Now I'm starting to understand a little bit that these public thoughts are the most realistic part of comics. Ordinary people are probably not without fear of these "chivalrous men" with god-like abilities. Because they possess these abilities beyond their reach and control, they are our friends today, who can guarantee that they will always be so? We need checks and balances, we need restraint, we need peace of mind, we need everything in our hands.
From this, I thought of the joker's line, saying that the world likes careful planning and unexpected things. Predicting the death of a gangster or a regiment of soldiers won't elicit a big reaction, because these are expected things; if a mayor is dying, the world will be in chaos.
The life of the people of Getham City is vividly portrayed in this film. The whole film took two and a half hours, and I felt terrified. I didn’t know what would happen in the next moment. How would the screenwriter test the audience’s trust in human nature: Watching other superhero movies, I don’t feel so nervous, all because Some of them are not out of the way, as expected; watching these ordinary people struggle to see the explosive device, whether they press it or not, everything depends on whether the
screenwriter 's belief in the inherent goodness of human nature (or the audience's ability to accept it) is strong. That episode was terrifyingly real, asking the innocent people, denouncing how the criminals not far away are full of evil, and it is not a pity to die, our lives are more precious than their lives, and we are more worthy of life than them... However, shouting Someone who was so hoarse, didn't dare to press that button. We all have cleanliness requirements for our own character, and our life is of course precious, but in the face of thousands of eyewitnesses, it is best to let others do things that harm others and save ourselves. If there is a recognized sinner standing Come out and do this filthy deed no better: their dirty hands are stained with more blood and guilt, as the world expects of them; my life is saved, and my clean hands are still pure and noble. Human nature, this is often the case.
Of course, from a bright point of view, we can still believe that the screenwriter really believes that human nature is good to write such a paragraph, but the plot hints that human nature has such a dark side, which shows that the script has exceeded the level of ordinary superhero entertainment blockbusters.
When it comes to black, it seems to be the basic tone and eternal theme of Batman. Now for comparison, I have always regarded the classic Batman episodes 1 and 2. Of course, the tone is black, but it is oozing with Tim Burton's signature black, like a piece of velvet, which is reflected intentionally or unintentionally in the low-key black. The dark knight's black is completely and unreservedly black, as profoundly silent as a black hole, even the sunlight of Getham City, the pale and bright red oil paint on the clown's face, it feels like a black hole. Inhaled darkness. On the surface, such a movie that is not all black, but the base tone is completely dark, can be said to be very rare, and it also shows the director's ability to create an atmosphere.
This movie feels like it doesn't get much attention to Batman, probably because Heath Ledger's performance as the Joker is too prominent. Originally, with Jack Nicholson's performance in front, it would be quite difficult to surpass it; it is rare that Heath Ledger can show a cartoon-style interpretation that is completely different from Jack Nicholson, perfectly performing the twisted evil of the clown. The Joker in Dark Knight is the creepiest villain I have ever seen. Almost as soon as I see him appearing, I feel uneasy and fearful. This crazy acting is enough to make the audience go crazy. Aside from Heath Ledger's ghostly acting skills, his interpretation of the human values represented by the clown is the second layer of horror that makes me feel creepy. The clown's twisted, crazy, and outrageous thoughts are not completely fanciful: I do believe that human nature is so twisted that it is indeed possible to do anything. Even a small office in a big city is probably full of villains who don’t want to be named or profit, just want to destroy as much as they want, and cause chaos in the world; who knows when a clown will appear in the real world?
Even as a two-faced person who has played less, his paranoia and madness about fairness, the film depicts the same three-dimensional (I wonder if he has a chance to continue to play in the future). This time, apart from the charm of Mr. Butler played by Michael Caine, the description of decent characters can be said to be relatively infrequent. Mostly the paranoia of these villains is not uncommon in daily life, so it seems to be particularly impressive, while positive and great characters like Batman are hard to find in reality. Dark Knight makes full use of these characters with extreme personalities and exaggerates the dark side of human nature. Squeeze flat, borrow to tell the story you want to tell. A project that was supposed to be very commercial and entertaining, finally showed such depth, please allow me to say Bravo!
