Revolution
Jackson 2022-03-20 09:01:07
Totalitarianism, as described in the novel 1984, is both dark and terrifying, but when the Western capitalist countries that claim to be democratic have long been corrupted under the glamorous surface, why not prevent a vigorous riot, just use it. The most extreme, the most authoritarian, and the cruelest way to completely wash away this dirty and profitable city, this country, and even this world. But a nuclear bomb can't change anything, and a Batman can't save anyone's soul. When everything is overthrown, the result will be the same, and it may be more sinister, and the victory of communism will only usher in. Characteristic socialism, because human nature is hard to change, there is so much helplessness in the real world. Personally, the film seems to be a bit of an allusion to the Cultural Revolution of that year. The same assets are shared, the rich and the poor are robbed, the same villains and hooligans are in power, and the "literati and elegant" are criticized. In my opinion, if it were not for the Batman series, the title should be called League of Shadows: Revolution instead of Batman: The Dark Knight Rises. It's just that this revolution is mixed with too many personal grievances.

Bane: [after imploding the football field, Bane and his mercenaries appear, and Bane picks up a microphone off one of the coaches] Gotham, take control! Take control of your city.
Bane: [the bomb is wheeled in] This... this is the instrument of your liberation!
[His mercenaries bring Dr. Pavel forward and make him kneel in front of Bane]
Bane: Identify yourself to the world.
[holds microphone in front of Dr. Pavel, as if he is conducting a news interview]
Dr. Pavel: Dr. Leonid Pavel, nuclear physicist.
Bane: And what... what is this?
Dr. Pavel: It's a... fully primed neutron bomb, with a blast radius of six miles.
Bane: And who is capable of disarming such a device?
Dr. Pavel: Only me.
Bane: Only you. Thank you, good doctor!
[snaps Dr. Pavel's neck. The crowd screams in terror]
Bane: Now, this bomb is armed! This bomb is mobile! And the identity of the triggerman is a mystery. For one of you holds the detonator! And we came here not as conquerors, but as liberators to return control of this city to the people. And at the first sign of interference from the outside world, or for those people attempting to flee, this anonymous Gothamite - this unsung hero - will trigger the bomb. For now, martial law is in effect. Return to your homes, hold your families close, and wait. Tomorrow you claim what is rightfully yours.
[Bane drops the mike, turns, and leaves the playing field]

[Uzbekistani Army soldiers carrying Dr. Pavel greet a CIA agent and several Special Ops soldiers]
CIA Agent: Dr. Pavel, I'm CIA.
[shakes hands with Dr. Pavel]
Barsad: He wasn't alone.
[motions to three hooded prisoners he has brought alone]
CIA Agent: Uh... you don't get to bring friends.
Dr. Pavel: They are not my friends.
Barsad: Don't worry, no charge for them.
CIA Agent: And why would I want them?
Barsad: They were trying to grab your prize. They work for the mercenary. The masked man...
CIA Agent: Bane?
[the driver nods]
CIA Agent: Get him on board, I'll call it in.
