Chapter 550: After the King, There Are No More Clowns

In the theater, after the premiere of "Batman" ended, no one made a sound during the three-and-a-half-minute end credits.

Even if the end of the film comes to an abrupt end, half a minute, the theater is like a pin drop, and it is very quiet.

This movie is depressing to watch, with dark colors.

The people present are all people who really like movies.

Naturally, everyone was fully engaged, immersed in the story, and couldn't extricate themselves for a while.

The result is still relatively sober, and the publisher who has watched "Batman" several times stood up and took the lead in applauding.

Suddenly.

Everyone came back to their senses, and the theater burst into applause.

This is not perfunctory, it is applause from the heart.

Some movies premiere, the story is full of loopholes, the actors' acting skills are embarrassing, commonly known as bad movies, and those who are invited to watch the movie will give the distributor and crew polite applause no matter how much they deny the movie in their hearts after the film is played.

Nolan and Belle Prince Ann and other main crew members sat in the front row, and after hearing the applause, they stood up one by one, faced the audience, and bowed to express their gratitude.

Standing up straight and looking at the audience in front of him, Nolan had a smile on his face.

That's half the battle.

Half of these audiences are alternative self-media.

Their recommendations and movie reviews can be said to be the most powerful publicity.

The word-of-mouth of the movie is very important.

Most of the movies that are not popular are literary films.

In commercial films, movies that are not popular are a minority after all.

Nolan stepped onto the podium in front of the screen and once again thanked the moviegoers who were present.

"Director Nolan, can you let Wang come to the stage, we have a lot to say about him now. A reporter shouted from the audience.

Today, more than two hours ago, although they also asked Wang Zi'an a lot of questions, but compared to Nolan and Bell, it was much less.

At the moment, they want to start all over again.

Bell smiled wryly, when he was filming, he knew that his role was a foil.

At least in acting, he is Wang Zian's foil.

Now, after watching the feature film, Bale knows that the character of Batman has become the Joker's foil.

If it is not the script of the character of Batman, Bale believes that if Wang Zi'an is asked to switch roles with him, Batman will definitely not be the image in the feature film.

Bell has heard that Murong Fu was originally a villain that everyone shouted at, but under Wang Zi'an's interpretation, it made the audience feel distressed and complained about it.

The role of the clown has reached the peak of villainy.

It's more terrifying and can drive the audience mad, love and hate.

"Wang, what would you like to say to everyone?" Nolan smiled and beckoned to Wang Zi'an under the platform.

"King!"

"King!"

There weren't many spectators, but the voices were high.

Wang Zi'an nodded and walked onto the stage.

In the audience, James, like David, who is also a well-known film critic, watched this scene excitedly.

I really didn't come in vain, and I didn't understand what the film wanted to express.

The role of the Joker, Wang Zi'an has been portrayed too successfully, this is an "ordinary person" who has no superpowers, but makes the high-tech Batman almost knocked down, and even almost confused.

James recalls the plot and can't wait to watch it again right away.

In his memory, Batman is very powerful, has dealt with too many crimes, and has many "superpowers" owners, but he has never wavered in his beliefs and has always guarded Gotham City.

And in the mental confrontation with the Joker, Batman is confused, no longer sticks to his own philosophy, and almost destroys his beliefs.

"To them, you're a freak, just like me. They just need you right now. Once they don't want it anymore. They will sweep you away like a leper. Their virtues, creeds...... What a lame joke. The trouble is all thrown away as soon as it comes, and they are only so good when the world allows it. ”

James probably still had some impressions of this passage in his mind.

Batman is strong, the Joker is even tougher, and while he tries to convince Batman, he doesn't forget to despise the police officers who are watching him outside the interrogation room.

There is no doubt that the socially hateful, government-hating, hopeless clown believes that the greatest human being is to find ways to benefit himself.

James's mood has become a little depressed again, isn't this the case with modern people, the clown just said a fact that no one dares to admit, modern people are becoming more and more selfish, mean, cold, and cruel.

Rather than live so despicably, it is better to die all, death is salvation, this madman theory is certainly untenable, the question is: if the clown is crazy, people must be normal?

Thinking of this, James suddenly found that in the crime-ridden action movie "Batman", there was not much bloodstain to be seen, and if it were another director, there would have been corpses all over the field and rivers of blood.

Director Nolan's approach is even more sophisticated.

The appearance of many explosion scenes in the film shows that Nolan does not blindly pursue the visual stimulation of plasma gushing to the audience, he chooses the other extreme, and pays more attention to the shock of the soul than the visual special effects of previous action movies.

It doesn't take too much blood plasma, and it doesn't take mountains of dead corpses to expose the dark ugliness of human nature.

