Daniel Day Lewis hibernates for a couple of years. Then he makes an amazing performance.
Then he hibernates. Then same thing again.
His acting must be measured and spent in careful doses, to preserve him for the coming generations.
Well he pracices the "black art" of method acting, and I honestly don't know if he could psychologically do a bunch of films back to back ala Buschemi or Jonah Hill; he becomes the character for a while, and it takes some time to unravel after that.
He was supposedly a massive asshole on the set of "There Will Be Blood"
I've been thinking about this and am not convinced this is actually something that happens to the degree that people suggests.
At the end of the day the actor is going to get into his car and drive home. Use a cell phone. Not kill people. Still respond to being called by their name. Hopefully help someone in front of them who's having a heart attack.
Like, of course they try to "become" the character. I'd say almost every actor probably does that. Or else they would just go on stage and read lines and do nothing else. I contest that there is a clear border between acting and method acting. People lay it out as two completely separate things, or that it's useful to place a name on what they do to prepare for a role.

I almost posted the same thing. He was living in a tent and basically just was the character while shooting.

Factually correct but written like you're in 8th grade?
Or, written like you're a genius and being mostly factually incorrect?
The last essay I wrote, the teacher said not to bullshit them because they were the king of bullshit, so I bullshitted and got an 92. Never underestimate a college freshmen who bullshitted their way through 4 years of high school English.

Man, hurricane bawbag is scaring the shit outta me. It sounds like my house is gonna come down, hell, last time the winds were near this bad a tree almost fell through the roof.
But mostly it's worth it just for the amusement I'm getting at the international exposure of the word "bawbag".

No Country is a great movie but the invincible, unstoppable, implacable bad guy kind of places it firmly in the realm of fantasy or myth. Chigurh is scary the way Michael Myers is scary. Daniel Plainview is scary in the way real people often are, in the way he has some genuinely admirable qualities but they all kind of go sour and result in something horrifying.
I don't find having a largely symbolic, non-realistic character to be a strike against a narrative. I'd agree Plainview is a better character than Chigurh but I still think No Country is the better movie overall.
it's not a strike against it, it's just that it kind of turns the story into a parable, and the danger of parable is that it kind of lays someone's worldview bare
and I don't know if I believe in or accept McCarthy's worldview, much as I enjoy seeing him lay it out
whereas I don't know if TWWB makes any grander existential claims. it seems to me to be much more a story of a couple of men and the unique ways in which living in a harsh, unforgiving landscape has made them hard and rotten.

No, its quite real... and people who subscribe to the methodology are essentially well paid crazy people.
They rearrange their homes, keep journals in the mind of their character... Heath Ledger's Joker is a good example of this. His living quarters were fucked for months after filming; he left pictures askew on the wall, kept a log filled with horrifying jokes in his pocket (like, AIDS babies jokes), became massively antisocial, and very offbeat and off-color in his interactions.

I'm pretty sure I passed my speech class because my teacher couldn't find any marks in her gradebook, got confused and just gave me a B.
I very rarely showed up and only gave one speech, although I submitted outlines and the transcripts and slides for all my other ones. That class was so dumb, I remember a kid giving a speech on solar power, and I shit you not, the first line to the speech was:
"The sun is one of the brightest stars in our solar system."
I had to bury my face into the desk to keep my laughter from being distractingly audible.
Day-Lewis threw his personal version of "method acting" into full throttle in 1989 with his performance as Christy Brown in Jim Sheridan's My Left Foot which garnered him numerous awards, including the Academy Award for Best Actor. During filming, his eccentricities came to the fore, due to his refusal to break character.[9] Playing a severely paralyzed character on screen, off screen Day-Lewis had to be moved around the set in his wheelchair, and crew members would curse at having to lift him over camera and lighting wires, all so that he might gain insight into all aspects of Brown's life, including the embarrassments.[8] He broke two ribs during filming from assuming a hunched-over position in his wheelchair for so many weeks.
Day-Lewis returned in 1993, playing Newland Archer in Martin Scorsese's adaptation of the Edith Wharton novel The Age of Innocence, opposite Winona Ryder and Michelle Pfeiffer. To prepare for the film, set in America's Gilded Age, he wore 1870s-period aristocratic clothing around New York City for two months, including top hat, cane, and cape in cold weather.

Apparently we have 3 and will start with one more.

Sweet, in that case I am very happy.
Ludious: I think you'd have to write an absolutely insane essay to get something approaching 80 or 90 percent. System works differently here I guess.
