    I'm more proud of this video than the one I did before. This one was more difficult for me to edit, but I like how some parts turns out. I can spot some mistakes and I simply didn't corrected them because, as I said, it was a difficult video to edit and I didn't want to start it from the beggining all over again.

    This is so cool - thanks for posting. It's striking, because watching the TV show - while I completely adore Jessica Lange and think she is one of the greatest actresses of our time - the fact that she is a few years older than Ms. Crawford was at this period has made me think that her at times somewhat haggard appearance does a certain injustice to Ms. Crawford. But seeing them side by side, she actually looks YOUNGER than Crawford! It is clear that she is 'acting,' while Ms. Crawford is just speaking, but it is a movie (television show) after all, and acting is what she's being paid to do. Brava!

  • @JasonMovieGuy
    @JasonMovieGuy 7 лет назад +9

    Davis came closest to winning her third Oscar for All About Eve (1950), but because she split votes with costar Ann Baxter, she lost to Judy Holliday. It's still considered a huge upset since All About Eve won Best Picture, and certainly wouldn't have been the success it was without Davis's enormous contribution.
    1962 had a very strong list of nominees, but if Bancroft hadn't won the rumor was that Katharine Hepburn had it in the bag - giving what many critics deemed her best performance to date in Long Days Journey into Night. Davis is a hoot in Baby Jane, but the competition was just too stiff. Crawford's acceptance for Bancroft was very malicious indeed.

The career of actor is : acting like it is real, but adapt and give your own energy, your own personality, your own soul and art.

    Only thing I don't like about Lange's portrayal of Joan is the voice and some of the mannerisms. Lange adds a strange southern twang to Joan's character. I don't know if it's intentional or not, but she sounds too much like Constance/Fiona from AHS. The real Joan was also very graceful and poised. Lange makes her more sloppy. IMO, the best portrayal of Joan was Faye Dunaway, even though Mommie Dearest got horrible ratings.

    Jessica Lange only knows how to act in one way. The Jessica Lange way. I liked her on AHS. I thought she was a brilliant actor but in Feud I don't see her as Joan Crawford, I see her as Jessica Lange. The acting, demeanour, the breathless dialogue delivery is all Jessica Lange. She hasn't even captured the essence of Joan Crawford as is very apparent in this video. Agree to disagree but she has failed miserably in Fued. Susan Sarandon on the other hand has done a much better job as Bette Davis. Of course she can't compare with the legend that was Bette Davis but I somewhat see glimpses of Bette in Susan's portrayal of Bette which is sadly not the case with Jessica.

First, I understand what people is saying- Jessica really does love to play an extreme emotional and depressed character, but somehow she always manage to bring humanity to the character, which is very hard. Second, playing a real-life character is not about sound or look like he/she ( it matters on a certain level) but to capture the spirit and the personality of the character. To be honest, Faye Dunaway's performance in mommie dearest is way too dramatic. Faye's voice and facial expression are way too overdone. And finally, what the hell?! Who gives a fuck about your opinion when Miss Lange has already won 2 oscars, 5 golden globes, 3 emmys, 1 Sag and 1 Tony,who gives a fuck about your opinion on her acting?!

    I'm glad they did the side-by-side. Jessica Lange did as good a job as anyone can do, but sometimes there's just no imitating the original. My biggest complaints are that Jessica is 11 years older than Joan was at the time of this video, so she simply looks and sounds older. Also, Joan had a somewhat deeper, more relaxed and demure speaking voice. Jessica played her with a high-pitched, shrill tone throughout most of the series.

      I'm pretty much in agreement here. I keep seeing these "so many negative comments, I'm disappointed" but all I see scrolling is "Jessica Lange is amazing!" and nothing else. I liked Feud initially but on closer examination it just falls apart. Its good but could have been great - and pointing that out does not in and of itself amount to "hate"

    Joan's energy was much more masculine. Lange has softened her I think out of empathy.

    • @KayGri
      @KayGri 7 лет назад +38

      I think Jessica has done a wonderful job of bringing light and shade to Joan. There are moments in the show where that 'tough bitch' persona absolutely shines through ("Fuck you, Marty") and then there are times where she allows Joan's vulnerability take the spotlight. Joan was a complicated woman but she was not a cold hard bitch the entire time, I think Jessica softened her to bring the humanity of her to the audience.

      MrMalibupj Actually Joan was more poised
      Yeah, her voice was darkened from all of the smoking and drinking throughout the years. The thing I don't understand about Joan is why she changed her looks...? In the 30's and early 40's she was a beautiful woman...the eyebrows and shoulder pads are atrocious.

