Daniel Day Lewis - All Movies

[Music] hello my friends welcome to the all movies in this video i would like to talk about one of the most awarded actors daniel day lewis who is well known for his often extreme ways of preparation for the roles fourteen-year-old daniel made his screen debut in this film he described his first acting experience in which he was paid two pounds to vandalize expensive cars parked outside his local church as heaven and now time for another session with radio west's very own private ear eddie another shaggy dog story good evening no this isn't about dog literature epigraphic including copper sampling digamma 27 but in the literature these are extinct one of the enigmas of greek religion so many contradictions in the church simplified out of the virgin mary that celtic name was morgan leffey enchantress and witch nothing is simple i always wonder why you men of the cloth seem to derive such satisfaction from making the rest of us afraid of death one of the men has had a letter from home to say that his father is missing i uh wondered would it be possible for him to have a few days compassionate leave get off the pavement you bloody [ __ ] yeah get off cather what you doing nothing theatrical movie debut of dale lewis over 300 000 extras appeared in the funeral sequence about 200 000 were volunteers and 94 560 were paid a small fee where were you on the night of the 27th of november last answer yes or no i don't mean he hadn't any faults or anything but with him they just didn't matter he was one of those people you had to like him [Music] how long do you think the men can stand it this is an outrage mr fryer in all my years at sea your years at sea good lord man if i'd known your nature i would not have accepted you as boasting of a river barge must i suffer first major supporting role in a theatrical movie for lewis this movie is generally regarded as the most accurate depiction of the actual mutiny there is a persistent but unsubstantiated rumor that the real fletcher christian did not die on pitcairn island but made it back to england and the captain says he'll expect you this well evening today is not friday six o'clock prompt if you please why are you now so first no i'm on to something oh what i'll let you know still living at the same place no don't get on with me mum and dad stephen frears wasn't too sure about casting daniel as a working-class punk daniel convinced a director by sending him a letter threatening to break his legs if he didn't give him the part and turning up to set armed with rockabilly clothes and a working-class accent good jobs like this around emma just runs you around everywhere like a servant i'll stay here with my friend and fight it out sergeant would you would you mind telling me exactly how it happened i'd like to know dr martok has asked me to confirm his opinion would you object please make no mistake don't imagine that the present state of affairs is conducive to happiness but my point is that the whole attitude is wrong an engagement horrid word in the first place is a private matter and should be regarded as such oh there's your philosophizing person in a bbc interview aired in 1986 daniel described his character repressed snobbish edwardian upper-class man as being the sort of person you imagine you might be in your worst nightmares evidently might i say we're right not to but it would help a little hurt a little less if i knew why it's very bad what do you mean no books don't you read anymore no not much they're very good do you take them so many people produce bad photographs good night max very elegant you too like nano lewis at first turned down the role feeling the script made him too nice the script was revised and added in things from the book that made the character less perfect he learned czech for the film even though it was shot in english according to lena olin she met co-star daniel on her first day on the set and had to do one of the film's most intense nude love scenes with him that very day i don't know what to say to you i know i know you've explained it to me a thousand times bye now mr gage excuse me um i was wondering would it be at all possible for me to uh use the telephone i rather need to make a call to the office oh no i can't help you there soon well that's barbaric and uh what is it that you do now exactly i'm what you call a elementary particle physicist i got a laugh and a hamburg back there that was funny wasn't it i know you have to do your painting but everybody has to go to bed because there's no cold now christy don't push my nerves any further all right what was that and that's the native humor and those the natives who are cyclization and then the prices are great pitching at the moment when we listen regardless for his iconic role day lewis learned to write and paint with his toes and spent eight weeks in a cerebral palsy clinic in dublin to truly get to grips with the condition he refused to leave his wheelchair for the entire shoot forcing people to carry him in and out of the car every day and insisted on being spoon-fed food he broke two ribs from assuming the hunched over position in his wheelchair for weeks of filming his own ways nice it doesn't matter to me you can meet who you like do you want cavities no no will you use your toothbrush yeah after the director's first cut the producers took over the film and re-edited it changing also the entire soundtrack including sound and music score the outcome was far away from the original concept on which the film was shot i'm staying in the motel we can't talk here why it's dangerous for both of us [Music] that is the truth i'll have you beaten from this fort someday i think you and i are going to have a serious disagreement this was daniel's first big budget hollywood movie for his leading role he became a dedicated outdoorsman learning to build canoes fight with tomahawks skin and cook animals as he refused to eat anything else and fire a 12-pound flintlock on the run he carried the hefty gun everywhere he went including christmas dinner with his [Music] no matter family far i will find you i am sure it's often thought the van der leyden's is gloomy though i've never heard it said before but tell me do you