Some say it's pretentious and unnecessary, others think it's the best way to embody a realistic character. Many legendary actors have tried their hands at it, from Robert De Niro who actually became a Taxi Driver to prepare for his role, to Joaquin Phoenix starving himself for the joker and Daniel Day-Lewis putting himself in complete solitary confinement. In fact, 65% of actors winning an oscar for their performances have been using this extreme technique and it made me question… what is “method acting” exactly and why has it become so popular? • Business Inquiries: [email protected] • The rights for all the songs in this video are purchased through Artlist: https://artlist.io/referral/3497535/DuCinema Copyright Disclaimer under section 107 of the Copyright Act 1976, allowance is made for “fair use” for purposes such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching, scholarship, education and research.
