Got into a fight once with my drama teacher about acting drunk, he said I should act drunk, i then turned and said surely if I’m drunk I’m trying to cover up the fact that I’m drunk? To which the argument kept going back and forth. I’m just happy that Michael Caine also believes the same as i do!

@alexhodgson7254 5 жыл бұрын

I guess it depends on the context of the scene if youre drunk with your friends who are also drunk in the scene in a private setting then you could act drunk and let it flow out of you, however if youve come home drunk to your parents house underage and your characters parents are strict then i guess you would try to hide the fact you are drunk true?

I had the same deal at drama school, but I referenced Sam Rockwell, who said, something like "I went to the bar, and drunk soda, and just watched, then I realised ...drunks don't act drunk, they try to act sober" It changed it all for me.

Great interview, obviously someone whom has thought about why and what he was doing while acting. Shows you why he lasted so long in that business, where it must be very competitive. Someone whom has learnt his craft, and thought alot about how he was doing this stuff. Alot of this stuff would of had to be natural, but its good to know, he picks up stuff from directors too. Every movie when your someone like caine, must be a learning experience.

I love this man so much - at one point I came very close to choose acting as a carreer , I attended many drama classes and workshops - my girlfriend at the time was a poet and a playwright she had agreed to write a contemporary short play to help me in my auditions for drama schools and another female friend was a former classmate of Robert Powell - she was givingme useful acting tips but in the end I chickened out because i realised unless I was rather fortunate in reality my destiny was more likely to consist of "resting" between very few actual acting jobs. Had I known about Micheal Caines superb talents as the highly talented acting coach\tutor that he is ontop of being the movie star he is. I think he would helped inspire me to really give it a go.

Spot on. I've been saying for years that one actor whose performances really get to me in emotional scenes is Christian Bale. He does what I'd call 'man crying' in that he never actually seems to cry, but instead seems to put all of his focus into refusing to cry, instead speaking steadily and keeping his chin up. A great example is towards the end of <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="190">3:10</a> to Yuma when he tells his son to go home. You could argue it's not the healthiest of male traits, but it's certainly a relatable one.
