Why We Love Philip Seymour Hoffman

- Опубликовано: 10 сен 2024
- Philip Seymour Hoffman could do it all: He could make us laugh, he could make us cry, and he could do both of those things in a single scene-he was just that versatile. This incredible talent is what led to Hoffman being labeled as a character actor, but that classification doesn’t quite seem to do him justice. Yes, he had many standout performances in many eccentric supporting roles, but Hoffman was also a commanding presence who proved himself to be a tour de force in several leading performances. I’m not sure if any other actor has ever been able display emotion like Hoffman did. Thoughtful, and passionate, and really just a joy to watch, Hoffman was truly one of the greats. From subtle facial expressions to volatile explosions of dialogue, Hoffman was a master of emoting-he was a master of his craft in general. He made us laugh, he made us cry, but above all, he made us care.
For more on our favorite actors and what made them so special, don’t miss our recent videos about Robin Williams, Christian Bale, Joaquin Phoenix, Lakeith Stanfield, and Tom Cruise-and for more on one of Hoffman’s ultimate performances, watch Influences on “The Master” to see what helped inspire him.
To really see his genius, do yourself a favor and read the script to his movies. If you read the words on the page and see his range of emotion and performance, his line delivery is second to none. I HATE that we won't get to see him evolve into the kind of roles that behoove Anthony Hopkins or another older actor. He would have been REMARKABLE.
He played old characters as a young man, so who cares
*i totally wanna see that! do you have a video you can recommend to me?*
We couldve seen an Elton John biopic with him as Elton John
He was remarkable *
@Lisa Surlie And you're proving what an essential contribution you are to the world.
He is equally great as Daniel Day Lewis for me. Sometimes more so because of his wider range of selections from comedy to drama. RIP Mr. Hoffman 😢
Real shame they never teamed up for a PT Anderson movie. I think a young Hoffman would have been a great alternative to Paul Dano in There Will Be Blood.
@@possessedslig or like a PT Anderson movie starring DDL, Phillip Seymour Hoffman and Joaquin Phoenix together, imagine that, the holy trinity of PT Anderson movies
I think he was better.
But hey... That's just me.
I actually think that in terms of displaying real emotions, Hoffman did it slightly better than Day-Lewis, but i still can't decide which one's overall better actor
@@DC-zi6se yes that is just you
He's the best thing about his films
RIP
IиVEяTED indeed.
Did he died ?
@@saadalqahtani3053 unfortunately yes
The only exception is The Big Lebowsky, but i agree in every single other case
Phillip Seymour Hoffman the king of supporting actors. RIP Master
Calling him supporting actors is disrespectful, most of his best roles came as a lead
He's dead? Ouch
@@yogeshtripathi6120 well said!
I repeated 😄
The Master, what a great one.
Thats too stereotypical
He genuinely was one of the greatest of all time.
I think what made Philip so incredible was his ability to take any role given to him and make it human. His every word, movement, and emotion seemed to come from the depth of his soul. No matter what role he played, whether it was comedic, villainous, or dramatic, it seemed so real.
The villainous part was all real. He left his kids and wife nothing in the will as he didn't want "trust fund babies" but his family was in dire need of some cash. A cool million or less could have helped his family and he has $35M. I don't know but he seemed like a bastard because of this and he wasn't shy but hardly talked to anyone as he had little time for fans. But he was a great actor.
he is truly "THE MASTER"
I swear he is my favorite actor of all time. It is so sad to loose him so soon.
what? So little love for Synecdoche? Arguably his best performance?
Johnny Stevens for real. I was thinking the same thing
I think it's hard for some to fully appreciate given the nature of the film.
I personally think Hoffman is the best part of it, but I don't feel like the film let's him get past it's own, for the lack of a better word, indulgences. Synechdoche it's really big hit or big miss for most.
@@emigrant1510 biggest hit of my life.
@@nowhereman6019 Glad to hear that. I've just never been able to like it.
Even in just 20 years he played in more legendary roles than all but very few actors ever have. Such a big loss to the world of film (beyond obviously the personal loss to those who knew him) . Who knows how many more great performances or even entire films that cannot be made now without him.
That scene in the car from "Before the Devil knows you're dead" may be my favorite of him. Such a despicable character, yet he makes me feel so sympathetic to him. What an absolute master.
