How Robert Pattinson Pulled Off A Hollywood Miracle

- Опубліковано 12 жов 2023
- For a big part of his career, it seemed Robert Pattinson would forever be associated with the Twilight Saga. Though, he wasn't the biggest fan of Twilight in general, so Robbert Pattinson set out to change audience perspective. Working on some critically acclaimed indie projects, Robert Pattinson escaped Twilight by showing off his range as an actor, and choosing the right projects at the right time. But what movie specifically separated him from the sparkling vampires of Twilight?

What some people don't get about Robert is that he's not a bad actor, Edward Cullen is a bad character, and he portrayed him marvelously. He was so good that everyone thought it was him and his acting, but he was actually living the boring cardboard character he had to play for that film. But he wanted more, he wanted to grow and learn, and he has done it in an amazing way.
The funny thing is, even with the terrible character, terrible writing, and terrible direction, he’s still the best actor in the franchise. Now that’s something.
This applies verily to Kristen Stewart as well (but not Lautner I'm afraid)
@@valentinabell4263It’s depressing how many people think Bella IS Kristen Stewart. Like they can’t fathom that’s the character, not bad acting
Um, the character is what the actor, writer, and director bring to it. To imply the actor has no responsibility in the character's portrayal is to not understanding the process of bringing a character to life on the screen.
Robert Pattinson played the part of Edward Cullen very well. An emotionally stunted vampire who’s stuck in a purgatory like state of being permanently 17, full of self loathing but at the same time has to exercise a lot self control to not drink his human girlfriends blood doesn’t fit the definition of boring.
He didn't reinvent himself, he reinvented people's perception of him.
exactly
As someone who read the books (I loved them as a teenager, don’t judge😂), Pattinson literally played Edward EXACTLY as he was written. His character was awkward and super corny. He wasn’t even acting badly in twilight, he was just portraying what was given to him.
I didn't even read the books or watch the movies and even I think that people are way too "shocked" by his good acting just bc he was in twilight
I read all the books too! It was light entertainment for teenagers, nothing to be ashamed of. Boys get to like their "teenage entertainment" well into their 40's, so... 🙄
And yes, Edward was a bad character all around 😂 even then, the fact he watched a girl sleep entering her room every night, even BEFORE they were a thing, gave me goosebumps. And he was so damn boring, dear lord lol exactly the w3t dream of a 45ish yo christian woman, go figure 👀
The books and the movies are a pedo disgrace a 200 year old vamp crushing on a teen girl
He knew that Edward was badly written at that time.
I also think because we also grew up with Harry Potter and Lord of the Rings we seen alot of fantasy.
Maby we where to young to understand the sexual dynamics
I love his story with him calling his agent and saying that he wanted to try out for Batman. His agent was surprised and said that she thought all he wanted to play was total freaks, and Pattinson responded with "Well he is a freak, he's like a different kind of freak."
he took the batman role seriously. he got into shape. I know people were like he is too skinny no he wasn't skinny he was lean muscle there is a difference. he was 176lbs of lean muscle. to compare Christian bale was 189lbs. only a 13lbs difference. Michael Keaton was only 160lbs and no one complained. for me personally i bought the 4K UHD version. and the only negative for me was the film was a little too long. for me putting it at 2h 30mins plus credits would have made better pacing.
@@matthewjuarbe5826i agree, but I really struggle to find the fat to trim. Because even if the pace was ever so slightly off the movie was just so damn beautifully made
that is true I find myself having the same issue when I'm editing my movies. i can watch it i have watched it multiple times and it doesn't feel like 3hrs. but maybe it's because I'm just a fan of Batman so all things batman I can watch it and not care how long it is. @@shottyjonny3972
@@matthewjuarbe5826 it is a long ass film but those 3 hours felt like the fastest 3 hours in my life lol
Tbh I don’t understand people saying The Batman was a slow burn the pacing is incredibly quick in terms of plot revelations.
One of the greatest reinventions of an actor in Hollywood history. He started taking some weird and risky roles, all of which paid off greatly because he truly is one of the best actors of his generation.
Brings to mind Daniel Radcliffe as well, just with a differentish generation. Both are doing what they wanted in the first place, and I'm here for the weirdness.
