all of Knives Out is underrated 😤 it's one of my all-time favorite movies; every single actor and every single set works so well together, the characters are so colorful, and the story is exciting no matter if you've already seen it or not!
I feel similarly about how acting is used in Twin Peaks. Particularly by Leland Palmer's character as a reaction to his daughter's death/his continuing grief. It's jarring, and messy, and real. It feels unsettling at points but soon you understand that grief is a very strong emotion and his reactions fully encapsulate it, even if it seems almost overboard or "too much" at first glance.
I completely agree. I’ve noticed many people’s gripes with Twin Peaks, both the original series and the Return, is the histrionics and over-acting. There is literally the motif of the soap opera, Invitation to Love, to parallel the fact that this style of acting is intentional! It really stylizes the seemingly mundanity of this town, but also brings the audience much closer to emphasizing with the extreme darkness all of these characters are trekking through. The actors who play Leland, Sarah, and Laura do a phenomenal job carrying the trauma of the show, and then characters like Dale, Alfred, and Gordon bring a bureaucratic kookiness, and everyone in-between like Major Briggs, Log Lady, Lucy, Harold, Bobby, Norma all help create the world that is Twin Peaks. Sorry, last thought, but another thing this show does so well is having a fucking massive ensemble cast and yet the audience is so engaged with every single person. It really does make you feel like you’re in a small town where you know everybody’s business, and every actor’s individual performance finalized that.
I want to watch it but I’m scared to do so alone and feel I need to mentally prepare for it the way someone would for an actual psychedelic experience. I’m definitely excited to watch it
@@karabokhanyile I’d say it definitely depends, however my general rule of thumb is good actors can’t save bad writing, but good writing can save bad actors(all of this coming from a teenager who has some entitled self pretension for whatever reason lol)
Well yes, but he said "what makes or breaks a movie". That means that if everything else is mediocre, great music and/or acting can still elevate it to another level. And vice versa. Obviously if writing or direction is bad, these things can't save it, but that's not what he was talking about.
@@kang_lee_ I actually think it's the exact opposite. Bad acting makes people tune out of a well written movies, and Great Acting makes people praise bad films. Bohemian Rhapsody & Joker are both poorly written films that were elevated by good lead performances.
I feel like a more accurate term may be melodrama. At least as an actor, over acting feels like it implies too much when in actuality, the extreme emotions and sensitivity to stimuli is just what’s right for the part. Moreover, melodrama has a history as a term when describing acting, particularly in reference to the move from melodrama to realism during the 19th century. It harkens back to historical modes of acting in which giving in to the totality of emotion and letting yourself commit to an extent that it hits people right in their emotional centers were the norm. So, while over acting may be useful for cinema critics, if you’re an actor interested in this concept, look into forms of melodramatic performance!
Mandy is a cinematic masterpiece. Nic Cage was excellent and he also matched the insane tone of the film effortlessly with his insane acting and emotional range. I hope we see more roles like this suited for him and more of panos's visions put to screen.
I watched Mandy and, more recently, Hereditary. Both were such great movies. But for some reason I didn't think of the overacting in the latter, whereas it felt very noticeable in Mandy. Cage really channels the insane state that his character has landed in to a high extent.
Most people who speak at a normal or slightly higher voice register will sound like Shapiro if you speed them up on account of the warping effect the speed has that Shapiro somehow naturally possesses.
I did 3 years of performing arts as a degree through college and thank you for giving overacting credit. Way too many of my classmates wanted to be stoic and shakesperian, even during comedy pieces that whenever some students, including myself, would go further for a performance, they'd shut you down instantly. The only problem is that in theatre you have to overact or you come off as boring.
need more content on how good stories can be derailed by bad sound, whether that's bad ADR (like Twister), straight up bad production audio, horrible effects or the most heinous: misused score/bad music
This must be one of the most enjoyable videoeseys I've ever seen. (Even out of all of yours) I have had this conversation many many times, overacting is in my opinion masterpiece, dancing on a very thin line, which can either make the film or absolutely break it.
I can't say I agree with your point about Toni Collete and Nic Cage. To use the rubber band analogy, overacting is when the rubber band snaps. Some scenes just require explosivness and intensity from the actors. If it's well calculated, then it can't be overacting. Overacting is a miscalculation and expressing more than needed.
I’m not going to lie, the brilliance of Toni Collette is that her performances don’t even feel like over acting because of how natural they are. It feels perfectly called for
I just watched Mandy for the first time late last night and was really surprised by how much I enjoyed it. I need to experience it with an audience some day soon!
i really enjoyed this video man. I love how you brought the analyzation of shaggy after hereditary. Perfect balance. And of course, I love what you bring to YT. Thank you.
"Overacting" is, to me, kind of a dumb term that seems to imply that there is some baseline, "correct", way to act. If you as the viewer think the actor has successfully communicated whatever it is that is being communicated, then that's it. Everybody's different, of course. If you said you liked Gary Oldman in "Mank!" and I said I thought he acted like what a High School theatre kid's idea of a drunk person was, then that's okay. We all have different standards and preferences. Not sure why I felt like commenting on this, because I never comment. If I'm entertained, regardless of whether or not a performance is "good" or "bad", that's all I really care about.
I mean if there wasn't a general rule about art and it was completely subjective then Martin Scorsese and Kubrick wouldn't have been called the greatest directors, Da Vinci the greatest painter etc
@@adityanair6554 I mean a league of directors can only be called the greatest. If a teenager calls Russo brothers the greatest then they are simply dumb. Like any budding filmmaker would prove them why they are wrong. Now about acting, good acting is something which resonates with human beings, which feels human. And if the character itself isn't a relatable one then good acting is what makes it relatable or makes us feel that that character would be more or less like how it is being portrayed in the movie. We can always make paradoxical statements like this but imo there is a staple in art.
@@adityanair6554 Many formulae can be used. Art is art. It's comparable. There are reasons why there are good artists and bad artists. If it was all subjective then everybody would have been doing something in art. Art needs to be palatable. For eg. Robert De Niro, Al Pacino, Jack Nicolson, Tom Hanks, Joaquin Phoenix etc. can be the no. 1 actors for different people. But if somebody calls Noah Centineo their no. 1 actor then it's ofcourse a result of ignorance. Art is good and bad or all these reviewers, critics etc. would be for nothing. Everything can be taken from that nihilistic mindset.
