I bet what Streep was probably doing (which makes it especially brilliant) was thinking about what she could say that would embarrass the other actors the most -- what she could say that would make it hardest for them to deliver "bad news" to her right afterwards. Great actors will focus on the other actors and how to impact them, and she's one of the greats.
This is really impressive. The funny part is the imaginary voice she's making up in her phone call, but her reactions are quite logical responses to what she's imagining. Fascinating.
Improv or prepared? She had the script and knew she needed to "improv" there. A professional actor is always prepared. Either way, she is truly talented and a comedic genius.
At 72 years old, Meryl Streep is classified as a senior citizen. But God damn it, not in this production! She totally personified someone that was 25 to 30 years younger than where she is now! She definitely did not look her age. In the way she arranged her acting role was complimentary of her younger looking age in this film Meryl Streep was totally in rare form.
Maybe this is how 72 is supposed to look or would look if a person took really good well-rounded care of their appearance and health? I think if people stopped putting arbitrary limits on how one should look in certain age ranges, they would stop surprising themselves when they see evidence to the contrary, especially as it seems to happen often enough.
As a film buff at 71 years old, it takes a lot to impress me with a film. I have a lot of thoughts of "been there, seen that". I loved "Don't Look Up" because it's funny, clever, thought provoking, and entertaining. I've seen it three times already, and I'll see it again sometime. Congrats to Adam McKay and all involved.
She's amazing. It's not just in her film acting where she gives different takes, look at her interviews. She can tell the same story in another interview and she gives you a different take on the same story so it seems like a new story. She puts so much effort into everything she does, both on and off screen. That's why she's the best.
When you remember her character in Out of Africa (for example), and compare that to this film, the extent of her range, ownership of persona and command over the camera is phenomenal. Greatest Actor of our time!
Imagine asking Meryl Streep if she has trained in any acting or theatrical technique like improvisation, something every actor ever has some familiarity with, from taking a high school acting class to master classes. Wild!
All improvisers think they’re the only ones who can do it. Sure it’s a skill you can hone, and you need imagination to start with, but you’re totally right- everyone with a theatre background has done improv at some point.
Meryl Streep is so much in the same way she performs, elegant, so relatable. She is talking to the phone as if there's really someone listening to her at the other end
How fascinating and mesmerizing to the fellow actors on set. Great improvisation is a talent that can easily render a viewer mute and in awe. It can be a jaw-dropping experience. Why wouldn't it be a roller-coaster ride of fun when employed by the supremely talented Meryl Streep? How fortunate we all are to have the ability to see this: a great actor doing her thing. Thank you Adam McKay for letting it happen.
the same as other generations that lost Bette Davis, Marlon Brando, who were superior it's different with directors and screenwriters, like scorsese, cinema never recovers brian de palma was great but hitchcock's emptiness continues
@@lamanodeyoutubedeyoutube5754 Yes, the emptiness. I hope this generation and next ones have patience to experience that emptiness. And they understand it doesn't need to be filled with first thing they find. It's okay just to remember good movies\songs.
Once again Netflix, where are the deleted scenes from Tick Tick Boom, we know the "Green Green Dress" number was filmed because we can see snippets in the trailer.
@@ImxPhreme Yeah, aesthetically that’s very true, no doubt. The screenplay and some other details of her performance I found to reference democratic presidents as well, which I think many of the people who didn’t like the film may not have picked up on, hence the many references to this movie being bad or partisan or preachy. I think some people felt insulted by it but it was a respectable and pretty even critique I thought
I was like why do I want to see anything else about this movie and then I saw it was something with Meryl and I was like well it’s going to be good no matter what it is...definitely worth clicking 😂 Even her outtakes deserve nominations.
I was a drama student in the late 80's, and we were a bunch of know-it-alls. ☺️. I remember some of us were extolling the virtues of Meryl, and one guy piped up saying "She's not all that great. I'd like to see her try and do comedy". Well... (BTW, she'd previously played Katherine in "Taming of the Shrew" in Shakespeare in the Park, but he had no idea.) Ah, the obnoxiousness of theater students, lol!
I have seen this movie and I love this movie. I am getting this movie on both dvd and Blu ray. This movie is on my movie schedule for the third Saturday.
this is straight up a exercise you do in drama school! very nice to see it actually being put to use

Helps so much to do this to keep every take fresh. I'm sure she could do 100 more takes on the fly.

"Do I need to take an antibiotic again?" is the funniest. I am stealing this one.
she practically told a story in all those improv bits.
And neither contradict each other.
"I know I had implants, but I had them taken out" I'M DEAD

@Rosemarie DiSalvo I doubt even Meryl would prepare so many improvs....
OMG COMEDY GOLD!!!!!
Sophie's choice should've been her instead of the kids.
@@krisk3363she was trained in improv and director himself said it was all her
Can you imagine the rest of the crew have to keep a straight face while Ms Streep does her improve? I can't. That's why she is GOAT.
wouldn't that make the rest of the crew te goat, because they kept it together ;)
She better be good with looks she has, or lacks
Shes owning the stage
Meryl Streep as an acting professor would be…. LEGEND
Yes! Wondering how come Meryl Streep is not in Master Class series yet. That would be fire!
Over-rated

you'd be surprised how many old women don't look their age these days, and not due to face lift and other artificial beautifying procedures..

