Tom Hanks is truly a master at delivering emotion, and making the audience feel the same emotions and investment in the character. The last 5 minutes of Captain Phillips convinced me.
the final five minutes of captain Philips is the best acting of his career
Mark Daly
Agreed! I felt I had gone through everything he had just cause of his acting
He's well suited for those sorts of characters including playing the lead in "Sulley" which came out quite recently.
@@markdaly2406 Absolutely, the way he completely falls apart emotionally in the sick bay, just at the point in the film where's he's actually OUT of danger for the 1st time, that was so real it really moved me. I've never seen that from Hanks, and I thought it was totally realistic as well - he's a ship's captain, he's trained to hold it together when he and his crew are in danger; it's when the danger ends that he lets it all go, and there's so much to let it go of, it really overwhelms him even though the danger is past -- but your emotional brain doesn't think that logically. He can't hear the nurse saying "You're OK now", because it doesn't match what his emotional brain is telling him. To be able to "go there" emotionally when I bet Hanks has never been in a real-life situation like that, that really showed me something.
It’s called pathos
I think it's important to remember what Zoe said about the actor not having much power in a film. Reminds us to be humble and appreciate what we have achieved as a title holder and not rely on fame alone
Dear Ella Yes, she's spot on with the comment on how significant the editing is. When I was so convinced I did a terrible job in a student film a few years back, I was aghast at how well the editing made it, almost like a magic trick.
So humble, yet appreciate what we have achieved..which is pretend stuff...great
Leonardo's answer brought tears to my eyes.
+onegirlrev me too
+onegirlrev yeh it was pitiful i agree!
What Leo says about acting is EXACTLY how I feel about being an actor
But you are not an actor
This is a really cool glimpse to the real souls of these megastars. Normally when we see them it's either in a role, or talking about a role, or just doing light chit-chat on some morning show. Rarely do you see them being both serious, and themselves.
Check out the off camera show with Sam Jones. Alot of stuff like that
I'm such a dweeb but I almost teared up watching this because these people are expressing into words how i feel about acting and they are pretty much explaining the reason why I love it so much because it's not about making the voices, memorizing the lines, the way you say a certain word, it's so much more than that and I love it.
Izz G really hope you get to live out your dreams
I feel that same way that Leonardo DiCaprio felt when he was 14 or 15, I’ve been watching classic and old movies since I was little, and I was always saying to myself, “I want to do that, I want to be that”, and it always had this effect on me where I normally act like I’m in a movie and when I act in front of a camera and mirror, I show these emotions that I never felt before. I’ve always had this dream of becoming an actress, but I never really got my foot in the door yet because I don’t think any casting director or agent would want some girl with no acting experience or credits.
Ben Stiller looks so good here! Not a wrinkle on his face. I love these actors so smart and interesting to listen to
Olivia Coleman and Leo were the best actors in this vid imo
i just wish i could meet with some of actors and have a really good conversation like this with them in person...it is an amazing job and really interesting to know about the acting, experience and the different approaches and what it really takes to be an actor, which is not as easy as it may seem
I recently was in the play Love Letters. As a writer, director and producer, hats off to all actors. You are not acting, you are pulling into your real emotions. Just from the rehearsals for the play, my entire body was shaking from having to access and experience the emotions I was presenting. I want to thank all of you for giving so much to people, so much more than the average person can understand. Thank you for the joy and connecting to your audience. I love all of you so much! Marguerite Fair.
This is so enlightening to hear as a writer.
You want to be a writer?
Wes m Yes, I'm actually finishing my first novel.
+CJ Miller congratulations!
wow! seing tom cruise so calm and down to earth really is something new !
Maybe he takes meds now.
Leonardo 😍😍😍😍😍
Kristin Scott Thomas' message rings with me!! thanks! I struggle with that because doing the same thing is more efficient at times :P
Kristin Scott Thomas
hit the nail on the head...
about the Theatre... I have always
believed if you could do Stage work...
then being in front of the camera will be
easier... instead of an actor of film, then
going to stage...
It is like when I used to ride horses... I rode
English (jumping etc) then when I went to Western
riding (Barrels, pole bending etc) it was easier...
... but was was really hard was when I was a jockey and
road race horses... I was glad I had ridden English...
In other words, as an actor and a Acting Director, do not
"Pigeon hole" yourself... Learn everything about all aspects
of Stage and Film... especially Improv.
LOVED watching this. A great source for upcoming actors!
I think I started to watch Hollywood movies at age 4 or 3, and I've had the same answer of becoming an actor as DiCaprio since that. Tom Cruise also but mostly DiCaprios! This video is amazing, telling their opinions and like Ben Stiller who's telling what acting is really all about and what to think before you enter a role. Thank you Film4video!
Fassbender and Scott Thomas...love everything that they do on screen
Haha hearing Saoirse Ronan made me laugh because i didn't expect her to have such a Dublin accent, was lovely to hear though :)
This was FABULOUS! It is very interesting hear what these professionals have to say about the work they put into their art. Thank you VERY MUCH for sharing this.
