but he can play both a lovable generous man and a cold villain pretty seamlessly.
Are you sure you aren't just posting this because Quintone "Toot for Foot" Tarambino is memey now?
>>63081063
Leo :(
>I'm gonna shout a lot and do an accent of some kind
>That's acting, right?
>>63081410
isnt it?
>>63081410
waltz managed to fool the academy twice just by being himself. guess they just don't like it when leo is being himself
>>63081063
Have you even seen Carnage?
>>63081063
YOU DO NOT KNOW WHAT "RANGE" IS; "RANGE" DOES NOT CONSIST IN BEING ABLE TO ACT OR BEHAVE DRASTICALLY DIFFERENT IN DIFFERENT "ROLES", BUT IN BEING ABLE TO EXPRESS, OR CONVEY, SENTIMENTS, AND EMOTIONS, WITHIN A SPECTRUM OF CERTAIN EXTENT, IN EACH "ROLE", THUS A THESPIAN WITH A "WIDE RANGE" WOULD BE ABLE TO EXPRESS, OR CONVEY, SENTIMENTS, AND EMOTIONS, FROM A RELATIVELY WIDE SPECTRUM, AND A THESPIAN WITH A "NARROW RANGE" WOULD BE ABLE TO EXPRESS, OR CONVEY, SENTIMENTS, AND EMOTIONS, FROM A RELATIVELY NARROW SPECTRUM.
ACTION, AND BEHAVIOUR, ARE ASPECTS OF "CHARACTERIZATION", NOT "RANGE"; "CHARACTERIZATION", AND "RANGE", ARE INVERSELY PROPORTIONAL, THUS THE BETTER THESPIANS —THE ONES WITH A "WIDER RANGE" AND LOWER "CHARACTERIZATION" ABILITY— TEND TO JUST "PLAY THEMSELVES", WHICH IS WHY ULTIMATELY, "ACTING" CANNOT BE TAUGHT, BUT ONLY DEVELOPED, AND THIS IS ESSENTIALLY APPLICABLE TO ALL ACTIVITIES —OPTIMAL ACTIVITY IS PERFORMED BY BECOMING AND BEING IT.
OPTIMALITY IS ACHIEVED BY MOVING OUT FROM IMMEDIACY, THROUGH MEDIATION, AND EVENTUALLY TRANSCENDING MEDIATION, ARRIVING AT A NEW KIND OF IMMEDIACY; FROM ZERO THROUGH NINE TO ZERO.

very good movie anon! Also the zero theorem is a great movie with this guy, btw OP is a faggot as always.
>>63081410
I seriously don't know what it would take for Leo to be impressive as an actor. I just can't imagine a good role for him. Or maybe it's just that I can't imagine him playing it any other way than he plays everything.
>>63081818

Not true he can play over the top in your face asshole and socially retarded introvert.
The guy is litteraly playing himself since 20 years.
And better and better. Genius.
>>63082715
they're both the same to him though
>>63081722
you are completely right but being a shouting tripfag should clue you in to the fact that, as soon as you get the chance, you should end yourself
Try top this guy I dare you, I DOUBLE DARE YOU MOTHERFUCKERS
>>63081099
he can play from warm hearted wolf expert/hunter and ice cold jew lover
>>63082890
plays from a retarded mid 20s guy who hangs with his friends to a retarded mid 40s guy who hangs with his friends.

He was pretty good in The Eric Andre Show
>>63082974
Fucking this. I can't watch movies where he appears.
>>63083078
Cage is the strangest one. I don't think he knows how to act, or even what acting is.
But he's not the same in every movie. He has a crazy range from 1-10 and I mean literally how crazy he acts.
If the right script drops in his lap (because I don't think he knows what movies are good and bad) he's actually brilliant. But then he makes a lot of utter shit. It's a mystery.

Public Enemy.

Lord of War proved he could be a good actor with a good script, Deadfall proved he could be a good actor with a bad script.

Waltz is a terrible meme. I watched Blue Eyes and confirmed my theory he is a total shitter even away from Tarantino, the unfortunate part is I wanted to sudoku for a few days after watching it.
>>63083078
You are completely wrong
And he is fucked into playing every shit role tossed his way because he got kiked
>>63086693
It's not a mystery at all, you just know nothing about Cage. He has very lavish tastes and very little discipline, so he must take on a heavy workload to continue his lifestyle. That means he can't be picky for roles, even though he's a very good actor. Being a good actor, sometimes he is a part in making a very good movie.
>>63088587
I truly love this great man