I think that's a little hyperbole but actually might be pretty close to the truth. But it's like literally one of the worst generations for movies since it really took off in the 90s.
@@Crocogatorthey are almost the same generation, he was a senior of harry in the fourth one. I think daniel radcliffe is awesome, he dont need the money, he is rich and now he is just doing whatever he wants.
Yes, that is a summary of the video we're all watching
@@alanlee67no
I still think along with Willem Dafoe they did two of the greatest performances of 2019 and of the decade with The lighthouse. They were absolutely robbed at the oscars at least for a nomination
Once again the Oscars proved how commercially driven they really are ...
It was in limited release in my town and when it was available, I saw it that weekend. Lighthouse was amazing!
I agree. That movie should have won atleast two academy awards
Absolutely! That and good time
I dont agree with that tbh, what made that movie was the location, the work they did, the bgm and then the acting, they both acted well but they were still kind of carcatures, you can replace them with any other good actor and it would still be the same, replace robert with christian bale or even leo and you wont notice much difference, maybe they will make it better with their screen presence, especially leo, dafoe can also be replaced with someone of the same calibur. Like there are some characters which only one can play for dafoe it would be his green goblin, no one can replace him their or brando in godfather, he is the only guy who can pull it off.
Robert Pattinson and Daniel Radcliff made the perfect career decisions after their big breakout.
I love actors that love indie films. They always have such a fascinating filmography. Love the comedic route Dan Radcliffe has gone as well
Now I want to see Daniel Radcliffe star in the MCU
@@ruleroftheredzone haven't watched mcu in a long time
right! the lighthouse and swiss army man are my two favorite movies
@@JOHNNY_LECTER I love swiss army man so much. I still have yet to see the lighthouse. Trying to get into the right mindspace for it
He simply just did the work. Expanded his range through a variety of films that led to incredible roles
There are people who are known for one role who aren't given the chance to expand
I wouldn’t even say it was putting in the work because some actors/actresses destroy their careers with a role and never get out of that pit. He’s definitely one of a kind
I like this assessment because I think it does say something about his respect for his craft. He didn't expect notoriety to lead to a successful career, he invested in smaller projects to build his experience and resume so when the twilight franchise finished he could come out swinging with a lot more range and acclaim.
Robert Pattinson really is a quintessential example of an extremely talented actor getting a tough break with a casting that would make pretty much anyone a bit of a cultural outcast. He went from starring in one of the most ridiculed film franchises of all time to what I honestly think is the best live-action portrayal of Batman yet (though I understand that is debatable). I truly regret mocking him for the Twilight movies in hindsight.
It was such a bad break getting cast in twilight and making millions and being a heartthrob. I don't know how he got through those dark times.
@@godpilled9077 well then, I guess it wasn’t all bad 😂
@@BrendanPappas 🤣
As a dark knight lover, I went into the new Batman with super low expectations. I don’t think it quite matched up to the dark knight, but I was amazed at how much better it was than I was anticipating.
@@crukih7527 oh I’m with you 100%. The Dark Knight has better pacing, a more interesting story, a far better villain, and still an excellent version of Batman. It’s a superior film in almost every way, as well as the greatest live action Batman movie ever. But I honestly think “The Batman” is the second best, and it was the edgy and subversive superhero movie that we needed at the time.
His death in Harry Potter still make me cry to this day and also think he was one of the best parts of Tenet
Credic's death was heartbreaking, but obviously not because of Pattinson - during the whole movie wasn't a great character nor performance - but because of the scream of Amos' actor (don't know his name, sorry).
I misread your comment as if his death in harry potter was the best part of tenet
...I decided that that's very in line with the rest of tenet plot
@zsoltbartus169 Amos screaming "my boy" still haunts me to this day. It was so heartbreaking.
He'll be voice acting in a new Studio Ghibli movie as well, The Boy and the Heron.
I was dumbfounded when I found out which character he was since he sounded unrecognizable in the trailer.
Gotta give him a lot of respect for stepping out and taking on such creative roles
YEES!!! His voice acting was amazing for the Grey Heron. Full Goblin mode voice.
