The world demanded closure.
this scene will always be hilarious
Watch the dude in the back left
oh wow never seen this one
this is your gawd nolan huh gaf?
As for Nolan his sense of action especially when humans are fighting is pretty bad. Interestingly his action scenes involving vehicles are pretty good, maybe because he doesn't have to add loads of cuts to hide the awful choreography. As we see what happens when he tries the handheld route.
It's why Nolan respects directors like Michael Bay they know how to pull off an action scene and make it look good damm amazing.

What's the clip with the guy rapping? She actually looks genuinely sad/embarrassed for a sec there.
And that's the truth, Rises was just bad and this scene wasn't the reason for it.

Yeah the Batmobile scenes in his trilogy were all good. Far better than the latest one too.
Even in inception I enjoyed the snow sequence on skis and snowmobiles. He's not bad at scenes like this. And his insistence on practical effects made that TDKR opening look fantastic.
He needs to bring in a second unit director for his hand to hand stuff though...should he make another action movie again

Lets hope Affleck copies this and actually makes a good movie

I don't blame her, but it wasn't unfair. Nolan's movies were mostly unprecedented, and set an example in many ways.

Hey man, maybe her hair got in his eyes and it really stung. You don't know!

this is a perfectly shot scene
Yeah, stuff like this is also kind of dishonest. If you slowed down every fight scene, or looped 2 seconds over and over while removing frames, you can find a lot of faults with every movie or just make things look dumber than they normally look.
It's a sketch

It's probably just in there to emphasize that people in France are pretty aware of it

I think the lesson here is it's easy to make anything look stupid if you choose a 3 second gif to show the scene. Not defending TDKR here either, it's a bad movie for other reasons, but I think its choreography and Talia's death were fine.

Not a lot of scenes are supposed to be seen in a slowmo looping gif.

Just saw that this is on HBO. Gonna watch it right now.
No, I get that, but her reaction when he said that + what she said in the interview, she makes it pretty clear that she's bummed out about the situation. Of course she was just acting in the sketch but in real life she feels that way.
I disagree in the thinking this was not. /repeat

I mean, I watched this loop like 4 times before I realized the problem was with the "headbutt" looking bad.
I thought you were making a statement about the "Dead or Alive" jiggle

Bayonetta?
If you were one of the world's currently most critically acclaimed actresses, and the thing you seem to be most known for in one of the biggest markets in the world is a crap death scene in a major blockbuster, I think you'd be pretty bummed out if people kept talking about it rather than her string of superb performances.
Yet she still signed up for Assassin's Creed, so...

Ain't nobody looking at the guy behind her.

Spends weeks on chalk drawing storyline,
spends 10s choosing final take for Oscar winner death scene
Nolan's gotta be the only guy who wears full business attire every day to work on a movie set. Like, it's dirty, it's long hours, it's uncomfortable. Who wants to be dressed in a nice suit for that?
Someone should start a GoFundMe for Nolan for a few polos and a good pair of slacks.
I feel sad that this moment had such a big effect on her. She is amazing and this one moment should not define her acting abilities. This movie was meant to be dark but it had much of the old batman movies silliness. So why nolan or the edit team decided on this take and all other silliness was prob becuz he wanted that effect. I hope she realizes that now and doesnt consider this her failure.

No one posted a gif of it. That's weird.
It's just too bad it's wrapped in nearly three hours of shit. Deeply boring and harboring on a hate crime being perpetrated on cinema at large shit.
Great scene tho.
Cotillard getting too much hate for something outta her hands. Nolan deserves the bigger slice of that than anyone else for fumbling so hard on Rises.
Don't hate on this, in high school a girl whipped her hair around while she was sitting in front of me and I got hit in the eye. That shit hurt pretty bad, and you'd definitely flinch like that.
superhero movies were a mistake
Wow. That kind of makes me feel bad for her, and I would have been pissed too. I'm not a huge fan of Nolan's Batman movies (or Nolan, really) but he's talented enough to view some of those in dailies and realize they aren't okay. There's some truly horrible shit in those movies, both from a writing and technical standpoint that it's hard for me to believe that he had a hand in editing or saw a final cut (or cared to).

I like to assume Nolan chose the cartoonish take as a way to provide 100% closure on her death because of the folks who believed Harvey Dent was alive at the end of TDK.
