  1. I think "worst" means "most horrible" in this context

  2. +vengefulbeauty +Colleen McDonald I watched "The Revenant" today, and I was definitely not disappointed. I think this was just what he needed and what I was looking for; a highly physically-driven performances where every emotional and physical aspect of his acting was done to perfection, and where he really stepped out of his comfort zone and did something I had never expected from him. I also don't expect many people to come with the same performance He personally said that it was the most difficult role he had ever done, and I can't disagree with him on that, and he was wonderful

  3. technically no since he is based on a real person

  4. that's a real story. The list is for fictional characters

  5. +Vanoss Daithi Delirious Wildcat I'm not that surprised; his line delivery was very over-the-top to me and I did not sense any motivation or subtext behind them, and my general impression was that he tried way too hard to be evil and authoritative (by the latter, I mean that he tried too hard to be in the center of the situation and have high status). I also thought his rant could have had a better buildup with Leonardo DiCaprio in general, I just haven't seen many performances from him where I have thought "This is exceptional", "Wow, this was really unexpected", or "This is revolutionary". I also have the impression that people overrate him because he is Leo or because he stars in great movies even though I don't think it's he that makes them great. My biggest problem with the audience however is that many seems to forget that there are other actors who also has never won an Oscar despite multiple nominations, some of them being even better than him

  9. Colleen McDonald I've seen all three movies you mentioned in the beginning, and I was stunned by "What's Eating Gilbert Grape"; that was unexpected and something I cannot expect many other actors to do as good. I have also enjoyed "The Aviator" and "Wolf of Wall Street", but I was just not overwhelmed by them nor do I remember them that much, even after I rewatched the former just a little while ago. Maybe it's a bit because I expect those performances from Leo and because he looks too much in his comfort zone. If actors like Ben Affleck or Brad Pitt delivered the same performances, then it would have been different since they are generally not as acclaimed. I will watch "The Revenant" as soon as it premieres in my country, and my expectations will be really high. As for being over the top, I already mentioned that I rarely got his subtext and motivations in his line delivery. If you're an actor and have to exaggerate, then do it in a way that the subext doesn't get lost, but instead that the emotions and subtext get more clear. I've seen it work with actors like Daniel Day-Lewis, Jim Carrey, and Samuel L. Jackson. When I watched Calvin Candie (Leo) however, I saw a man walking around and saying "I'm so evil and sophisticated" and the only image I have of him is him standing with that cigarette holder. As for his rant needing buildup and how it should be done, I have an example from "A Streetcar Named Desire" where Marlon Brando really does it great: (We see him smash his fist into the table and throwing his plate on the floor) (Calmly yet offended) "Now that's how I'm gonna clear this table" (Slightly louder) "Don't ever talk to me like that" (Close to yelling) "Pig, polack, disgusting, vulgar, greasy. Those kinds of words have been on your tongue and your sister's tongue just too much around here (Slightly louder) What do you think you are? A pair of queens? (Close to how it was in the beginning) Now just remember what Huey Long said - that every man's a king - and I'm the King around here, and don't you forget it (throws dishes on the wall). Now my dishes are done, you want me to clear yours? (After a while, he gets offended once more) (Explodes) I'm not a pollack! (Slightly calmer) People from Poland are poles, they're not pollacks! (Explodes again) But what I am is a one hundred percent American. I was born and raised in the greatest country on this Earth, and I'm proud of it. And don't you ever call me a pollack! When it comes to status and being authoritative, every actor in a scene is supposed to be of either low or high status, and I felt that there were many scenes where Candie was supposed to be of high status, but I just didn't feel it. Daniel Day-Lewis did it in "Gangs of New York", "There Will Be Blood , and "Lincoln", Edward Norton did it in "American History X", and Marlon Brando did it in "A Streetcar Named Desire". Even Spencer Tracy had a natural authority in "Boys Town"

  10. Colleen McDonald Marlon Brando is my favorite actor of all time, to the point that I have read his autobiography, shared personal quotes from him with people in school, and used some of his philosophy on acting to help other people (I had drama programs at high school and went to an acting school for a year, and was recently assistant director for a theatre production). I have therefore seen most of his movies Nice talking to you too. It sounds great that "The Revenant" is mostly physically-driven since it's easy for an actor to neglect the physical aspects when doing dialogue-driven movies/plays, but you really have to embrace it when you don't have as many lines as you're used to. I also often enjoy montages or scenes where an actor has no dialogue