It was so good that I genuinely couldn’t get myself to picture him AT ALL during the whole movie. I tried so hard but I couldn’t see his beautiful face behind that voice!!!! He did so good
Haven't even seen the movie but I heard his voice for that role. It's insane how he did that.
I'd like to see him and Radcliffe reunite in something now. I've never been a fan of the Potter movies but have become a fan of his from everything I've seen him in since playing Harry and also because he's a really nice guy in real life.
yes yes i have been thinking this!! daniel has done the work to distance himself from harry, the same way robert did with edward. it would be perfect harmony to see them in a weird indie film together, since thats the genre they have in common these days
Maybe we can have Radcliffe as Logan and pattinson as Cyclops...?
Which Batman rogues gallery do you guys see Daniel Radcliffe playing? I see him doing a really good Mad Hatter or Scarecrow. That would be a killer opportunity for Pattinson and Radcliffe to be on screen together again.
I am very in favor of a gritty X-Men reboot.
@@maxd1541I agree. Dan Rad would make an excellent Scare-crow.
Much respect to Robert. He didn't sit down and cry about his circumstances. He picked himself up and put in the effort to change it.
That's what people never understood. He took Twilight for the money, pure and simple, so that later on he could afford to pick the roles that HE actually wanted to so
Well it would be a bold move to cry about being a multimillionaire cause the franchise exploded. He just did what was right for him. Using his money to do what he likes, which resulted at him getting not only arthouse roles.
It was a financial decision but he didn't take into account his reputation. His conversion truly is a miracle. When I watched lighthouse and when my friend told me that this was the twilight dude, I was shocked.
I think Andrew Garfield's career is evolving in a somewhat similar way to Pattinson's. Going from feeling trapped in the movie making "machine" after Amazing Spider-Man 2, using theatre as a back door in the same way Pattinson used indie films, and finally making a comeback in blockbusters with Indie sensibilities. Tik Tik Boom was his Lighthouse
Edit: I know Garfield and Pattinson have not had totally identical careers which is why I said "Somewhat similar". The biggest difference being Pattinson had a far deeper hole to dig himself out of while Garfield had a lot of success before and after TASM 2. I mainly just thought they had interesting parallels in that they both got road blocked by really bad Hollywood blockbusters and had to do substantial work to get back on track
Would you say No Way Home was his The Batman, then? A big budget franchise movie that showed the issues with his previous franchise was the writing and not the acting?
It's weird that I always felt that Andrew's Spider-man was the most real Spider-man we could have ever got. I never hated the movies even. The cinematography, the score, the fight sequences and his chemistry with Emma Stone was just perfect. His portrayal of the Spider-man was actually what I expected Spidey to be.
@@Professor-id4jh he was too good looking to be spiderman. It seemed like he was the one picking on his "bullies" because he was so tall and handsome.
Fun fact-They both were roommates back in the early 2000s!
I still think the social network is Andrew's best role
Before Batman, I could only see Robert Pattinson as Edward. Now I can mostly see him as Batman.
What about Cedric Diggory
Teen Emo Batman is cringe
Tenet, Lighthouse and Batman
Guy is a fucking legend
I mostly see him as the Tenet companion. The best companion.
Young Batman if you watched that one scene in the flash ben Affleck was unfairly robbed from Bruce Wayne
Jake gyllenhal needs an episode… he was always famous… but I don’t feel like he’s ever really gotten the recognition for his dedication and passion in so many roles.
I wouldn't exactly call Brokeback Mountain underrated. That was Gyllenhaal's star turn for me.
I can honestly say Jake Gyllenhaal is probably my favorite actor of this era .. from movies like the good girl , Donnie Darko, his range is incredible . He's been acting for a long time and his characters like the night stalker are an obvious statement of the talent he has. Pattinson surprised me with batman and I started to like him and then after watching the Lighthouse I knew the dude had that special skill as an artist that he's able to bring the viewers attention in and make his character interesting and hold the imagination. His acting in the lighthouse is on another level . But yeah Gyllenhaal is set a a part as an actor
I think Jake for me is this gens Robert. Jake has phenomenal range, and I feel like it's not appreciated enough. His performance in Nightcrawler scared tf out of me. As did Prisoners.
