The two works of "Batman Forever" and "Batman and Robin" in the 1990s turned the comic hero Batman, who was originally popular in the United States, into a laughing stock. For nearly 10 years, we have never had the opportunity to see Batman flying in the night sky from the cinema again, until the new director Nolan, who has surprised four people with "Memory Fragment", takes over the mess. In 2005, "The Mystery of the Shadows" was released, and Batman returned to the big screen.
In the opening of "The Mystery of the Shadow", a large group of bats swept across the sky in black, forming a huge bat pattern, symbolizing the official departure of the new version of Batman. The theme of "The Mystery of Chivalrous Shadow" is "Fear". From the beginning of the film, the childhood Bruce Wayne fell to the bottom of the well and was attacked by a group of bats. Fear, this human instinct was inspired and penetrated. The whole video. In the first episode, Gotham City is a dark city that breeds criminals and hides dirt. Gangs are rampant, police are corrupt, police and bandits collude, and the people don’t have a living. Wayne witnessed the brutal murder of his parents by the gangsters, and since then, an indelible shadow has been cast in his heart. Wayne hated his powerlessness. He wanted to become stronger, so he traveled around the world and practiced everywhere. He met the Shadow Warrior Alliance and Ras Agu. "If you can go beyond the limits of yourself and devote yourself to a lofty ideal, they will not be able to stop you, and you will become another kind of person, a legend." This is Ras Agu said to Wayne in prison. if. How to surpass yourself? Then you must defeat yourself. How to overcome self? Then we must overcome our own instinct-fear. Wayne, who had gone through the baptism, returned to Gotham City, to the bottom of the well that once frightened him. "Bruce, why did we fall? So that we can learn to stand up." This was the sentence Wayne remembered most clearly from his father. When he stood up from a group of screaming flying and hovering bats, he defeated his fear, and a legend was about to be born.
The description of fear in "The Mystery of Chivalrous Shadow" is also reflected from the side of the villain Scarecrow, who uses psychedelic gas to stimulate people's inner fear, thereby controlling or destroying them. In Naihe Island, this poisonous gas is spreading and will spread to the entire city. In fact, people's fear is spreading. Once you have faith, fear will no longer be so terrible, as the little boy protected by Rachel said, "I know he will come." The ultimate villain of this film is Batman’s teacher Ras Agu, Batman’s fighting. All the skills were taught by him, but Ras Agu didn't know how firm belief and unshakable conscience Wayne had at the beginning. This can be learned from Wayne's resolute refusal to behead the unnecessarily criminal man. Defeating Las Agu and protecting Gotham City, Bruce Wayne finally found his meaning in survival, no longer just to avenge his parents, but to become the guardian of the city. At the end of the film, Batman talks with Sheriff Gordon on the roof. People have regained hope. Gotham City is showing signs of recovery, but crime has not been eradicated, and justice and evil will continue to fight. A playing card instantly ignited the fans' eager anticipation for the next episode-who is the Joker? Why should he pretend to be a clown? What did he do? How will the duel between him and Batman be? As Batman unfolded his cloak and soared in the night sky of Gotham City, "The Mystery of the Shadow" successfully made a big start for the trilogy. And director Nolan's novel idea, which was only shown after the feature film was over, has also been well received by everyone.
In 2008, "The Dark Knight" was released. Even though the previous work was unanimously affirmed by the media, audiences and film critics, no one would have thought that this episode would be such a huge success.
The blue flames in the opening of the movie are burning and rising, gradually forming the shape of a bat, as if to show that Batman will undergo a severe test. The theme of "The Dark Knight" is "Chaos"-chaos, all of which is caused by one person-the clown. The beginning of the film was a tight-paced bank robbery, which led to the appearance of the clown. The clown played by Heath Ledger may be the most wonderful villain in the history of film. His selfless performance is so fascinating that the classic image that cannot be surpassed makes people have to stand up and pay tribute. The sudden death of Heath Ledger People all sighed. The purpose of Batman's existence is to protect the city. What is the meaning of the existence of the Joker? He doesn't care about money, he can burn a hill of dollars on fire. He just wants to have an interesting opponent who can let him use his wisdom to play with and defeat this opponent. As a result, he began to create a series of chaos, let people fall into panic again, and began to doubt Batman. Why are so many people dead? Why did so many things happen? What the Joker wants is Batman, but Batman refuses to come forward?