She was so freaking funny in this movie. Her character was infuriatingly hilarious haha
I think we can all agree she is truly from another planet… She can do anything!! 🧡🎬

Meryl is a god I cannot fathom how an extremely skilled actress like her exists in our lifetime!
Relax bud it’s just acting not some world changing occupation
@Goddess She went beyond God, actually.
“Aww no, do I have to take an antibiotic again” ? im cryin
“Antibiotic, again?” Sound like STD , she’s the best lol
Yeah when she said results, I thought it was polls or some term's results, but then she asked about the antibiotics and LMFAO 🤣
Nothing less from the G.O.A.T. herself
🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 !!!!
The goat!!!!
She had to ask Jonah Hill why he kept calling her goat.
HAHA i had to google G.O.A.T,
all she had to do, was to ask Josh.

Greatest Of All Time
Meryl is always perfect in every role.
She is a queen!!! 👑 Love her!!! ❤️💕
No, she's a president actually
she looks so very happy doing what she does best! She clearly had fun with this role.
This character reminds me so much of "Madeline Ashton" from "Death Becomes Her". It's like what would happen if Madeline became president lol
I love Meryl Streep. Her acting is superb!
I want more of these outtakes plssss!
I have no idea what we are going to do when Meryl Streep and Tom Hanks retire. I dread.
I will be very happy when Tom Hanks stops

This is Meryl 'Legend' Streep we're talking about
I absolutely LOST it at "antibiotics again?"
She was great as always. Everyone was good in it.
You can’t get any better than Meryl. I ❤️❤️❤️ her. She’s so brilliant at everything and comedy is right up there. The woman is a goddess!!!
“I’m the President of the US, you F*#%” Lmao, Yoo What! 😭😂
Once again Netflix, where are the deleted scenes from Tick Tick Boom, we know the "Green Green Dress" number was filmed because we can see snippets in the trailer.
She must watched a lot of Fox news to prepare for the role
True. But I thought the movie offered equal critiques of CNN, Fox, AND the New York Times though
@@NobuhikuObayashi definitely. But her and her ‘don’t look up’ crowd def portrays how fox looks

Come on, Netflix, don't short change us with these small snippets.
Release some longer form BTS, please!!!
“you know my son is older than you 😏”
Come on man!! I mean what could you even expect from a performer like Meryl? She literally is the Goddess of Acting.
Being great at acting with lines doesn’t necessarily translate to being able to create dialogue on the spot.
@@hoover728 Absolutely, I second that! But she can do it effortlessly and that's why she stands out.
goddess...
Meryl Streep for president!!! I love her so much more after this! ❤️😂😂
I SO LOVE MERYL!!! She is so awesome!!
This is why she is the greatest of all time
One of the hardest things is to act on a phone though. The speech patterns, the anticipating or "reacting to" an interruption. Are you kidding?

She is a godess. Greatest actor alive. This bits alone are better than the movie.
This lady is so good she should win an Oscar.
She is BREATHTAKING!

BRILLIANT!
I have seen this movie and I love this movie. I am getting this movie on both dvd and Blu ray. This movie is on my movie schedule for the third Saturday.
Omg I laughed so hard when I first saw this part 0:33 had no idea it was improvised makes it so much funnier lol
the amount of stage power and talent Adam McKay has had in his film catalogue and his best film is and always will be Step Brothers..
Agree with all the Meryl Streep adulation. She's amazing.
I love Meryl Streep’s improvisation
She is a diamond!!💯❤️
She is a legend
She’s a legend. How could he forget this?
Meryl Streep is legit a great actress
She's one badass actress
a true talent
LEGEND
2:09 "you wanna be a secret servant?" 😅
Miss Streep is a legend for MANY reasons!!!!
Just realising that the president's mobile phone is MASSIVE!
"Hey producer, we need a woman over 40"
"No worries, call Meryl"
because anyone else was gonna play the literal president…
Adam are like nubie in here, even Leo acknowledge that Meryl are a royal in acting industries
meryl should make a master class. she would be a great acting teacher
she did a great job of being extremely unlikable, and relatable to other certain presidents...
dementia joe ?
Ela é brilhante!!
Meryl is the GOAT
Those guy’s veneers steal our attention
I could watch hours of this
I love this ilm so much. Please give us some Leo outtakes/behind the scenes!!!
Netflix needs to add stuff like this to their catalogue
She seems so young!!
Meryl Streep is the all time best actress
The antibiotic one was my favorite.
I love her.
Queen of Business😍💪
I think was one of her bests roles. Was fantastic!!! She representd or copy an exactly liar and superficial President everybody’s know……… 👏👏👏👏
Meryl is the GOAT.
Meryl Steep's improv: 60% of the time, it works every time.
Just love that Adam McKay features Sex Panther more prominently than his Oscar. (At 00:41)
I loved this movie
Legendary.
Killing it as always 🤣