Good time and lighthouse really showed me that Pattinson has evolved beyond Twilight. After I saw him in tenant, his casting as Batman just made sense. I feel like Batman has brought everything together for him as an actor. Batman is such a complex character and Pattinson is one of the few actors that can capture that complexity. Can’t wait for The Batman 2
He's got even more to do in the next film. I'm really looking forward to seeing the mask of Bruce Wayne that Pattinson will put on.
One of my buddies paid close attention to his career after Twilight and showed me how good of an actor he was in those indie films. And I am genuinely pleased to see him break into relevancy again, because he really is a good actor. He deserves his success.
I don’t think that the main problem was his bad acting in the first place, it’s simply just the material and cooperative stuff they give him to work with.
A couple actors that definitely would be cool to look into if you guys haven't covered them already are Jack Black going from the not so family friendly to vary family friendly. And Robert Downey Jr. Who triumphed not only is an actor but also turning around his life completely.
i'm pretty sure they covered rdj, but i would be interested in something about jack black, for sure.
They have already did a video on both. Maybe a video on Brendan Fraser
Hard to believe where Downey once was considering where he is now. He was absolute pure trash at once point who belonged in jail. And now? DAMN. I can understand him not wanting his past to define him, but for those who need an example of turning their lives around, he’s a poster boy.
@@noelletakesthesky3977 lol pretty harsh criticism. he is a former drug addict who lived his whole life in hollywood, probably the epicenter of vices in america.
@@noelletakesthesky3977 More dehumanizing language. Great.
I feel like Kristen Stewart deserves a video like this too. Like Robert, she also reinvented herself by choosing a better career path and doing smaller, critically acclaimed indies and dramas after Twilight. From being a punchline to a respected Oscar nominated actress for playing Princess Diana was no easy feat and should be talked about more.
Almost everything I've seen her in she's been awful even after Twilight... >__>
I just never bought her in roles or found her believable, and her facial expressions often come off as distractingly overacted. But then again, I haven't seen her in anything for a long time.
I actually dismissed Kristen Stewart after Twilight (I actually liked the other characters including Robert Pattinson) but Kristen was really bad. Until I started watching some of the movies post-Twilight and realized she wasn’t as bad as I thought she was.
So, Twilight was good but Twilight was also unfair to characters who played their roles splendidly.
Err… did I say Twilight was good? Redaction, please.
Her performance as Princess Diana was so fucking real and haunting, like I had a hard time connecting that with the mouth always open girl who would vibrate for no reason from Twilight.
I only saw _Twilight_ because it starred Kristen Stewart who moved me to tears from her performance in _Speak._ Having Cedric Diggory from Harry Potter and the director of _Thirteen_ were also convincing.
I ended up really mad at my friends for dragging me along to the theater and for thinking the resumes of the director and stars were proof the movie would be good.
I also watched it because of Kristen Stewart, because I liked her in Panic Room with Jodi Foster. Also, Rachel Lefevre due to Big Wolf on Campus
And thr fact he is doing voice acting in The Boy and the Heron is also a sign of his range. He was fantastic in that movie
The Robert Pattinson (batman) and Kristen Stewart (Spencer) renaissance is among us and I could not be more thrilled. They've both been acting in fantastic stuff (Harry Potter for Pattinson, Adventureland for Stewart) before twilight but people hate the movie so much that they overlooked them entirely.
He escaped what many actors/actresses couldn't. A typecast. I loved his interpretation of Bruce Wayne/Batman I am interested to see where he takes the character in future films.
For reasons personal to me, The Lighthouse and its weird insane energy changed my life and gave me the strength to get myself out of a bad situation. It’s an incredibly powerful movie and my favorite Robert Eggers film.
He knew what was up. Even during the filming of Twilight he was poking fun at his performance. Then he did some arthouse films to prove he was serious about acting and here we are now, he's on the mainstream as a respected actor.
Been a fan of his since Twilight. He's such an amazing actor.
same as i didn't love his performance in twilight but really enjoyed his interviews. was kind of rooting for the guy since then
Robert Pattinson played the part of Edward Cullen very well. Expertly playing him as a soulful, loving guy but also balancing the idea that he’s emotionally stunted and is full of self loathing that he might just snap at any moment.
