Lee Strasberg's Film Legacy Reel

He was the chief proponent of "Method acting" from the 1920s until his death in 1982, and according to acting author Mel Gussow, "he revolutionized the art of acting and had a profound influence on performance in American theater and movies". From his base in New York, he trained several generations of theatre and film's most illustrious talents, including Anne Bancroft, Dustin Hoffman, Montgomery Clift, James Dean, Marilyn Monroe, Julie Harris, Paul Newman, Al Pacino and director Elia Kazan.

I've always been avidly against method acting for it's complete lack of practicality, but this man himself was a good actor. Doesn't mean I agree that his teachings were good, however.

@2BitterFucks as in personally for me it doesnt work. and i dont understand his method. what more is there to that. im making conclusions based off of other styles that i've learned.

@2BitterFucks

I'm sorry, too. But what kind of sense are you making?

You admit you don't understand . . . but then you make a conclusion based on it?

[2BitterFucks]

im sorry but i just dont understand strasburg compared to some other methods, i guess they're all right and it just depends on the actor

Reciting the texte, waiting for is line, fixing the other actor, pausing for the camera, not in the present moment...

With all respect. Better as a teacher than an actor...
