If this was his only film, it would be enough.
“To The Butcher !”
If this was his only film, it would be enough.
I had never seen him until I saw “Gangs of New York”. He was mesmerizing and I could not take my eyes off him and Butcher Bill was an actual person. Lincoln was great too.
Wonder why he doesn’t just limit his work to Shakespeare?
There Will Be Blood was a crap movie. He got the Oscar because they knew his not getting one for Gangs of New York was a total ripoff. The guy who won for The Pianist hasn’t had a decent performance since.
I was hoping to see him do Strongbow ads...
My Irish 6th great grandfather was a fur trapper and ran a trading post up the Mohawk River...he was also in the Provincial Army...He died fighting the French and Indians at Lake George, NY 1755..
as one of the “Yankee Doodle Dandies” because of his Leatherstocking costume, I always think of him as looking like Daniel Day-Lewis..
:)
He’s done this before. Once, he left a live performance in London, announced his retirement and became a cobbler in either France or Italy. I am NOT making that up, either.
Great actor with some issues.
Wasn’t he in My Left Nut?
I’m very sad to read this. Daniel Day-Lewis is my favorite actor, and the long wait between his films is rewarded by the excellence of his performances. He was Peter Jackson’s first choice for the role of Aragorn in “Lord of the Rings,” but turned it down because it would require being away from his family on location in New Zealand for two years. You can’t fault his priorities.
Well, I guess we’ve seen the last of the Mohicans..................
What does he have left to prove?
I have a feeling he is probably a nut like many other people who get paid enormous amounts of money to pretend they are someone else.
DDL as Lincoln was just.... spectacular. I can watch that flick over and over.
I was sad to learn of Eastwood's demise.He did some good work and seemed like a thoroughly decent man.
IOW,Clint was one in a million among showbiz types.
He should have at least played a Batman villain. I would have loved to see someone outdo Ledger, and he is the only one that could.
He may not like being offered so many scripts with him as the stars grandfather, employer, coach or spirit guide.
I wonder if Daniel is still not speaking to his brother Sean.
A Telegraph article from 2013 said the two had not spoken since the early 90’s. It seems Daniel thought his brother Sean was using their relationship to curry favors from various book publishers. Plus there were other unresolved issues. Sometimes, one just becomes used to living without certain family members.
“There Will be Blood” was one of the worst movies I’ve ever seen. I was almost crying out in anguish it was so slow and boring. Every chance to fill in with, with nothing, was taken. Pure crappola. If I hadn’t been with other people, I would have walked out.
Yeah I am not shocked at all. He always seems to me uncomfortable being in the spotlight so I wish him well and look forward to his “re entry” back into Hollywood in a decade as they all seem to do.
I absolutely loved DDL as Abraham Lincoln!!
We all know the story, the tragedy of President Lincoln’s assassination, we’ve heard the sad story over and over again for our entire lives.
But when I saw the movie “Lincoln,” it was the first time that I ever truly sensed the greatness of this president and the tremendous, heartbreaking loss when he was assassinated. I wept at the end of this movie, much to my own surprise.
Worked as shoemaker in Italy.
So he's retired until he sees a script he really likes.
Best bet: Pinocchio.