Both Robert Pattinson and Daniel Radcliffe became famous for playing the main character of a beloved fantasy series. Both tried to shed their mainstream image by working in usually unusual, usually indie films. Pattinson got his next big break when he was casted as Batman. So if Radcliffe becomes Wolverine, then their journeys would really mirror each others. But if not, then Weird Al can be his Batman.
Best and most interesting Batman so far. Also love him in Good Time.
My mom, who had a very sharp intuition when it came to people, always said that she had a good feeling about Robert Pattinson. And this was when she'd first seen him as Edward from Twilight.
She was right. Robert's not just talented but also hard-working and disciplined enough to learn about the characters he's playing. He's not taking his unique looks, connections, and fans for granted. And he knows how to play the long game, especially in an industry where your candle could burn out as quickly as it was lit.
I watched The Lighthouse for the first time a couple of months ago and is absolutely my film of the year. It was so beautiful I could have paused it at any frame and put it as a print on my wall, (maybe except for the scenes of Robert in the shed.) Anyhoo I loved it, they were both brilliant and Robert just keeps doing these unexpected but brilliant things. Like Dan Radcliffe actually.
It blew my mind that most only saw him as Twilight boy when he was announcdd for Batman. The indies he did after Twilight showed me immediately he was going to be an epic Batman.
People need to realize that just because someone may have been fitted with a less than popular role, it doesn't mean they have no talent. A lot of the time, a poor performance could be linked back to the direction they were given. You could have one of the best actors in the world playing Edward, but without good direction they wouldn't fare much better. And when it came to the announcement that he was playing Batman, I waited to reserve my judgement, and I'm glad I did.
You didn't mention his role in The King (Netflix) which in my opinion cemented the studios opinion on Pattinson as a true 'name'. His presence in that movie, which is basically reduced to a cameo, steals every scene.
His movie Remember Me is one of my all time favorites. His scene with the dad at the end was phenomenal
YES
He's currently one of the best actors working. From a certein time he never misses
Robert Pattinson and Daniel Radcliffe are both living the dream. Find financial success at a young age and spend the rest of your life chasing your passions. I suppose you could also say that pursuing their passion for acting is what lead them to financial success.
Matthew McConaughey is really the only actor I can think of who reimagined their image more successfully
I think Logan Lerman took the same path. He navigates pretty well between mainstream and indie movies and he didn't let Percy Jackson franchise defined his career.
He even worked as a producer in some really good independent movies.
A top actor must not only be good at acting. He/She must also be good at picking projects.
I 100% trust Pattinson intuition at joining valuable and interesting projects. Watching a good performance is a bonus.
This! Some actors are good at what they do but they have bad agents and they suck at choosing roles. I feel a Mark Wahlberg is one of these. Half of his movies are good the other half are very questionable.
He is one of the best active actors in Hollywood right now.
I love Robert, he’s a great actor. I fell in love with his acting in Lost City of Z, and I can’t get enough of him ever since
His role in The King as the prince of France was also good. After I watched it i was excited to see him as the Batman.
He had one of the best indie runs in the last decade
Great video!! Pattinson is one of my favorite actors these days. I loved his take on this version of Batman. He was incredible in GoodTime!! I also thought he was amazing as the pastor in The Devil all the Time a couple years ago. This guy really does have range that is near the top
great video! I have so much respect for Pattinson. Hard work and dedication really pay off in the long run
One of his latest performances that really baffles you is The King starred by Timothee Chalamet. That scene where they first meet he eats right up. Man has dimensions for days.
I think his willingness to do the low budget, art focused, films, really helped him gain just an overall high level respect. He could have just ran with the super stardom, grab his heartthrob dollar, and dip out before he washed out.
Robert Pattinson is incredible. He is his own Lighthouse
By trusting in himself and being brave enough to face challenges with every role. Inspirational guy, really.
Best video yet mate masterclass in modern success stories of the 21st century
Robert was always slept on, glad he’s being recognized
I missed most lf the movies you mentioned with him. But his role in tenet. Really made me see him differently. Then i saw he was going to be Batman and I thought he could do it. Glad hes going places
I really liked this take, the tone this analysis was written in was a refreshing mix of empathetic and really well researched /informed. This quality of youtubing kind of parallels the redeemed artistic integrity the video was talking about, of finding great analytical content the platform can provide for me after sometimes finding it difficult to wade through droves of film analysis videos relying on controversy or gossip and regurgitative "top ten yadda yadda" formats. Cheers! Just thought I'd shout you out since you did such a great job of highlighting the triumph of a guy who rose through the rough.
