Geez , we'll have to wait another TWENTY years to get your review of same year BAFTA winners James McAvoy & Tom Hardy!! =D
Now I understand why Gary was so good playing that white 'Jamacian' drugdealer gangster in TRUE ROMANCE another of my favs of his with Christian Slater
Daniel is tired of acting but we never get enough of him...
It makes me wish that he wasn't as selective in roles. I bet he could have phoned in some acting and still won best actor. He is that good.
Daniel Day-Lewis has never been 'tired' of acting. It's all about his devotion to his characters and preparation for the roles. He's married and has three sons. Wouldn't it be hard for you to lead the life of a lonely man dedicated only to his acting career and feeling as anyone but not himself all the time (he is extremely aware of loneliness because it's been chasing him for years)?
Daniel Day-Lewis has to take the #1 spot on my list of favorite/greatest actors. Thanks for the vid. I never knew the parallels of Gary Oldman and Lewis's careers. Pretty cool.
Oldman is my favorite actor to this day. When Sirius black died I balled at the movie bc it was Gary. Lol in the book I didn’t cry but seeing him I did. I love him as an actor esp as Sid.
Same!!!! Gary Oldman is my favorite!
Gary Oldman's performance as Beethoven in Immortal Beloved was amazing.
Daniel Day Lewis is in my top 10 but Gary Oldman is and will always be my number one... my best and favourite actor of all time !
Welcome 2 the club
Oldman is a genius,
I sincerely believe that Gary Oldman is the greatest actor of all time. each and every performance is memorable yet almost chameleonic. Obviously, gone are the days of Orson Welles or Marlon Brando or the last true great being De Niro, and since then no other American actor has really overtaken them, although I'll give Joaquin Phoenix and Sam Rockwell a shot, but many British actors have outdone them IMO.
I also think that DDL is arguably the 2nd greatest ever after Gary Oldman. I say 2nd greatest because he is still recognizable which Gary Oldman simply isn't. Gary Oldman just withers away into his character.
While I can see the argument for Oldman being the best you are completely wrong about DDL being recognizible within his characters, indeed the main reason why I consider him to be the best actor is because you cant look at his roles and say "ah yes thats DDL performance" as you can for almost any other actor.. atleast all Ive seen.
@@wenixandqwert His acting is the most intense I've ever seen . Although Gary also has the same intensity, but DDL takes it to another level. In an interview he revealed that he read around 100 books to play Lincoln. If you see his expression during acting you can guess the emotion even if the scene is played at random. His mastery over accent which I would consider close to Gary is also one of the reason why I think he is the greatest.
Gary is also one of my fav and for me he is one of the greatest actors of all time. The reason is his versatility,the delivery of dialogues , accent and his portrayal of not just emotions but the characters where no emotions can be predicted like Stansfield in Leon the professional.
You should go watch some of De Niro’s best stuff, Raging Bull, Taxi Driver, Deer Hunter, all those movies Niro does all the stuff you like about Oldman, but even better.
That’s kind of nonsense
Oldman is a great actor but he’s not the greatest. Marlon Brando, Al Pacino, Robert De Niro are all better.
I think this discussion is futile
With all due respect... Who r we to discuss who is the best actor... We should just be grateful to have witnessed these great actors
I’m very impressed with your research. Some amazing, rare images and facts. Thank you!
Gary Oldman will always be my #1..... No one comes close to his brilliance, he's every top actor's favorite actor.
Actually there was an opportunity for Oldman to be part of The Bounty along side Day-Lewis. Mel Gibson, Anthony Hopkins and Liam Neeson all in one movie. I went to a Q and A years ago where Oldman said he was almost in the movie but his ego got the better of him. What a shame.
