Marion Cotillard Responds To Backlash Over Her Death Scene In Christopher Nolan's THE DARK KNIGHT RISES
Talia al Ghul's death scene towards the end of The Dark Knight Rises is one of the most maligned moments in CBM history, but actress Marion Cotillard thinks people tend to make a bit too much of it...
The final instalment in Christopher Nolan's acclaimed Batman trilogy, The Dark Knight Rises, has been out for years at this stage, but the scene in which Marion Cotillard's Talia al Ghul succumbs to her injuries following a devastating crash is still something fans regularly bring up as a source of ridicule.
Though the actress had been great in the role up to that point, there's no denying that Talia's death could have been depicted a little less... awkwardly.
So what went wrong?
In a new interview (translated from French site Allocine), Cotillard speaks for the first time about this, and although she believes people overreacted, she does also seem to suggest that perhaps Nolan should have used a different take!
“We’re all in the same boat, and if sometimes it gets out of control, then everyone is involved. Sometimes there are failures, and when you see this on screen, you’re thinking: ‘Why? Why did they keep that take?’ But either you blame everyone or nobody. But I thought people overreacted, because it was tough to be identified just with this scene. When I’m doing the best I can to find the authenticity in every character that I’m playing, it’s tough to be known just for this scene.”
Tell us, have you watched The Dark Knight Rises recently? Does this scene still jar? Sound off below.
