WTF Happened to EDWARD NORTON?
Рет қаралды 441,648
Күн бұрынLove him or hate him, there are very few actors out there as consistently great as Edward Norton. From his first, explosive starring role in Primal Fear (opposite Richard Gere) through co-starring parts in The People Vs Larry Flynt and more, Norton became one of the hottest stars of the nineties in pretty short order. Within two years of his debut, he was leading American History X, in a performance that drew raves but also revealed the extent of his demand for control behind the scenes, with him infamously feuding with director Tony Kaye.
Nevertheless, his career went from strength to strength for years, with iconic parts in Fight Club, The 25th Hour and more. He was even The Incredible Hulk, but he lost out on the role in The Avengers, once again, due to the difficult label. So WTF Happened to Edward Norton? We go deep into his career in this episode of WTF Happened to This Celebrity, digging into the high points of his career, as well as some of his drier periods. Through it all through, one thing is clear - Edward Norton is absolutely brilliant and really cares about his craft, and if that fact earns him the “difficult” label, so be it. We here at JoBlo are serious fans, as you’ll see here!

One of my all time favorite actors, I really don’t think this dude gets the recognition he deserves. Such a passionate actor with unlimited range.
@lizc6393 2 жыл бұрын
I'm right there with you. Usually when an actor has a reputation for being "hard to work with" it can turn me off to them, I don't have a lot of patience with super successful professionals abusing their coworkers. That being said, how come Christian Bale and Daniel Day-Lewis don't get flack for being asses on set? Christian Bale is a straight up asshole (made apparent also by the recording of him chewing out a sound guy like he insulted his mom or some shit.) But Ed Norton has gotten serious backlash for his "reputation" even though when he put his foot down with a director (American History X,) his vision was universally vindicated. 🤷
@prepperjonpnw6482 2 жыл бұрын
I agree with you. I think to many people fixate on whether or not he’s difficult to work with when they should be paying way more attention to just what a superb actor he is. Unlike so many others in movies he isn’t the same in every film. He actually acts and has range and makes each character he portrays different from all others he has previously done. That’s more rare than you think. As an example there is another actor who I enjoy seeing in films but not for his acting prowess who is basically himself in every role and that’s Ryan Reynolds. He just doesn’t have the range that Edward Norton has and that’s ok because when I go see one of his films I know what to expect. In all honesty though I have more respect for Edward Norton than I do for a lot of actors because of his range and passion for his craft/art. I would go so far as to say that the films he’s been in that didn’t do so well at the box office didn’t fail because of Edward Norton but for other reasons. In another 10-20 years we will look back at his body of work and will definitely be impressed. It’s just sad that he isn’t appreciated as much as he should be right now. Cheers

Well, he was in Birdman and the Grand Budapest Hotel, two of the greatest movies of the last decades, on an artistic level he is doing very well. He also directed a passion project of his in 2019 and has been in every Wes Anderson's movie since 2011. He isn't in Marvel movies or on Jimmy Fallon every 6 months, but I don't think he wants that kind of things anyway. Also, since he became more selective and only worked with directors he deeply respects, there doesn't seem to be nearly as much drama on set.

I think the one thing that summarized Ed Norton for me was an early profile in the Washington Post when his directorial debut Keeping the Faith was about to be released. A high school friend was quoted as saying that Norton had learned fluent Japanese in a year in order to impress a girl. The two lessons one could glean about him from that were that he was smart enough and dedicated enough to do that but also wanted people to know that he was smart enough and dedicated enough to do that. Even if his ego has sometimes gotten in the way, he is a better than average person when it comes to the self-awareness of his foibles and talents and place in the world. He has stuck to his guns even when it cost him. He is probably still the most talented actor of his generation. To paraphrase Pauline Kael regarding Orson Welles, he had such enormous latent talent that he could take material that was beneath him, perform it in such a way that everyone knew he regarded it as beneath him, and still do a better job than everyone else he was working with. If you catch him in a bad interview, it's probably because he's overthinking all the possible implications of everything he says and is trying to do threat modeling in his head while being conversational.

An elite actor with insane levels of talent, able to change mannerisms, facial expressions, posture, accents, and express a range of emotions with just his eyes. Considering his quirky looks the camera loves him and he has immense screen presence. He is such a powerful actor with an incredible resume that his awkward working status should be tolerated, geniuses aren't awash in Hollywood and movies that knock your socks off is certainly worth humouring the Ed Norton's of this world.
@0hMyGandhi 2 жыл бұрын
I really enjoyed Norton's portrayal of Hulk, perhaps because the actor probably suffers from a plethora of undiagnosed mental issues and whose neurotic quirks border on total - psychosis. That kind of psychological detail and especially with his prior roles made him perfect for a character with two very different selves, and an anger problem. He was compelling in the role. I really dig Ruffalo as an actor in general, but never thought he was all that "fun" as Hulk. Ruffalo always seems to come across as someone who is trying to pass a kidney stone in every scene. I get that he's ashamed and a bit embarrassed by his "urges" but his reserved demeanor is just too subtle and obsequious in nature to be all that interesting.

Good use of obsequious in a sentence. lol The thing I would add about Ruffalo is he comes across as desperate for work. Almost like he might at any moment be fired and replaced lol. It wasn’t until he had a few films under his belt that he kind of loosened up and stopped being so desperate and started to do better acting. I don’t remember the title of the film but his role as the whistleblower against Dupont Chemical was incredible. Even the actual man that he portrayed and his wife said he did a good job.

I think he should concentrate on producing and directing even if he has a part in the film. By doing that he ensures he has control over the entire process from beginning to end. I would like to see in a few years after he has a few films to his credit that he at least directed and acted in what those films look like whether or not they make a lot of money. I want to see if him being in control of everything makes for a good film. Something tells me those films will be great and will probably become classics. That should tell you my opinion of him as an actor and as a director.

Geniuses are always "difficult to work with," because they have a unique vision others cannot see, which evokes jealousy and all the bad behaviors that go with that. Everyone needs to just get out of Norton's way and let him do what he wants, so we can all benefit from his rare multi talents.

Chuck Palahniuk gave Fight Club one of the greatest endorsements an adapted work could possibly get. He said that the film made him ashamed of his novel. Not because he disliked the film, on the contrary he said that the film was better than his novel.

@@Mixmastermez Fully agreed. I read the novel and thoroughly enjoyed it. What Palahniuk meant was that he felt the film did a more credible job using his source material than he did in writing the novel. I'm sure he was using the word "ashamed" rather loosely. He said that the changes that were made, such as the way the narrator and Tyler "meet", the ending, and other changes improved the storyline. He also felt the all the actors, particularly the three leads, were perfect representations of their characters. It's an amazing compliment for the film.
