Meryl Streep's Improv Outtakes from Don’t Look Up | Behind The Scenes | Netflix

[@kristoferwilson6593]

this is straight up a exercise you do in drama school! very nice to see it actually being put to use

[@RVCfilm]

I bet what Streep was probably doing (which makes it especially brilliant) was thinking about what she could say that would embarrass the other actors the most -- what she could say that would make it hardest for them to deliver "bad news" to her right afterwards. Great actors will focus on the other actors and how to impact them, and she's one of the greats.

[@SunitaDe]

Helps so much to do this to keep every take fresh. I'm sure she could do 100 more takes on the fly.

[@swerves]

"Do I need to take an antibiotic again?" is the funniest. I am stealing this one.

[@JosephHitchcock]

This is really impressive. The funny part is the imaginary voice she's making up in her phone call, but her reactions are quite logical responses to what she's imagining. Fascinating.

[@rosemariedisalvo6499]

Improv or prepared? She had the script and knew she needed to "improv" there. A professional actor is always prepared. Either way, she is truly talented and a comedic genius.

[@primepeternice1318]

At 72 years old, Meryl Streep is classified as a senior citizen. But God damn it, not in this production! She totally personified someone that was 25 to 30 years younger than where she is now! She definitely did not look her age. In the way she arranged her acting role was complimentary of her younger looking age in this film Meryl Streep was totally in rare form.

[@rodicapopescu2038]

you'd be surprised how many old women don't look their age these days, and not due to face lift and other artificial beautifying procedures..

[@nagajolokia2914]

Maybe this is how 72 is supposed to look or would look if a person took really good well-rounded care of their appearance and health? I think if people stopped putting arbitrary limits on how one should look in certain age ranges, they would stop surprising themselves when they see evidence to the contrary, especially as it seems to happen often enough.

[@cockeyedoptimista]

@@nagajolokia2914 It's part self-care and part genetics. Also having the resources to protect oneself and stay fit and healthy in fun ways.

[@davidthomas-ot4cl]

She's amazing. It's not just in her film acting where she gives different takes, look at her interviews. She can tell the same story in another interview and she gives you a different take on the same story so it seems like a new story. She puts so much effort into everything she does, both on and off screen. That's why she's the best.

[@Maymay-nw5bf]

I hate her, she has no integrity. Have you heard of her and the weinstein scandal

[@EvaSofie]

@@Maymay-nw5bf There is no evidence she knew and his victims have defended her. He used her for credibility.

[@stevie68a]

As a film buff at 71 years old, it takes a lot to impress me with a film. I have a lot of thoughts of "been there, seen that". I loved "Don't Look Up" because it's funny, clever, thought provoking, and entertaining. I've seen it three times already, and I'll see it again sometime. Congrats to Adam McKay and all involved.

Imagine asking Meryl Streep if she has trained in any acting or theatrical technique like improvisation, something every actor ever has some familiarity with, from taking a high school acting class to master classes. Wild!

[@Rennimagus]

All improvisers think they’re the only ones who can do it. Sure it’s a skill you can hone, and you need imagination to start with, but you’re totally right- everyone with a theatre background has done improv at some point.

[@KJ_nyc]

How fascinating and mesmerizing to the fellow actors on set. Great improvisation is a talent that can easily render a viewer mute and in awe. It can be a jaw-dropping experience. Why wouldn't it be a roller-coaster ride of fun when employed by the supremely talented Meryl Streep? How fortunate we all are to have the ability to see this: a great actor doing her thing. Thank you Adam McKay for letting it happen.

@@NobuhikuObayashi definitely. But her and her ‘don’t look up’ crowd def portrays how fox looks

[@NobuhikuObayashi]

@@ImxPhreme Yeah, aesthetically that’s very true, no doubt. The screenplay and some other details of her performance I found to reference democratic presidents as well, which I think many of the people who didn’t like the film may not have picked up on, hence the many references to this movie being bad or partisan or preachy. I think some people felt insulted by it but it was a respectable and pretty even critique I thought
