Acting - Scene from the movie Magnolia

[alittlemikeful]

i don't buy it. sorry man, but PSH's performance is hard to match

Question:Where is Philip Seymour Hoffman? Answer :Not in this video!

[CoffeeBeanBrown]

The emotion sounded forced - especially at the end. The pitch in his voice is also too high. The dialogue sounds rushed as well. A close up shot would have saved this, or at minimum, a slow dolly-in from a medium shot to the close up.

[LegallyMoi]

Who thinks Philip Seymour Hoffman would make a great Sadistic Penguin in a Batman Movie?

[CMHCChannel]

Great Job!

[cameronjamesparker]

this is great

its brave of you to put up a scene that was well written and well acted out because its already been done so greatly and people just have expectations of this being just as good or better than the scene

and you definitely did a great job because it wasnt how philip seymour hoffman did it

im just saying great job!

[123klaas123]

haha this was fun, i just dont understand what the guy on the phone had to do with it ^^

[valmont2525]

close up..let the eyes act. like hoffman does.

[ronbarba]

thanks valmont. All constructive critiques welcome. :)

[kajslare4]

this is great! I am applying to LACC acting right now. i hope i make it!

[ronbarba]

Thanks movieposterboy. I appreciate honest but respectful critique. We could only do one take on this scene and there was only one camera shot available throughout. Yet I understand your advice and perspective thanks.

[movieposterboy]

there wasn't evough worry in the actors voice. Not too natural. The camera should have had more close ups on the guys face too.

[slavchik]

I love this too!
