[@aristidess1190]

Meryl Streep definitely nailed the voice, how the hell did she do that hahahaha?

[@GullibleTarget]

Someone once asked her why she's so good at accents and she simply replied:"I listen". I like copying accents and when people used to tell me it's a talent, I would think: It's not. I just pay attention to how someone pronounces their words and I mimick it. Anyone can do it, if they'd just listen and not worry about how foreign or weird or difficult it sounds.

[@albustran4855]

@@GullibleTarget nope. It's talent. You can mimick it. But speaking it loudly and convicing is another level. It requires praticing and talent.

[@GullibleTarget]

@@albustran4855 I agree with you on the 'practice' part. Not the talent. Mimicking is a physical thing. You use your ears to listen. Your eyes to watch and memorize mannerisms, your voice, tongue placement, etc. I don't see it as innate talent or a gift. It appears to come easy to me because I did it a lot. Because I have always liked it. Practice makes perfect. Just as I am typing this, I remember being very young-maybe 5 or 6. It was before I switched schools. Anyway; I was in the Dutch equivalent of 1st year elementary school. I realised for the first time that different people had different ways of pronouncing the letter 'r'. And different voices! Completely insignificant to most but, I was obsessed! I wanted to be able to make the same sounds! i'd be sitting in my room going; 'rrrr-rrr', trying to figure out what my tongue needed to do to produce a 'hard' r or a soft one. Rocking back and forth in concentration. But I did it for pure fun: it didn't feel like something I 'work' at-eventhough I was working at it. Every child is a 'natural mimic' it's how they learn. Speaking is a learned skill- not something you are born with-such as the ability to run faster than the average human or growing tall: you have no control over that. But you do have with the ability to mimic. I just did what i liked doing and got good at it. It looks like a natural talent but it's not. It's a skill.Like driving a car. For someone who wasn't as obsessed as I was but wants to do the same: it will be hard work. But it's the same work I put into it...for me it was playtime-not work .It's that old adage "When you find a way to do what you love; you won't ever have to work hard again." So when people ask 'But HOW do you do that?', I boil it down to it's bare bones. I hate it when people then say:'oh. .you're just trying to make it look easy when you know it's a gift.' Screw that: i listen and i worked at it. Always have and THAT is why it looks easy. You can achieve the same by working just as much at it. it will feel like hard work. But it's the same work I put into it. Ergo: anyone can do it. Someone who cartwheels every day will be good at it. Make it look easy. someone who cartwheeled, once in their life; will make it look hard. But it's the same skill. Not a special talent.

That whole performance gave me the chills!

[@seamusin1697]

Her mastery of accents is incredible. The only criticism I have is that I would like to see her do more challenging roles and independent films. Nevertheless, she ranks as one of the finest actors of her generation.

[@thepiperreport8198]

Meryl Streep and Daniel Day Lewis play their roles to perfection...

[@charlies8833]

So much better than Gillian Anderson in the crown, Streep's performance is less of an impression and more refined I think

[@gregoryjonesochoada-lomboy6441]

I agree. Gillian's voice is as if Thatcher's throat hasn't had any single drop of water for a decade.

[@galmanferguson]

Agree. Gillian makes her look kind of sick and soft

[@delrey874]

Well, Meryl is the best actress alive today. Gillian is also a good actress, just not in the same league as Meryl.

[@Mrchair-bk5ns]

@@gregoryjonesochoada-lomboy6441 I like to believe that Gillian's Thatcher is the way that her haters saw her while Meryl's is the very real thing. I think both performances showcase Thatcher's perception to people. Don't you think?

[@temho2142]

The editing is everything!

[@robertrosen3969]

...the best scene in the film, an instant classic!

[@NiVi192]

The Iron lady, The devil wears Prada and Out of Africa are my favorite Meryl- Movies! She's good in each movie she shots, but in those three she's simply brilliant!

[@delavalmilker]

Reminds me of that tough English teacher I had in high school. Going over my latest essay. "You're wording is SLOPPY!" "You misspelled this word! "You're grammar is awful!" "You aren't in primary school anymore!" One thing, though---I made sure my next essay was much better.

It's useful to have a seasoned actress who looks almost exactly like the person they are portraying.

[@khymaaren]

Yeah, that's why they cast Gary Oldman to play Churchill...

[@etiennenobel5028]

Brilliant! What a performance. Meryl Streep is just the greatest.

[@gerardmetoyer8814]

My God! Meryl Streep is just incredible! 🎉

[@markbrown3238]

So have I. It is my favorite scene in the movie. Meryl Streep is incredibly good at what she does, almost unbelievably good!

[@nixbronowski5822]

Good God ..Streep Is INCREDIBLE.

[@standiferx]

Meryl is everything an actor can be

[@christopherfoy6668]

3:18 the fact she looks in the camera just makes this scene even more tense. It's like youre sitting at the table and terrified her glance is gonna meet yours

[@brucegately831]

Meryl Streep is the greatest actor in all of History!!!! There is no second best....

[@pegasusted2504]

Actress :~) And I would go Anthony Hopkins or Morgan Freeman for my best actor.

[@pegasusted2504]

@Bilal Khalid he played a good Mohican and, I aren't from there and don't know his story well, I thought he was brilliant in Lincoln. :~) I still go for the 2 I said over Lewis though. sorry. :~)

[@mobrown7594]

Meryl Steep is a frigging legend, I almost thought she was Maggie for a second.

[@Anthony-zt1zs]

Damn. That Meryl Streep is pretty good.

[@benjiplayford769]

Theresa May needs to watch this

[@dan292009]

Benji Playford no she really doesn’t. Thatcher was a horrible bully ...

[@tonyduncan9852]

No longer.

[@marcleysens7716]

Superb performance By a Meryl Streep.
