I hope you're joking.

I hope you are. :lol:

Fassy even admitted it was like playing himself in this role, they even doctored the role to make him use his normal accent. :facepalm:

So that doesn't mean he transformed? Lol. The subtlety of his transformation is genius. Any actor out there that loves women and loves to fuck them who's gonna play a sex addict would say that the role is like playing himself because he has this inner sex-addiction. It's not something that's so rare. So his statement is obvious. It doesn't deny the fact that he made some subtle choices that are far from being part of the medium of naturalism.

I got this information from your mentor. Talli said the performance was so tough to watch because it was like watching Michael in this situation and what made the performance so great was the naturalistic raw and powerful emotion. In short he did not transform which is obvious and even something talli admitted.

So if talli says one thing then that must be it? Coming from the guy who always accused me or others for hacking talli's account. LOL

Dude. Like I said, his naturalistic performance was raw... but he also made some choices that are completely theatrical. His transformation was subtle due to his incredible naturalistic work.

I don't really care if he 'transformed' or not, I too think he gave a damn good performance.

Watch him during the interviews or in some other movies, than watch him in Shame. Fassy wasn't Fassy at all, no matter what he said, he likes to ''troll'' during his interviews because he's modest.

I feel like he couldve achieved deeper content had he hid himself in characterization

Using metaphors doesn't mean you're actually saying something that makes sense.

''If Fassbender achieved to transform into an armadillo he would, in fact, be an armadillo.''

What are you trying to say, he wasn't on 100% for this role? What was it then, 70-80%?