Harvey Dante, the new prosecutor, works with Sheriff Gordon and Batman to eradicate evil. He was in the bright place and brought people light and hope, and became the "Knight of Light" in Gotham City. Batman was in the dark place, unwilling to show up but silently guarded here, and became the "Dark Knight" of Gotham City. They teamed up to catch the clown alive. They thought they had won, but they were wrong. Being arrested and imprisoned is only part of the clown's conspiracy. The whole city of Gotham is a playground for clowns. A small police station is just an inconspicuous recreation room. Rachel is dead, she is Wayne's childhood sweetheart, she is Dante's girlfriend. The death of a woman can cause great harm to two men at the same time, and these two men are the two most important people in Gotham City. Faced with the severe damage, the two people made completely different choices. The Joker has already grasped the lifeblood of the city and played everyone in the palm of his hand. He played a game with Batman, two boats, one was full of ordinary citizens, and the other was detained. For the long-term vicious criminals, whoever blows up the other ship before midnight can survive on which ship. The clown thought he had insight into the ugliness of human nature, and that human survival instinct would make them kill each other, but he had forgotten another human instinct-conscience. When the man shouting to press the bomb button trembled and hesitated for a long time, he finally returned to his seat. When the criminal with a fierce face grabbed the remote control from the police and threw it into the sea, the bottom line of the conscience of the citizens of Gotham Withstood the test.
However, Batman did not win. The death of the beloved one caused a great shock to both of them. The "Dark Knight" chose to continue fighting, but the "Light Knight" collapsed and became a "double-faced man" blinded by hatred. Harvey Dante believed that Rachel's death was the fault of the police, and began his "revenge" in his heart. Batman killed Dante. Dante is the hero of this city. If everyone knows his true face, the belief that people have just established will collapse again. The "Dark Knight" chooses to bear the guilt committed by Dante, just to prevent people from despairing again. Batman made a huge sacrifice. He will become the demon spurned by the city. The police will hunt him down and people will curse him. However, he can bear it. "Gotham City needs who I am, who I am." This sentence echoed in my ears for a long time, a true hero, the hero Gotham City deserves, not the hero I need now. In the roar of police dogs, Batman disappeared into the night on a motorcycle, leaving behind the most shocking superhero movie ending in history for fans, enough to be included in the annals of movie history. Director Nolan took the superhero movie to a new and unattainable height with this film. The superhero movie is no longer just a commercial popcorn movie, it also has profound connotations and enlightening significance. As the first Batman movie without Batman in the title, "The Dark Knight" is absolutely perfect.
With the eager expectations of hundreds of millions of movie fans, we finally ushered in the final chapter of the Batman trilogy in 2012-"The Dark Knight Rises".
The theme of "The Dark Knight Rises" is "Pain"-pain. In the beginning of the movie, the dark ice layer slowly cracked, vaguely forming the appearance of a bat, and the color tone was almost completely dark, indicating that Batman will encounter an unprecedented crisis. Yes, Batman’s strongest opponent, Baine, stunned the audience with a thrilling hijacking at the beginning. Batman has disappeared for eight years, Bruce Wayne is no longer in people's sight, and the superheroes of the past have even been on crutches. Wayne is suffering a lot, the pain of aging his body, the pain of the death of his beloved Rachel, the pain of being misunderstood and cursed as Batman. The sexy and enchanting cat goddess steals Selena Kyle and the director Miranda Tate who wants to start the Wayne Group's new energy plan. At this time, the two women entered Bruce Wayne's life. Catwoman stole Wayne's fingerprints and Sheriff Gordon was seriously injured. In order to stop Baine's terrifying conspiracy, Batman decided to come back! When the Dark Knight finally appeared in the night of Gotham City again, only loyal fans who had watched the first two films could realize how difficult and important his return was. But when Batman discovered that because of his appearance, the police all over the city threw down the robbers and aimed them at him regardless of how painful and helpless he was. He is the public enemy of the whole city. He is the executioner who killed the city hero Harvey Dante. People don't understand the truth, and Batman voluntarily bears the guilt that does not belong to him. However, Wayne’s commercial rivals teamed up with Bain’s design to frame it, causing Wayne to go bankrupt and turn from a multi-millionaire to a pauper. Miranda gave Wayne gentle care when he was most vulnerable. It may be time for Wayne to break free from the shadow of losing Rachel and face his new love. But he still has his wish. He must defeat Bain and protect his city, even if it brings him pain that he can't erase anyway.