I don't think it was a shame. It was the year that Oldman had won an award for his stage performance and he'd preferred to work at the theater with less money instead of getting an apartment for a cameo in a movie 😊
DDL and Oldman were supposed to be co-leads in 'Rosencrantz & Guildenstern Are Dead' (1990), but DDL suffered a nervous breakdown during a 1989 run of 'Hamlet' and stepped away from acting for three years. He was replaced by Tim Roth. /watch?v=driYdJ95HHs&t=10m53s
@@jpalvarez4972 There was also a rumour years ago that the two of them were possibly going to work on an (unfinished or even unstarted?) script/ production of a Led Zep/Peter Grant biopic. Malcolm McLaren was involved. It was around the time of Dracula/Mohicans for both of them. I never ever heard it mentioned again but it was in the British tabloid gossip columns at the time (circa 1992-93??) I would love to have seen that come to fruition. Imagine - Oldman, Day-Lewis and Led Zep!! Wow!
@@braybay433 darn and they'd both be using their native accents😭
@@jpalvarez4972 No fucking way I wish that would have happened. Their chemistry would have been unmatched
Gary Oldman is the best.
THOSE TWO ARE MAGNIFICENT!!😉😊ACTORS IN HOLLYWOOD!😉😊
This channel always has the best videos on my favorite actors and films. Much appreciated
YKFB you have really gone to town on the amount of research and work in this video! Thanks for sharing!
Imagine if these two played in a movie together!
yes like Heat with Pacino and DeNiro - but a film written by Guy Ritchie
They almost did. DDL backed out of 'Rosencrantz & Guildenstern' due to stress.
@@Tiber234 Not Guy Ritchie. Maybe Nolan or Mendes.
Would be like a Pacino/De Niro Heat
Seeing them opposite of each other in a movie would be EPIC!!!
Was supposed to happen in 'Rosencrantz & Guildenstern Are Dead' (1990). DDL succumbed to stress and was replaced by Tim Roth.
Thank you for an interesting and informational video. I am a fan of both men, but particularly of Oldman. I have always respected the quality of everyman, the pithiness and earthiness of many of Oldman's portrayals. By comparison I have often found Lewis's roles a tad too posh for my sensibilities. That being said and curiously enough, Lewis's characterization of the backwoodsman 'Hawkeye' in the "Last of the Mohicans" was tremendous and made that visually stunning film along with its lush score, one of the most memorable of my life. The roles that I have enjoyed of Oldman's are almost too numerous to mention. His remarkable portrayal of 'Count Dracula' in Francis Ford Coppola's "Bram Stoker's Dracula", his role as master spy 'George Smiley' in "Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy" and his work as police commissioner Gordon, in the Christopher Nolan's 'Batman' trilogy, have to top the list of my favorites.
Oldman deserved more recognition, he is so talented (a chameleon) that he is not famous, what a irony
Gary Oldman looks like a nice guy to hang with Daniel Lewis just scares me when I saw There will be blood he just scared me in that role.
Marcel Zachary yeah- he was pretty intense in that role lol
Who needs to watch leon ,everyone
*EEHVERY ONE* !!
@@klyanadkmorr yep
Imagine Oldman starring in there will be blood
Probably the only actor that I could see match DDL’s performance. But yeah DDL personified perfect performance in TWBB
Oldman was great in The Professional
Both are chameleons, and you can compare them on that front. Gary's got the bigger and more diverse resume, so he's the better actor (and probably the best actor on the planet rn). Even if DDL's performances are generally more powerful and charismatic, which is why he's my favorite actor.
They are both so close but yeah I feel like I will have to give Oldman the nod just due to having a larger body of work.
Both are very incredible actors!😉❤
DDL's scarce filmography is littered with tiresome Oscar bait. Oldman has said yes to some crap movies, but always elevates lacklustre material and has the more diverse resume of the two. Both are technically skilled and immersive actors, but overall, Oldman's the man.
Even if DDL only made one movie and it was TWBB as Daniel Plainview, I would take that over every single Gary Oldman part. Nothing Gary Oldman has done can get near that performance or approach that level of raw embodiment of a character.
