This film should have been DDL's fourth Oscar. He overshadowed Leo Dicaprio and anyone else in every scene.

DDL is such a gentle and soft spoken man . Hard to believe that he can play psychotic , ruthless and violent characters such as Bill The Butcher or Daniel Plainview.

There was so much character and color bubbling under Daniel's surface, it looked like he was about to burst into laughter or start crying at any moment. He's so attentive, he has the look of a man who's learned not to miss what's important.

Seeing him, DDL all "cleaned up" smiling, being joyfull kind of amazes me after seeing Bill the butcher and Daniel Plainview. He's a shapeshifter.

Scorsese's eyebrows are on the endangered species list.

DDL was absolutely perfect for that role. Stellar!

Day Lewis is hands down the greatest actor of our time.

There Will Be Blood was one of the best performances in the history of Cinema

these two masters-at-their-own-crafts' ability two sit quietly and listen to what the other has to say without feeling the need to chime-in, shows how humble and appreciative they are.

Acting comes so natural to Day Lewis and he's so forensic about it. You can tell he wouldn't know how to answer someone if they asked him the question what should they do to become a great actor. He's so naturally gifted and focused on craft that he just doesn't know how not to be great.

Daniel is much more than a phenomena he’s something else. Any character he takes on just comes alive. Imagine De Niro playing bill, completely different film. DDL, just takes years away, comes back and casually takes an Oscar, goes away, comes back and does the same thing again.

We are witnessing greatness. Gangs was a good movie but let’s be honest it wouldn’t have been 1/3 as good w out DDL as Bill the Butcher. He is an absolute force of nature.

Thank God DeNiro passed on Bill’s role. Daniel’s acting is second to none. The film wouldn’t have been the same without him.

Man what a Legend DDL. Look at him here and then in the movies he's a total different person for every role he has payed...

it’s awesome for an actor to realize that it’s not good for their mental health or happiness to work constantly, and to have the discipline but stay away despite everyone pulling back in. Kudos

I am so glad that DeNiro didn't want to do the part because he would not have pulled it off nearly as well as Lewis did

Daniel Day Lewis....... The perfect guide on which to learn skill of listening, thinking and then replying. If he chooses to share his time with you, you best be at your sincerest best and if you are you will get a man worthy of listening to.

DDL is hands down the greatest actor of all time

Fascinating how Lewis stares at Scorsese when he answers Rose’s questions. At first I thought it was purely shyness around Rose, but I wonder if he’s really looking at Scorsese for approval of the insights he’s giving. It’s almost like he inhabits a character so completely that once he’s done with that character he can’t even remember playing him.

Everybody in this movie was outstanding, but DDL stood head and shoulders above everybody. Looking and listening to him in this interview and thinking about him as Bill is so far apart. The testament to great acting.

DDL played one of the most complex, convincing villains in film history. Brilliant in every scene.

No matter how many times I have seen this movie, I am amazed at the acting ability of Daniel. I just sit and watch him amazed at the talent that pours from him. He stole the show. He is the one who stood out. He is such a gentle soul and to be able to pull the character of Bill the Butcher from within. He throws himself into the character he plays. It is a shame that he is not making any more movies..

thanks for uploading this lads

Day Lewis. Guys probably one of the best actors I have ever saw. My left foot. My god. But anything he does is outrageous. Masterclass of acting

"Weinstein is great" and "George Lucas is the master of digital effects" might be the most 2002 statements ever.

One of the greatest actors of all time. Only a few can bring a character to life like DDL.

Bill the Butcher is one of the finest acting performances I have ever seen, up there with Ledgers Joker.

Last of the Mohicans is absolutely one of the best movies I’ve ever seen ...!!

Very enjoyable interview, great discussion.

This is one of the best interviews I've ever seen...

Thanks for giving us the yr!

This is such a good interview. On a different level.

DDL is such an intelligent man.

D D L. Such a wonderfully odd quirky intense awkward brilliant fellow. The man runs so deep it takes all his might to sort out the roiling traffic jam of thoughts and feelings competing for expression. Fascinating.