really like to be alone as long as my friends keep me from being lonely the three lead actors day lewis michelle pfeiffer and winona ryder were all martin scarces first choices for the parts daniel checked into the plaza hotel as an archer and lived there for two weeks wearing clothes suitable to his film character as research for newland archer at the moment and i think each day a little more so what a job we can't get jobs you know we can get jobs i have a job you want me to work as a bookish clerk i want you to have some respect my respect for food in preparation for his role daniel lost 40 pounds and spent nights in the jail cell on the set as crew members threw water and verbal abuse at him he kept his northern irish accent on and off the set for the entire shooting schedule despite playing father and son pete post leth weight was only 11 years older than man daniel spent 15 years in prison for something i didn't do i watched my father die in a british prison for something he didn't do in this seven months since she has gone i have not moved from there to there without i think to please you but an everlasting funeral still marches around your heart my wife will not die for me i cannot do it they'll turn up this will not die for me mary i will bring your guts day lewis built the house he lived in as john proctor because of his habit of maintaining his character through the entire duration of the filming he also didn't bathe her shower from the time filming began to when it trapped while shooting the film he met his wife rebecca miller the daughter of arthur miller it's not on a ship we'll meet again abigail but in hell i mean at first you hold on to all the old voices in your head kids and you at school old friends and such and after a while those voices start to fade daniel was already in training before he earned this role and ultimately spent 18 grueling months preparing for his pugilistic debut his trainer barry mcgigan claimed that he was skilled enough to compete as a professional he also crudely tattooed his own hands to replicate flynn's the boxing match in the film complete with the unusual result was based on an actual bout sickly bastard in his dirty little cozy little [ __ ] secret world and all the dirt in it and now he's trying to turn us into a dirty little secret i'm my challenge by the ancient laws of combat we are met at this chosen ground to settle for good and all to simulate bill the butcher's fake eye daniel had his own eyeball covered in prosthetic glass he learned to tap his fake eye with the tip of a knife without blinking to prepare for his role he listened to the music of eminem and also went to work in a butcher's shop for several weeks to learn how to meticulously in size and gut carcasses he became so uncomfortable with the greasy hairstyle he wore as build the butcher that he shaved his head immediately after filming completed for his country because they all want to live in places with people exactly like themselves i have their own police forces some of them keeping our greedy little children safe day lewis took the role as his wife rebecca miller was the writer and director during filming he arranged to live in a shack separately from his wife to achieve the isolation needed to focus on his own character's reality is it you you you love those little houses and i hate those little houses out of all men that beg for a chance to drill your lodge maybe one in 20 will be oil men the rest will be speculators that's men trying to get between you and the oil men to get some of the money that ought by rights come to you daniel accepted the role because he had been a fan of paul thomas anderson's previous film punch drunk love according to producers the film might not even have been made at all if he declined the role he improvised the speech he gives to the citizens of little boston about building schools bringing bread to the town etc anderson said it was delicious it was plain view on a platter he worked on his role of plainview for three years and used oral histories from the time period to create plainview's distinctive voices [Music] did you think your song and dance and your superstition would help you eli dante and his spy you need to shave you look terrible why is there no fire escape in here what if somebody needed to escape i can't face these reporters i have nothing to say you'll be fine day lewis and dane judy dench worked together on stage in a 1989 production of hamlet he infamously broke down during a scene and abruptly left the stage never to return before filming began for this movie he sent dench a note saying i promise not to run out on you this time it's not fair to my wife see you're playing with me you're twisting everything i can't even tell how i begin help louisa help me help me mama help me someone here's a place where i have never been it'll be for the people to keep it up that's my speech for steven spielberg's big money epic he insisted on being addressed on set as mr president and kept up his kentucky accent for the duration of filming he also wrote letters to his colleagues and signed off with 8th to properly get to grips with lincoln's mannerisms he studied alexander gardner's american civil war era photos he won his third best actor oscar at the academy awards for his work on the film it's the origin isn't it that balance has that's fairness as was said three thousand years ago so still it must be said the judgments of the lord are true and righteous all together i cannot begin my day with a confrontation please i'm delivering the dress today and i can't take up space for the confrontation i simply don't have time for confrontations in preparation for the film lewis watched archival footage of 1940s and 1950s fashion shows studied famous designers consulted with the curator of fashion and textiles he also learned how to sew and he practiced on his wife rebecca miller trying to recreate a balenciaga sheath dress that was inspired by a school uniform this is allegedly his final film he announced on june 20 2017 that he was retiring from acting and that's all my friends hope you enjoyed it and thank you for watching i see things differently and i finally understand you and i take care of your dresses [Music]
