Question

Can you learn acting by watching movies(the good ones)???

Answer 1

You learn acting by acting, not by watching it. But it really can be inspiring to see good actors at work. You can learn from their passion and their realness on the screen. Good performances should motivate you to act because of how beautiful the artform itself is. But like I said, you don't learn from just watching...you have to learn from your own experiences and not from someone else's.

Answer 2

Grab a friend or two, and each of you pick one to two main characters then just act out the scenes with them. It's really fun and hard. A good movie to do this with is Pirates of the Caribbean 3. Have fun and good luck!