But... She is underrated? Yes, she gets talked about A LOT amongst the people that do know of her but considering what an AMAZING actress she is, she's not a household name in the same light as most other A-list celebrities these days. A lot of average people who don't care too much about cinema would have her name go over their heads unless you were like "that woman who played that character from that movie"
Honestly they're just eccentric characters in positions that aren't really day to day, Jack is well a pirate who likes a drink, wonka is a chocolate... (what's the damn word) with it seems trauma around family. The characters themselves are eccentric so 'overacting' is right for the roles
This video just made me realize I have a love for overacting. Ive been naming Matthew Lillard, Nic Cage, and Toni Collette among my top 10 favorite performers for years. I've never thought to connect the way they form character.
You missed out on (if we're talking about television) Bryan Cranston; how he too used overacting in Malcolm In The Middle for comedic effect, and how used it as a driving force in Breaking Bad, to give a compelling and layered performance. Also, if we talk about comedy in television, Matthew Perry, and David Schwimmer majorly used farce for reactions to make them funny.
I have to fundamentally disagree with your definition of "overacting"; when characters are experiencing heightened emotional states, or traumatic reactions, to not perform them as such would be "underacting" and, conversely, when playing emotionally neutral, or subdued, states to play everything with heightened emotional affectations would be "overacting", unless, in both cases, it was for comic effect (as noted).
Me and some friends were getting drunk and watching Mandy and between each of my depressing breakdowns I'd look over at the tv, smile, and say "I Love Mandy!"
This video would have profited immensely from doing some research. The word you were looking for is “vaudeville” and it’s a type of performance that emerged during the early days of theater.
Honestly a rly good example of overacting is The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly. Every side character overacts. Also the sound is absolutely great and soundtrack not to mention the cinematography
I dont think anyone was able to extract more out of his actors than Stanley Kubrick, a lot if it leads to overacting but he captures the energy so well. in Cinema Tylers essays on Full Metal Jacket, he explores how kubrick really drove his actors to know their characters inside and out, he wasnt an acting coach so some of the younger folks had a tough time, but in retrospect they loved working with him because no other director would push them to get the scene like he did. And the results show, from Paths of Glory to Eyes Wide Shut each film beyond its story, and cinematography has some of the most incredible acting performances in history. One of the essays: ruclips.net/video/-X4wB-C5Gmg/видео.html
Nic Cage has a peculiar look like Ed Harris , Woody Harrelson etc and is a very charismatic guy with great acting chops. You rarely see anyone outshine him onscreen and his inclusion always makes the scene better. I just hope that he bounces back and delivers some mainstream movies , actor of his calibre is always one film away regaining his past glory .
im surprised i havent seen any comments about Toni Collete's performance in The United States Of Tara. i knew after watching that show that she was destined for bigger things.
One trilogy that I think was not only enhanced by overacting, but vital to making them work, are the Raimi Spidey movies. It's got juuuust the right amount of serious acting along with cheesy overacting to make it work perfectly as a comic book come to life
I very rarely notice acting in a movie, if a movie can keep my disbelief suspended then I probably won't be looking out for it, but I left Hereditary just shocked by how good Toni Colette's performance was.
I kind of agree, but I feel the thing about this opinion is how "overacting" is being defined here. Overacting is a terms usually used to mean something more along the lines of it's synonyms: "exaggerate, overdo it, go overboard". It's more like "overacting". It's what you call a performance that does not fin the scene or character. Be it being in comparison to the rest of the actors (who are maybe acting way calmer), in contrast with the manner in which the character was handling himself before that scene (maybe the character was established to be more reserved), or in the overall context of the movie (that the tone asked for a more calm response). So it's only overacting when it doesn't fit the scene, not when its a super "out-there", expressive and intense performance. That's why "overacting" is used in a negative context. Because acting needs the actor to understand the character, the context of the scene, and to have his or her lines and reactions adjusted to be an actual response to the actor they're interacting with. Think, for example in the Room. when Tommy Wiseau is screaming for no reason when you clearly see the scene and the tone of the other actors didn't call for it. That is overacting. And when there was a more dramatic tone being implied but he said the lines as if the were nothing. That is called underacting.] What I'm getting at is that, this isn't overacting. It's just being super expressive. This is just good acting. But lets not get confused here. Nicholas Cage does overact a lot. And he can overact in certain scenes but act pretty good in others. He is capable of giving great performances. I think a better example of him acting great is in the movie "Adaptation". That being, said I don't think Toni Collets great performance in Hereditary has anything to do with Matthew Lillard actually and purposefully being cartoonish or Nicholas Cage going overboard in certain scenes.
When it comes to famous over actors I'm sure there are some great european ones too, I'm thinking Louis DeFense, also Japanese plays on film are abundant with over acting.
I feel like if it comes from a truthful place, it’s not overacting. I feel like nowadays everyone is obsessed with “realism” to the point where it’s like why not hire a random guy from the street. This is acting, it’s a performance it’s not real life, the place where it comes should be from a believable real place. Also this oh yeah I can see it in their eyes, is a way critics say to sound credible. Really, think about can you always tell from the eyes ofcourse not it’s a combination of your body, tone of voice. If we can tell only from the eyes we’d be mind readers. I can’t read my dogs eyes but I can read his body language better, tail. Ofcourse, idk but I love some emotional performance, than John Doe reading his lines “natural” all the time.
Mm, yes. Now I can't stop thinking about the opposite, being deadpan underacting. Lately I've been spellbound by the Joel Haver animations and just how much you can get out of a stiff performance.
I thought it would be fun to mention that Toni Collette only wanted to do fun and light-hearted movies when her agent passed her the script for Hereditary
The way people make fun of Nick Cage reminds me of when Twitter made fun of the big argument scene in marriage story. It's not bad acting by any means, but, when taken out of context, the meaning behind the performance is lost.
how’s your day going
It’s going well, thanks. Currently just relaxing for the rest of the day
Great
Your mom

