Indeed.

Whoop, minor typo in the last text block. Fixed here. (can be -> will be)

Interview with Guillaume Canet:

"This whole story about the scene where Marion’s character dies in The Dark Knight Rises is absolutely not her fault. It’s Nolan’s, who should have used another take. She offered him a multitude of options, and this one is the one he chose… I find it super brave of an actor to offer as many different tracks to a director. After that, it’s his job to be vigilant when faced with his film at the editing stage."

I thought she did just fine, including the death scene. This is just another nitpick people like to blow out of proportion. Yeah it was kinda corney, but it didn't take me out of the movie at all. I've seen way worse.

As for the character itself, she didn't seem particularly important to the story, and I'm not sure why they included her other then to further tie up to the original movie. If someone wants to elaborate on this I'd like to hear it.

MAYBE that death scene was deliberate, illustrating how pathetic is that person. Honestly, do you think Nolan would not have noticed? Is an important scene. I think it was on purpose. Anyone agree?

Very true. I'm surprised at people who blame Cotillard.

I don't see how bad acting emphasizes the pathetic side of a character. That's not how Nolan works anyway.

I wonder how many takes they did of that scene. If she felt it was bad, she could have asked for another.

Apparently, she did different takes but Nolan chose that one.
