Chapter 523: Guiding Bell

This trilogy will inevitably weaken Batman's abilities, which may cause some people to dislike it, but compared to its four "predecessors", Batman has stepped down from the altar and become a flesh-and-blood person, which can make up for the biggest shortcoming of many DC superheroes - too tall and complete.

The era of Superman and Batman has ended, and if the current film wants to be successful, it must close the distance with the audience.

From this point of view, DC's relatively cold superhero is not wronged at all when he loses to Marvel's more down-to-earth superhero.

In Duke's setting, Batman does not have superpowers like other superheroes.

Compared to the others, he is more like an ordinary person, an ordinary person who has learned ninjutsu and has high technology. This looks more realistic and gives the feeling that superheroes are close by. As for the criminals, the ninja masters, rely on ninjutsu and technology, the scarecrow relies on medicine, and the clown and Bane rely on naked threats and force, which can also make people have the illusion of "will these criminals appear in my life".

And then there's a sense of "can I be Batman?"

Maybe for other movies, the sense of substitution doesn't matter, but for superhero movies, it's very important.

Not only are the characters realistic and realistic, but so is the city of Gotham, where darkness, murder, and crime envelop Gotham City. Such a city with such a superhero is just right to peel off the crime red. Showing it naked to the audience, it makes people feel that this is not science fiction or fantasy, but the reality in front of them.

Compared to action scenes, Christian? Bell's performance was really not good, it took nearly ten times for this not complicated scene to be filmed, and Duke could see it. What about Bruce? Wayne has some problems with his psychological grasp and obviously doesn't pay enough attention to this superhero character.

Doesn't that mean Christian? Bale is not dedicated enough, his work attitude is actually very serious, the problem is that he just thinks of Batman as the popular superhero of today, but the style of the film is already doomed, and he plays Bruce in the same way as other superheroes? Wayne certainly won't work.

The crew returned to the station in the car. Duke was going to find time to talk to Bell.

But the next morning when he got up for a jog, Christian? Bell approached him in order to exchange roles.

The two walked out of the hotel station, stood on a tall rock, and looked out at the white glacier in the distance, Bell said softly, "I read the script again last night, and I lay down and thought about it for a long time, this role is more difficult than I thought." To be complicated. ”

"Don't think of it as a superhero movie." Dukla tightened his collar to cover his ears exposed to the cold wind, "If you think of it as a psychological crime genre, you will find something different." ”

Christian? Bell nodded slightly.

The actor took the initiative to come over, and Duke would give him enough guidance, and said, "What do you think is the theme of the film?" ”

Bell thought for a moment and said. "Fear, anger, determination, and strength."

"That's right." Duke's eyes moved to where the sun was about to rise, "Bruce now?" Wayne was more angry and afraid. ”

"What do you think about fear?" He asked.

"By physiological definition. Fear is an emotional experience in which an organism tries to escape from a situation but is unable to do anything about it; It can also manifest a violent contraction of the physiological tissues of the organism; The density of the tissue increases dramatically, and the energy is released dramatically. ”

Hearing Bell, a non-academic actor, say an academic point of view, Duke couldn't help but smile and said, "I think fear is a very paradoxical phenomenon - the more scared, the more afraid. On the contrary, it can gain greater resistance and even counter-force. ”

Christian? Bell looked curious, and Duke continued, "Actually, to be honest, I've always disagreed that opposite, incompatible things can exist at the same time, but it's a strange phenomenon. The only thing that can be explained is. Fear itself restrains anger, but when anger is aroused, 'fear inspires power' happens. ”

"This is Bruce? The other side of Wayne's fear - anger! Actually, I think it's fear that brings anger, and anger that inspires strength. ”

Duke brings the conversation back to the character itself, "Bruce? Wayne's initial fear of bats was only because of the image of bats, and at this stage, Bruce did not feel the power caused by fear. However, the subsequent killing of his parents adds anger to Bruce's fears, and Bruce gains his own great strength through study and exercise. ”

Unlike his father, he lost his chance for revenge and began to have the courage to challenge the gangsters of Gotham City. This is also the beginning of his subsequent departure from Gotham City until his return. It wasn't until he finally learned to control his fear, that he became the fear itself, and he ...... Became Batman. ”

"Christian ......," Duke patted his arm, "what do you need to do is to highlight the blues in the right scene, in the right way of acting?" Wayne's fear, anger, and determination! ”

"I'll do my best." Christian? Bell said.

