excellent bond.
As much as Mckellen laid the foundation for the character of Magneto I feel like Fassbander defined it. He was absolutely riveting in his performance. He really brought a sense of gravitas to the role. He was so awesome as Magneto. I loved his chemistry with Mcavoy.
It helps that they are friends in life. Also agreed he was great in the role for sure.
McKellen was far better with his campy version, Fassbender's wasn't as well handled, not necessarily all his fault
Magento still describes the character pretty well haha
The scene where he moves the satellite dish....WOW!! I wasn't a massive fan of First Class overall but Fassbender is flawless in it. I wish the movie was deserving of his performance.

I just realized how much of his acting is his unique voice. Most of the time he's cast as the calm and cool-headed (sometimes menacing) characters, but the way he voice each one really makes them distinct.
I noticed his natural voice sounds more like Walter than David in Alien: Covenant, too.
His daddy voice is such a turn on🥵
Such an underrated actor. He should have won an Oscar by now, he's amazing.
The atmosphere and facial expressions of the movie “Shame” were so amazing that they were overwhelming.
He was brilliant in Macbeth (2015). Underrated adaptation.
YES i'd forgotten about that
Agreed!
Love that film
He was one of the few actors in any Shakespeare adaptation that didn't seem like he was simply reciting the lines. He put such powerful energy into that character. As he does with every character he plays.
Wow Fassbender seems like a really modest and humble dude. Really makes me appreciate him even more!
I'll always be drawn to these reflective and introvert actors. They put so much thought in their acting, it's almost as if the acting was just a consequence of the thought they put in before the cameras started to roll.
One of the top best actors of today in everything he's in. I'm glad he's back with some new movies.
“The core of it is “magneto just needs a hug””. Exactly what we all think.
So glad you talked about Frank, one of my fav performances by him.
It's fantastic ❤
Never heard of most of these movies outside of the box office hits but Frank stuck out to me the most. Does it hold up?
I'd forgotten about it, such a great film though.
CHINCHILLAAAAA
Came here for Frank
Its a shame they missed off Fish Tank, such a great film, Fassbender and the whole cast are sublime.
Shame is a masterpiece!
Yes, great movie
Exceptional movie that one
Came here to hear him talk about Fish Tank
Fish tank = yet another incredible film
Yes!!! Loved loved loved Fish Tank!
Gosh his voice is like melting chocolate 🫠
Im Irish and knew it the moment I heard his natural speaking voice that he was :)
his voice would be perfect for narrating a documentary
He's had a brilliant career with some of the best performances in the last two decades.
He was magnetic in Inglorious Basterds (pun intended 🙃) but he instantly became one of my favorite actors in 12 Years a Slave. He was so despicable and perfect in that role!
Band of Brothers had so many unknown actors who would later become famous, rewatch it, it's crazy.

Because of Saving Private Ryan. Cast was stacked there too. Then when people heard a WWII series was coming everyone had to be part of it. Another movie with a stacked cast, Black Hawk Down. But Brothers was crazy
Shocked me when James McAvoy appeared for a single episode only
There are two Michaels that should've won Oscar imo
Shannon and Fassbender.
I love Michael's accent, it's just so smooth and charming, like him! Magneto is certainly the role that put him on the map, next to Hunger.
He got kind eyes too

Gifted actor. dont forget Alien Covenant and Prometheus, in which he carries the entire movie almost singlehandedly, especially Covenant!

