>this is the greatest actor of our lifetime
Nope. Doesn't work enough.
There are actors who put out more consistent performances year after year and meanwhile he's spending time researching and getting into character

I'm afraid you're incorrect.

>>81247615

>>81247735
Christian Bale, Joaquin Phoenix.

>>81247773
Pacino hasn't given a good performance since the 90s

>>81247740
Nah, both in equal measures. When you do one movie in five years and spend a year getting into character, there's going to be an uptick in quality. When you do five movies in a year and can consistently be lost in completely disparate performances you're an actual actor.

Gary Oldman > Daniel Day-Lewis

overrated af tbd fan

>>81247816
>bale
HAHAHAHAHAHA
>Phoenix
His performance in the master was amazing so I'll give you that

>>81247845
It is certainly not Daniel Day Lewis.
I do not give a fuck if he won an Oscar for putting a decades worth of effort into method acting.

>>81247806
YOU'RE THE ONE FOR ME, FATTY

DDL best > any actors best

Prove me wrong fag

>>81247615
I bet you also think that Meryl Streep is the greatest actress of our lifetime

>>81247735
Denzel Washington

>Phoenix
>Fassbender
>Gyllenhaal

3 actors that are better than DDL right there

>>81248746
Add Tom Hardy to that list.

>>81248793
Hardy does not belong in the same sentence has four

>>81247615
>whys he so autistic and hides all the time
He is a rich actor and doesn't need to work all the time and he'd rather pick his roles that are interesting to him. Good for him.

Anyway I prefer Gary Oldman and Joaquin Phoenix.

>white actor is best actor
Lolno

>>81249215
He's Jewish

>>81249260
jew is not a race or skin color

>>81249298
/pol/ doesn't consider Jews to be white

>>81249298
>calls a jew white
>also jew is not a skin color
wow pick your side dumbass

>>81247735
Gary Oldman

>>81247615
He was so great playing Lincoln he forgot to make it remotely interesting

>>81247735
Obviously Leo, but you don't want to trigger those patricians who get all their opinions from RLM

>>81247852
Neither has Day Lewis

Although to be fair that was 3 movies ago

>>81249298

Just finished re-watching Gangs of New York, actually. That's some fine kino.

>>81247615
I love Morrissey. He's the best.

>>81248002

Can we really call it "acting" when this guy is autistic enough to actually just live like that until it becomes natural?

Wasn't this Brando's big gripe with method acting?

>>81252203
or hopkins'ss

>>81250588
he is pretty consistent. too bad he plays the same character in every movie

>>81251205
All this tells us is you're a middle aged dad that goes on reddit, likes super hero movies and enjoys the films of wes anderson.

>>81251205
Tom Hanks is utter trash.

>>81247866
>Gary Oldman > Daniel Day-Lewis

Lol no fucking chance, and I like Oldman

Ed Harris is that good, even if he isn't as picky about roles. Gary Oldman is on that level. Prime DeNiro is certainly there. There are others, too.

It's more the "one movie every five years" and going to crazy length to stay in character that DDL gets his praise for. Not saying he isn't good, but he isn't some otherworldly talent that no one comes close to. There are other actors that would get the same praise if they were more selective/autistic.

>>81253609

this ... he was only good in Forrest Gump

I cant believe underage fucknuts ITT actually believe bale, fassbender, oldman and dicaprio are better actors than DDL. Like atleast name drop dead legends.

>>81254710
Oldman is much much better. DiCaprio's a better film actor, Day-Lewis is a better stage actor. Bale is below Day-Lewis, but not too far below.

>>81247615
I actually think Joaquin Phoenix is on par with DDL, he just isnt as picky with roles... also he seems to have really unusual and "fragile" personality, im waiting the day he flips out or ODs or something.

And as already stated Oldman and Bale are consistently pulling off great roles aswell, they just arent at the same level. And RIP Philip Seymour Hoffman.

I can agree that DDL is the GOAT actor today mainly because of this >>81247740 reason.

But to be honest , performance-wise he hasn't yet surpassed some of Al Pacino's and Robert DeNiro's best work.