    • @MrMalibupj
      @MrMalibupj 7 лет назад +6

      Her designer thought exaggerating her naturally large shoulders would de-emphasize them - creating the illusion of small girl in large clothing. The eyebrows were an abused makeup trend at the time. Those brows are drawn on 14 yr old bloggers now. Joan was always butch and grew even more so in her middle years.

    @chrisallen7911 3 года назад +3

    I wish the producers of the show had tried to be more authentic in their Joan Crawford appearance. Joan never had her hair black after the early WW2 days. Her hair in the 1950s and 1960s was a blondish red. At this time in her life she was wearing heavy highlights and wore elaborate hairstyles. Joan always wore the finest and best of clothes, hats, purses, and shoes and her accessories were legendary. I personally do not like Jessica Lange's Joan Crawford. The worst thing is her voice is nothing like Joan who had a deep cultured often whispery voice like Jackie Kennedy when she was performing. Joan was a commanding presence and filled a room when she entered. In Jessica's defense, Joan is an almost hard act to follow.

    I'm enjoying the campy feud. Joan Crawford and Bette Davis were both remarkable. Each of them had amazing careers. And I suspect both were ultimately sad individuals, however fascinating. JC's childhood and background was strait out of Dickens. That she became what she became and sustained as long as she did is a triumph; regardless of how she got there. As far as her acting, she did do good work and wasn't just a movie star. Mildred Pierce, A Woman's Face, Possessed, Sudden Fear, The Women, Humoresque - all strong performances. Studied; driven, pure determination & will drove her skill sets to improve especially in the 40's. Bette, was a very talented stage actress who transitioned to film. A great talent less interested in the being the Star on the surface, yet very much the Star in her real life. Lange is good and Sarandon is good. Neither are perfectly cast but they actually are both delivering restrained performances. Btw, for those of you who think SS has not had work done on her face, I would love to sell you some bonds i have in my drawer. It is obvious both of these actresses have had work done, albeit SSs work is very good. Enjoy the ride everyone; skip the need to compare and contrast in a way that is demeaning. Both JL and SS are brilliant. Both JC and BD were fascinating.

    • @windstorm1000

      you are right about both actresses--they despised each other--and yet they both had a lot in common than either would cared to admit: their work/careers were all that mattered to them. they were sisters under the skin--also they were both aries--fiery and strong willed.

    It's kind of crazy for Bette to think that Joan could have influenced enough people to vote for Ann Bancroft instead of her. Bette Davis was awesome as Baby Jane, but the Academy usually leans toward roles like "Ann Sullivan" in the "Miracle Worker." *And Bancroft was amazing in that part, and just as deserving.

    Lange and Sarandon are doing excellent work. However, this show has caused me to go back and watch interviews from Crawford and Davis. Neither current actress is actually that close to the originals. OK, Sarandon has similar eyes but other than that they are doing their own impressions of Crawford and Davis... that doesn't really look or sound much like them. That said, both deserve Emmys. It is VERY hard to portray an actual person because you open yourself up to this kind of comparison and you can't duplicate them.

    Joan's mind really amazes me. She wanted to announce the 'Best Director' because she knew that Robert Aldrich (Baby Janes's director who ate Joan's due and put Bette on the film forward compared to Joan. He gave Bette more screen time and shined her) isn't nominated. She read the nominations so happily like reminding everyone that Robert isn't one of them and lef the stage holding hand with that year's director winner. And... Best Actress. "Ms. Cr... Ms. Bancroft said.." I mean, her mind. What an elite way to remind whole world to she deserved that year and what a great way to piss Bette Davis. She manipulated Oscar, Bette and Robert in her smart way. God, I adore this woman.

    To me what's important is that #JessicaLange and #SusanSarandon portray #JoanCrawford and #BetteDavis with enough truth to who they were in real life. Joan and Bette were(and still are)legendary icons, but they were also women fighting for to keep their careers alive. So of course nobody could ever truly look exactly like Bette and Joan, but Jessica and Susan are doing their jobs(as legends in their own right) to pay homage and celebrate Bette and Joan!!!!..

    Jessica Lange is superb actress but I just dont get Crawford from her. Crawford was 58 in 1962 and Lange here is 67,vocally they were very different, Sarandon who is same level as Lange as actress nailed Davis her way of speaking her vocal tone, even tho she is older too but Davis looked older then she actually was and she was younger than Crawford because she was never obsessed about her looks as Crawford, Dietrich and other screen legends.
