Good on them for being brave enough to be analysed publicly like this
Great breakdown, and kudos to the actors for showing their stuff. However, Leo has many advantages in his scene. The benefit of being able to move, walk around the space, incorporate blocking, interact with props, use of moving camera, cinematic lighting, wardrobe, AND play off ANOTHER actor all contribute greatly to his performance. Additionally, having an outsider force (director) present to shape the tone and performance.
Di Caprio's acting is genuinely legendary, however it felt a bit unfair to compare all of these close angle monologues to an actual full scene with a moving camera and a real scenery. The travelings along with the different shots really give movement and life to the scene. The whole context really highlights the acting even more and makes the whole thing look way more professional.
"You're tearing me apart Lisa!"
Tell Nina she is fucking incredible at her job. With the accent and the possibility of a language barrier, she absolutely slams the script in her own delivery of the performance. I'd love to watch what she's made.
At 4:42 when she repeatedly says no while he’s talking was so great. The pacing of the “no’s” over his line felt so natural
That third one. She was completely believable. As if she wasn't acting at all. Bravo.
That young woman was straight fire . She has a bright future. I had no idea what was going on but I was invested . Just to see what she would do next ... good video buddy
I’m not an actor, but I’m a young director and writer, and I run a small animation studio. Even though we’re in a different corner of the industry, your videos really help me understand how the film world works. I truly appreciate the effort!!
“I had hoped for a romantic happy ending after both people unexpectedly survived the Titanic disaster.”
I want to see Leonardo's audition tape now
8:27 You're just some boy I met on the Titanic!
Not planning to become an actor but I still find your channel awesome!
She. Blew. My. Mind. I found myself crying and I didn’t even know it was happening.
The girl was such an insanely good actress. Her accent was the only thing that made it a little bit hard to understand what she was saying, but other than that, I felt her pain in my heart. Incredible actress.
Really nice breakdown. It’s always more interesting to find the vulnerable emotion underneath the rage and anger. Leo finds the desperation, the fear and the hurt deep down. It manifests partly in rage and destruction, but the sadness comes through too.
nina's made me emotional, shes amazing!!!!
i never really rated Leo as an actor, but i thought the first guy was actually ok. The second decent. The actress really good...then Leo blew them all away. Just shows how a little perspective can show us just how good the top actors are.
The difference is you have 3 people talking to someone off camera reading stuff and then another scene where 2 people are actually acting and reacting to each other after many reads and rehearsals.