I haven’t seen the film and without any context, this scene still made me tear up. Shows how great of an actor he was.
He was amazing , it was so natural , like it didnt look it was acting at all. His expressions too when he even hadnt any dialogue. I mean he was always on point.
The first time I legit cried over a celebrity's death is for him. RIP The Master of acting
This perfectly summarises how I feel about him. In my opinion there’s never been a greater range in a body of work by an actor. If only he had more time
Range, depth, versatility - everything. He is the greatest American actor ever.
Only, Gary Oldman probably is better or as good as him.
@@DC-zi6se Also Daniel Day Lewis. Those 3 are the greatest actors of their generation
Too soon... still hurts.
He's absolutely hypnotic on screen. My favorite actor ever.
Phillip Seymour Hoffman had brilliant acting skills. My favorite film featuring him was "Capote". He embodied Truman Capote so completely, right down to the lisp in his voice.
For me what i loved the most was how he was able to truly disappear into his characters there's not one single movie i've seen with him that i can tell "that's Phillip Seymour Hoffman" there are so many great actors that i can tell ok this is "him or her" this is something he kinda always uses on his characters, but with Philip it always felt like a real completly different person everytime, so awesome! specially because he didn't had to go through a extreme transformation phisichally to achieve this
He is best actor I've ever seen in my whole life
A brilliant talent, and totally underrated. He has wowed me many times. You can just tell he was an awesome soul, and if he wasn't, then that would be a testament to his acting talents, again!
He was one of the greatest actors of all time. I miss him so much...
Thank you. Philip Seymour Hoffman is my favourite actor of all time, and this is the most beautiful video I've seen dedicated to him.

Watch this video if you liked this one. It is eye opening to the ability and range of Philip Seymour Hoffman. I made a point to see the movies of his I hadn't yet seen after watching it.
Joshua Tozer Holy shit. This video got deleted from RUclips and I couldn't find it. Thank you!
I truly believe Philip Seymour Hoffman was the actor of a generation. He had such an uncanny ability to elevate whatever movie he was in instantly from MI:3 to The Hunger Games series to his starring role in Capote.
One of the best actors of all time
Synecdoche New York is my favourite film of all time
Legend
I'm still in disbelief every time it occurs to me that he's gone forever. Love Liza is my favorite PSH film.
He had so many more great performances in him. One of the greatest actors, he was such an immense talent.
Amazing actor and a genuine, sensitive, and intelligent man. A huge loss in many many ways.
There’s been some great comments, I simply want to add: there’s a lot of wonderful actors from the past 50 years. Other than Daniel Day Lewis, no one else comes close to Philip Seymour Hoffman.
Daniel Day Lewis isn't that great. he lacks much emotion.
@@nope4216 er what? First time I've ever seen anyone claim DDL lacks emotion, he's so emotionally invested in his characters he literally gets depressed after finishing the role. Bizarre claim.
🖤🖤 It would be lovable a video-mix of all his "rage attacks" of the different movies
One of cinemas greatest actors of all time
One of cinemas greatest workers and most phenomenal character actors!! Still very missed 😔 so many memorable performances x
The last line resonates a lot with me.
Yes we do miss him so so much.
Aargh, rest up sire, rest up 🙏
Think I'll watch all his movies now.
Thanks
"May be" ? Philip Seymour Hoffman IS one of the Most Versatile and one of the Greatest actor of All Time.
I just discovered, few days ago, that Philip Seymour Hoffman is one of the best actors in history. Unbelievable talent.
Miss him. Miss his acting.
I feel devastated, I didn't even meet him before I leave this earth 😭
I still miss him so much it hurts
Six years since his passing. Still my favourite.
His best performance is The Master what a great performance and amazing actor.
I wanted to hang out with his Twister character. Philip was believable in every single part he played. I wish I knew why he had demons.
That scene in "Before the Devil Knows You're Dead" in wich PSH cries in the car is the most real crying act I have ever seen in my life and is the epiphany that turned me to decide being an actor. I owe PSH for making my life meaningful.
BONUS: The also crying scene in "Savages". Equally briliant.
Amazing video. My favorite actor to have ever lived. Miss him greatly. Thanks a lot!
When he played Owen Davian in MI 3 was incredible. It was with this movie portrayal that i got attached with his performance in other movies
How to miss someone you've never met - all these years after his tragic death I miss seeing his brilliant acting. My heart breaks for his family and friends.