It's not b8 you retard. Most of those guys are GOAT but /tv/ has no idea what constitutes good acting so if Bogie or Robert Mitchum were around today this thread would be bitching about their range.
>>63090478
I fucking HATE him.
>>63086693
>>63088593
One of my professors knew him. The real truth is that he just loves acting. He finds it fun. He says "yes" to pretty much anything, and he loves doing cheesey movies. He's a really brilliant actor with fantastic timing (see: Raising Arizona), but he does a lot of really bad movies and brings his personal charm to them.
>>63081063
Oh, Quentin cast him in a similar role twice so now he has zero range? Fuck you, have you seen Carnage?
>>63089396
he was hot in the 90s but i've always hated his smug face
>>63081410
He killed my boy,you understayand?
>>63089396
he reminds women of the dad they wished they had
>>63087256
no shit, im so sick and tired of seeing Ryan Gossling play literally the exact same, expressionless faced character in every movie, except maybe the notebook...
it literally is almost to the point of being a joke how expressionless he is, Driver, Only God for gives etc. etc.

No way. Brad Pitt definitely has range. Inglorious Basterds, Tree of Life, Burn After Reading, Moneyball.
I think Pitt's celebrity status actually makes people take him a lot less seriously as an actual actor, but he's consistently given good performances for two decades now.
>>63081063
>Typecast = no range
he'll never be able to give a performance that isn't awkward, because that's what he is.
>>63087967
You can't really judge his acting based on that movie, there were barely any scenes with him.
>>63091500
That's just being a non-actor as well.
>>63081722
this guy used to post on /pol/ all the time, same picture in EVERY post with caps.
Are you a robot??
>>63091843
I don't judge him. I think he's not "range:0" My post was kinda off-topic.

first 2 roles of Bogart's that I thought of:
>Treasure of the Sierra Madre
Plays a greedy, petty, suspicious man who would do anything to get rich quick
>Casablanca
Bon vivant who plays the hard man but in reality has a heart of gold and acts bravely in the face of danger
so the two couldn't be more different
>>63093082

Actually no range.
>>63085721
But he's a big guy
>>63085754
So you've only seen him in 2 meme movies then? Stop talking now, grown-ups with opinions are coming into the thread.

also
>adaptation
>not serious
>>63095069
both pretty much mean playing the same character over and over
>>63086729
Even in his quirky le reddit characters he has a wide range. Sweeney Todd and Willy Wonka, although horribly written messes, are completely different from one another. I agree Burton/Depp is a recipe for disaster now but he is a great actor.

I don't consider DDL an actor. Acting is a skill, greats like Samuel L Jackson can take on a variety of roles on a whim. DDL literally takes years to "transform" himself into the character he's portraying.
>>63087310
>Hasn't seen Bronson
>>63081570
I had to search that. I didn't know he won an award for his Django role. What the fuck were they thinking?
>>63095129
yes, you should
and i need to rewatch raising arizona and watch the rock/wild at heart
>>63082176
method acting is for hacks
>>63082087
that would be extremely unnerving
>>63091094
>quirky redditor
you realize Brad Pitt along with Tom Cruisu are literally the epitome of Anti-Reddit, right?
You're thinking of Meme Pratt, the other chad actor who literally became an A-list actor off of capeshit.
>>63095439
I bet you can't act you fag
>>63091302
true, but he's clever
and the movies he makes rely on using the same old character as the foil for the backdrop of ridiculous situations
yea it's the same movie but as an actor he doesn't strike me as pretentious
>>63083017
He walks like a black man and breaths like a killer.
>>63095439
Its hard to tell what people mean by method acting.
I dont think that DDL is method actor if you use the wiki definition.
>>63090631
>Oh, Quentin cast him in a similar role twice so now he has zero range? Fuck you, have you seen Carnage?
lol wut. A german director disapproved of him because he QUOTE 'has zero range' and in all his german movies he basically plays the same eloquent socialite he is in real life. So yeah.
169 responses and the best example hasn't been mentioned. Still a good actor.
>>63095705
>>63090631
*You mean the god of carnage I guess.
His character there is basically Hans Landa in the 21st century. You will never see Waltz playing a dull, uneducated person with no direction
>>63095753
Oh well...Western heroes you know... it's basically one huge saga for all of them

>getting typecast = having no range
This is what retards actually believe.
I bet you still spam Walking Dead threads asking why they don't just burn the zombies.
>>63095858
He plays darker characters than in some of the Anthony Mann westerns. You seem to be mistaking having a persona with having no range.
>>63081063
Not all actors need range.
Some are just right for the parts they play.
Christoper plays the intelligent and driven character that's confident and without a shred of emotional displacement.
It's hard to find people like that, let alone actors.
More actors are too self-involved to a point they over emote narcissism, especially with their eyes.
Christopher prefers to handle the characters with language, tone and smiles.
It's unnerving, and therefore moving in a different way.
To be alien is to be entertaining.
