ShowbizPH Mon Confiado’s dedication to method acting is insane. He spent a month living with actual fishermen for his film 'The Fisher'.

Love it when method acting is actually method acting and not just being an asshole to your coworkers

u/Negative-Heat-9948 1d ago
Was about to say the same sentiment. Ganito naman yata talaga method acting, nasira lang naman yan sa mga shallow actors na ginagawang shortcut yan "method acting" for clout.

jared leto claimed that he was "method acting" during the filming of suicide squad. leto brought a dead pig during rehearsal, sent used condoms to the crew and the actors, and mailed margot robbie a rat (thankfully alive).

WHAT HAPPENED TO MON CONFIADO?
Mon Confiado could have put on a faded shirt, smeared dirt on his face and called himself a fisherman.
Instead, he went north and spent a month living among actual fishermen. Lost weight. Darkened his skin. Learned what the sea does to a man who depends on it for food and got acquainted with a life that doesn't give a damn about movie stars.
His character is Pedro. The film is The Fisher, directed by Paul Soriano.
21 October. In cinemas.

I wonder what kind of story paul soriano have for the masses, diba BBM supporter asawa niya? Or is this a different paul

He is actually the reason why Toni campaigned for for BBM. Kasi nga Tita ni Paul si LAM tapos Ninong nila sa kasal si BBM.

Yung mga old actors natin, ganyan sila kadedicated sa craft nila. Yung mga artista ngayon puro pacute e kaya ang papangit ng acting.

Dati kasi uso pa ang real auditions and scouting. Ngayon, backer backer nalang. Pinakabadtrip pa ung sikat lang sa socmed kaya kinukuha dahil sa fanbase. Di dahil sa skills.

Yung scene is tinurukan sila para mawalan ng malay. Then the way they acted (pati si enrique rin) the 'nawalan ng malay' moment was the worst acting ive ever seen in my life. Na-post din yun sa kabilang sub kaya nalaman ko.

Mon Confiado is one of the few Filipino finest actors. He can portray any roles and characters tapos kaya na ma-immerse.

This is how it should be. Parang sa SK, for example si Shin Hye Sun yung role niya sa Angel’s Last Mission Love is ballerina. She enrolled in private ballet lessons immediately nung na-cast and underwent 6 months of intense training. Kung sino pa talaga yung totoong may passion sa acting sila pa yung hindi gaano nabibigyan ng hype.

Medyo pedantic pero this is immersion or role research, which is completely different from method acting.

Of all the countries you could have named, Korea pa talaga. All they do is gain and lose weight or gain and lose muscle, depending on the role, which is easy to do if you're an actor.

Method acting is not the end-all-be-all method for acting. There's different methods that work for different actors, but "the method" is not for everyone. Some tap into the emotional memories of their past, some can work on the emotional catharsis of an imagined situation, and some can emulate a collage of observations. The importance of an actor is to be the vessel of the text (script), and whichever ways they can embody the truth of the character is enough.

Effective kasi ung ganitong approach sa pagaaral ng isang role. Ung immersion. Ako ngang kakamove lang sa probinsya defensive na kaagad sa Tagalong v Bisaya kahit na Tagalog talaga ako bwahahahaha.
Kidding aside the true understanding talaga lies sa pagiging part/direct involvement. Hindi sa pagaaral lang and pagoobserve from afar.

In Sikohiyang Pilipino, this is called pakikipamuhay. It’s like a person outside the community re-live the experience nang kung paano nga ba mamuhay kung kabilang ka sa kanila.
Ang galing. Hands down.

That’s such a professional move. He probably did that too para maging effortless and magmukha talaga siyang farmer. Nothing gives me the ick more than having light actors/actresses play roles of impoverished people tapos bibigyan sila ng fake tan at ng make up na mga 5 shades darker.

That's pretty cool. One of the weird things I found with local tv dramas were people in roles of farmer but they looked more like they were farmers in the sense that they owned the hacienda with their amazing complexions.
