Daniel Day-Lewis vs Gary Oldman

[Medical Marijuana Man]

Voting Oldman only because he was in the dark knight trilogy

DDL is the better actor imo

hate threads like this

a few months ago people on here started appreciating oldman because hes underrated in hollywood, since hes a character actor who never gets leading roles. then everyone hops on board until he becomes overrated

there is no way he can compare to DDL, who not only can be both a character actor AND a leading man, and one of the very few actors who can do both at the same time

oldman can be zany, unrealistic supporting characters and disappear into them

DDL can do that AND make characters like bill the butcher seem realistic and carry scenes

oldman has never been able to carry a film like "There Will be Blood" off the sheer force of his performance alone

I have to agree with this even though Oldman really has never left me wanting,i think he's great...but DDL is on a completley different level,from everyone even. I dont even think Gangs of NY is a great film (merely a good one) but DDL IS GREAT in it. Cant stop the flava.

Yeah I mean they didn't give him much to work with but why sign up to do shit like that? surely he can't need the money that badly.

maybe he just likes to keep working. Its what he does.

Also, Robocop and Criminal were both better movies than they're often given credit for.