And the most important task: playing the classic villain "Joker", Wang Zi'an also successfully completed it, and it was overfulfilled.

James, who has watched thousands of movies since he was a child, thinks that this movie has the worst villain in film history, the Joker.

But he found that some of the Joker's lines were more useful than any other text had been taught.

His views, once in the world, will inevitably lead to a debate about the good and evil of human nature.

Are people born good or bad?

It's not hard to do a good deed, it's hard to do good every day.

In the same way, it is not difficult to do a bad deed, but it is difficult to do a bad deed every day.

People at these two extremes are the same kind of people who have been tested.

"Why are you so serious?"

From the Joker's tone and expression, it is not difficult to infer that the Joker is very likely to have killed his father, and this most classic line was actually the first to be said by the Joker's father.

From the previous story of the Joker's own narration of the origin of the scar, it is known that the Joker is not an orphan, he has a father and a mother, a complete family, but a rather unfortunate family.

His father was an alcoholic and a pervert, and he abused his mother and him all day long, and it was this family that created the dark and ugly character of the Joker, who spent his gray childhood in extreme fear, leaving an indelible mark on his mouth - the scar on his mouth.

"Now I always see the funny side of things and always smile. ”

At Wayne Tower, the Joker kidnaps the heroine, Rachel, and tells the story of the second scar.

It turns out that the clown also has or has had his own love, a beautiful wife, a wife who always asks him to smile.

It's a pity that his life was shattered by bad luck again, his wife was disfigured because she couldn't pay off her gambling debts, and he ruined his face in order to give his wife psychological balance when he had no money for plastic surgery.

In fact, the clown personality at this time has been distorted, but love has temporarily hidden it for a while.

When he said, "She can't stand the sight of thne," his eyes reflected his disappointment with his wife's fate.

The injustice of life and the breakdown of his family deepened his hatred of the government and society.

Despair is followed by new hope, the Joker has become accustomed to the tricks of fate, and his anarchist outlook on life has finally taken shape.

The phrase 'I'm always smiling all the time' is just a joke about his unfortunate past, where all access to normal life is blocked, and the ugly clown is ugly changed by this ugly world.

As a result, he was just a criminal who "had no desires and no desires, and always laughed".

He always sees the good and interesting side of things, and no longer suffers from gains and losses, because he has long lost everything, and he no longer feels hope and despair.

"Create a little commotion, disrupt the original order, and then everything becomes chaotic, and I am the representative of chaos, do you know the benefits of chaos? ”

If the existing rule order has been biased to one side and cannot achieve fairness and justice, then the rule order will become meaningless, meaningless things do not need to exist, break the original rule order, cause chaos, and achieve real fairness in chaos.

The clown is such a person who believes that chaos is fairness, and creating chaos is actually the pursuit of true equality.

The Joker uses this sophistry to convince Harvey that Dent has shifted his hatred and released the evil in his heart, turning into a two-faced man and embarking on a path of no return.

James is still amazed and has to admire the Joker's debating eloquence, which is unrivaled in the film.

As an agent of chaos, you can turn the city upside down with just some gasoline and bullets, so why not?

"Madness is like gravity, all it takes is a nudge. ”

The Joker's last line once again shows his disappointment and hatred for humanity, which in his opinion is hopeless, and they are just getting crazier and more numerous.

He easily turns the People's Defender (Harvey Dent) into a murderous demon (Two-Face), not knowing whether to show how clever he is, or to prove that the dark and ugly side of human nature is the dominant thinking of human behavior.

In the film, there is no need to brainwash, for the sake of the lives of the family members in the hospital, the police can point their guns at innocent people, which is a strong proof of human selfishness.

The Joker proves this so-called "truth" throughout the film, and his deep-seated anarchism is moving.

Madness is really like gravity, with a gentle push, it will fall forever.

The reason why the clown committed heinous crimes is because he sees people too thoroughly and has no room for manoeuvre, so that he himself falls into the abyss of despair.

The flaws of human nature are always there, and everyone has them.

It's a pity that the clown won't know about it anymore and won't believe it anymore.

However, James is sure of one thing: after the king, there will be no clowns.

In the theater.

"Wang, you are amazing, I want to be crazy about you!" As soon as Wang Zi'an took the stage, a female reporter suddenly shouted.

Suddenly.

"King, to be a man, you should be like you, like a clown. ”

"King, you are my only king!"

"Wang, you will be the best supporting actor at this year's Oscars, if the jury doesn't award you this award, I will be black for the rest of my life. ”

"I think it's the Best Actor Award, Best Actor. I'm sorry, Bell, I didn't mean to belittle you, it's really Wang's performance is so great, I think he's the protagonist of this play. ”

The crowd in the audience was a little crazy.
