Ellen Burstyn Says Method Actors Today ‘Don’t Know Anything and Just Make a Lot of Noise’

Comments

1. Noah: the shading is buttery
2. Milaivanov: You'd think she's criticizing the entire approach, but is this really just another generational row?
3. Theopetrov: I've never been a fan of romanticizing method acting
4. Wraith Kite: i can kind of see where she's coming from but 'making a lot of noise' feels like a pretty weak criticism - isn't that just acting, though?
5. Jonas: Sounds like she's speaking truth to the noise, even at 85
6. Bergamir: I've got no qualms with method acting itself, but yeah, some people take it way too far and start believing they're the character
7. Hex Echo: I love that she's speaking truth to the hype. Method acting can be admirable when done genuinely, but all too often it's just for show. Does anyone think this kind of
8. Sana: same issue with method acting's overemphasis on emotional intensity, but at least she's speaking up now
9. Quiet Shard: actually found this part of the conversation quite fascinating – her words really do seem to reflect how acting has changed over time
10. Diegofalkxo: you're saying that method actors just make noise? what's the difference between "authenticity" and just plain chaos?
11. Marek: she's always been refreshingly honest, can we expect this to sink in somewhere?
12. Milan: it's interesting she brings this up now that we're seeing so many actors using the method as a crutch for their performances
13. Crimson Comet: I've always wondered if some method actors lose sight of the material, and now that I think about it, sometimes the fuss makes me question their focus
