The article 'The secret of Daniel Day-Lewis' success' was published on the website of the newspaper 'BBC News' on February 25, 2013. It is written by Genevieve Hassan.
The aim of the article is to find out the secret of the Day-Lewis's success career. The author uses opinions of film experts, such as Robbie Collin ('Daily Telegraph'), Nick James ('Sight and Sound'), Michael Rosser ('Screen International') and Stephen Frears (director 'My Beautiful Laundrette' (1985)).
Genevieve Hassan tells that Day-Lewis won his first Academy Award in 1990 for My Left Foot, his second in 2008 for There Will Be Blood and has now made it three for Lincoln. And it is noted that only the inimitable Katharine Hepburn won 4 best actress Oscars. The actor's sister, Tamasin, told the BBC her brother had been "amazingly lucky in his career... and he's made incredible choices."
Further, the author quotes Robbie Collin, who characterised Daniel Day-Lewis as: 'His unique selling point, as far as the hype around his films is concerned, is the enormous amount of preparation he puts into every role and his commitment to staying in that role when filming begins.'
Another film expert Nick James says: 'The seriousness in which he takes his profession is beyond imagining - we know how dedicated he is. He's the perfect mix of English classical acting and American method acting, he merges the two perfectly.'
Hassan also quotes Michael Rosser: 'The choice of who he works with is clearly a significant factor when it comes to recognition that those roles get.' and Stephen Frears: 'He can play heroic characters. Even when he was starring in My Beautiful Laundrette, he turned it into a heroic character and that's not a very English quality.'
Summing it all up, I dare say that Daniel Day-Lewis is indeed an outstanding actor of the present, and his 3 best actor Oscars prove it. Though I haven't watched any film starring with him, but having read this article, I will watch one of them soon.
