Daniel Day Lewis is the most remarkable actor of our times. The guy has a habit of getting lost in his roles. Spending months in preparation for them and going so far as to staying in character even when he's off the set sometimes. Must be a horrible person to live with but as an actor I doubt there's any better. Maybe Deniro in his prime.@Fkhan Yes I've seen "My Left Foot". It was a DDL masterpiece although the movie itself fell short by some margin imo.
His best ever role was Daniel Plainview in "There Will Be Blood". I've never witnessed such brilliance by an actor.
My favourite DDL role is Bill the Butcher from Gangs of New York.
An unforgettable role in an unforgettable film. That Scorsese-DDL 1-2 punch was a bit too overwhelming for me. I felt that the Daniel Plainview was more of an extension of the butcher instead a unique role in itself.
What gave you that idea :|Saw the trailer of Life of Pi. It really looked a Visually amazing movie. But i heard it is a musical, no?
I think you're confusing it with Les Miserables, the only big musical that's coming out this year (and potential lead awards contender).
