Thank you so much for posting this! 🙏🏼❤️ Benedict is such a great actor and somewhat underrated. You can tell he always pours his whole heart into each character he played! He better get the Oscar he deserves this time!!
I’ve seen some of his work but I shall endeavor to watch more it after hearing how passionate he is about his craft and how devoted he is to giving the best performance every time! ☮️🖖🏽
As an actor & an artist you take on the role you agree to do without any discrimination otherwise, what is the point of taking on any role. Good response from Benedict Cumberbatch. I only watched the film once but it was enough to make an impact & put a few things to question but otherwise it was an interesting story for the time period & the choice of actors were well chosen for the roles they played. Well done everyone.
Yes. Atlease in my opinion. The point is we should be grateful for everything we have, and use it to be the best that we can be ,in a big job or small job
@@joe-ericka9645 even Elizabeth Fritzl? Held captive in her basement by her father for 24 years? Being held there, raped by her father, and bearing seven of his children- Was she not grateful enough for what she had? Was she not being all that she could be?
@@gregbrown3082 do you believe in God ? If you do,, you'll learn that the more we ungrateful , the more miserable our life will be. Just be grateful, and let God do the rest 🙏🙏
Of course there’s a difference between a serious movie and the comic book crap that these guys take for the payday. I’m sure it’s hard work but they didn’t study drama to play a silly superhero.
The part where Benedict said that someone saw the film twice? Yeah, you have to for it was a strange flow. On that note, I hope that BC wins an Oscar this time.😊
Aaaaaaamen Sir, 1000% agree with this. If you’re portraying a character to audiences, it doesn’t matter what is going on around that character - you owe it to the audience and that director to portray that character, be they Gruff Ranch Owner or Sorcerer Supreme, with as much authenticity and integrity as possible. Also, do everything as if it were the last time - double amen to that 🙏
My question for Cumberbatch would be - How did it feel to terrorize a horse by whipping it in the face repeatedly, for the film? And my question for Campion would be - Don't you think a great director could have more imagination and be an effective filmmaker without having to actually show animal cruelty?
"There has to be integrity and focus in everything you do" What a perfect answer to the silly question about doing main stream movies vs the art house ones.
I’m not a marvel fan but marvel movies LOOK harder to make. Everything in movies like ‘power of the dog’ is practical. You don’t have to IMAGINE anything. MCU has an actor with a green screen and you gotta imagine a whole mess. No thank you. 🤣
I definitely see where you are coming from but I think the marvel franchise movies are much much more formulaic than something like the Power of the Dog. The former definitely requires a gigantic skill set and budget (and yes is far out from our normal human circumstances), but the latter requires a certain vulnerability and inner searching to make which I don’t think can be seriously said about a marvel movie. It also requires a lot more nuance as a director
@@evanabounassar2454 I definitely agree they are formulaic but in the same vein, being formulaic to a certain extent helps everyone be on the same page about something. Even if I’m not a marvel fan, I can agree Andrew garfield’s Spider-Man saving MJ was a HEARTBREAKING moment and I was SOBBING. I can’t say the same about ‘power of the dog’. Everyone is singing its praises and I was bored.
Best not up to put up in lights that you are what the OP was on about. It's bullshit to say shoot 'em up slaughterfests, or everything filmed in front of green screen, that relies on atavistic ignorant stereotypes, can be artistic. You can't separate film and art because regardless of genre, art films in numbers are required to make and print a cinema film. But film which seeks to edify and tell the damn truth are another kettle of fish. Of course Cummerband cannot afford to bite the hand that feeds him, but he took equity fees for plenty of roles; that's where critical acclaim and awards lie. Not in green screen.
@@lizziebkennedy7505 critical acclaim and awards are all political. It’s never really the ‘best’ anything so that’s not anything to be proud of either.
For me it’s about the quality. Wether it’s a blockbuster or independent film I look for a good story, amazing actors, cinematography, and the soundtrack. I do enjoy good special effects, but they’re not really important to me to appreciate a film. Actors should never have to choose one or the other either. Well said Ben.
Great actor and the answer! He reminded me my animation director's answer to the question what will happen if we'll be not paid for the pilot we were working on, and left with nothing. He said - You still would have the pride of well done job.
Definitely! He was offered to portray a certain type of character. Shady, complicated, manipulative characters aren't everyone's cup of tea. They are not always mainstream either. That doesn’t mean the actor has to modify it or tone it down by ruining it's originality - just to be acceptable to the mass. It was a job and he was committed to it. Character like Phill is very real and he played it just too well. Benedict Cumberbatch should play these types of roles even more. Totally suits him!
You do what comes to you..some will be a great opportunity, some won't. I'm sure Sherlock was not a great Payday for BC , but man what an opportunity! Because he was outstanding in Sherlock,he got offered more payday roles so basically: Be Outstanding. .
The context here, if you're not aware, is that the director (Jane Campion) put her foot squarely in her mouth when she bashed superhero movies in an interview. It's perfectly fine that she doesn't like superhero movies, but at least four of the actors in her movie have taken roles in them, so her comments made the press tour for Power of the Dog pretty awkward.
Wow, so many words without saying much. A real politicians answer. What are you all going weak at your knees over? This obsession with celebrities is ridiculous.
@@deemura no mate, not obsessed. Came across it randomly and was amazed how many people take celebrities so seriously. The guys job is to actually pretend to be someone else and gets great money and fame for it. I would rather listen to someone who has done something significant in their life.
like who hasnt been rude ever? you expect celebrities to be perfect even if theyre going through a tough time. youve 100% have been rude to people yet noone cares bc youre not stalked and photographed 24/7 it mightve been a rumour too who knows.