One of the best actor's of my time, no doubt would've been one of the greatest!
Such talent taken much too soon!
PSH may you R.I.P. ❤
God rest his soul, one of my all time favs.
So great to see such appreciation of perhaps the greatest actor of all time.
I loved him so much.
Let me qualify this: James Gandalfini & Edie Falco & Daniel-Day are all up there too... But there was something about phil... God damn it. You know it's true because you can't put it into words... god damn it
God Damn I miss his movies and his talent so much. He really put out some really enjoyable performances.
Thanks for the video. You made me think about how grateful we should be to those actors.
I liked him in Scent of a Woman
That was a Great Movie.
It’s a damn shame we lost him too soon. I would have liked to have seen more from him.
Absolute genius and sorely missed 😪😪😪
His role as a priest was his greatest achievement and it seems to echo on and on to this day... Lol
He gave us so much.I'm so grateful.R.I.P. Philip!!!
amazing man should be with us still RIP
The most versatile and greatest actor to ever live...may his soul rest eternally
The greatest of all time
Doubt and Capote. An incredible actor and influence.
I miss him so much!
Keep these up. Currently one of my favorite channels. Can’t wait to see this channel blow up like it rightfully should. Love it!!
Hoffman and Robin Williams are my favorite actors of all time. Seeing them in Patch Adams, was a privilege!
Thank you Fandor! Awesome job, and, like several posters have said. it's difficult to forget this phenomenal talent!
I suggest checking out A Most Wanted Man, the final film released before his death. He plays a German character and absolutely nails it. Very underrated movie not enough people have seen.
One of the greatest actors ever
Even in films where he only has a small supporting role such as in Almost Famous he still has the power to move you like he did in that scene with the phone call, fuck man r.i.p to Phil Hoffman we really lost someone special.
You missed synecdoche, happiness and a most wanted man
And "Mary and Max"
you made a chart which shows the screen time for the actors/actresses in a 124-second scene??? I just subscribed. you deserve so much more attention for the work you put into these videos.
missed u philip ....rip
Why we miss Philip Seymour Hoffman
He was good could not help but get drawn to him and see something Beautiful. x
Thank you for posting this. Appreciate seeing PSH still being talked about years down the road.
You are still loved and missed ❤️ The greatest
My favorite role of his, and the one in which he seemed the most matched with every other actor, has to be Mary and Max. My all time favorite movie. He plays a man with Asperger's syndrome is the best portrayal I have ever seen, and as an actor with Asperger's syndrome myself, I find myself asking "how the FUCK did he do it?!?"
Forever missed 💔
Great video, thanks for making and sharing
Doubt is by far his best film in my opinion.
RIP to this legend
R.I.P Philip Seymour Hoffman
He is brilliant!!
I loved his portrayal of Art Howel in Moneyball he was like the real guy but it was perfect for the movie
what about his voice tone and how he control it .. Brilliant
He was great in 'Happiness'.
He so was! One of my favourite films even though it’s ridiculously uncomfortable
miss him everyday ;/
I can't stand mission impossible but he's so goood he made me love that 1 film
One of the best MI opening scene. So damn good.
Miss you everyday phil
You should make a "Why We Love Tilda Swinton"!
Dam it’s been 6 years. Never realized how good of actor he was
I don’t understand why was his film Synecdoche ignored? It’s fantastic.
One complete actor
Gone too soon
RIP Legend
So sad he will never grace us with another role 😢 Its so sad that the most talented, amazing people are the ones who have the biggest inner battle to fight. Its as if you're punished for being so talented, that you can't possess talent, intelligence, motivation and contentment and an happy life at the same time. Its either talent or inner demons.... One day we will figure out why that is. Id love to do catscans of truly naturally talented people whom haven't had the best life and compare the films to someone who is completely content and happy but utterly talentless and see whats different, if there is any difference that is.
Let it rain....rain dance...rain drops...white chocolate ... old school.....alright time time I’m burnin, my legs are burnin...funniest skit ever...
RIP legend
One of the best channels i found in years, please keep up
This was a really great video. You could go deeper into the subject and stretch out the run time for sure, but the 4minute video also makes it easy watch the video and go over to the next one so. You have earned my sunscription.
i miss him
