&#8220;You would be foolish to push her off&#8230;&#8221;: Jason Bateman Explains Ruth’s Death and How Julia Garner Executed It

Several weeks have passed since one of the greatest Netflix shows of all times
met its end. Yes, we are indeed talking about the brilliant crime thriller
Ozark. Even after 3 long months, it seems as if we were just enjoying the very
perfection of Ozark yesterday. And that is all because of the sheer dedication
of everyone attached to the project. Be it Jason Bateman, Julia Garner, or Chris
Mundy. Literally, every single person worked with their heart for the show.

While the show was nothing but perfection from start to end, there was one thing
that left all viewers shattered: The death of Julia Garner’s character, Ruth
Langmore. A scene that sends shivers down the spine is indeed one of the most
painful things we have seen in the series. But how did it all come together? How
did they shoot this sequence? Director Jason Bateman revealed it all in a recent
interview.


JASON BATEMAN BREAKS DOWN RUTH LANGMORE’S DEATH IN THE OZARK FINALE

“In eliminating such a beloved character, you’re dealing with a potentially
volatile situation with respect to the audience.“

Bateman reveals the stakes and how killing a character as loved and celebrated
as Ruth Langmore [http://netflixjunkie.com/tag/ruth-langmore] can indeed turn
out to be a buzzkill. However, amidst all the other things that Bateman needed
to worry about, including lights, music, cameras, and more, Julia Garner
[https://netflixjunkie.com/tag/julia-garner] was the last of his concern, mainly
because of the sheer dedication the actress has towards her work.

Bateman said that Garner always came prepared for her scenes, and always brought
things with herself. “You would be foolish to push her off anything she brings
because from that commitment comes this ferocity of communication,” Bateman
says. He also says that his job as a director is to help her do what she is
excited about because that is the best version to work on, and not Jason’s
[https://netflixjunkie.com/tag/jason-bateman] own vision.