Obviously Batman underestimated Bain's strength, he fell into the trap designed by Bain, was maimed by Bain, and his spine was broken. Wayne was sent to an ancient prison far away to accept Bain's harshest punishment. What is the harshest punishment? Let Wayne watch the city he guarded is destroyed. The city without Batman became a chaotic place where Bain and mercenaries raged. Bain knew how terrible the class contradiction caused by the gap between the rich and the poor, inciting the poor and criminals to revolt, looting the rich, and overthrowing them. government. Under the deterrence of nuclear weapons and the bewilderment of so-called freedom, Gotham City became out of control. Thousands of police officers were trapped underground, and the bridge leading to the outside world was blown up. Only a few police officers such as Sheriff Gordon and young detective John Black are still trying to save Gotham City. And Bruce Wayne is experiencing the greatest pain in life at this moment, whether it is body or soul. Hope is sometimes more terrifying than despair. Wayne tried to climb out of the prison time and time again, but failed and fell again and again. "Bruce, why did we fall? So that we can learn to stand up." Father's words sounded again. In desperation, Wayne abandoned distracting thoughts, used fear as his power, rose from the darkness, and finally climbed out of the prison.
Batman returns to Gotham City with the help of Catwoman, and the decisive battle in Gotham City is imminent. The rescued policeman and Bain’s mercenaries quietly confronted each other on the snowy street. When the Bat fighter suddenly appeared and destroyed the opponent’s tank, all the police broke out with excited roars and rushed to the opposite mercenary with live ammunition. Street fighting with thousands of people. At that moment, Batman was finally recognized by this city. It was the moment when people who knew the truth made up their minds to fight alongside the real heroes of this city. When the blazing bat flame ignited in the night sky, the citizens of Gotham finally understood what they should believe in. Baine was defeated, and the gentle Miranda finally revealed herself. She is Ras Agu’s daughter Thalia, who came to fulfill Ras Agu’s last wish. The nuclear bomb is about to explode, and time is running out. Batman insists on driving the warplane to take the nuclear bomb away from Gotham City. Catwoman kisses the soft hearts of the audience with affectionate kisses. Catwoman once said, "You don't owe these people anything, you have given them everything." Batman's answer is: "It's not everything, there is still unfinished business." At that time, he had made up his mind and would be desperate. Protect the city. A nuclear bomb exploded and a mushroom cloud rose. Sheriff Gordon read the tear-jerking last words of Bruce Wayne, and Gotham City cast a bronze statue of Batman as a permanent memorial. John Black stepped into the Batcave, "I like your real name, Robin." Nolan once again gave Batman fans a surprise. Robin was originally Batman’s most loyal and capable assistant in the original comics. At the end of the film, he will take over Batman and become the new guardian of Gotham City.
Many people are arguing whether the ending of "The Dark Knight Rises" is perfect. It is different from Nolan's open style in the past to give people a space for imagination. This time Alfred smiled and witnessed Bruce Wayne and Bruce Wayne who survived in Florence. The happy life of Selena Kyle. Many people say that if Batman really died heroically, or at the end just give a shot of Alfred nodding and smiling, the film will be better. In fact, Director Nolan just hopes to give everyone a clear and good ending, so that everyone can be completely at ease. This is the end of the trilogy, which is not a complete success.
Finally, I want to talk about the soundtrack that Hans Zimmer created for the Batman series, which is magnificent and empathetic. The soundtrack in "The Mystery of the Shadows" is commendable. In "The Dark Knight", the combination of the soundtrack and the plot is shocking. In "The Dark Knight Rises", the soundtrack has become a godlike existence, and it is the whole film. Too much color enhancement.
The Batman trilogy has come to a successful conclusion, but we can have a lot of time to revisit the most exciting, most shocking and most successful trilogy series in film history.