Im really glad that him and Zac Effron were able to show people how talented they actually are
The first Pattinson movie I watched was Good Time. It is a great movie and eminently rewatchable.
7:39 - this line about extreme and unusual fits perfectly to Dan Radcliffe too.
robert pattinson found a formula: pick projects with talented directors n cinematographer in it
What a lovely take on him as an actor. I’d be interested in watching some of his indie work, especially Good Time.
It was Radcliffe a few videos ago, and now Pattinson. It just showed how good those Brits are when delving in the craft of acting
well done Robert.
I must leave a comment to ensure UA-cam graces me with more of such fine content. Excellent work, I thoroughly enjoyed it!
Him and Daniel Radcliffe really dug themselves out of the stereotypes people knew them for and rebranded themselves as passionate artists in their field. Jacob Elordi is also one of those people on a journey of becoming a major player in Hollywood and moving away from romcoms.
Really liked Pattinson in Batman, hope to see more of that.
As someone who knows twilight the movies, and have watched the lighthouse and the Batman, I had no clue that the main actor was the same. It’s crazy what he’s done with his career a complete 180.
that was an awesome review, from start to finish.
Remember Me should be mentioned more often. It made me cry for many reasons, one of my favorite roles of his, such a good movie, i could really feel the emotion through his character
Pattinson's case is the perfect example of diamond staying brilliant even in the dirtiest mud.
He was born to act. He got that talent. Thus he's not afraid to explore.
The exciting thing is that he's still relatively young as an actor. When he hits 40 and beyond, we will see more of him.
Man, do I love Robert Pattinson. Dude's a phenomenal actor.
The Lighthouse is one of the best films I have seen in a long time. Absolutely brilliant.
Good time one of the best character portrayals ever by Robert Pattinson. The man can ACT. He’s for real, very very good.
The Rover is such an underrated movie
I honestly don't think he was bad in Twilight. Yeah the movies are dumb but I don't think Robert's acting is that bad. It's more the script's fault than his.
I knew from Goblet of Fire that he's a great actor. Most people just underestimated him and he proved them all wrong.
Same. I thought he was Edward come alive - now whether that's good or bad is its own question 😂
I saw some behind the scenes back then, and recall that most if not all, the cringe moments were inserted by the director and Stephanie Meyer. They literally made him catch that apple to emulate the book cover dozens of times 🙄
Matt Reeves saw Goodtime and loved Robs performance and after seeing it he thought there’s my Batman
Thank you for this video. I never saw Twilight, and always knew Pattinson as “the guy from the vampire movies for tween girls.” Then I saw the Lighthouse and I was blown away. Because of that, I didn’t hesitate to see The Batman. But ever since I’d been wondering how he had managed to pivot like that. Like you said, it’s a feat rarely seen. I have tremendous respect for the guy and I’m glad you’re sharing a bit of his history so audiences can better understand how dedicated and hardworking Pattinson really is. He deserves the accolades he’s getting. Great video!
Also, we can tell his career is going to continue in this good streak as he is in The Boy and the Heron (dir. Hayao Miyazaki) and the lead in Mickey 17 (dir. Bong Joon-ho). And of course The Batman: Part II
it is insane what he pulled off and its in large part because of safdie brothers, he has some of the greatest performances ever in the batman, the lighthouse and good time its insane
Pattinson & Radcliffe did such a good job and not letting themselves get type cast.
Excellent actor in everything he has done , and also an excellent musician...his voice and song writing works are amazing.
Never saw Twilight, remember the memes though. After seeing him in other films recently, I'm glad he escaped that. He's passionate about his craft and delivers some great performances.
After LightHouse I went totally the opposite with my opinion on Pattinson than how I seen him before. It was absolutely mindblowing, and loved his Batman movie too.
So yup. After twilight, I managed to accept Pattinson's talent.
