This isn't FAIR, my mom is an actress and she's not ALLOWED to look ugly in scenes. You have to be extremely famous to get away with looking 'ugly' during an emotional or intense scene. It's ridiculous. SO yeah 1 for guys 0 for girls because again we're not allowed. You can get it with horror movies sometimes, but anything else my mom's complained non-stop about it. It was a really good video, love your analyzation of the first 3 clips. I did learn something but I didn't like you saying that one girl was having fun, it's fine to have fun when you are honest, she was lying to pretend she cried on command, so I didn't like that you excused her immoral actions.

That's true, but if an actor can't fully commit to displaying certain emotions or if the actor makes the viewer "cringe" upon watching, then the acting will feel less genuine and get called "fake."

[@moist_spinach]

1:05 I saw this clip and thought the same thing. Big emotion doesn't equal good/"real" acting. Honestly I'm not sure if acting can be "real/fake" in these contexts, just "good" or "bad". Although "real" could mean an actor is drawing from internal emotions or impulse and "fake" could mean the actor is relying on invisible work/characterization outside themselves and their experiences. But certainly fake/real are not stand-ins for good/bad, even if "real" acting may feel more genuine I guess.

Can we say if acting is fake? Shouldn't it be good or bad acting simply? Acting is faking by definition, so "fake acting" sounds meanlingless to me :/ Why can't we just discuss good vs. bad acting?

[@MadMusician]

For the clip of "which one is fake," I guessed the right one too, but not only because of the bigger expressions. It was because of the lacking in positive energy (felt more sarcasm than I did positive), strain in expressing likeness (compared to the one on the left with slightly smaller facial expressions and came off much more relaxed in expressing likeness by comparison), and overall sensed more effort in communicating the opposite of what they actually think.

addendum to the Cranston tip/comment: good directing can also bring up the level another grade. So C material with A+ actor & director can bring it up to an A. But the director can also bring you down. A actor, A material with C director means B product.

I don't understand this trend at all. There's no such thing as "fake acting" all acting is quite literally fake acting since it's acting. Like all of these examples, if anything, are just people acting like a "fake" person. This is just so stupid, it's really just saying acting should be standardized to one type just because it's objectively better or "real" which is ridiculous because that defeats the whole point of acting which is to be multiple characters and personalities and not just play one character. Not everything requires or should have the same type of acting

Taken in by Mark, an ex member of a criminally organized group and grieving man mourning his missing daughter, they both begin to fill each others void in life. As their bond grows and they both start to heal, Leah’s past creeps up on her unmasking a deeply disturbed side, hiding secrets that could shatter the fragile trust between them. When Mark uncovers the truth about Leah’s manipulative and violent tendencies, he must confront his own conflicted feelings about family, love, and redemption. lots of people doubted me because of my age but writting makes me happy i know depth and i do see potential for this to be a film making a big hit for now i have to finish the story and perfect it Its not about a mentally disturbed girl focusing on abnormal things its about highlighting the importance of a child being loved and cared for the message raises awareness of how crucial it is to nurture and raise kids in a healthy supportive place and what can happen when they don’t receive the love they truly need lots of films i see focus on the outcome of things like this but im focusing on the ROOT even showcasing what could happen when one heals thats the difference between my story and most others

Maguire’s character, ‘Sam’, got PTSD after being deployed in Afghanistan and who was apparently presumed dead. Sam (Tobey Maguire) became paranoid, super aggressive and jealous.. thinking that his younger brother Tommy, had sexual relationship while he’s gone. But it’s not true. It was just his thinking.

[@pavel228]

It is a bit ridiculous to call those yelling, raging outbursts the best acting. This isn’t hard. Give someone a little time to get over his initial shyness and almost anyone can yell and smash things. It is infinitely harder to act the everyday emotions, as people tend to keep them below the surface, be it deeply or just a bit. So you then must act/feel an emotion while then oppressing it again. The hard acting is in the detail, in the micro expressions, the little movements, looks, changes in body language and tone. Pure fear, pure rage, pure joy is one thing. Nuance a completely other level.