@@tldrMac Nah. DDL embodied Plainview no more than Oldman did Sid Vicious in 'Sid & Nancy'. Oldman *was* Vicious, from the swagger, to the slurred speech, to playing the songs live, to being hospitalised while trying to get to Sid's weight. Difference is, TWBB was *yet another* baity, highbrow DDL vehicle for critics to endlessly perpetuate and wag their dicks to. *Yawn*.
@@jpalvarez4972 that conclusion is hilarious..🤣.
@@tldrMac seems like you dont really now Oldman
F*** out of here. The True Romance role was gratuitous overacting.... I still don't get why everybody nuts up over that particular performance...
1. Daniel Day Lewis; 2. Robert DeNiro; 3. Al Pacino; 4. Philip Seymour Hoffman; 5.Gary Oldman
I’m old man all the way till my dying day
But haven said day Daniel day in my left foot and there will be blood can never be nothing else then acting from another world
Kristy Probert In the name of the father too. Daniel is an amazing actor.
There Will Be Blood is brilliant but My Left Foot is okay.
Gary Oldman is a Chameleon but Daniel day Lewis is water.
Nah mate, DDL WON'T do comedy or action flicks. Oldman is superior because he can do everything DDL does AND MORE.
Don't think DDL is as versatile and natural as Oldman.
😍
@@rodrigoodonsalcedocisneros4419 watch eversmile,new Jersey and stars and bars DDL IS GREATEST
Gary is more versatile but Daniel is better considering other factors.
Thank you, good job.
Oldmans father was never violent towards his mother. He said so in numerous interviews and also that he is very upset about this misinformation still being spread
It has already been said, but both are never playing the same characters in every movie they are in. Even crazier are the change in their accents. Nobody can impersonate the actors themselves. They can only impersonate the characters that they play. The only difference between the actors is Gary Oldman got casted as secondary roles pretty often.
Im wishing gary,daniel,and joaquin in a film
Directed by Paul Thomas Anderson. I still think it could happen if they could convince DDL to make one more comeback and for Gary to hold off retirement
I never compare these two as for me they both are the "Closest thing which an actor came to Brando". They both have their own brilliance and faults. For e.g. DDL appeared in less number of Movies as compare to Gary, Also Gary have hesistated once for a role he didn't able to do which was later done by DDL.
They both have their own brilliance and insecurities, but apart from this they both are Best in their own way.
Also in an interesting way they crossed paths together in their career:- GO didn't do "My Beautiful Launderatte" but later got his breakthrough by "Sid and Nancy".
DDL is actually preferred for the role of "Sid Vicious" in the "Sid and Nancy" but GO won the audition and done that role and he definitely nailed it.
Oldman is superior.
I think Oldman is effortlessly natural and convincing just like Philip Seymour Hoffman. DDL too is very natural but I don't think he's on the same level as Gary Oldman.
Oldy is the GOAT. Nobody touches his diversity.
@@DC-zi6se
That’s what I’ve been saying exactly!
superior in terms of how big his body of work is and how diverse he is..LITERALLY A CHAMELEON..if only DDL wasn't as selective as he is but hey at least he is more towards quality over quantity (like There will be Blood, My Left Foot and In the Name of the Father) but for Oldman, he is like Quantity + Quality, so he is The GOAT to me (my opinion)
I started appreciating Daniel day Lewis I remember after Gangs of New York the only film I had seen of him before was in the name of the father
Both are phenomenally talented as far as immersion into character roles the best! Undeniably people will say brando de niro etc are the best, but imo actors of their calibre still have their residual "isms" de Niro in particular is a stellar actor but you always watching robert de niro the actor, DDL gangs of new New York and oldman leon the professional and true romance i couldn't tell i was watching the actor just totally immersed in their characters, thats why i believe they are the nest of all time
Gary Oldman and Daniel Day Lewis were supposed to play Jules and Vincent in Pulp Fiction!!!
