Never have witnessed an actor inhabit a character the way Daniel Day Lewis did Lincoln. I cried at the end because of the loss of such a fine human being.
something I enjoy in DDL interviews is that he realizes that the (very sincere) things he says can sound very pretentious so he cautiously says them with some shyness, but still gets it out
I saw Flight with the immensely great Denzel Washington and was convinced that the Oscar was going to be his. Without doubt, he smashed it out of the park.
Then shortly after Lincoln was released and I knew instantly that Daniel had to be given that golden accolade. The man is an absolute marvel and his performances stand so tall over those who are masters also.
What a towering example of the craft we witness he and Steven are. We are genuinely fortuitous to have these two exceptions collude for our education and entertainment.
Damnit I'd love to see DDL and Christian Bale starring opposite each other. Perhaps even as family members or something. That would be 'method madness'.
