Personally for me the best director quote was "Stop! Stop now! Somebody in here is acting" The best performances don't even have the tiniest scent of acting or pretending.

@@generic53 Ryan Gosling is one of the best actors and has been acting since he was a child like Russel Crowe, Gosling also grew up poor, he definitely hasn't been to acting classes
“Learn your dialogue and don’t bump into the furniture” is basically a funny, kinda self-deprecating way of saying “don’t overthink it”. Some actors get so caught up trying to get into a character that they get in their own way, when the reality is 9 times out of 10 as long as you say the line and don’t look like an awkward baboon the scene will come together fine
The music, the hand in the flowing field of wheat and the music in that moment, made the film. Also, poor Juba who had buried the figurines. What tragic moments.
You can't argue with Russel Crow, he is a masterful actor who can be a totally different character in every movie he does and he can get out of the way and let the character shine. He is awesome.
I expected the Olivier quote to be the one where he said to Dustin Hoffman, who was using the Method to appear authentically exhausted by sleep-depriving himself, in 'The Marathon Man'; "My dear boy, you really should just try acting."

If it were only to learn the lines and to not bump into furnitures everyone would be actors. It would be like a market cashier job 😜😂 he has been in the industry since 5! The industry itself was like a school to him
It has elements of complications but his point is life is a better teacher for an actor than paying someone thousands a year to have you cluck around like a chicken to get in touch with yourself.
@@Jackielong-sighted7890 well in that sense yeah i know. But those who can understand this are veeery rare and those make into a very good use teachers.