As the sun climbed above the horizon and yesterday's gloom was replaced by today's sunshine, Duke descended the stone pile and beckoned to Bell, "Let's go to the restaurant and talk while we eat." ”

The two entered the hotel's restaurant, grabbed a few simple foods, sat down at the same table, and slowly ate breakfast while exchanging views on the characters.

Of course, as a director, most of the time, it's Duke who says, Christian? Bell was listening.

"The film is divided into three parts, and "Time to War" is mainly about the source of Batman." Duke only ate a small bit, then pushed the breakfast plate aside, "This is Bruce actually?" Wayne's process of generating fear, overcoming it, and becoming Batman. ”

"His status is very special - his family's Wayne Group is a wealthy and respected family in Gotham City." Christian? Bell thought back to Bruce? Wayne's setting, while taking Duke's words, said, "According to common sense, Bruce should be a young master in the traditional sense, living his own high-society flashy life, which is what Rachel expects - a sense of justice, but not interfering in the fight against crime." ”

He thought for a moment, and then said, "He was frightened by bats since he was a child, and his parents were killed by fear, and he watched the city that his father had devoted all his life to defend go down, and fear and anger took over his heart. ”

"So, Bruce? Wayne's growth can be broken down into three stages. ”

It is Duke's job as a director to guide the actors to better understand the characters so that they can perform at their best and make the film better, and he holds up a finger, "The first stage was before his parents died, and he was terrified by the horror of bats. At this stage, his father had a great influence on him, and many of his father's teachings to him had a great influence on his future actions. ”

At this point, Duke raised a second finger, "The second stage is after the death of both his parents, and he has been using anger to suppress his fear. Remorse for the fear of causing the death of your parents, resentment for your enemies. But obviously, this stage is like what the ninja master said'It will ruin your life', for example, look at Bruce's father-killing enemy Zili, he is a poor man at the bottom, afraid of the gangster, but he can only dare to be angry, and finally anger can't control the fear of livelihood, resulting in the tragedy of killing Bruce's parents. ”

He raised his last finger, "So in the third stage, when the enemy was killed by the gangster Fecony and could not be avenged, after Rachel's reminder, Bruce began to realize that blind anger would only make him unable to find a catharsis to destroy him after revenge, so he began to declare war on Ficony and them, and went deep into the world of criminals to understand them." ”

Hear what Duke said, Christian? Bell gradually came to understand more, and he said, "As the ninja master said, what Bruce has been looking for is not the fear of criminals, but his own fear. What he had always feared was the power within him, the power he couldn't control by relying on anger. So, he embarks on the path of becoming Fear itself, becoming Batman, fighting and punishing criminals. ”

"That's understandable," Duke asked, nodding his head and continuing the conversation further, "Bruce overcame his fears to become Batman and maintain the peace of Gotham City." So, what exactly is he afraid of? ”

"On the surface, Bruce should be afraid of bats. When he was a child, he fell into the bat cave and was frightened by the bat swarm, and it was precisely because of the association with the bat swarm that Bruce indirectly killed his parents, which also became a lingering shadow in his heart. ”

With that said, Christian? Bell noticed that Duke was still looking at him, as if waiting for the next answer, and he organized the language as he thought about it in conjunction with the script, and was silent for a few moments before saying, "I think what Bruce is really afraid of is the power in him. ”

"There's a conversation between my father and him in the script -- the more scary creatures, the more scared they are. Bruce fears bats, bats actually fear Bruce, and at the end of the day, Bruce fears the power that bursts out when he is afraid. ”

Seeing Duke's affirmative look, Christian? Bell said again, "With Henry? When Ducater talks about the death of his parents because of fear, Bruce is actually using anger to suppress power. Then, with Ducard's help, Bruce finds a primitive, safe, symbolic way to use this power correctly, to channel this power, to become fear itself to manipulate the power, to transfer the power, to transfer the fear, so that the power of fear can be used against the person it really needs to deal with. This is to become Batman. ”

Duke stood up with a smile and walked past Christian? When Bale was beside him, he gently patted him on the shoulder, "I'm looking forward to your next performance." (To be continued......)
