Heath Ledger's performance is of course the biggest highlight of the film. When he slapped his mouth to the ear and asked, "Why are you so serious?" I thought it was funny, but his next sentence immediately turned into a guttural voice of anger, and his eyes were as fierce as a knife. The whole screening The hall hummed straight with his bass. I couldn't help but shiver, got goose bumps, and rushed to my brows with lingering fear.
The classic game theory's "prisoner's dilemma" is also handled well. The reason for the most unlikely result is more interesting. One is that although the two ships have no voice communication, because it is a dynamic decision-making process, the outcome of the other party's decision-making It is fed back in real time, so during the decision-making process, you can still change the expected speculation based on the auxiliary information; second, the risk of game design is relatively large, which has long exceeded the general cost-benefit range. On the moral balance, "ethics" and "Fate" is the eternal proposition of literature and art, and there has never been a standard answer.
In my opinion, the clown told his own life experience twice, and how the scars on his face were obtained is not necessarily the real situation. Every version of him is different, and the details cannot be considered; but the only constant theme is that he was injured by ugly human nature, and thus embarked on the path of no return to hating human beings. Coupled with his ability to play psychology and tactics as omnipotent and omniscient as a god, the clown is exactly the same as the demon Jigsaw in the movie "Saw Cry". However, it is also a genre film. Although the role of the clown is much plump and brighter than the villains in other comics, it seems to be less flavorful than the distortion of Jigsaw. Jigsaw, shown in the "Chain Saw" series, also lost faith in life due to the ugly side of human nature, and turned from a genius scientist to a bloodthirsty demon. But compared to the clown’s pure motive for revenge, Jigsaw is still slightly better than the evil of completely withdrawing emotions like a robot: he not only gives people the freedom of twisted choice, but more importantly, he does not aim to destroy humanity, although He is the believer and implementer of "human nature is evil", but the twisted side still aims at the light behind the tunnel. If the clown in "The Dark Knight" is the spokesperson of the dark humanity, then Jigsaw is the little silver-gray embellishment behind the darkness. Although they are all genres, these slight differences make "Saw Cry" a little more realism; but from the perspective of performance alone, there is no doubt that the clown will win.
In the characterization of the character, in addition to evil and the full of revenge in his heart, the clown seems to be missing a negative side, that is, a weakness in his character. Jigsaw in the "Chain Saw" series still has the guilt and resentment of losing a child as a manifestation of the human side; but the omnipotent clown in "The Dark Knight" failed to show the audience his "Ah Kilis’ heel", which led to the deviation of the overall structure of the film, and also led to the question of the "dilemma" segment of the two ships: Is there any credibility in his miscalculation?
In the process of expressing the darkness of human nature, in addition to the clown who guides the plot as a navigation mark, the appearance of another important auxiliary character, the prosecutor Harvey, made "The Dark Knight" surpass "Chain Saw" in terms of the fullness of the overall character creation. Harvey went from flipping a coin to becoming a double-faced man. The moral of Harvey reminds me time and again of those famous black-and-white contrast fragments-a coin-faced killer and old sheriff in "No Country for Old Men"; "Capote" The trembling of the front door and the back door in ". Such a strong and straightforward meaning makes "The Dark Knight" surpass the ordinary comics and movies, and the focus has changed from the unexpected plot and special effects to the characterization of the character. This is why it is called the "most serious" Comic movie". However, it is worth mentioning that the two most successful and exciting characters in the movie are the Joker and the Prosecutor Harvey; and the dark knight Batman, who is the subject of the title, follows the plot like a silly guy. Only at the end highlights the heart. Of course, this arrangement is probably related to the overall rhythm of the Batman series: "Batman's Prequel" tells why white is white, and "The Dark Knight" describes why black is black; it can be speculated that after the deepest darkness, black and white The confrontation will be again before dawn, and it will probably be as exciting as director Christopher Nolan's most exciting work "Fatal Magic"-at least, I hope so with all my heart.
Speaking of “seriousness”, I think “seriousness” is a double-edged sword for genres such as comics, superman movies, cartoons, martial arts movies, and horror movies. The grasp of degree is the key. Otherwise, it will be a success. Xiao He is also Xiao He, and also Xiao He is defeated.
Basically, the biggest difference between a genre film and a realistic drama film is that there are many unreasonable points that do not need to be explained as a convention. For example, martial arts movies do not need to explain why heroes can fly over the wall, nor do they need to spend too much time explaining how ancient people could fly in the air and float on water like gods without the help of external force or technology; Superman comics have a hassle. Let’s stop by the ins and outs of super people. There is no need to explain in detail where the superpowers come from (otherwise it will become a sci-fi movie), and they rarely touch upon why these super-powered guys have to save the world as their own responsibility; and Apart from being evil and abominable, the bad guys, why can they go to heaven and earth to do anything evil, why do they do bad things if they want to. The audience generally regards these unreasonable and unreasonable details as a convention, and does not ask questions, or in other words, what the audience sees is such an extremely idealistic plot expressed through extreme romanticism, which should not be so serious. If genre films want to go beyond the clichés to make sparks, they have to challenge these not-so-serious assumptions, but to what extent they are challenged is a big question. It’s too serious. For example, the portrayal of the clown in "The Dark Knight" makes people unable to help but change their minds. They also seriously ask: The clown does not have the prominent background of Batman and does not have advanced technological weapons. How can he be able to? As omnipotent as God? How could he put his cell phone in the prisoner's body in the prison, and how could he just calculate the weakness of the guards so that everything went according to his plan? Batman allows engineer Lucius Fox to control the extremely powerful privacy surveillance system. What politician is behind this? The "Chain Saw Horror" series with basically the same theme, the audience generally will not break the casserole to the end in this way-after all, technical details are not the focus of horror movies. Visual horror and plot distortion have already consumed most of people's energy, as long as there is no logic. For major loopholes, a little bit of serious human nature discussions on the subject have already been impressive.
"Batman: The Dark Knight" as a whole is still under the framework of the comic Superman movie. The biggest highlight of the film-Heath Ledger's portrayal of the villain's clown and Prosecutor Harvey's double-faced image-makes this film The film greatly exceeds the limits of ordinary genre films, and it discusses many aspects of human darkness very seriously, and seriously challenges the forefront of the surrealist tone of genre films. This can be understood as a wonderful new equilibrium, or it can be said to seek dangerous new stimuli on the wire. How far this road can go, I have some doubts, I can only hold my breath and wait to watch director Christopher Nolan continue to show; but there is no doubt: the wonderful performance is definitely the bamboo pole on the steel wire to keep the balance — -In next year’s Oscars, the late Heath Ledger’s Best Supporting Actor is already firmly established.