Loved that movie from the first watch so it was really exciting to watch this interview - thanks for posting!

Absolutely loved it. Keep watching it over and over again. Daniel Day Lewis is utterly fantastic. Too bad he has quit.

Fascinating to hear about the movie ‘Silence’ near the end..

Fact DDL is so shy and small, makes his eruption into The Butcher even more mind-boggling. Only time I've ever seen Leo outshone in a film. Has to be one of the greatest performances in the history of cinema. In interview he gives very little away, only adding to his enigma.

These two mad geniuses should have collaborated more

He goes all in when he's in a movie,imagine being married to someone who changes so fully for an entire length of a movie shoot. DDL goes out,Bill the Butcher comes home. I wager his decision to retire comes from the full mental commitment he gives,he never phoned it in. Whatever he does for the rest of his life I hope he's happy.

Lewis is an Amazing actor

Giants of their craft.

this conversation is pure gold..

a lot of talent at that table; top director, top actor and top interviewer

34:16 WTF! Bill the Butcher creeping in

Watching this and hearing Scorsese talk about Silence... It's cool to see that he FINALLY got it made... And how most of these "Masterful Movies" have taken 20-30 years to be made.

A fascinating interview ❤️‍🔥

What a prodigy, that actor... the best of his generation.

As far as I know DDL is retired and that's heartbreaking. This man is still in his prime and has great roles to play. I hope he changes his mind.

Cant believe he didnt win best actor

"You tell young Valon, I'm gonna paint Paradise Square wit his blood. Two coats!"

DDL may be the greatest actor I've ever watched. He blows Leonardo away in this movie.

Harvey Weinstein's name appears in many directors' interviews. I think he was probably really good at his job and genuinely had a good eye for movies. Too bad he abused his power.

Martin wasn't wrong when he said he thinks Daniel has a rage inside of him. Sometimes you can see it behind his eyes, almost murderous, which he managed to tap into for the film. Daniel is one the best actors ever lived, but he must have some rage inside of him for real to capture it so well when acting.

This and There Will Be Blood are my favourite Daniel Day Lewis roles. He is the ultimate villain in this film... I’d say Bill The Butcher and Anton from No Country For Old Men probably the best villains of the last few decades.

the patience and respect DDL shows for first 10 minutes is truly remarkable.

Greatest performance of all time IMO.

No one can bring a character to life like DDL can, greatest actor to ever do it!

Rewatched Gangs last night- i actually teared up during this interview- understanding and identifying with the creative brilliance of DDL anf MS- big thumbs up

Most joy comes from satisfying curiosity..... Dude nailed it...might be my favorite modern quote.

34:16 DDL has that look like, “choose your next words carefully”

This is the first time I have ever heard Daniel talk. This guy is mesmerizing.

Robin Williams made the funniest endearing joke about Scorsese's eyebrows at some awards show.. He said "They look like two mating caterpillars.." LOL cracks me up when I see this @ 01:13

I live in Ireland and I used to live just down the road from Daniel Day Lewis. Then I moved to Cork for work at MSD the Pharma company and bought a house with a view of the sea and a castle. Jeremy Irons lives in the Castle and I see him in the village all the time. So random hahaha!

He's so modest.

The fact that DDL didn't win the Oscar that year still bothered me. It was the biggest Oscar snubs in the history of Oscar!

Day Lewis is by far in the top 10 best actors who ever lived on this planet

1:50 Seems like Scorsese enjoyed Attack of the Clones

I can really understand someone like Daniel Day Lewis’s caution around rolls that require so much rage, just from my reaction to watching intense movies. Without realizing or intending, I take on the mannerisms of key characters in the great movies I watch, for several hours after watching it. It’s mild, but enough for my wife and former girlfriends to have mentioned it. I can’t imagine the effect and duration it would have on me if I immersed myself in becoming a character, for months. Especially when you have to come to some understanding of intense violence and anger and other destructive elements. It must be incredibly traumatic.

At 34:20......it looks like he slips back into character for a moment! very interesting stare!

