Mads Mikkelsen on method acting: “It’s bullshit. What if it’s a shit film - what do you think you achieved? Am I impressed that you didn’t drop character? You should have dropped it from the beginning!“

Agreed 💯, also

I think using your talents to enrich and empower a transphobe is bullshit, Mads. https://t.co/oSLIjiXQTY

maybe it's bc i like Mads, but i don't find this to be the argument ppl think it is. there is an entire organization enabling the creation of these films and framing the actors working on this film as having some kind of moral deficiency is bottom of the barrel commentary imo

[miniglik]

At a certain point there is some shitbag involved in the creation of every movie ever made. Holding actors accountable for every person they've ever tangentially worked with is exhausting. I get it if it’s the director (film), showrunner (tv) or lead actor (both), but at some point I just… cant be mad all the time at people for everyone theyve ever associated with.

[semalina]

right. we can't have space for everything. might make us hypocrites at times, but i'd rather be that, and acknowledge it, than try to be some omniscient being

[yurasama_love]

He's right. Either you can do your job or you can't. If you have to become the character, then you aren't good at your job.

I should print this out and send to my coworkers.

I adore him. I feel like he would probably weird me way out if I met him irl (not creepy… just weird!) and I love him for it tbh

He’s the best part of any project he’s in. Worst part of Dr Strange was how criminally underutilized his character was.
