Chapter 610: Another Ending
readx;???β Haven't you read the script for The Dark Knight? β
Hear Tina? Johnson shook his head and said, "I've been busy preparing 'Captain America' lately, and I haven't watched it yet." Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info"
"I just watched it the other day," Tina? Faye's eyes turned to Duke again, "It's very touching, this should be Duke's most in-depth script since "Saving Private Ryan". β
Without waiting for Scarlett to say anything, she went on to explain, "Unlike the superhero movies of the past, even 'Batman: Time to War', this is more like a reality-based cop movie. β
Scarlett looked curious.
Tina? Faye continued, "So, if the real world really has a guy like Bruce? Wayne, like superheroes with abilities beyond the average person, what power can restrain them? β
"Themselves?" Scarlett asked tentatively.
"That's right." Tina? Fei nodded, "In other words, the only thing that can restrain them is their own moral code. It is actually very dangerous for a person to be disciplined by morality and then act according to his own rules. β
Scarlett immediately understood, "If he breaks the guidelines he has set, the harm he may bring is even greater than the crime he fights?" β
"That's it." Tina? Faye clasped her hands to her chest and looked at Nicholas with makeup on the other side? Cage, "Harvey? Dent becomes a two-faced man, and the consequences are extremely serious. β
Scarlett also looked over there, but the muttering in her mouth became irrelevant, "When did Duke become interested in such a complex movie?" β
In her impression, Duke's films, including the Lord of the Rings trilogy, have always been relatively simple, and the only film she wants to explore the problem, "100,000 Urgent", has only touched on some in-depth things, leading to critics critics criticizing it as "a film that celebrates the Los Angeles police".
There is no doubt that "The Dark Knight" has deep practical significance, and has been interpreted by fans with countless meanings. Even each line has a different understanding, but Duke doesn't remember that many details, but the lines are designed to touch on chaos, law, and moral principles.
Clever director. will not be easily defined, it will only be left to the audience to judge, compared with previous superhero movies, the theme and plot of "The Dark Knight" are undoubtedly much more complex, but he will not be too complicated. The reason is simple, 90% of the people in this world would not think that a movie that they can't understand will be a good movie.
Like he reminded Zach on Watchmen? Like Schneider, The Dark Knight is first a commercial blockbuster before anything else.
The film will be dark, but it will not be completely dark, and a completely dark film will not be acceptable to the audience and will also attract crazy criticism from the mainstream media.
Once Christopher? Nolan is independent enough, but he still has to compromise in this regard, the most typical of which is the play between the two boats and the members of the boat. In the style of the whole film, it seems that the ship should explode.
However, the ship did not blow up in the end, and there is no doubt that the audience is brought here......
Just imagine, if the ship really exploded, what would the media, whose mission is to maintain social morality, think of this movie?
This is not a literary film that only spreads in a narrow area, but a Batman movie with countless fans.
Also, get a black man to throw away the remote......
To put it bluntly, Christopher? Nolan is still essentially a mainstream director. Of course, Duke would make the same choice, and the first person to throw away the remote control must and must be a black man.
Not only these, but also scenes related to children.
In a dark studio, Nicholas? Harvey, played by Cage? Dante tossed a coin for the last time before his death. Positive "trial" of Gordon's son.
Just as Cage tosses the coin into the air and waits for the result, Batman, dressed as a stunt double, rushes over and knocks Cage down, and the two men roll to the edge of the building that was set up as the scene of the explosion and fall.
Of course, both of them landed on the mat below.
After Duke shouted pass, the crew switched again. To shoot the ensuing scene, the stuntman held Gordon's son in his left hand, grabbed the plank in his right hand and hung it in the air, and with all his strength he handed the child to Gordon above, and then fell to the green mat below.
The film's ending scene was filmed in just half an afternoon, but Duke didn't announce the end of the scene, but filmed another ending.
This ending was a bit too sensitive, and Duke didn't think about whether or not to release it in a future DVD version.
The ending is definitely going to change, and it's just as dark, Harvey? Dent shoots Batman, leaving him powerless to fight back, and then completes the trial of Gordon's son, only the coin shows its polished side......
Then, he put Gordon on trial, and Gordon passed the trial as well, and the two-faced man left, only to speak again at the end, and he would not easily let go of these killers who indirectly killed Rachel.