Talent is a misnomer. He said he's been acting since he was six years old. So his so-called talent happened the same way everyone else that got good at what they do. REPETITION.
Russell has always been one of those guys that likes to be liked, and would and could pull it off! It’s a gift that will come around once in a while to those very few! Natural Talent! You go Russell, would love to see more of you, just like Lawrence Olivier!
Russell Crowe 'method' works because he's organic, real and not a pretentious tw*t. He didn't trash anything, he just pulled a few egos down a touch!🤌 Go Russell, love that man!❤
There's two kinds of people in every career, The one that goes to school,learns it and put it into practice working and the other one it's the one that learns by itself by doing it.
Russell Crowe got to be in commercials since he was 6. Not everyone gets that chance or can continually get roles as a child. His answer is "funny" and sounds "badass" but it's not the norm for most successful actors. They all went to some type of structured Drama School (even the Laurence Olivier actor he quote who spent years in theater and schools before even touching film).
"If you want to be an actor, work it out yourself." This is actually quite a deep perspective and what every actor must do to be effective. There's no other shortcut.
@@marcus_ohreallyus Horses for courses. Some like to work out things for themselves, others prefer some formal training. Pros and Cons to both, though probably not a great idea to try to teach yourself surgery 😜
@@winterbas8927as a doctor, you’re correct in saying there needs to be a rigorous and institutional element to surgical training, but ask any surgeon, and they will tell you that it’s largely on them. For knowing anatomy, surgical techniques, post-op care, and how to emotionally manage yourself. Some of these you start with independent study, but they are all internally formalised through the trials of work
Pretty good film but still kinda overrated though.. . Sloppy storytelling combined with we'll-crafted spectacle and one of Hans Zimmers most blah soundtracks.
When i was 15 i went to an audition for a BBC production. I had absolutely no experience whatsoever but did it for a laugh with some friends. There were about 90 other people there and i went in, read the script, put on a ridiculous performance and they immediately chose me for the part. It totally backfired on me because i had no intention of ever acting, let alone be on TV. The director kept ringing my parents for days trying to get hold of me but i shit myself and said i didn't want to do it. That was back in 1996 and i kick myself every day for not taking up that opportunity. It could have lead to a lifelong career.
If you had it back then you still have it now, actors are all ages, your life experience may have even made you a better actor now. It's never too late.
I hate when people say it’s never too late but you’re only 40ish? It is actually a wonderful age because you have the natural talent of Marlon Brando, and now you want it. There was a young guy in my acting class who was a magnificent natural actor with ZERO passion for it. So horrible to see because I’m old and I was in tears of utter joy and relief going to that class. I actually cried with joy walking to the class I always wanted to act and never got to. I chose him to work with on a scene and another guy was in our little group but he was an ass law student and our new teacher was afraid of him, the teacher didn’t have my back. It was soul crushing to be in the group because they had no interest whatsoever and didn’t rehearse at all. I got an F in the class because I dropped out. I love rehearsing but they refused. Those two guys poisoned it for me. The universes rejection is the universes protection. Maybe it was NOT the right time for you. Considering enrolling in a class or try out for a part. It might be your time now. Don’t deprive us!🎉
100% true. I could cry on demand when I was 10. I could “feel” what characters were feeling. I don’t know if it’s an empathetic personality or something but acting always came naturally. I never understood the people that spent more time trying to pretend to be something rather than live a life rich with experience to draw from and the ability to put yourself in someone else’s shoes :)
His performance in Romper Stomper is one of the most intense roles ive ever seen an actor take..It wasnt like watching a good acting performance it was just a character that he so completely embodied.
Kiwi born Australian meaning born in new Zealand but spent most of his time in Australia. To be more specific, he was born in Wellington in new Zealand. Other famous new Zealand actors include Karl Urban, Antony Starr, Sam Niel, Lucy Lawless and of course Taika Waititi/Cohen.
Acting is literally just pulling whats inside of your heart, ripping it out and showing it to the world. I imagine it's like a therapeutic experience where a person gets to live in someone elses life temporarily but drawing from their own experiences as a human.
You hear actors talking about who they studied under, and it always sounds so mysterious and not just a little intimidating. I have always wondered what kind of secrets you learn when you go to something like the Lee Strasberg school. Now I don't have to wonder any more ;o)
That's how it should be. It's how you know it's natural talent, not people forcing their way into an industry out of ego. You can tell he's truly passionate
Very good words. And as far as I understand the Stanislavski method from what I have read and heard (and I'm right now refering to the teachings of Stella Adler, whose acting mentor was Stanislavski), the point of acting (according to Stanislavski & Adler) is to develop your own method. So what Russell Crowe is saying here does not offend the acting tradition at all. Quite the opposite: He's demystifying a great misconception about acting, a half-true statement which claims that in order to be able to act, you have to apply a certain method. What he is saying in this clip is completely true and Stanislavski-conform as far as I can say. He is defending the true tradition of acting. Those who think ,,Method Acting" is the key to be an actor, are the ones who offend the tradition of acting from my view.
I still think Russell Crows best and most underrated movies are L.A. Confidential, and Master and Commander. Those movies show more range, and power than any Gladiator
i mean, as my coach says, anger and sadness are the easiest emotions to show on cinema. imo the second half of “a beautiful mind”, after John realized his illness, so starting from the scene where his colleague goes to visit him and sees him on the porch doing calculations, is a real masterclass of acting, you can see his deep research and understanding about the character and schizophrenia.
I LOVED master and commander. Incredibly underrated film. It was moving like no other nautical story. Titanic was excellent ofc but necessarily didn’t have the fantasia and wonderment
Chris Walken does this too. There’s different techniques and it yields different results for actors. Like, Harry Dean Stanton was incredible at what he did, but he was still a very specific actor and wouldn’t do certain things. Whereas Daniel Day Lewis was a bit more of a chameleon.
He seems so down to earth, that's what's so amazing about him. He's a natural. He was so great in the movie, unhinged. I watched that movie about 5 times.
He is absolutely right acting is not about something no one can do because ANYONE YES ANYONE can act its whether or not you have the look or description to fit tbe part its not like being a surgeon or a actual sportsperson where there is genuine skill talent or knowledge to be one
So true... Formal lessons aren't necessary. I've done a little. I go by the late, great James Cagney who said: "Learn your lines and mean them when you say them."
Ah, Laurence Olivier, the best actor of all time whose best work was “Pride and Prejudice,” 1940. If he studied his movies, it’s no surprise that Russell Crowe is one of the best.
Ah you think stanislavski is your ally? You merely adopted the acting. I was born in it, molded by it. I didn't see the method until I was already a man, by then it was nothing to me but blinding!”
Russ was in a video for the RTA Stop Go certification...playing a young guy learning the rules of using a stop go sign with traffic in Australia. He went on from that job to global stardom and Oscar winner! Russell Crowe method certainly worked!
He's telling the truth, it's not that hard. Stop telling these over paid divas that they're sooo talented and worth more money than God. If all the actors in the world ceased to exist we'd get along fine.
No, it's stupid advice. There are millions who go to school and can't make it in. How the hell are those who didn't go to school for acting at all making it in more easily? He also said he got to act since he was 6. In case you didn't notice, not every family has that luxury to have a child have continuous roles since they were 6!
Btw, if it's so easy, let's see you make it as an award-winning, high paid actor in 5 years. You name should be on movie posters and Netflix trailers. You told me it's easy to succeed as a great actor.
@@EnzoTheBaker because when you don't act in the same way that everyone else does you are a more interesting watch. Plenty of other things like LUCK more than anything as well as face shape, height, etc. also play a role. The camera has to love or, at least, like you. That's not true for a lot of people even if they're great actors.
I freakin Luv Russell Crowe to pieces seen alot of his movies which are exceptional! My all time fave so far is GLADIATOR! The best...Stay Blessed Maximus ❤
And it is deeply problematic as such. Numerous actors have traumatised themselves through using it. It can have great results, but it's also really costly, especially when you can also get great results by imagining and pretending.
His violin and cello playing, which he learned for the part, is outstanding in Master and Commander. A truly great actor. Olivier was right, 'learn your lines and hit your marks'.
The best quote from a director to an actor "Its not that hard, just pretend its real"
Personally for me the best director quote was "Stop! Stop now! Somebody in here is acting"
The best performances don't even have the tiniest scent of acting or pretending.

