Chapter 625: The Dark Knight
In the IMAX theater in Chicago, James? Cameron cupped his chest with one hand and held his chin with the other, and countless thoughts flashed through his mind in an instant. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Duke? Rosenberg, like him, is a typical commercial film director, but the difference is that the other party is a very prolific commercial film director.
The film "The Dark Knight", in James? Cameron's eyes are also full of commercial elements, he has seen all of Duke's films, and he can tell that this film is the same as "The Matrix", which combines business and speculation almost perfectly.
Even if he doesn't pay much attention, he can still see the reflections brought by the film, such as the simplest proposition - good and evil.
Even when evil reaches its peak, there is still a legal system and the moral force of society that naturally restrains and contends with it.
But justice is not.
Justice is consistent with the law, and the law in many cases has no natural incentive to restrain the behavior of justice as the starting point, precisely because justice has the same demand as the law and morality, it has one more layer of confusion than evil, and the vigilance of law and morality against it is far less high than when they face evil, so when the person who holds the ultimate justice loses self-restraint, the destructive power it produces may be more terrible than the extreme evil.
As a super Spider-Man fan, and a director who once wanted to direct Spider-Man, Cameron naturally connected these to superheroes.
This represents a situation for superheroes who have great power in their hands to exert extreme justice, but whether this power is abused or not is only constrained by the superhero's own moral force.
In a perfect society governed by the rule of law, almost all potential destructive forces are bound, balanced, and counteracted by law, so the superhero who was born to uphold social justice has become the most vulnerable link in the system, because there is nothing else to restrain him except himself.
Pulling back her thoughts, Kameh solemnly refocused on the movie.
Batman won the personal battle against the Joker, but lost the battle of souls in Gotham, Harvey? The consequences of Dante's fall were severe. In order to save everything, Batman did not hesitate to resist and kill Harvey? Dante's crimes, which became the object of spurning, also became a real dark knight.
The righteous Batman ends up being a prisoner who escapes with his guilt. The two-faced man who has lost his nature is mourned as a hero, and even the worst clown ends up triumphant.
There has never been a superhero movie that has ended so darkly.
Looking at Batman limping away, Kyle has a heartache that superheroes are really not human jobs!
The Joker's ultimate evil can be unscrupulous, while Batman has to use morality to restrain his ultimate justice. Because he knows that his morality is the only safety bolt that restricts his power, and once he crosses it, he is likely to become no different from the clown, or even more dangerous.
For the sake of Gotham, Batman can be anyone, and he certainly did.
After watching movies for so many years, and being a super fan of Batman himself, seeing Batman's back in the distance, and recalling the plot he just watched, many things made Kyle feel different.
The Joker said to Batman. "You make me whole".
In Kyle's opinion, the sad thing is that the opposite is true, and it is the Joker who perfects Batman's existence.
Because the peak of evil can exist separately from the peak of justice, and the peak of justice is inseparable from the peak of evil, justice never gives a reason for the existence of evil, but the existence of evil fulfills justice.
This sentence should actually be said by Batman to the Joker.
An idea popped into Kyle's mind, maybe this sentence was what Bush wanted to say to bin Laden, right?
"A righteous person who punishes evil within the framework of the law is regarded as a hero, but a righteous person who has the power above the law but restrains himself with morality can only be a knight."
A voice from the side said to himself, "Batman is not destined to be a hero of the bright world. Only when darkness comes, can he appear, sweep away the darkness cautiously and restrainedly, and reluctantly become a knight born of darkness. ”
Kyle nodded. also said, "Unfettered extreme justice is not only not the happiness of superheroes, but their original sin." ”
This "The Dark Knight" brings people to think so deeply! He couldn't help but sigh.
The film is already at the end, Kenneth? Turan has detached himself from the plot and is thinking more from his own point of view.
Although there was all kinds of publicity and hype in the media before, after watching The Dark Knight. Did he really pity Hiss? Ledger's early death, the other party really played the role of the clown.
