《方法演技》是一部刻意追求搞笑的电影，其不动声色的手法使其更加有趣和令人心酸。具有讽刺意味的是，这部非凡的喜剧电影中的明星是演员李东辉（由他自己扮演），他讨厌喜剧表演。尽管他努力重塑自己，但机会似乎难以捉摸，他发现自己越来越沮丧。出乎意料的是，他收到了一个令人惊讶的邀请，在一部传统古装剧中扮演一位国王。为了完善他对这位威严的皇室人物的刻画，东熙潜心于方法表演。然而，在这部历史剧中，事情很快变得不同寻常。方法演技巧妙地平衡了混乱的拍摄环境和家庭叙事，在处理创造性元素的同时，以无缝的精确度描绘了人物的挣扎，从而产生了一部出色的喜剧。最重要的是，演员们的表演达到了恍惚的程度，确实非常出色。

　　The main character is Dr. Max Holst, a successful neurosurgeon. One day an intense little man named Steinmetz shows up, who has the real ability to create objects out of thin air, using only his mind. As no one believes him at first, he is held at a ward for mental patients, but manifests the key to his door and escapes. As he has a special interest in Dr. Holst, Steinmetz subsequently invites Holst to his large mansion, which is full of expensive paintings and sculptures, and proves to him that he can in fact materialise objects. Steinmetz’s abilities are evolving by leaps and bounds, and is progressing from being able to create objects only to being able to create living things. His ultimate ambition is to be able to create a human being. He tells Dr. Holst that if he will only perform a certain brain operation on him, Steinmetz will become able to attain his goal. He’s got all the necessary equipment set up in his basement. Dr. Holst, however, is too spooked by the whole thing to agree to this mad scheme, and refuses. Steinmetz then sets about manipulating Holst’s life, to pressure him into performing the operation. By then Steinmetz has become able to create a temporary human being, and in the hope that he can perhaps make his own creation perform the operation, he manifests a doppelganger of Dr. Holst. This double proceeds to take over Dr. Holst’s life, creating chaos for him professionally and personally. And then Dr. Holst starts fighting back. The ending has the dual virtue of being both unexpected and satisfying.
