Why did he win an Oscar?

[–] fanaticita 8 years ago

He was the same in every scene because that's how Spielberg wanted him, and it paid off.

Thank you for telling me something I already know.
Now step aside and let some actual film commentators relay their expertise.

What makes you more of an expert in acting than the members of the Academy?

I find Oscar Bait infinitely more interesting than ticket bait

I remember a little story about Spencer Tracey. He was in a scene with a younger actor and he asked how he was intending to play the scene. I thought I'd underplay it, was the answer. No you won't Kid, cuz that's how I'm gonna do it, was Spencer's reply.
I guess in films the "less is more" aproach is what actors aspire to and look for when judging thier peers.
But apart from that, I thought Rylance nailed every scene he was in and was a worthy counterweight to Hank's everyman charisma. Though I have to admit I've yet to see the Mad Max remake.