With Hiss? Ledger's clown compared to Jack? Nicholson's version of "Circus Clowns", not Heath? Ledger's acting skills must surpass Jack's? Nicholson, just Duke? There's a lot more to play with this Rosenberg clown than that one.
In Christian legend, Satan the Devil won the world by capturing human souls, and the Joker used the same logic, who was not interested in money in the slightest, and once burned mountains of money and said that "this city is worthy of a criminal with taste". He also said to Batman, "You should know, I'm not interested in money, I'm not that kind of person, don't reduce me to that kind of person." ”
The Joker is interested in imposing his logic on the world around him.
"A great director sets a brilliant character, and this character sets off the director's work even greater!"
After saying this in my heart, Kenneth? Turan, like everyone around him, stood up and applauded the film, which was a wonderful film that definitely deserved his applause.
In the IMAX theater in Chicago, although a small number of audience members left early, it did not prevent the applause like thunder after the film's subtitles fell, but unlike Duke's previous films, the audience's faces were less excited, more tired and touched.
It's a superhero movie that isn't a superhero movie, but it's by no means a popcorn movie!
After watching "The Dark Knight", most of the viewers have this idea.
Seemingly too exhausted by the heavy theme of the film, the applause did not last long before it gradually died out, and countless people walked to the front row to congratulate Duke and the crew members.
"Duke, the effect of IMAX is amazing."
Is the person standing across from him James? Cameron, who still seems to be recalling the IMAX footage of The Dark Knight, "The visual impact it brought completely exceeded my expectations. ”
Duke shook his hand and suggested, "You could consider using this technique in Avatar." ”
"That's what I think." James? Cameron has clearly made up his mind.
James? As soon as Cameron left, a tall girl walked over, and she took the initiative to reach out her hand, "Congratulations, Duke, although the film is not my favorite genre, it is indeed very shocking. ”
"Thank you." Duke in Taylor? Swift's hand shook slightly.
This is the end of the film screening, and after a brief curtain call, Duke led the entire crew into the press conference, where a large number of reporters were already waiting.
As soon as the Q&A session began, the reporter's question was aimed at Duke.
A reporter from the New York Times was the first to ask, "Director Rosenberg, what prompted you to create Batman so 'humanely'?" ”
"As we all know, in DC's comics, Superman is an idealized representation with all the virtues of humanity; And Batman is much more human, without so many noble sentiments, virtues and idealized shackles, and he is also a person who is difficult to distinguish between good and evil. ”
Duke thought for a moment and then said, "He does things very humanly and sometimes a little politically, which is why I like Batman more than Superman." Where Batman appears, there is no good or evil, no right and wrong, no black and white. I would like to consider something from this scenario - that in reality, no one can transgress the law, not even the 'vigilantes'. ”
As the leading actor of the film, Christian? Bell was also the focus of the interview.
A reporter from the Washington Post asked, "Mr. Bell, as an actor, do you really think you're going to find anything in flashy special effects and a deafening explosion?" Or twice in a row? ”
Bell didn't seem to hear the hidden provocation, but said, "The main reason is that I love the experience of working with Duke, and Duke completely understands that you can't make a movie with special effects and explosions alone." It's really story-based, and then there's a lot of spectacular hiccups along the way, you know what I mean? Even if you have all the conditions I mentioned above, the key to whether it can be made into a movie is still in the director. ”
"What makes you confident?"
Earlier the journalists hit a soft nail with Duke, and their target shifted to Christian? "Will there really be a third Batman movie?" ”
"Time to War was the beginning, we created it together, and although the outcome wasn't out of my control, I was part of the process. When I began to understand the story told in The Dark Knight, I especially wanted Batman to end at least as a trilogy. ”
Speaking of which, Christian? Bell looked at Duke, "The question now is, if there really is a third episode, or Duke?" Does Rosenberg be a director? Because for me, I can't imagine what the Batman movie would be like without Duke! ”
The premiere of "The Dark Knight" is over, although it has caused a strong response from the premiere audience, but whether it can really succeed depends on whether the market will accept it. (To be continued.) )