Stewart on the other hand, couldnt do anything to have the same. 😅
Kristen Stewart literally was just Oscar nominated. She has put in some work too.
@@The_RedVIII sure. And we all know oscar is actually the most prominent, most honest rewarding ever...
On paper only. Dont be silly. Also, why should I care about oscars again when it comes to PERSONAL opinions?!
Yeah, I don't understand. She is made of wood, is expressionless and is one of those people that always basically play themselves. She is not very different from character to character and we she tries to emote a little bit, it comes as unnatural and cringy.
How some people not only get to be actors but even become that big while being terrible, is beyond me.
At least Nic Cage is crazy and kind of hilarious in his own special way. But this woman has nothing (at least imo).
I love this guy so much... I've seen every movies of him and he always put up a show..
i loved the twilight books and all the actors in the movies portrayed the characters immaculately. the "bad acting" was bad writing, not bad acting. i loved the movies so much because unlike many adaptations of books, they were flawless. it was as if i was reading the books again watching them. robert pattinson was always one of my favorite actors because of this franchise.
He made huge money early on Twilight. It gave him a safe net to experiment artistically. He wanted to show his talent, not to make money
I think he was very smart to go into indie movies instead of taking blockbuster films. But I feel he did something that many actors in his spot don’t do. Many want to be taken seriously but don’t strived to become better. Rob did, he put in the time and hard work to become a better actor and it payed off.
You know, a video is so good when you wish it was longer.
Pattinson should have been at least nominated for an Oscar by now. It will happen one day soon.
Willem Dafoe is as good as any other living actor, he performed to the peak of his abilities in The Lighthouse, and Pattinson perfectly kept up with him. That should say everything you need to know.
I have been happy for him since seeing him hit mainstream success again this time with respect. I had little doubt he would be great in The Batman when it was announced, for years I have seen decent and great actors have their reputation diminished by their roles and (usually) the writing behind them, not by the talent of the actors themselves - comes with the territory of being a Star Wars fan LOL. Plus, while I haven't seen it, I heard The Lighthouse was a good film too.
The Lighthouse is a great movie indeed.
this was a very good insightful video. sometimes your videos come across like an ai script recreating wiki pages with no human interest in the actual project. this was a great step forward. keep up the great work!
One of the best videos about Pattinson's evolution... I loved his first acting (How To Be is still one of my faves) all the way to his amazing performance in The Batman!!! He gave a soul to each single character he played, good and bad...
He's funny and kinda chaotic in his interviews as much as he is dedicated and fully immersed in the role while he's playing... On a side note, he did a great Edward Cullen! One might not like the franchise, and he didn't seem to like it either, but his character was spot on!
Can't wait to see his next movie!! 🌟
As I see it, I think he portrayed the best Batman, much like Heath portrayed the best Joker. Talent, respect for his craft, & it's source material.
As the decades pass, Pattinson just may be the UK's young iteration of our (Yanks) Tom Cruise. Both are literal "acting multi-tools!"
I know it’s super cool and hip to hate on things like Twilight with the hurr hurr “tWiLiGhT sux” routine but tbh most of the acting was exactly as it was intended to be. Robert and Stewart played these characters spot on; it’s just a cheesy, teen romance that isn’t nearly as awful or bad as people like to dogpile with their internet + Nickelback takes.
Not every performance needs to come with the baggage of 3 years of getting into character. Sometimes the story is the point, and sometimes that story is simple. Has absolutely no problem with the first 3 Twilight films. Last two weren’t great though.
He was also amazing in the boy and the Heron! His voice was completely unrecognisable! Very talented and one of my fav actors!
wish you had talked about "the lighhouse" more. it made me respect pattingson again. i feel in love w that movie.
When people said sparkle boy was not a good fit for Batman, I reminded them Beetlejuice became Batman too. Acting capability is far more important than a role they once did
Matthew Mcconaughey is the other obvious one that springs to mind
Yeah. He was so good in A Time to Kill and Lincoln Lawyer but got stuck in a bunch of romcoms. I'm sure they were fun and a nice paycheck but nothing award worthy.
he portrayed Edward exactly as he is described in the books. that is
being a good actor
Props to him, Elijah and Daniel. All THREE of them have been able to shake off typecasting to being respected actors in their own right.
