Since this gif always gets posted here I thought I should post

Honestly I was more bothered by Batman's dumbass expression (who showed up out of nowhere). Even missed her death scene in theaters because I laughed so hard at that.

[Sliver]

Man, I did not like that movie.

She's great though.

 

[Deleted member 465307]

...did that guy on the left just fall over?

 

[IdreamofHIME]

CAUTION: Slippy surface.

 

[John Kowalski]

You can see it's taken its toll on her.

 

[Haloid1177]

After the killer Batfleck fight this is even worse.

 

[mrkgoo]

What exactly is the problem with the death scene? Is to because she sort of rocks her head in an unrealistic manner?

 

[ItIsOkBro]

Oh my god I thought she'd be joking about it but the interview is so sombre

 

[Two Words]

Haha, I watched it like 3 times thinking "that dude just put his chin out to get knocked out" before noticing the guy on the very list taking himself out.

 

[The Illiterati]

Class act. This reaction(that she is a crap actress) is what you get when fanboys have never watched anything but superhero films.

 

[TheLostBigBoss]

...did that guy on the left just fall over?

Pretty sure there is audio of a gun going off, the man who gets hit by batman shoots his hand gun and it "hits" the guy in the knee.

However, they don't really show blood/gunshots in Nolan's Batman movies, like the intro in Dark Knight Rises.

 

[Shaanyboi]

...did that guy on the left just fall over?

Yes. Though I think the implication is that the dude with the handgun that Batman kicks accidentally fires it into the other dude... I think.

Either way, the fight choreography in this movie is hilariously bad, with all these guys making these unnatural wide-ass swings with their guns to give Batman time to stop them.

It looks incredibly silly and helps to highlight just how ridiculous her character was by the end of the film.

It's less on her and more on Nolan, who really should have known better.

 

[NastyBook]

THANK YOU. And people actually tried to forgive/overlook this shit. Nolanverse Batman fights are pure garbage, and I thank Zack Snyder EVERY DAY for driving that point home.

BVS Batman was literally Arkham series Batman + killing.

 

[WrenchNinja]

Man, it seems like it really did bother her. I mean yeah the death is bad, but not that bad.

 

[George Oscar Bluth II]

It was a bad take and the reaction was really quite bizarre. So many going as far to call her a bad actress and I can't help but laugh. Utterly clueless the fanboys are.

 

[Kinyou]

That was way more serious than I expected

 

[Fox Mulder]

Movie sucks, not her fault.

 

[Jetman]

Class act. This reaction(that she is a crap actress) is what you get when fanboys have never watched anything but superhero films.

Yeah, feel kind of bad for her. Sounds like multiple takes were filmed? I would like to see those out of curiosity...

 

[War Peaceman]

It didn't really need an explanation. We all know they choose a weird take. She is a very good actor and I respect how frustrated she was about this; she clearly cares for her work.

Were multiple takes filmed?!

 

[Puck Beaverton]

I'm surprised she let nerds get to her like that.

 

[Count of Monte Sawed-Off]

Movie sucks, not her fault.

Yep.

 

[Stairouais]

It's more like she has a cold in the interview.

The way she speaks about it at the end, I think she doesn't give a shit.

 

[entremet]

Horrible, horrible movie.

Time hasn't be kind to it.

 

[Sub_Level]

After the killer Batfleck fight this is even worse.

For you.

 

[xxracerxx]

Add a muzzle flash to the guy in the middles gun and it makes sense.

 

[mrkgoo]

It's less on her and more on Nolan, who really should have known better.

But what's "silly" about it?

I mean I never really found it to be an issue the first (and only) time I saw that film. Maybe I missed the absurdity through the other problems, and while it's not a great death scene I'm not sure anyone has explained why it's garnered the reaction it has.

 

[shira]

Spends weeks on chalk drawing storyline,
spends 10s choosing final take for Oscar winner death scene

 

[zma1013]

...did that guy on the left just fall over?

I think he's supposed to be getting shot by the gun Batman kicks but there's no muzzle flash added.

 

[SporeCrawler]

I remember nothing about this scene. She was one of the better characters in this whole movie though

 

[LegalEagleMike]

I always thought the dumbest part of that scene was letting her ramble on for so long when theres such little time left on the bomb. The death scene sucks but its not as bad as that kiss shortly after.

 

[Alienous]

Her response is even more needlessly dramatic than the awful acting.

 

[Escape Goat]

 

[Dabanton]

We're people actually suggesting she was a bad actress?

TDKR was the worst of the trilogy saved by a few highlights. Now people can actually admit it was a heavy drop in quality from Batman Begins and TDK

 

[Oregano]

THANK YOU. And people actually tried to forgive/overlook this shit. Nolanverse Batman fights are pure garbage, and I thank Zack Snyder EVERY DAY for driving that point home.

BVS Batman was literally Arkham series Batman + killing.

To be fair the Knightmare fight in BvS is not much better but that's because it was one long take.

 

[ItIsOkBro]

Add a muzzle flash to the guy in the middles gun and it makes sense.

All of Nolan's films have a distracting lack of muzzle flash.

 

[Anung]

It was a horrible scene but she is a fine actress so I'm more likely to blame Nolan or whoever edited the movie for allowing that take to be in the final film. Unless that was the best take they got...which would be brutal.

It is hilariously bad though.

 

[Discotheque]

For a genre that is essentially action films it's kinda crazy that the movie with some of the more crappier action scenes (TDK) is arguably the best one of them all and certainly a high bar. It made up for its shortcomings with everything else.

Damn shame Nolan didn't have the snyder batman costume or choreography. God damn that warehouse scene was cathartic after like 40 years of mediocre batman action on screen

Marion Cotillard is a great actress but I wasn't a big fan of her in the Nolan films she starred in. She wasn't bad but ehhh. Hathaway was much better in TDKR

 

[Moff]

Were multiple takes filmed?!

I don't know anything about filmmaking, but isn't it super uncommon to film only one take, unless it's a very expensive scene? which this clearly isn't.

it's obviously on nolan either way, dude phoned that movie in

 

[Puck Beaverton]

We're people actually suggesting she was a bad actress?

Yep

 

[RibMan]

What exactly is the problem with the death scene? Is to because she sort of rocks her head in an unrealistic manner?

Yes. As dumb as it sounds, it's like a weird animation in a game. It just made you -- the viewer -- wonder "Why didn't they do another take?"

Obviously, the rest of the movie is just as questionable, so it's clearly not a problem with the on-screen talent. Weird choices in that movie.

 

[oti]

lol what was that

Man, I even watched the movie and forgot this scene.

 

[Gnome]

That whole scene was badly directed.

Just saw her in Allied last night. She's really good, Brad Pitt actually holds her performance back a bit.

 

[TAJ]

Class act. This reaction(that she is a crap actress) is what you get when fanboys have never watched anything but superhero films.

There is not a single person on Earth who falls into that category.

 

[Krejlooc]

You meant this as praise to BVS, but anybody with taste will take it as yet another knock on that shitty movie.

 

[Escape Goat]

Did we get the shot? Chris?

Chris?

Jesus, Marion. I said I'm busy.

 

[Gnome]

Zach Snyder is good at framing a movie to feel like a comic book.

And that's the only praise I'll give him.

 

[nhlducks35]

Watch the dude in the back left

And back right

 

[Blader]

It's embarrassing this came up in an interview at all.