What a coincidence😱 nobody beats Sam Jackson Jules if either one of DDL and Gary Oldman had taken Travolta role maybe the movie would had been better than what we got.Could had won the Oscar that year.
@@Thespeedrap nah, but if you go to think, Sam L Jackson paired proper with Travolta. Idt, he would match that good with DDL or Oldman.
@@AA-sn9lz You never know sometimes studios are right sometimes when it comes to casting.
@@Thespeedrap studios had no part as far as I'm concerned, in Pulp Fiction. It was all Tarantino start to end
I really don't like John Travolta
Daniel Day-Lewis abandoning acting like he abandoned his child and significant other...👀
Isabelle Adjani is notoriously difficult professionally and personally. Day-Lewis has stated, as well as his son Gabriel, that they have a beautiful relationship and are close. Day-Lewis has always been portrayed as a good, decent family man by those who know him, and also by the press. I think maybe you need to check your facts. Sometimes there’s just only so much a person can take and I can see Adjani being the kind of person that would send someone over the edge. Her beauty is beyond description, but apparently her personality? Not so much beauty.
Gary Olman's best films The Firm directed by Alan Clarke and State of Grace
State Of Grace has always been in my top five Oldman performances. The other four are Vicious, Rosencrantz,Dracula and Smiley.
I still like him in "Leon The Professional" and "Sid and Nancy".
The 2 best no one can argue
Winona gets about.
Gary is a better stage actor I mean at improvising and at the expressions
But the whole world knows ddl is the best when it comes to the method approach to any role.
Method acting is the most overrated thing in movie history, most method acting nowadays is caricaturist and doing ridiculous things to just show yourself to the Academy.
It seems people have forgotten why Brando was so heavily revered, it was not because of the so called "method acting" per se, it was because his acting felt "real" and "believable". He was never a huge promotional bandwagon for method acting, more so for "believable" acting.
If method acting were to be the greatest acting achievement, then Lee Strasberg would probably have been the greatest actor of all time.
@Your neighborhood friend
Oh my god thank you!
🙏🏻
South London represent!
Yes. Both are great.
Both are fantastic actors and surprisingly both almost look alike.
They both are chameleons which is why they're so good.
GARY Goat hands down
DDL might have objectively more impressive performances, but I would pick Oldman as my favorite. DDL is one of the greatest dramatic actors, but I can't see him in comedy for example. While Oldman is more diverse he can equally be great in drama and comedy. I mean, Oldman sold the character in the Fifth Element. The character that was wearing a plastic sheet on his head
Maybe you didn't see "A Room with a view" and "Stars and Bars". That's the problem people focused on DDL mainstream movies so much that these Small budget movies of his never came to the light.
Are the tattoos on Daniel's arms real or is he in character (with temporary tattoos)? Please reply.
Real
You can turn pain into a positive or an addiction to a substance. Most of our choices are made for us at that young an age.
Please god he comes back , the best ever
Sid Vicious in Sid and Nancy
I agree, these two actors are the best in the world , I have seen almost all their films ,Gary Oldman has done more films than Daniel, in terms of who's best, I would say Daniel Day Lewis although they're both masters really at taking on voices and transform themselves, Daniel's présence in front of the caméra is more electrifying and has that eablility to move people deeply , in movies such as MY LEFT FOOT AND IN THE NAME OF THE FATHER, when Gary has played mostly villains over the years, which if you also compare Gary's villains as Dracula to Daniel's Bill the butcher or Plainview , I think Daniel brings more subtelty and gravitas to his characters ,I do prefer Daniel it's very subjective point of view I know but Daniel'performances have moved me more ! he is the greatest actor in the world there is no doubt in my mind , even Spielberg said so !!