"The Light Between Oceans" is so underrated.
Agree. It's a masterpiece.
hes so underrated within the industry
hope he gets a lot more big roles before he retires
Really Surprised they didn't include Macbeth. He was EXCELLENT in that movie.
I am taken aback by how he talks in this video. One of my favorite actors to talk about his career on youtube
He's such a solid actor and willing to try all genres. Much respect. Eden Lake was terrific as well.
I remember seeing him in Hunger and leaving the cinema mesmerized. I’ve watched everything he’s in ever since.
The Snowman?
He could have been such a great bond when he was younger
Could still do it IMO
He’s 46. Not a bad age for Bond
i just noticed myself ive finished watching the whole ofthis without skipping. fassbender just delighting in this interview
Genuinely one of the greatest actors of all time. Everything I see him in is absolutely captivating. He is the reason why people watch movies, he transports you into another world and lives his characters.
Should have won an Oscar for Steve Jobs.
One of the best films ever and a breathtaking performance!
Yes.
What a beautiful human... creative, talented, eloquent, and gorgeous.
Crazy how many great actors Hollywood has been gifted. Fassbender is one of the greats.
He is absolutely magnificent. He just has a face that is capable of expressing so much.
My absolute favorite actor on earth.. just a badass
I just watched next goal wins and I loved it. Even though it’s new, it gave me so much nostalgia for those classic Disney sports movies.
Such an awesome actor..... seeing him get essentially a Magneto origin story was really cool...... wish we could see a full movie of that :)
He was my favorite character in the X-men.
Him and James McAvoy stole every scene. No one compared to them in those films.
Just sucks how bad Apocalypse and Dark Phoenix were
I can't believe I'm only now learning he was in "300". That scene is iconic and it's so noticeable.
Not surprisingly that he has the best line in the film, "Then we will fight in the shade....."
Still think his performance for Andrea Arnold’s Fish Tank is worth mentioning more than few others)) Shame was great and Hunger too
Would have loved to hear him speak about Jane Eyre
Absolutely one of my favorite actors of all time. He just clearly needs a better agent, because he just does not get the roles he should get.
One thing sure about Fassbender: Dude really knows how to make AWESOME bar scenes
My first movie with him was Centurion back in 2010, been a fan ever since
Ooohhh I adore that movie!!
That's one of my favourite action movies!!
One of the best active actors alongside with Bale, Dicaprio, Gyllenhaal, Hugh Jackman, Cilian Murphy
One of my favorite actors of all time I don’t even know why just love his aura
He played my great uncle in band of brothers
I loved before because of his preformances and now that i know he was a heavy metal guitar player, i love him even more!
My favorite actor of all times! Always, no matter what :)
He has such an amazing way of understanding a character. It makes him so fantastic as an actor.
Very respectable actor who I think knows how lucky he is to do what he does
The killer is an incredible performance. I watched it twice recently and could easily watch again
Shame they didn’t discuss Centurion. One of my favourite fassbender movies. Great cast. Highly recommend it to anyone that hasn’t seen it.
This guy will hopefully stick around & get an Oscar nod in the future. A bold gutsy terrific actor, always an intense prescence in a variety of roles/films.
Didn't think he could make it in a heavy metal band. Delivered in band of brothers and conveyed the master of magnetism
I see what you did there - nice ;)
I´ve always loved him as an actor, absolutely brilliant. If I see any movie with him in it it´s an instant watch for me.
His performance in Prometheus was incredible. He played a humanoid robot so well to me, almost really made you believe he wasn’t real yet real at the same time. I wasn’t a fan of Covenant’s story but he was great in that too.
his voice would be perfect for narrating a documentary
Hands down one of my favorite modern actors
1:10 probably one of the very few actors or celebrities who has a perspective on what it’s like for the average every day person
One of the best actors of my generation! I get goosebumps when I watch Prometheus because perhaps, one day David may be a reality.
As David in Covenant and as Connor in Fish Tank. two of my favourites roles of his! Such a great actor! Edied to add Steve Jobs, he was great in that role!
He has such charisma on screen. He might have only 8 lines of dialog in '300', but he completely stole the movie for me.
The world of movies would be so sad without Mike! thanks Mike for your awesome performances.
superbly underated actor......................he had me the opening scene of Centurion ......................and has only gotten better and that was tough to do!
Centurion is my all time favorite of his films, thank you................................
Best supporting for Inglorious. That scene is amazing
I'm not surprised they didn't include it, because it wasn't a pivotal moment in his career and it's not particularly famous, but one of my favorite films and favorite Fassbender performances is in Fish Tank.
