Hollywood's big productions, I guessed for a while, except for epic films such as Gone with the Wind, there are few serious works - after all, history needs to be serious, or it will become a spoof. As for this kind of comic-adapted superhero movie, there is no serious work at all. To watch this kind of movie, what you want is a big scene + popcorn, entertainment first. So when Nolan took our lovely "Mr. Underpants on Your Head" a little more seriously in 2005, everyone's biggest feeling was a breath of fresh air. Serious discussion of life + shaping of characters + big scenes + solid script is the key to the success of the first film, entertainment is the first, limited discussion, the box office word of mouth double harvest, IMDB's top 100 is the proof. The success of the first film obviously allowed Comrade Nolan to get the sword of Shang Fang, and the intensification of the second "Dark Knight" is a matter of course.
Seriously, the first thing to change is the characters. Batman is not a superman, he can't block bullets, he's not a spiderman, and he can't escape from the sky. This time, the superhero's skills are extremely weak. To put it bluntly, Mr. Wayne is a special elite with advanced equipment for 5 years. After all, it is a person. On the other hand, our villain, the Clown classmate, is too weak. Basically, if he is singled out, it is estimated that any policeman will throw him over. Both characters are fully humanized.
In this, the design of the role of the clown itself is a little more convenient, or not so human: although he is physically disadvantaged, his excellent IQ makes up for it, and he has the most terrifying weapon - "unscrupulous" , such a character is very popular in a serious movie (most people go to the movie just to get away from reality for a while and relax, Nolan is serious again, this time a How unruly clowns are in line with public expectations 3), coupled with Heath Tongshoe's wonderful performance and tragic life experience, this year's most popular screen character came into being... There is such a great guy The villain, what he needs, is to torture our humanized male protagonist. So here we see that Batman, who is free from inside and outside the system, suffers the bad luck of his beloved. Although the clown was finally arrested, as he said: I did not fail, I still have an ace - Harvey. However, after Batman caught the Joker, he had no ability to redeem Harvey. Just like Rachel's Journey to the West, Batman was completely defeated by the Joker in the movie.
We are all accustomed to superheroes turning the tide, overturning villains in danger, saving the universe from danger, and such humiliating superheroes are unique. But in contrast, the humanization of the hero is also unparalleled. Heroes don't fail (even if they do, it's for the sake of finally throwing over the trolls of Big Pharaoh), but people do. Nolan's intention couldn't be more obvious, to completely turn the protagonist into a human, and only human can take it seriously.
Why did Batman lose? Physical strength is dominant, resources are dominant, and even if his intelligence is slightly less than his 1mol brain tank - he loses to the clown's ultimate weapon: unscrupulous. The Joker said: The biggest difference between me and you (Batman) is that I can do whatever it takes, but you are someone who lives within the system. Batman himself is free from the system, but he believes in the system: he arrests criminals, not kills them; he destroys the invincible perverted mobile phone map machine to protect his privacy; he unconditionally supports and believes that Harvey, a rich man Only a prosecutor with a sense of justice, this knight of light, can bring the ultimate justice to Gotham City—using the legal means within the system.
Of course, Mr. Wayne, who is bound by the system, cannot be the opponent of the Clown classmates. In reality, which of us might have ever done someone who can break the rules of the game? (Example: 1. When your baby is poisoned by melamine, you go to court in anger in order to seek justice, and the joker will tell you: do not approve the case. 2. When your daughter is wei xie, you have to seek justice When you make a statement, the joker will tell you: You are a fart. 3. When you are not satisfied with your political treatment and go to visit the dead body of Uncle Mao, the joker will not tell you anything, he will not use a bazooka, don't I have switched to tanks...) Based on this, I express my deepest condemnation and sincerest condolences to the injustice suffered by Batman's classmates.
Here, Nolan has made a great superhero movie a real masterpiece. And when Harvey died in the end, in order to maintain the reputation of this bright knight, in order to maintain the last hope of the citizens of Gotham for justice, Batman resolutely shouldered the responsibility of the murderer, was hunted by the police, and at the same time hunted down evil, becoming the protection of the city. The Dark Knight - The Birth of a Tragic Hero.
This situation is beyond regret. Amid the heavy soundtrack, let's give the Dark Knights a round of applause.
