It was early in July morning, even though it wasn't yet five o'clock.

Owen and his roommates have lined up in front of the AMC theater to grab tickets to a 6 a.m. show of Batman: The Dark Knight.

In the long line, almost all of them are Batman fanatical fans, and there are many cosplay enthusiasts, wearing Batman's suits, swaying left and right in the crowd. There is also a clown cosplay, and his mouth is painted with red lipstick, which looks very disgusting.

From time to time, someone loudly discusses the upcoming movie "The Dark Knight".

As early as the Fandango website opened online ticket purchase, a survey was conducted, which showed that more than 42% of netizens were willing to sacrifice a day of vacation to welcome the arrival of "The Dark Knight" in advance.

Today's scene proves that this investigation does not have much moisture.

Today, Zhang Tan, one of Hollywood's top directors, is back with "Batman: The Dark Knight" as a king, and there is no doubt that everyone is in the limelight.

Owen arrived early, so he grabbed two movie tickets before the tickets for the 6 o'clock show were sold out. Then get ready with your roommates to rush into the theater and grab a good seat. In the United States, tickets are not sold by seat, which is more casual, first-come, first-served, but those who arrive first need to watch dozens of minutes of advertising.

Even if it was an advertisement, Owen put up with it, just to see Batman.

Because the IMAX show was sold out at the box office within a week, Owen and his roommate entered the regular 3D show. Chatting, dozing off, eating popcorn and drinking soda, it was soon six o'clock.

The movie starts playing.

The logos of Warner Bros. and Luying ended, and the movie camera came to the streets of the city.

A man with his back to the camera, carrying a clown mask, has almost no idea of slowly unfolding the story, and the robbers in the clown mask appear one by one, robbing banks while killing each other. In the end, it was the mastermind behind the scenes, the real clown, who left with a cart of money.

In less than seven minutes, the villain Clown showed his crazy side to the fullest.

Subsequently, Harvey Dent showed the brilliance of justice and was chosen by Batman as the Knight of Light, the light of hope for the city; The clown nudges the gang to his advantage and promotes his evil ideas; Police Chief Gordon cheats to death, and the Joker gives the citizens the choice of whether or not to let Batman turn himself in on the condition that he stop the killing.

The townspeople choose to sacrifice Batman.

Batman decided to turn himself in, and Harvey Dent stood up and took the blame, saying that he was Batman and saved Batman.

The Joker is eventually caught by Gordon, but everything is his design; The Joker's men captured Batman's ex-girlfriend and Harvey Dent respectively, forcing Batman to save who first; Batman went to save someone, but got the wrong address, his ex-girlfriend was blown up, and Harvey Dent was burned half of his face, becoming a two-faced man.

Dante was destroyed by the clown and began to take revenge by any means, and the former Knight of Light fell and blackened.

At the same time the Joker threatens the whole city, either to become his man or to leave. Plant bombs on the last two ships to leave, and give the remote control to the people on board to choose whether to blow up others or themselves.

The brilliance of humanity made the people of both ships not press the remote control, and the clown decided to come by himself.

Batman defeats the Joker and everyone is saved. The rest is the blackened Dante, who killed a lot of cops, believing that the police killed his ex-girlfriend internally, and Batman rushed to save Gordon again.

Dante fell downstairs, Batman didn't want the city's light of hope to be ruined by the Joker, he turned half of Dante's burned face away, let the normal face up, and resolutely carried the murderous pot on his back.

In the darkness of the night, Batman fled into the distance.

"Why did he run away?" Gordon's son asked, puzzled.

Gordon said with difficulty: "Because we're going after him." ”

Hans Zimmer's soundtrack plays just right, and a group of untruthful cops chase Batman.

Gordon put his arms around his son and sighed with emotion: "Because he is the hero that Gotham should have, but not the hero that is needed now, we will arrest him." Because he can bear it, because he is not our hero, he is the silent guardian, the vigilant protector. ”

Batman rides a transformed batbike and moves from the darkness to the light.

"He's the Dark Knight!"

As Gordon finished his last sentence, the soundtrack came to an abrupt end.

The big screen was pitch black.

Subtitles slowly emerge.

"The-Dark-Knight."

"Directed-By."

“Tan-Zhang。”

……

The subtitles keep rising.

In the cinema hall of the movie theater, Owen took off his 3D glasses, and his heart fluctuated for a long time. Two years ago, he was handsome by Batman after watching "Batman: Time to War", not only took out his pocket money, bought tickets and went to the cinema to swipe it four times, but also collected Blu-ray DVDs.

feels that Zhang Tan's version of Batman has reached the top height of superheroes, so he has huge expectations for the sequel.

However, no matter how much I look forward to it, it can't compare to the shock I get after watching "The Dark Knight" now.

"Tom! It's so cool, it's great, do you see it, TDK is so great, how can there be such a great movie, Christian is handsome, the clown is simply crazy, no, more terrible than crazy! Owen suddenly grabbed his roommate's shoulder and shook it vigorously.

Tom wasn't as excited as Owen, but his heart was pounding: "Indeed, it's amazing, TDK is better than "Time to Go to War", definitely the most wonderful superhero movie I've ever seen." ”

"I can't go back to class, I'm going to watch it again! Tom, together! ”

Faced with Owen's proposal, Tom was very moved, but finally refused: "No, I look a little dizzy when I watch 3D, I'll go back and rest first, and watch it again another day." ”

"You're right, I'm also a little dizzy from 3D, but I'll choose an ordinary theater for the next show, and movie tickets are cheaper, so I don't have enough pocket money this week."

There are a lot of viewers like Owen who choose to watch it again, after all, those who are willing to stay awake in the middle of the night or get up early to watch a movie are all iron fans. In the face of such a high-level, high-quality, and high-quality movie, how can iron fans endure watching it only once, and the second, third, and fourth brushes quickly became a hot conversation on FaceBook and Twitter.
