Fragility in action

 Christopher Nolan tells Timothée Chalamet about the "Interstellar" scene where "you were hitting a dark tone. It felt too much for me. I didn’t particularly like it." 


Nolan


“When you were filming the messages from home, there was a particular thing where you were hitting a dark tone... I told you about it and you went ahead and did whatever the f*ck you wanted and carried on. But I was like, ‘He knows what he wants to do and has an idea.’ It wasn’t about being stubborn. You had planned what you wanted to do. You planned your choices and you didn’t want to abandon that on a casual whim for me. You wanted to test that and challenge that and see if I kept coming back, which I didn’t. I’ll find a logic to that in the edit suite.”

Chalamet has a huge huge one dimensional ego which happens only with narcissistic personalities. A type of Hollywood disorder. Chalamet definitely is not alone but Nolan debunks what is Chalamets true character flaw. As an actor I can personally appreciate. I learn to dispel what is desperate in actors trying to compete with everyone around. There is irony to be found.


Chalamet comes across as selfish an attitude that Nolan simply refutes without harm.