If a movie were made with Bill O'Reilly as a side character, Tom Hanks should be Bill O'Reilly XD
This is great. Particularly Kristin Scott Thomas, Ben Stiller + Leo. Thanks.
Wow, love this so much.
I love acting
I saw Fassbender and I lost my train of thought.
this are the people who gives HOPE to people like us and other to live their life and start doing because if you have DREAM something like this then my friend anything is possible...... #ActorDream #MakeMeFamous
Natalie is so fantastic
This is so amazing!
Michael Fassbender such an inspiration
Listening to the best!
amazing stuff :)
I don't know why, but I find Ben Stiller very attractive.
This is amazing every way. So many thx.
I'd love to see Scarlett Johansson & Kristin Scott Thomas in another movie together! First movie that I first discovered Scarlo J ❤️
Olivia Colman 😊
Tom Cruise
No startling revelations here but it provides a very brief kind of glimpse into what these actors are influenced by or might find inspirational and what knot.
I thought Keira Knightley showed up two times, it took me 10 seconds to realize Natalie Portman was there.
+Ylai Jah I also get them mixed up sometimes haha!
Really fantastic
hey... Anne Hathaway with hair !
Here’s a like :)
Why do you guys have to pick out race and ethnicity of actors? I dont believe this is intended to be discriminatory in any way. Its just demonstrating the various perspectives of different actors. Just watch and enjoy the video.
I think acting is purely a natural talent, I have an argument but it takes quite a while to type
***** And this is when it gets complicated, I cant be bothered typing but i was hoping that someone could do it for me, preferably a failed actress like lance reddick who could only get an award for playing a terminator
***** i dont think so
C'mon man, spit it out
Acting is showing your humanity, it also takes guts.
Pete Thats a good start pete, but there is only one thing missing from that
My favorite actors are Johnny Depp, Robert de Niro, Christian Bale. And yours?
I'd like to see interviews about actors' views about white-washing. ie: Scarlet Johanson in Ghost in the Shell as a Japanese anime. Please. I feel like Asians are close to invisible in this industry.
Not only are there small amount of GOOD roles (not the lady in the back selling noodles), but those GOOD roles are taken by people of other race!!
I find it ironic that here in the west everyone is so upset by a white person playing an asian cartoon character, but in Japan, no one finds it offensive and some even say she was a good choice.
SX1995able I think it's because in the West, the society is VERY diverse, and it has a lot of hard working ethnic actors.... So people get upset when that isn't acknowledged and 'society' disregards people of colour.... Over in Japan, maybe it's the case too, but not as diverse as the west.....
megpy95 As a Thai person, I've known that Asians are highly-underrepresented in the industry for a long time. But with the "Ghost in the Shell" adaptation with Scarlett Johansson, I wonder if it's because the studio was afraid to green light it without a major star in the leading role. Because there are no major female Japanese or even any major AAA-level female Asian star working, they just went with a white actress. So basically, major movies won't cast unknown Asian actors, so those hardworking people can't gain the exposure and experience needed to be cast in marquee films.
They are actors plays Marvel Character in MCU.
Anne Hathaway is Amora the Enchantress
Natalie Portman is Jane Foster
Andrew Garfield is Johnny Storm/Human Torch
Tom Hiddleston is Loki Laufeyson
Brie Larson is Carol Danvers/Captain Marvel
Tom Hiddleston's answer was actually pretty smart.
Yea it was. He is an amazing bloke and actor.
Prize for the most pretentious too!
+Snatch What, don't you like to do 3D archeology in the mine shaft of collective human experience?
4:08 this guy never overacts
KST for the win.
Am I the only one who thought that Anne Hathaway was English?
Michael Gilmore the name
It was the name of Shakespeare's wife
1. Natalie Portman
2. Anne Hathaway
3. Saoirse Ronan
4. Zoe Salanda
What about kiera knightley ?
aaziis Nah, too boney for my taste.
John Wesson Well okay . My favorites are Anne Hathaway and Natalie Portman .
Hey guys,I am begginer and I want to share with you guys my created Hans Zimmer - No Time For Caution music video.Thank you for watching! :)
Fassy
Thay saved the best for the last no offense on anyone else's opinion on the other actors they are all very good
5:40 career success based exclusively on a philosophy we’re about to hear
I'm 20 years old and only have a bare minimal of acting (doing some skits with friends). How do I become a good actor ?
You have to have the right looks. So you have to find what suits you best. And dig that like hell.
Abraham Potts education my friend join a local theatre do workshops branch out and meet new people you'll learn so quickly and you will just strive and strive
Get some professional training whether it be independent acting classes or a college course. Always be training. Find monologues, memorize, practice, and then perform in front of family or friends. To get some acting experience under your belt either sign up with a theater group or look for student films being advertised looking for actors, etc. Must get head shots done.
1. 3 bag lunches for 100 struggling people - at the awards place Oscars... during the year... contact E.T. ...2. nursing homes, cottages, name on list years ahead, choices: get pamphlets, bring awards, small items to hand out, some seeds to plant, some special lotions you... some good times ahead... some friends there... ask for a walk every day... enjoy some pampering. 3. thanks for the reassurance to a happy struggling writer... who is many days drive away... from California.