Gary Oldman is Better Actor
Very debatable, both great.
no,gary is better
@@afnangeographicalsciencesc1848 as much as I know what you mean, he's never done a movie with the same scope as There Will be Blood, Gangs of New York or My Left Foot
gary oldman is an outsider,not a son of any famous writer,actor,singer.I did not see him in any spielberg,scorses,hervey winstons movie.he did francis capolas movie called dracula(oscar wining performance for me,though I hate vampire based creepy movie).he is not hardcore method actor.result of method acting: death of heath ledger....other method actors r weird: like bell,joaquin.....oldman loves to do 3, 4 movies per year.(he loves doing both good movies and bad movies,but not for oscar).his comic timing better than ddl.he is not welcomed by hollyood elite like speilberg,scorses,torentino,woody allen,director of there will be blood and so many.he is poor directors daniel de lewis.
@@afnangeographicalsciencesc1848 I spose but I'm pretty sure that you can't help what you're born into...as for aligning DDL with 'corporate' directors, Coppola is no more or less corporate than Scorsese and not nearly as subversive as Paul Thomas Anderson but I digress, I love them both and to say that one is better than the other is kind of pointless and blaming Method Acting on Heath Legder's death is a bit far fetched...Brando? DeNiro? Again, not disagreeing I love them both.
Have they ever hob nobbed together?
My absolute two favorite actors.💋💋
G.O.A.T. discussions
I doubt DDL will resist a major movie role,maybe,we hope
I always thought someone somewhere with vision and creativity should see the absolute dynamite that would be made if they got these two powerhouse actors together, It would be on a par with De Niro/Pacino Heat/ The Irishman. The Joe Pesci of them would be Tim Roth.
I hope DDL one day comes out of retirement to work with his nemesis GO.
Oldy and DDL were cast as the leads in 'Rosencrantz & Guildenstern'. DDL was suffering from stress and backed out (Tim Roth took the role). And "nemesis"? They have only nice things to say about each other.
The greatests, along with Stellan Skarsgard
First?
In the early 90s they made a "Hamlet" movie with Mel Gibson. I wish they casted Gary Oldman as Hamlet instead.
Yeah I like Mel Gibson a lot but I never saw him as Hamelt. I wish Oldman had done Hamlet and Mel could have done Batman as I felt Gibson was a much better choice over Keaton
Poor guys they missed their calling.
DDL IS GREATEST
Both national treasures...
Two phenomenons
Godamn I forget he made nil by mouth... what a film.
They've both retired from acting a few times...demand is high!💋💋
Oh yeah, for sure Daniel will return to acting. eventually.
Gary's the best though with Daniel day 1/b
True dat.
Gary left acting as well now...
Oldman, coincidentally, is now quite an old man.
Greta Shacky? Jesus.
Gary Oldman was in some good and crappy movies but he was still great in them. Daniel Day-Lewis was mostly in great movies but he had a couple of questionable performances.
Daniel Day-Lewis, is the greatest actor alive! Gary Oldman, is a great character actor but he has a tendency to overact. Day-Lewis as a commited method actor, is far more natural.
Oldman's quirky, "big" style was his way to differentiate himself from RSC peers. It made him a legend. He can be as small as anyone when the time comes. At the same time, DDL can be quite the overactor (see his showdown with Dano in 'Blood').
@@jpalvarez4972 Funny thing. Day-Lewis's performance in ''There Will Be Blood'', is my all time favourite. I don't think Oldman can be small at all. His intense physicality and expressions, give him away every time. That is probably why he was chosen to play so many psychotic and deranged characters, over the years. Check out ''State of Grace'', ''True Romance'', ''Leon''. On the other hand, Daniel Day-Lewis doesn't act. He's it.
@@konstantinospetridis3733 Agree to disagree. Oldy, DDL, Walken et al have an elevated performance style. None are naturalistic in the style of say, a De Niro or Jeff Bridges. Different approaches to acting make cinema more interesting, though.
@wn nfr Hrw On the contrary... Especially Bram Stoker's Dracula proves my point.
@wn nfr Hrw Don't get me wrong. I like Gary Oldman. I just think that Daniel Day-Lewis is the best.
Confirmed again: genius intense actors are shitty persons to live with, lol
Not the best. Sorry.