I'm making a parody of "The Room" movie today. Well... part 2 of the one I made a year ago
Toni Colette is not overacting in Hereditary. My mom is literally like that.
Yeah I'd never viewed that as overacting. Some people are like that!
My thoughts exactly 😭
@@crystalpetal25 regular people overreact and act out in regular every day life.
That probably means your mom is overacting (or overreacting) more so than it means Toni Colette isn't overacting.

Matthew Lillard's Shaggy is the greatest gift from the early 2000s
YES
He’s also INCREDIBLE in scream.
No one talks about Toni Collette (and Michael Shannon) in Knives Out enough! The performances are GOLD!
Oh absolutely! I adore Michael Shannon he is so underrated
all of Knives Out is underrated 😤
it's one of my all-time favorite movies; every single actor and every single set works so well together, the characters are so colorful, and the story is exciting no matter if you've already seen it or not!
Oh and the fact that Michael Shannon also ad-lib'd several lines, like that amazing "I'm not eating one iota of shit" lol
God I love that movie. That movie is possibly one of the best movies of the decade(2010s).
I feel similarly about how acting is used in Twin Peaks. Particularly by Leland Palmer's character as a reaction to his daughter's death/his continuing grief. It's jarring, and messy, and real. It feels unsettling at points but soon you understand that grief is a very strong emotion and his reactions fully encapsulate it, even if it seems almost overboard or "too much" at first glance.
This seems to be the case for most of Lynch’s work. Hopper in Blue Velvet came to my mind.
all of the acting in twin peaks has a very dreamy quality to it
The “overacting” definitely pops with Jack Nance’s character Pete. I love him tho.
There's a fish in the percolator

i aksed everyone in community tab to give me only ONE movie rec, then ill review them all in the next video. if you guys want, participate
Mandy is one of my favorite cinematic experiences I’ve ever had.
Yeah, one of my favourites for sure. And the artistry that's put into the film should not be left unnoticed only because Nic Cage is in it.
true
I want to watch it but I’m scared to do so alone and feel I need to mentally prepare for it the way someone would for an actual psychedelic experience. I’m definitely excited to watch it
As an actor, I agree, but also writing/direction plays a large part too

Isn't Mandy the film where Nick Cage used chainsaw to fight against another chainsaw dude?
Yes. And it was glorious.
A pure Cagefest.

