Nolan is not a prolific director, but the limited number of films he directed includes classics such as "Memories", "Fatal Magic", "Batman: Shadow of the Mystery", even if it is not too The famous "Following" is definitely a high-level work. The following keywords are always indispensable to describe Nolan's films: tension, suspense, excitement, plot twists and turns, full of tension. Watching his film, you can't just watch it with cold eyes, you will be completely involved in it without knowing it, and chewed repeatedly after watching it.
In Nolan's film, there is no absolute concept of good and bad people: Lenny in "Memory Fragment" frantically looks for the murderer of his wife every day, but finally finds that the murderer is %#※￥... (omitted here) ; Angie and Borden in "Fatal Magic" can not be easily judged by good people and bad people. Both have pity and hate; and in "The Dark Knight", they were regarded as high in the past. The Batman of Tan City Heroes was also resisted by the citizens. According to the clown, they are people on the same level. When people no longer need him, he will be abandoned in the first place like leprosy. It is this blurring of good and evil that makes the characters in the film have their own unique charms, and also makes the audience have their own different interpretations and positions. You can support the righteous and awe-inspiring Batman, or you can pursue the weird and arrogant clown, and from the audience's reflection of this film, the clown undoubtedly has the advantage.
I have seen some film critics praise Heath Ledger's performance in the film before, and even predicted that next year's Oscar for Best Supporting Actor has already been booked by him. I thought that this was just a kind of praise for the deceased person, after all, no one would have trouble with a dead person. But after I watched the film, I just want to say that if Heath Ledger is absent from next year's Oscar, this will be another scandal in Oscar history!
Tousled hair, dark eye circles, pale face, and a sharp scar next to his bright red lips, it looks absolutely chilling at first glance. The free eyes, the presumptuous laughter, the constantly shaking head, the tongue that sticks out from time to time when speaking is actually like a poisonous snake spitting out a message, and the whole body exudes an evil temperament.
Looking back on Heath Ledger’s growth trajectory along the way, from the complete loss to Matt Damon in "Brothers Grimm" to the nomination of the Oscar for Best Actor in "Broken Back", to this time "The Dark Knight" The clowns here are perverse but full of mystery. Such characters often exude a strong and charming temperament, such as Captain Jack in "Pirates of the Caribbean", such as Mr. L in "Death Note".
This time, the clown played by Heath Ledger not only has more emphasis on appearance, but also has a personal feeling far better than Jack Nicholson’s version of the clown in the inner portrayal of the character. After all, the Batman movies of that era also included With a strong sense of comics and a lot of comedy elements. The clown under Nolan looks chaotic and crazy, but his thinking is very careful. He can accurately grasp the enemy's psychology and guide it to develop in a direction that is beneficial to him. Going alone and persuading a group of big guys in Gotham; angering the guarding police and then holding them back; trapping Batman in wrongdoing, causing Batman to shake his confidence; and the last game game, from my point of view, in reality The ending will definitely end with the death of one party. But Nolan decided to leave a bright ending for the audience in this dark film. This is also a helpless compromise Nolan made to the market.
By the way, the heroes are generally short of breath in several recent comic-based movies. In the final duel of "Spider-Man 3", Spider-Man turned out to be a spectator in the field, and lost the majestic scene that should have belonged to him. In the "Dark Knight", Batman has always fallen behind in the confrontation with the Joker, often The latter was teased, angered and roared again and again, and what was even worse was that the last thing Batman’s confidante said before his death was actually to marry someone else. The bright knight whom he regarded as the hope of Gotham, also Under the clown's step-by-step lure, he sinks and degenerates and becomes a terrible double-faced person. At the end of the film, in order to prevent the clown's plan from succeeding, Batman chose to bear everything on his back and became a silent guardian-the dark knight, but this compromise itself is actually a failure.
A successful work is often accompanied by considerable controversy. But personally, the work Nolan dedicated this time obviously did not disappoint me. Regardless of whether it is reasonable to squeeze "The Godfather" behind on IMDB for a long time, I can at least say that "The Dark Knight" is worthy of its $513 million box office and worthy of the 5-star recommendation I gave him.
Nolan returns, showing the king's demeanor; the
clown ascends the throne, we will wait and see!