Yes, in this ending, Two-Face survived and won the battle for souls in Gotham City once and for all.
However, after the filming was completed, Duke temporarily sealed this part of the scene, and such an ending may not be pleasing 99% of the time.
Actually, in the ending to be used, Harvey? Dent also completed the trial of Gordon's son, and Duke specifically asked John? Schwartzman gives a close-up of Batman's hand, and the coin he holds in his hand is smooth face up.
In the film, this is more in line with the audience's expectations than the other ending filmed by Duke, and it is also more worth thinking for those who like to think, because Batman does not dare to bet on the outcome of this coin because he thinks that the coin toss is completely unreasonable.
If there is a truth in the fact that a coin toss determines life and death, then an innocent child really deserves to be positive, so it seems that Batman saving the child is "an extra move", and this "extra move" behavior kills Dante, who "will not kill the child because of the positive".
Of course, these are assumptions, and Duke didn't shoot relevant shots, just thinking about himself, if Batman doesn't knock Dante down this time, the child will still be safe, but who would dare to bet that it must be positive?
Maybe this positive can also illustrate, Harvey? Dante "shouldn't have been" killed during this coin toss, because he wouldn't have killed the child if it was heads.
And the next "trial" of Gordon, it is not difficult to predict from the development of the plot, Gordon must be the backside, so if Batman intervenes to save Gordon during the thirteenth coin toss, it is obviously more necessary.
But is it Duke, or Christopher? Nolan was not filmed and produced like this, mainly because it is impossible for such a standard Americanist movie as Batman not to save children.
And Gordon was also judged by the coin, which destroys the movie's thinking about Gordon for those viewers who like to think, because Gordon is a pragmatic representative of Gotham, he knows that there is no perfection, people cannot be pure, good and evil sometimes cannot be clearly distinguished, and he is willing to use evil means to solve evil, as long as it can solve the problem.
So, being pragmatic or accepting reality, whether it's good or bad, Duke, the director, can't decide, and it's more interesting for the audience to think about it than to decide it by coins, isn't it?
Filming in the Los Angeles area was mostly going back and forth between Warner Studios and Hughes Aircraft Factory, and those larger scenes, like the ending scene and the final personal showdown between Joker and Batman, were all set in the Hughes Aircraft Factory hangar.
The operation of the crew is relatively smooth, even Nicholas, who is in a state of ups and downs? Cage, when he encountered a low point, it only took a few days to regain his normal state.
As the time approached Christmas, Duke went to London to see the filming of "Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix". Grande and Joanna? Rowling's original author is staring over there, which is also reassuring.
After passing Alfonso? After CuarΓ³n's transition, Harry Potter Studios finally adopted Joanna? Rowling's opinion, choosing David? Yates, the British director, is at the helm of Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix.
Now at the end of 2006, those children at the beginning have gradually grown up, and a considerable number of them are similar to Hollywood child stars, and have begun to embark on the road of permanent disability.
Even if there are a few who are not disabled, there is basically no improvement in acting skills, such as Emma? Watson is also moving towards worse acting.
However, the impact of their acting skills is not particularly great, because in the hearts of the audience, Emma? No matter how Watson acts, she's Hermione? Granger.
The same is true for the other main actors.
As a result, the parents and agents of these little stars opened their mouths to the crew again and again. Grande has to put a lot of energy into settling the salary of the young actors.
From the perspective of young actors, this is a natural reward that should be earned, but from the perspective of investors like Duke, this is undoubtedly sharing their cake.
Good thing Robin? Grande firmly remembered Duke's original advice, although the salary of Gryffindor's Golden Triangle has risen to the level of tens of millions of dollars, the crew has never relaxed in terms of sharing.
However, such a situation is unlikely to last long, for example, the agents of the young actors have been united, and they plan to wait for the end of the series to ask for a huge share of the share.
As the finale, "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows" will be produced and released in the form of episodes above and below, but it will be filmed all at once.
There is no doubt that as the end of the series, it will inevitably detonate the enthusiasm of fans, and the agents also know how to get the most out of it.
But Duke was also prepared.
Returning to Los Angeles from London, Duke got one, and the crew found a hospital in Vermont that was ready to be demolished and could be used for on-location filming. (To be continued.) )