[@rebeccag8589]

Agreed! Acting subtly, acting in a way that truthfully conveys holding back emotions the way we often have to do in every day life, is so much more challenging than crying and yelling. And it can be just as if not more moving and compelling.

I see a great idea, showing Andor turn into a rebel. good actors like Diego Luna and Stellan Skaarsgard. But the direction, editing, and pacing is bad and the writing is awful. More than once I was waiting for something interesting to happen and the credits would start rolling. WTF? That was the episode? Nothing happened! The show asks you to invest in conversations, with good acting. But then there is no pay off. Andy Serkis butts heads with Andor for three hours, and the. The big reveal is that he can’t swim. Big dramatic swell of music but I’m laughing at the pseudo drama. It would have been much more effective and Andor promised Serkis he would keep him from drowning, and Serkis died right in front of him. That would have PISSED off the audience and they would have hated the empire for killing a character they loved.

I just can’t get over people who focus so much on their every movement, that’s not acting. Learn your dialogue, don’t bump into furniture. If you’re committed enough to understanding and grasping the character, everything else should sort itself out.

[@TransparentLabyrinth]

I get the sense some perception about how fake/real a performance is kind of relative to a person's sense of normal and then there is the factor you mention, like how the writing and so on can influence it too. If I were to try to generalize, I would say things that are more likely to be perceived as fake are things that look too much like a technique; an example someone once pointed out to me that I can never unsee since, is when actors will do this sort of "take a breath" thing. They say a line of dialogue and then they take a sort of heavy sigh or breath, I guess because it feels wrong to sit in the moment and be doing "nothing." But it's just not something people generally do in RL, as far as I can tell. People do sigh sometimes, but they don't do it in such a routined way. Sighing is more of a spontaneous action. And to the point of techniques like crying on command, I agree it's a strong technical skill, but I also think it's a bit overrated as a skill to have on hand because crying isn't always the realistic thing to do in the first place. Not every character is the type who would cry in a dramatic moment. Some people actually have a really hard time crying at all in RL and almost never do it (particularly among men). And even for women, it can be a powerful moment if someone who you'd stereotypically expect to act a certain way flips the script; if the woman character whose life is falling apart before her eyes is frozen in shock instead of crying. I think interactions with the environment can also be a bit underrated in this way. I recall a recent show I saw, where how the MC deals with a bug in her environment expresses far more than would come from big emotions alone. Which goes back to your point about the symphony of it and how it's a bunch of roles working together that make up a performance. Actors at times get elevated as stars and celebrities, and judged on that basis, when they're really just the sort of face of the film; they are only one part of a much larger whole.

Try turning off the sound. Do the characters seem real?

I miss real acting

[@tomikoivisto]

Now this is a refreshingly insightful reaction.

I think it’s interesting that male actors are so much better at “ugly crying” than female actors. In movies the women always manage to stay gorgeous regardless of how devastated, exhausted, or injured their character is. Same when the storyline involves an outdoor adventure.

It’s not that they are “so much better”, it’s that they are allowed to be ugly and unattractive when showing emotion. Female actors aren’t granted that privilege. Like you say even when it’s an outdoor adventure or an apocalypse type show/movie, the women are still magically shaven and have mascara on because directors and hollywood would rather prioritise female actors remaining within the beauty standard over realism.

[@chesterarkm5277]

Acting was him just reacting to tiktoks and explaining obvious things from the tiktoks

[@DealwithitHand]

I think it is comparable. Just look at how they approached their roles. In the real acting they clearly got into the mindsets of those characters. In the breakup scene they simply stare. If you're upset with someone, you blink, you look away in disgust, you give them expressions to convey your point. None of that happened.

Why is “real acting” just people screaming and crying. Sure, an emotional breakdown is always impressive but the subtleties of a performance are far more impressive, at least to me. I think when an actor is portraying a character who is attempting holding back emotions rather than just freaking out all the time, it takes far more finesse and nuance.

What I don’t get in the story where the actressc nearly drowned with the chains is why you don’t have a safe word or in this case a safe gesture when shooting scenes like this.