Thanks for your help today..... big smiles... I felt and hope you smile later.
umm ok, I think that Zoe Saldana (aka 'the token black chic') gave the realest response. Actors don't have that much control...at least not in motion films...the directors and editors and producers do.
Bravo film4 for getting such a diverse cadre of actors. *sarcasm intended*
+TheHoneyAsha agreed. but i think its also based on her experience in working with avatar
I wish you'd found a more diverse range of actors to interview.
Hiddlestone morphing into Nicholas Craig!
nice
I see a lot of comments about the lack of people of color. For perspective, the black population of the United States is about 12%. That is about 1 in 8. Do you think that half of the actors should be black in the interview? One black actress out of 19 people is a bit below that average. If there had been 3 black actors that would have been above the average. What is the problem?
If they had Denzel, Lupita Nyongo, Sam Jackson, Morgan Freeman, Salma Hyek, Viola Davis, Irrfan Khan, Michelle Yeoh, and Graham Greene instead of some of the white actors, nobody would be saying "Hey, why are white people so underrepresented"? Nobody. Least of all white people. It wouldn't even come up.
Not onlly that, why are people always divided into white and people of color? There are many variations of "color". Why do all non white people get lumped together? Are they not allowed to be separate and distinct?
You know, I take back something I said above. If the video had a majority of people of color and only a few white actors there WOULD be some white people upset. Neo Nazis and Klan members. That is who would be upset. Normal white people wouldn't be upset. It is likely that people in the comment section here who comment on the lack of representation are racist bigots themselves.
We should be listening to what the actors say. Not focusing on their skin color. I'm white and I couldn't care less if there wasn't a single white actor in the video. I care if they have something interesting to say. I don't need them to share my skin color in order to identify with them. I can identify with human beings, regardless of skin color, because they are human beings.
End of rant.
There should be more people from different races in these top hollywood roles. Yes there are many people from different races that have big roles, but no as much as there should be.
Natalie
480p
You know?
Olga… goddess…
Does anyone know a youtube page similar to Film4
Jason and kshmr both having same voice 🤣🤣
8:13 -> Daniel Day-Lewis is the best.
leo really doesnt say anthing
The absurdity of editing Ben Stiller next Judy Dench in a documentary about acting...
Why is this only 10 minutes long?
very interesting because sometime we think than we can act just like that but is a very different story when they give u a scrip and tell u hey memorize all this by next month and then u r like for real and then to make it worse u think u are playing a wonderful role and all u doing is playing a role of a drag queen or a guy just selling hot dogs in a conner
Why are ben stiller talking?
as an asian actor i dont know if ill have a chance.
is my acting good ( I AM THE BLOND ONE NOT THE BLACK HAIRED)
I prefer Alexander Technique
over what?
Over Everything...
great elaboration from your previous statment
Aah The Irish Accent is weirdly arousing
Does Michael talk sorta american in here? Or is that just me?
benaddictforlife he has a mixed accent. there's a bit of german/swiss in there sometimes
Yeah i know but i just thought he sounded so american in this ;)
I think I only saw one person of color, correct me if I'm wrong. So tired of this, no diversity what so ever in films these days. that's why they're so boring. Fast and furious made a ton of money for a reason
F&F made money because of the action and fx, not the acting. This is a collection of actors talking about their craft and is pulled together from segments filmed when they were being interviewed about films they were in. I love Vin Diesel and would love to meet him, but even as someone who dabbles in acting, I don't think talking to him about how he approaches a role will be top of my list of things to ask him.
Sal sam I do agree we need more people of color but most of them don't take challenging roles which is why they stay missing out on opportunities like this. Yes there are a few who take on more serious roles but its the same few in every single movie (Will Smith and Samuel L. Jackson for example). A blue eye white male actor died, that is why F7 did so well, for the most part. Let's not forget how people pretend to care for entertainers after they die. If I become an actress (hypothetically speaking) I swear I wouldn't take typical black roles. I'm not saying none whites don't miss opportunities because of their color its just not the case most of the time. I do find it odd how some films can have hundreds of people in it but only a few blacks, now that calls for questioning.
Fast and furious made money because average audiences like that kind of bullshit. Since when money means quality? Also every film nowadays boring? Bitch you need to watch more cinema great cinema not just hollywood movies. Should they have all black actors so you could say they are being diverse? Also a film's quality is made because of the filmmaking not because of the race of the actors. The fact that you said Fast and furious as an example and you called every film "boring"(which is bullshit) makes me realize that you are one of those people that find everything that isn't explosions and chase sequences "boring" I'm sure you call every film of contemplative cinema "boring" fuck you!
I could name you a ton of great recent films that I'm pretty sure you haven't even heard about. Boring? Hahahahaha
There are so many african american actors out there and to a certain degree i agree about "misrepresentation" but the fact that only one was here doesn't say much really.
Acting is not hard
Yep!
At least one black person,,,one so i can take in what they are saying...
"im really interested in challenges" yap yap yap
whine whine
self opinionated waaaa waaaaa waaaaaa
Christ!
Tom Hiddleston's answer was actually pretty smart.
