True, but the one in Spellbound is what the Brits would call, "Balderdash" :evil:

Which, according to the master, was intentional. It was stretched so much that it turned out too implausible for our cognitive powers. :P When Bala posted his comments on the film, he posted Hitch's quote. I was a bit surprised of sheer dismissal as "psuedo-psychological". I would say "conjectural-psychology" is more appropriate. :P

Trivia: Great Anton Chekhov's nephew Michael acts in the film as Dr. Brulov. His renowned method of acting is being used by Clint among other star-actors. :clap:

we all know that the best representation of MPD on screen was accomplished by Sanggar & Vikram few years back

:lol:

The best representation of MPD on hub is achieved by yours truly. My tempestuous alter-ego by nom-de-guerre, Anban, might have to blast meself for the digressive post. So, Kamal Vazhga. 8-)

Kamal' acting style cannot be pigeon holed as you are doing.

:exactly:

Jaiganes,
I've been meaning to respond to this point about the so-called "natural" acting, "effortless" acting, anti-look-ma-i'm-acting bits. In fact i did respond. Here it is again

Firstly, acting is not like eating the cream off a pastry. It involves effort, training and hard work. Its just that not everybody who puts in hard work can be an actor. You need talent and channeling it requires *effort*. Yeah there is spontaneity and ad-libbing but more often than not, shots require rehearsals.

Secondly, there is a thing called comfort zone. For every jeeva raasi, certain things come naturally and more easily than others

For example, playing a suave young tycoon might come 'naturally' for someone like Run beer Kapoor. For Madhavan, doing AE would not have been 'natural'. There's a comfort zone for every actor. For some actors, either the zone is big or they just push their abilities beyond their comfort zones better than others. For the rarest of rare, its very difficult to identify if there is any comfort zone. They are the greatest.
Thalabadhi - the scenes were Rajini has to explode - he struggles compared to the other scenes in the movie he does very well.
That outburst against Shobana, the scene after the marriage with Banupriya.
Or how about the comedy scenes in Thambikku Endha Ooru/Annamalai, Veera, Dharmathin Thalaivan? Yeah, they were funny but 'natural', 'effortless'? - No!
In comedy, his 'natural/effortless' area would be in Kodi Parakkudhu, Guru Sishyan etc...

Thirdly, (IMO this is the most important point) there is no single silver bullet "solution" or universal "way" of acting. People act differently in different circumstances. Even in the same circumstance, two people may not react the same way. So, a blanket statment like "Rajini acts effortlessly, Kamal tries to put in a lot of effort", "Kamal tries to show off and doesn't care about the script even when he himself is the script writer!", "Kamal wants to impress by acting while other actors are out to do the good old social service or avenge their mother's death" (repeat telecast. Kindly bear with me) - is just plain absurd and does not make an iota of sense.
I've said this before. Going by your definition, Nadigar Thilagam in Vietnam Veedu should be torn to shreds. That's one powerhouse of a performance? Did he have to put in effort? Hell, yeah i'm sure!
Were his reactions "subtle"? (what you people would call 'natural', 'golden fish in an aquarium' etc)- NO? Why? because the role was like that!! Prestige Padmanabhan cannot be Johny.
Kamal has done his share of "cool" "subtle" "natural" "elaneer" (or whatever you chose to call it) roles. Sigappu Rojakkal, Aval Appadithaan, Mikkolu, VV, UPO etc.
And by 'natural' if you mean restrained reactions, calm demeanour, minimal use of facial muscles there would be many scenes in different movies which would warrant those reactions. You can't and shouldn't be a Clint Eastwood in every scene or film.
A Nadigar Thilagam or Kamal cannot just keep acting like Elaneers irrespective of the script. The sheer range of roles they have played is testimony to this. I would like to see any 'natural' actor in a role like Nandu, Guna, prestige Padmanabhan or a VPKB and lets see how 'effortless' it seems!

And pray tell how one would classify a performance like Pushpak :huh:

The best representation of MPD in HUB has been achieved by yours truly. My sakalakalavallavan alter-ego by nom-de-guerre Bala Karthik has given enough clues for you to figure this but nIngallAm avLO pakkuva padala :-)

Maddy,
Plum just said indha pasangalukku ellam padam panradhukku Mani kooda panlaame. This is not undermining Mani. Rather it means, since the perceived problem with Kamal is "give and take" and when he can "give and take" with VV, KSR etc why not with Mani

In the beginning of the movie, thalaivar sees a lady at the ground floor wearing a saree (or changing dress) and smiles to himself. That one scene is enough to showcase he can do the so called "subtle" acting.