At one time I saw Scorsese say very proudly "I'm a American film maker. I tell stories". That really bothered me. I thought he was provincial and American movies to exclusion of others are superior. More recently I saw him say that he admired Italian and Polish cinema. That weight finally dissapaited. Legendary director with list of classic movies. Thanks from my heart Martin.

This is an absolute treasure!

DDL is ahead of his time.

One of my favorite movies! Such a great story, casting, a literal masterpiece IMO. Love it! DDL was the best part.

Amazing interview about one of my favourite movies of all time

in some parts Scorcese looks at Daniel in a strange way like scared (scared is not the best word for It) lol but I think it was the memories on set

If someone watched this and didn't know DDL played Bill the Butcher, they'd find it hard to connect this person to the character. Props to Daniel, one of the truly great actors, ever!!

Best transition into a role I have ever seen .love Al and others yet this toped all others

You see how Daniel is here, and it is that much more amazing when you see the people he becomes in movies.

Absolutely stunning film!!!!

Martin looks like the elf from the Tim Allen "Santa Claus" movie lol

charlie’s laugh throughout this is hilarious, it’s so loud haha

I like how the majority of the interview DDL is actually facing and talking to Scorsese and not Rose lol

i love hearing marty tell DDL about Lincoln

I would pay a theatre ticket just to see DDL sitting alone silently in an armchair for 1h 20m.

Notice how at the 10:14 mark when Daniel is asked what he was doing for those 5 years, there's almost 20 seconds of what seems like awkward time where Scorsese seems to know something and clearly Daniel won't disclose what he did for those 5 years. I found that interesting, not sure it was a case of what he was doing, more like a case of where he went for those 5 years.

One of the best performances imo.

I watched Gangs of New York again the other day, an amazing film with a mesmerising and simply magnificent performance by DDL - he is the best actor ever imo.

Scorcese's eyebrows had yet to turn into butterflies

I have never given Daniel Day Lewis in my personal persona the acting credit this man deserves. I don’t even believe Hollywood (these people) have given Him the credit he deserves. I’m sure he has been compensated well for his work. But, unlike other actors, he doesn’t act, he literally becomes the character .....................if you are watching for more than just temporary entertainment, how often do you recognize these professional characteristics?

my grandparents came from Cork Ireland during the depression landed in new york stayed 3 years & headed west

absolutely brillant, 2 of the very best.

He is such a natural actor, he can't even use words to describe what he is doing, if he were a math genius and solving complex problems all the time, and some teacher was all like "show ur werkz or u get an F" he would be all like "ah, jeez, well you ask such a question of me, what do i even say? how do i write down the quantum infinity of my mind on a single piece of paper? your asking a difficult thing of me, I just do math, thats it--'" He does the same thing with acting, he can't (or wont) explain his methods, because i think they are so deep inside of him that it would be the equivalent of asking someone exactly what going in to their method of walking, or eating.....most people would say "well i put one foot in front of the other, and place food in to my mouth and chew....what do you want?" either that or he made a pact with a Faerie and his contract doesn't allow him to explain things.....any things XD "explaining things is forbidden, you must act everything out" better yet, he made the pact with the Faerie and it was like "i want to be a great craftsman" and he got that but the contract made it so he couldn't explain anything to anyone, only act it out....so in acting things out all the time he became a great actor, but he just wants to go and make a dove-tail box and a pair of shoes to go in the box, and movies are just the thing he does to get more wood and shoe-making money.

Scorsese on Diaz, "This is the girl..."

i kinda had to double check if the video speed was accidently set to 2x when Scorses started talking.

DDL is sort of cut from the same cloth as Heston, McQueen,Newman,Eastwood,Bronson and Marvin. However, Yul Brynner comes to mind most times.

thumbnail made me think id watched this and erased it from my memory :,)

I've never seen a ddl interview. I just figured he was bill the butcher all the time. Imagine my disappointment.

When they add the Chiron - Daniel Day Lewis - actor, it should read, Daniel Day Lewis, THE ACTOR
