Ellen Page miscasted?

Go fix your schools before you wage war on other people, please.

She was described as one of Caine's (can't remember his character name) brightest students, but was still an undergraduate. Somebody doing a PhD perhaps would be more plausible.

Weakest actor in this cast but I'm not sure anything was really wrong with their performance.

The word is “miscast”

There are no past or future tenses for “miscast.” It’s ALWAYS “miscast.”

Heavy sigh. Nobody gives a damn about quality.

I thought she was fine. Ariadne was skilled at creating the dream structure and very insightful but also still very young. I don't see why a "darker" take would have been better approach to the performance.

"Maybe someone less "perky" and a bit darker would have been better?"


Apparently the OP has never seen "Hard Candy"🙂

Elliot Page says he got shingles filming 'Inception' because he 'felt out of place' in a 'cast full of cis men'

Elliot Page said he came down with a case of shingles while shooting "Inception" because he was suffering high levels of stress while working on the project and trying to navigate "chaos" in his personal life.

Writing in his new memoir "Pageboy," which was released Tuesday, the actor, who played Ariadne in the 2010 sci-fi film, said that "shingles communicated the stress my body felt" while on set.

Shingles — also known as herpes zoster — is an infection that manifests as a painful rash and typically looks like a strip of blisters but can also cause symptoms including chills, fever, headaches, and vision loss.

"Shingles popped out of my spine while filming 'Inception' when I was twenty-two," he wrote.

"Despite everyone being delightful to work with, I felt out of place," he wrote of the Christopher Nolan-directed movie, adding: "In a cast full of cis men, I did not understand the role I found myself in."

"For the first two weeks of the film I joked I would be recast with Keira Knightley, and rightfully so," he continued.

In the film, Page portrayed an architecture student who is recruited by Dom Cobb (Leonardo DiCaprio) and Arthur (Joseph Gordon-Levitt) to be part of their team, along with Eames (Tom Hardy) and Yusuf (Dileep Rao). His character's specific job is to construct the dreamscapes.

Page shot the movie more than a decade before he underwent his gender transition from female to male. It was also before he had announced publicly that he (while still presenting as female) was attracted to women.
