Ray is nothing like Jamie Foxx in real life. Yet Jamie Foxx become Ray Charles, he even held his face the same way. Jamie is about to play Mike Tyson and we all already know he’s about to body the role and hes about to BE Mike. Not Jaime Foxx doing and imitation of Mike. Jamie did Ray Charles a few times on In Living Color, but he took it a step further step is what seperates him from Denzel. Denzel will never let you forget hes from NY. Denzel played a cop from New Orleans and still had a NY accent. Meanwhile, Gray Oldman is from the UK and can go from the police commissioner of Gotham City to country *** Zorg and people not even realize it. When Im talking about “range”, Im not talking about emotional range, the ability to emote a different range of emotions. Im talking about the ability to become someone way outside of themselves. Hell, RDJ pulls off a British accent so well, he was cast by a Brit to play Sherlock Holmes.
Jamie Foxx is obviously a method actor. Which is no surprise to how well he acts.
Denzel is not...but there's no point in arguing with people who don't know better. The bottom line is this--most people do not really understand how to critique a film and/or acting. And they have personal biases towards Denzel for reasons mentioned already.
You can't argue with ignorant.
For example...Brokeback Mountain was a fantastically great movie. But some folks will say it's trash. Now ask those same folks what they thought of Moonlight...
