Daniel Day Lewis breaking character in There Will Be Blood (Outtake)

Yeah, he didn't break character once.

Even geniuses at the top of their craft slip up. How refreshing

Most underrated actor of all time. To me he is one of the greatest

This is one of the best movies I have ever seen.

Brahhhhhhhh

He did not break character. He lives as the character till the shooting ends. Just that the character forgot the line. There is no Day Lewis. The actor is Plainview.

Daniel plaiview could’ve been cast for the muppet show and would’ve brought his Shakespearean acting with him

I don’t actually enjoy a lot of his movies. This one took me four watchings to actually get all the way through. But this specific take shows his level of commitment to acting and his talent.

many times in the past when i said this movie was a masterpiece many said it was overrated.. look how it has blown up now

I know someone like this character.
They are hard to judge and figure out and intimidating.

Same time my oldest son is the opposite and intimidating to other people. Not me his father, but as a college wrestler other wrestlers and people who meet him respect him. As an athlete he shows no emotion, but other wrestlers say you know you strike a nerve because his collar ties hurt.
The one is not admirable and the other my son is admirable.

His characters are indelible

Seeing Dillon Freasier break character alongside DDL was strange to see. HW is usually so tense around Plainview, especially in this scene!

PTA IS THE BEST THING HAPPENED TO DDL.

Overacting

Fly on table near boy flys front of his face.

I'm not entirely convinced DDL exists outside of a movie set.

His acting is insane, the way he always looks drunk

Already said below. But I also couldn’t tell when he broke character

Even this man's bloopers are terrifying.

He scared me.

Seeing Daniel Day Lewis break character is right up there with seeing a UFO or meeting a unicorn in the forest.

I want Tarantino directing Day Lewis, then the Universe can happily come to it's conclusion.

That little boy was dying to laugh. How hard for a kid!

One of the Best...(reminds me of Jermey Irons tho)

i always wonder about child actors on these sorts of sets. I love this film and DDLs performance and presence is incredible, but i sometimes wonder how it is for a child to be on set with a character as brutal as this being created and lived is. This is a really beautiful clip to see DDL's performance in full beautiful power and also the child actor laughing immediately when the spell is broken.

Brilliant actor. He has created some of the best characters in film history.

Such a boring movie

and people will look you dead in the eye and say he's a good actor

As close as you'll get to a Blooper Reel with DDL

"Blooper." Lol that was like super intense scene and then for a half second he smiles

Intimidating? He's an actor. Like Denzel said...acting is easy.

Soon as he said cut. Both man and boy giggle. Vibes.

the most overrated actor of all time.

they couldve used that except for the last bit

I DRINK YOUR MILKSHAKE !
I DRINK IT UP !!!!

He was able to play the noblest of characters in The Age of Innocence and an unforgettable vilan in Gangs of NY. Then, this complex character and then a refined fashion designer. He is one of those actors who can sustain the weight of a movie all by himself.

The best British actor + the best American director = cinema masterpiece

The only smile on DDL’s face to ever be recorded 😂

Paul F Tompkins made this movie a masterpiece

Breaking character? That might be improv but it's the character at his finest

He looks like my Dad before he went gray 😂

MY LEFT FOOT ...😆😶😂😂😂🤣😎🖖

D.D.L, is just a genius. 💎

DD Lewis Best Actor imo!

Greatest acting performance ever put to film, Lewis absolutely disappears and simply is Daniel Plainview

Where did he break character?

Daniel did not break character...his character was acting.
