Busta Chimes.wav posted:How much credit should we give to directors for bringing a certain performance out of an actor? Even when not going to extremes, like Roman Polanski asking Mia Farrow to walk through traffic in Rosemary's Baby, direction has a large influence on how an actor plays a part. Is it even possible to separate the two? I think the Star Wars prequels are the biggest argument in support of director/actor dependency. George Lucas managed to intentionally force crappy performances on an entire cast of powerhouse actors. I mean, forget Black Swan, anyone who thinks Natalie Portman can't act needs to watch Hesher. Which is also an excellent example of understated transformation. She perfectly portrays the semi-smart but awkward uncared for girl with low self esteem. She can't even bring herself to ask for more hours at the food mart, just the exact opposite of assertive. She didn't get an Oscar nod for it but she probably should have.
