Robert De Niro's Sound Advice

If only every actor, especially indie actor and director understood this, movies would be much more compelling & realistic.  According to Robert De Niro's in this short linked video it is important to understand that it is not necessary to overact by showing the camera what you the actor feels or thinks.  Experience a real emotion in the life of the character and story and the camera will record that because subtleties do not escape the camera.  Look at any of your A-list actors in any film other than comedy and see how their actions compared to everyday people in everyday life.  A-list actors mirror real everyday people without the histrionic gesturing and energy. I for one enjoy engaging my brain when I view film and not having the actors gesture to me what I am suppose to think.
