The film is an adaptation of Irish author Christy Brown’s 1954 autobiography of the same title the book and movie roughly cover the first twenty-two years of his life. Lewis’ performance never feels forced, it is as naturalistic as possible for an able-bodied actor playing a disabled character. His role in My Left Foot catapulted him to elite acting status, and it’s easy to see why. But Day’s obsession with his craft and insistence on remaining in character during shooting comes off as endearing and important, and you can’t argue with the results. On anyone else, the term method acting will most likely invoke groans and visions of arrogant on-set demands and bizarre behavior. He so completely embodies the roles he takes that Lewis’ talent seems otherworldly. His small but powerful body of work provides concrete evidence for the existence of the Greek Muses.
Put quite simply: Daniel Day Lewis is the God of Acting.
