Strongly disagree. It was a casting against type, that's true. But Williams owned that role. Nolan is great in casting against type. I was really curious to see the result for his Howard Hughes biopic project with Jim Carrey as Hughes, because I knew that he recognize something in other actors performances which most other people are unable to see.Flying Rodent wrote:The castings for Memento, the Prestige, The Dark Knight, Batman Begins and Inception were absolutely perfect.
The only mistake I can see in Nolan's castings is Robin Williams in Insomnia. He was great but that's not the kind of roles which suit him best, in my humble opinion.
Favorite Nolan's Movies Casting
Yeah, Ledger was awesome, but I always thought Aaron was just some inspired, brilliant perfect casting.Crazy Eight wrote:Obviously The Dark Knight. Casting Ledger's one the best things Nolan's ever done.
Also: Anything with Marion Cotillard.

So true, its almost sad that he got so overshadowed by heath, because he put in a fantastic performance.Vader182 wrote:but I always thought Aaron was just some inspired, brilliant perfect casting.Crazy Eight wrote:Obviously The Dark Knight. Casting Ledger's one the best things Nolan's ever done.

My dad says that Heath's acting was incredible because it seemed like he WAS the character.theweatherman wrote:So true, its almost sad that he got so overshadowed by heath, because he put in a fantastic performance.Vader182 wrote: but I always thought Aaron was just some inspired, brilliant perfect casting.

But he said he liked Aaron's performance better.
memento tdk tdkr and prestige followed closely by Inception and Insomnia ofc
even when there's only 3 movies to leave out this is still a hard choice which says enough

People always say it but I don't see it... Aaron was Aaron... he did a decent job but he was the same guy in The Dark Knight as he was in Rabbit Hole, Thank You For Smoking, etc... Heath totally fucking became another person. I mean the performances really aren't even in the same league.theweatherman wrote:So true, its almost sad that he got so overshadowed by heath, because he put in a fantastic performance.Vader182 wrote: but I always thought Aaron was just some inspired, brilliant perfect casting.

I loved everyone in memento, prestige and Inception.
@crazy not everything is about "transforming" he still gave an amazing performance regardless. You really need to understand that because it makes you come off as a snob.

Never said it was, but transformative acting requires more talented than simply reacting... and when done to the highest degree such as Ledger's Joker, reactionary acting just isn't in the same ballpark. It's what separates the greats from the good.allstarr55js wrote:@crazy not everything is about "transforming" he still gave an amazing performance regardless.

You can still be great without "transforming" that is pretty obvious.
