Movies Ralph Fiennes acting performance in Schindler's List

[Takes Two To Tango]

How did he not win an Oscar for this role?

To be fair it was a stacked group that year with remarkable performances themselves....

Tommy Lee Jones - The Fugitive
Leonardo DiCaprio - What's Eating Gilbert Grape
John Malkovich - In The Line of Fire
Pete Postlethwaite - In the Name of Father

Nonetheless, it's an outstanding performance by Ralph.

He made you feel like you were there witnessing his despicable treatment of those people.

Tour de force performance a masterclass indeed.

Because John Malkovichs in the line of fire was better. But I do t think he won either if anyone was ROBBED it was Malkovich.

 

[Takes Two To Tango]

Because John Malkovichs in the line of fire performance was better. JM. ITLOF performance was one of bestvi ever seen actually. Only DDL TWBB or it's equal bests that.

Very interesting comment. Like what I said it was quite a year for supporting role performances.

Never knew you looked at Malkovich performance in that film that highly. That's cool to hear.

I chznged my reply as I thought JM won but I re checked an he lost as well. Now that was a ROBBERY . As cool as TLJ was I fugitive he was 3rd best that year n not even close to JM ItLoF . But yes that is in my TOP 10 acting performances ever .

 

[Flower2dPeople]

A rare 10 for me.

 

[I Am Legion]

He was great in it. A real hate able human. Ironic that today blue haired freaks are carving Nazi Symbols into Teslas. Makes me think they never saw this movie. I liked TLJ performance in The Fugitive, but he played....Tommy Lee Jones. Thats how he plays every role.

Yeah it is kinda strange ironic the ones that rage so much against folks the call/perceived as nazi are the ones acti g the most "nazi" like.

As good as Fiennes was still wasn't better thsn Malkovich but yesh TLJ played himself

What's your take on Leo performance in What's Eating Gilbert Grape?

Is Oscar worthy in your opinion?

Not that year but most other years he would be right there. But honestly thought his performance in Basketball Diaries was better.

Yes he was great in Basketball Diaries as well.

 

[Sobek]

It's been a while, I'd have to rewatch it

It got panned a little as a movie but thought he and Marky mark were great in it. Basically before either was really a big star yet.

I am going to be an edgelord here but while I think Fiennes was perfect for the role, he was so perfect that he just had to keep a poker face the entire movie to kill it.

I mean he plays a stone cold Nazi general psycho who has no emotion except the occasional greed, lust and insecurity.

I think that he belongs in the top 5 actor/villain match of all times.

 

[ASUThermo]

Just re-watched this movie last Tuesday, he was exceptional, I really wanted to beat his ass. Went 9/10.

 

[Pittie Petey]

I never seen Schindler's List but I'm watching The Menu right now, he's good in this one

 

[My Spot]

No one who speaks German can be an evil man.

 

[SKYNET]

Only other acting job that ever got to me so deep it made my stomach turn was Michael Rooker in Henry Portrait of a Serial Killer.

Chilling performance. Top 5 GOAT supporting actor and top 25 all time in general. Proud to share a birthday with Sir Ralph.

 

[HHJ]

GOAT

Anyone who votes less than 10 is into bestiality or something

I never seen Schindler's List
