How Do You Respond Without Sounding Mad?
How Do You Respond Without Sounding Mad?
You can't. Real actors put methodshitters in their place every time.
Haha I get it, like why they fuck would you need to actually shoot yourself to have a death scene? Just pretend, it's not hard.
t. Guy with no range who plays the same character in everything he's in
How does one even stay awake for three days?
By admitting that you're a masochist and do it to prove a point.
The weird thing, though, is that most actors are technically method actors. Method acting is fairly old, dating back to the 1930s and it wasn't all that different from other acting schools.
What we call "method acting" is actually a rogue strain descending from Marlon Brando. It was only in the 70s or so that it really took root as Marlon Brando started going crazy.
Of course, half the mythology around method acting establishing 'realism' is complete nonsense. But I'm sure Mads is talking about those actors that have to tell themselves they're the character when the camera's not on and do stupid shit like send dead rats in boxes to costars like Jared Leto.
Method acting is literally just practice and it works very well
A mix of the 2 styles is better. Olivier is always obvious Acting!, standing outside his characters ("rolls") at the same tyme. Method all end up being a brawling athlete or triathlon thing at the end.
One all nighter would've been enough
Brainlet take. Method acting is kino and shows real dedication to the role
If you're born talented you'll be good whether you train as a Shakespearian or as a method actor. If you're born without the talent you'll be shit either way.
I was wondering that myself.
I’m trying to fix my terrible sleep schedule at this very moment and staying up past 20 hours just becomes unbearable.
Sorry anon, but YOU are the brainlet. Acting quality isn't something that stems from quantitatively measured effort, it stems from talent. 'Dedication' to an acting role isn't the same as dedication to a sigma grindset.
Caffeine, meth, having a newborn infant around. Personally my experience has been after not sleeping the first day can be quite hard your body tells you to sleep but if you have the willpower you overwrite that shit and then honest to God I've gotten a second wind so to speak and just kept going until my work shift started in the morning. I had insomnia from not smoking weed so just stayed up playing games n watching tv while shit posting here.
How would you know how to act like you've been up for 3 days straight unless you've actually experienced it?
He plays completely different characters. I don't know what you're talking about.
It sounds more like praise, like Olivier is saying "you're probably just fine without all of this stupid method 'going the extra mile' crap, my boy."
You pretend to be sleepy.
The actor's job isn't to know what it's really like, it's to be able to convince the audience that you've been up for 3 days. And usually the acted version will be more entertaining than the real version.
Bullshit. I like authenticity, not some hollywood fag bullshitting the scenario. If an actor wants to experience the scenario to be accurate I applaud their dedication
you'll be good whether you train as a Shakespearian or as a method actor
The two also do a lot of the same things. Both schools are supposed to make you read the script, analyze it, and understand the character's role. Shakespearian acting just focuses more on the mechanics and performance, while method acting focuses more on empathizing with the character you portray.
I fall asleep on the spot
You are retarded just so you know
You try acting.
A truly great actor has the imagination and intelligence to play a part with no personal resemblance to their own experiences. It's the same principle behind artistic creation of all types, or do you think Goethe experienced making a deal with the devil?
Shakespearian acting just focuses more on the mechanics and performance
I for the most part agree with your post, but this is not necessarily correct. Some Shakespearians throughout history have emphasised the need to really feel the emotions of the character they're playing and spontaneous improvisation, especially in the romantic era with its focus on natural emotion. Contrarily, you see many method actors take the concern with the exterior behaviour and mannerisms of their characters to the extreme, so they become like a caricature. This goes along with what you were saying about the distinction between method and non-method acting not always being all that important.
You dont need range when youre handsome
In an interview on Inside the Actors Studio, Hoffman said that this exchange had been distorted; that he had been up all night at a nightclub for personal rather than professional reasons, and Olivier, who was aware of this, was merely joking
it's a bullshit story
Everyone has experienced sleep depravation at some point. If you need to "method" every scene you're in then you're either a hack or a twat.
Tryharding is the opposite of authenticity.
A truly great actor has the imagination and intelligence to play a part with no personal resemblance to their own experiences.
It's both. You need to put yourself into the role, and you need imagination. It's about having diverse experiences to draw from, and the ability to connect the dots.
This is even more true when it comes to writing. Faust is a philosophical exploration, it is based on the author's personal musings, christian theology, and german romanticism of the time. If it was just about le devil it would be quite boring.
t. i make this face in everything i'm in
Zzzzzzzzzzzz

I for the most part agree with your post, but this is not necessarily correct
As I said, it's more about emphases. The way I've heard it described, Shakespearean acting tends to be more mechanical just because it's designed around plays. Being able to consistently land lines matters more when you have an hours-long performance in one take rather than a film with multiple cuts.
In contrast, modern method acting tends to be designed around movie production. The emotion matters more because you can afford to flub a line and do reshoots.
At that point, though, we're talking more about the medium than the school of acting.
method acting exists entirely to make actors feel like their job isn't bullshit
it has nothing to do with results
There can be a healthy balance, compare Ledger's Joker method acting to Leto's Joker method acting. Ledger kept a journal of what his character should look like and how he should play him. He took inspiration from real life psychopaths and terrorists, as well as counterculture figures like Sid Vicious. But he still acted like a normal guy. Compare that to Leto who acted like a cringelord loser and was hated by everyone.
moms gonna freak
I once couldnt sleep for 7 days following a research chemical binge. I thought I was going to die after 3 days and by the end of the week i was essentially a zombie just laying in the corner, It was miserable.
Method acting was just a process to help actors to evoke more naturalistic emotions from their performances. What we now think of as "method acting" is just delusional movie stars willfully succumbing to their own narcissistic madness under the protection of a role.
what animu
"Damn, you are right. I dont know what I was thinking."
I don't read the script. The script reads me.
i go to scripts
You do realize most of these "method actors" are full of shit, and didn't do half of these things they say they do, you're a gullible retard, placebo is a hell of a drug