i mean, as my coach says, anger and sadness are the easiest emotions to show on cinema. imo the second half of “a beautiful mind”, after John realized his illness, so starting from the scene where his colleague goes to visit him and sees him on the porch doing calculations, is a real masterclass of acting, you can see his deep research and understanding about the character and schizophrenia.
He was superb in The Insider
Go and watch Romper Stomper.
I LOVED master and commander. Incredibly underrated film. It was moving like no other nautical story. Titanic was excellent ofc but necessarily didn’t have the fantasia and wonderment
M&C is an absolute masterclass.
Russell is right. If you have talent, you have talent. Work hard at it.
Chris Walken does this too. There’s different techniques and it yields different results for actors. Like, Harry Dean Stanton was incredible at what he did, but he was still a very specific actor and wouldn’t do certain things. Whereas Daniel Day Lewis was a bit more of a chameleon.
He seems so down to earth, that's what's so amazing about him. He's a natural. He was so great in the movie, unhinged. I watched that movie about 5 times.
"I don't understand why my character is doing this."
"It's in the script."
He is absolutely right acting is not about something no one can do because ANYONE YES ANYONE can act its whether or not you have the look or description to fit tbe part its not like being a surgeon or a actual sportsperson where there is genuine skill talent or knowledge to be one
So true...
Formal lessons aren't necessary. I've done a little. I go by the late, great James Cagney who said:
"Learn your lines and mean them when you say them."
Acting lessons teach you how to act, in acting lessons 😅😊
Cagney was probably the greatest of all time. Him or Brando. It's Cagney for me.
Pure talent
That makes 5 of the 10 best current actors in the world never , repeat never, took lessons . What does that even mean. These are the best of our time.
Why repeat? You know we can see your text, right??
@@davidhale8034 Not poignant enough and bears repeating.
People love him because he's real, he's authentic and likeable. These two are awesome together.
I love this guy!😂
Ah, Laurence Olivier, the best actor of all time whose best work was “Pride and Prejudice,” 1940. If he studied his movies, it’s no surprise that Russell Crowe is one of the best.
Ah you think stanislavski is your ally? You merely adopted the acting. I was born in it, molded by it. I didn't see the method until I was already a man, by then it was nothing to me but blinding!”
Russ was in a video for the RTA Stop Go certification...playing a young guy learning the rules of using a stop go sign with traffic in Australia. He went on from that job to global stardom and Oscar winner! Russell Crowe method certainly worked!

He just says the words that were written. Brilliant!
He's telling the truth, it's not that hard. Stop telling these over paid divas that they're sooo talented and worth more money than God. If all the actors in the world ceased to exist we'd get along fine.
No, it's stupid advice. There are millions who go to school and can't make it in. How the hell are those who didn't go to school for acting at all making it in more easily?
He also said he got to act since he was 6. In case you didn't notice, not every family has that luxury to have a child have continuous roles since they were 6!
Btw, if it's so easy, let's see you make it as an award-winning, high paid actor in 5 years. You name should be on movie posters and Netflix trailers. You told me it's easy to succeed as a great actor.
@@EnzoTheBaker because when you don't act in the same way that everyone else does you are a more interesting watch. Plenty of other things like LUCK more than anything as well as face shape, height, etc. also play a role. The camera has to love or, at least, like you. That's not true for a lot of people even if they're great actors.
I freakin Luv Russell Crowe to pieces seen alot of his movies which are exceptional! My all time fave so far is GLADIATOR! The best...Stay Blessed Maximus ❤
The Stanislavski method is precisely not to act but to become the role
Thank you for this insight
And it is deeply problematic as such. Numerous actors have traumatised themselves through using it. It can have great results, but it's also really costly, especially when you can also get great results by imagining and pretending.
@@hadorstapaok, ok, now try and rewrite this with more feeling, as if the method actually killed or ruined the love of your life. Aaaand, action!
@@frankrigal3763 lol!
@@hadorstapa at Brando, Newman, Deniro, Pacino etc...? You may laugh alone.
Gorgeous Russell!! ❤👏👏
When he mentioned an Olivier quote I thought he was going to say, ‘Why don’t you try acting?’
Me too, that's a brilliant story.
His violin and cello playing, which he learned for the part, is outstanding in Master and Commander. A truly great actor. Olivier was right, 'learn your lines and hit your marks'.