Aw, I wish you'd talked a bit more about Mandy. So much to unpack from that standout performance by Cage. Great work as usual though!
Daniel Day Lewis and Paul Dano gave us one of the most glorious overacting duels ever in There Will Be Blood. And it was amazing.
I’m not going to lie, the brilliance of Toni Collette is that her performances don’t even feel like over acting because of how natural they are. It feels perfectly called for
that transition from hereditary to scooby doo made me laugh so hard
Hell yeah, same 😅😂😂

Omg new Karsten vid, I’m so excited, I think I’m overacting 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼🤣🤣🤣🤣
I’ve seen a good amount of movies to understand why overacting works, at least I prefer when it does work well

I just realized Shaggy looks like a male Toni Collette
Man…
Watching this when it's 5 hours old.
I kind of agree, but I feel the thing about this opinion is how "overacting" is being defined here.
Overacting is a terms usually used to mean something more along the lines of it's synonyms: "exaggerate, overdo it, go overboard". It's more like "overacting". It's what you call a performance that does not fin the scene or character. Be it being in comparison to the rest of the actors (who are maybe acting way calmer), in contrast with the manner in which the character was handling himself before that scene (maybe the character was established to be more reserved), or in the overall context of the movie (that the tone asked for a more calm response).
So it's only overacting when it doesn't fit the scene, not when its a super "out-there", expressive and intense performance. That's why "overacting" is used in a negative context. Because acting needs the actor to understand the character, the context of the scene, and to have his or her lines and reactions adjusted to be an actual response to the actor they're interacting with.
Think, for example in the Room. when Tommy Wiseau is screaming for no reason when you clearly see the scene and the tone of the other actors didn't call for it. That is overacting. And when there was a more dramatic tone being implied but he said the lines as if the were nothing. That is called underacting.]
What I'm getting at is that, this isn't overacting. It's just being super expressive. This is just good acting.
But lets not get confused here. Nicholas Cage does overact a lot. And he can overact in certain scenes but act pretty good in others. He is capable of giving great performances. I think a better example of him acting great is in the movie "Adaptation".
That being, said I don't think Toni Collets great performance in Hereditary has anything to do with Matthew Lillard actually and purposefully being cartoonish or Nicholas Cage going overboard in certain scenes.
A HOUR OUT LETS GOOOOOOO
You got a free like for the Mandy title :)))
RIP Johansson
The over acting in Twin Peaks is what makes it so puzzling, confusing and surreal
Wake up babe, New Karsten video
you always talk my mind and thanks for that x
Some moments of Raimi Spiderman trilogy.....especially Willem Dafoe😂
Thank you for mentioning the 1920’s dada fad.
Are u planning on talking about bo burnham inside in the future ?
My mind keeps going to Gary Oldman’s performance in Leon the professional. Now that’s a great example of overacting
dude this take right here.... so fresh.
When it comes to famous over actors I'm sure there are some great european ones too, I'm thinking Louis DeFense, also Japanese plays on film are abundant with over acting.
I feel like if it comes from a truthful place, it’s not overacting. I feel like nowadays everyone is obsessed with “realism” to the point where it’s like why not hire a random guy from the street. This is acting, it’s a performance it’s not real life, the place where it comes should be from a believable real place. Also this oh yeah I can see it in their eyes, is a way critics say to sound credible. Really, think about can you always tell from the eyes ofcourse not it’s a combination of your body, tone of voice. If we can tell only from the eyes we’d be mind readers. I can’t read my dogs eyes but I can read his body language better, tail. Ofcourse, idk but I love some emotional performance, than John Doe reading his lines “natural” all the time.
First thing I think of when I saw the title was Arcade Craniacs lmao
I feel like Nancy from the craft is a REALLY good example of overacting, she fucking SELLS that movie
The Master and There Will be a Blood are also great examples of overacting
Good mentions, yes, and great movies!
Please review Spirit Stallion of the Cimarron
Mm, yes. Now I can't stop thinking about the opposite, being deadpan underacting. Lately I've been spellbound by the Joel Haver animations and just how much you can get out of a stiff performance.
Does anyone know the songs used in this video (particularly when he starts talking about Toni Collette)? They sound so haunting...
I disagree with Toni Collette not getting the credit… she was nominated for an Oscar for that classic performance!
Mandy is my favourite film of 2018.
I thought it would be fun to mention that Toni Collette only wanted to do fun and light-hearted movies when her agent passed her the script for Hereditary
The way people make fun of Nick Cage reminds me of when Twitter made fun of the big argument scene in marriage story. It's not bad acting by any means, but, when taken out of context, the meaning behind the performance is lost.
