@jupitereye4322 4 месяца назад

Unfortunately, when I saw There Will be Blood for the fist time, and I really didn't know anything about it at all, what I've notice emediately that Paul Dano was outclassed in every sense. I was annoyed by him, not as a character but as a screen presence. It looked off, I was wondering "why this guy", but over time I grew to like him and precisely because he is so off, his character fits that particular idea of a fake clergymen. It is that striking difference that reflects the hard core capitalism and hard core perversion of religion. It is very "meta" in that sense. Where I think Paul shined is the Looper for some reason. He is definitely memorable actor and now I actually want to see him more on screen because he is quirky and original, I think. I am not blown away with his performance like I was with Daniel Day Lewis, that was incomparable to anything else in cinema, but Paul adds something, its like a dish that has that one spice, it doesn't make the dish but without it it would be very different overall impression.

@oldthug2309 Месяц назад

the about incredible actors like Day-Lewis is that it makes the other actors/actresses jobs much easier; its easy to fall into character when your cast mates are so convincing with their performances

@feelflows Год назад

@@chriswright4677 You’re right to an extent, but Paul’s mostly done indie movies and played supporting roles pre Batman (with a couple of small roles in larger movies) so the majority of people probably don’t immediately go to him when you say talented actors. I see him as an actors/directors actor, plus he doesn’t have social media and lives a pretty chill life so he’s not in the spotlight as much as some other celebs. Also his lack of Oscar noms or awards despite his mad talent might have something to do with it as well. Paul Dano shouldn’t be underrated but when talking to non filmy people he’s not quite a household name, but I hope that changes soon!

I'm so glad that he mentioned the way that Daniel Day Lewis delivered the "I'm finished!" line at the end of There Will Be Blood. I've always wondered if it was written on the page the way that he says it. Because he delivers the line like he's saying that he's finished with his dinner and calling to his butler to come clear the tray. It's so specific and unusual. I'm guessing that on the page it was supposed to be him kind of muttering to himself or talking to the corpse. My god, what a brilliant film.

@internetgfy Год назад

If I remember properly, at the beginning of the film when Daniel's character gets hurt (breaks his leg?), he does say out loud something like "not now, I'm not done". I always thought the "I'm finished!" was a reference to that. He's got his riches, he's found his oil and now he's got rid of the one obstacle in his way.

First saw Paul when the batman came out. I have now watched 5 of his films and two more on dvd on the way. He is so polite and funny and just makes me so happy. Thank you for being you Paul!

Pretty clear when we was talking about There Will be Blood that they were all on an entirely different level and he did a great job talking honestly about his experience

@peg202xo7 Год назад

I wish he'd talked about his Pierre in War and Peace because he was so marvelous in that role. Pierre is the heart of that mammoth epic story, and Paul brought such depth of feeling to his portrayal of the character. Wonderful actor!

he seems very sure of himself and his capabilities as an actor. i've never watched him in a role where i felt it was too big or too small for him - it's like he brings all of himself up because he's confident he made the right choice with selecting the characters he plays. i hope his career is this colourful for a long time!

i didnt like him in it, neither did Tarantino, but if he was cast last minute, it did Dano no favors, and taking that into consideration, he handled it well. Starring opposite DDL in his prime must have been daunting.
