dark light

There is endless nothingness and light in the darkness. If there is darkness without light, the darkness is not complete. The light indicates the existence of a certain opposite, a symptom of expansion, an inherent quality of all things. The film tells a philosophical process: the combination of endless light and void gives birth to the deepest darkness, in which light breaks through the darkness and is reborn. Sin rises out of darkness, and light dawns in darkness. Sin, darkness, and even the cruelty and ugliness of human nature are not far from us. They and the good things we worship are the original source. I don't think this film is trying to sculpt the light and darkness of human nature. What I see is a sculpting of society - not even government or country - and the times. How the peaceful life of the crowd is broken, how from reason to madness, how from creation to destruction, how to abandon oneself and pick it up again. How sin uses desire to destroy civilization, and how it is destroyed in the disorder after civilization is destroyed. When we see the fight against evil as a war, everyone on the battlefield has the potential to become a hero. It's the hero who added the hero, not the hero himself - Batman finally returns to ordinary life, but the legendary hero in the dark prison is left behind. The film is projecting our present time, reflecting on the disasters, sins, and dooms we may face, and it makes me so terrified and wary. If the world can get better, it's all because we're afraid it will get worse. It's a trick of light and darkness.
I believe that I am not the only one who saw the disasters we have experienced in this film: the Cultural Revolution, nuclear fears, terrorist attacks, massacres, social disorder panic, military repression, sitting at the door for yourself and not being allowed to enter... Every fear has a different face in the movie. If there is a reason for the root of darkness, it is also that we begin to lose faith and therefore blindly believe, not to believe in others, and not to believe in ourselves. When we don't believe that our own actions can change the world, the world is destroyed. Batman says that everyone can be a hero, even if it's just to dress a helpless boy and make him feel like life can go on. Robin tells Gordon that he is beginning to understand why the rule is a yoke, because it makes even what ever happened a taboo. When we start to be disappointed in the world, it is time to do something to change it, make it better, and make the world more fair and just.
Our times have never been the best of times, history is hidden, heroes are stigmatized, power is traded, ordinary people oppress each other, silence. The villain in the movie said that not many of the 12 million people in Getan City are worthy of being saved, and not many are not burdened with sin, and neither do we. To witness ugliness, to tolerate it, to tolerate it, even to worship it, is a sin, and sin makes everyone incomplete and incomplete. Our greatest sin is to remain silent, to turn a blind eye. Let sin build a labyrinth under our feet and make an army. And all of this will eventually eat back into us, and we will be devastated by the sin that spews out. As Gordon begins to sense something in the dark, his colleagues laugh at him for plotting against him; as the robber gets away with a heinous crime, the police contemplate how they can catch their stigmatized hero. All of this is really happening around us, in front of us, in newspapers, and in unspeakable secrets. Even if we take it for granted in life, if we see it in a movie, we can still be calm, without feeling shame, anxiety, reflection or even It is to act, then what about a better tomorrow and a happy life? We are clearly burying ourselves silently.
We need more people to speak up, even if it's just talk and complaints. Never think that complaining is useless. When one thing is complained about too much, someone will definitely stand up to solve it and get the benefits he deserves from it, which may be money, or reputation and prestige. This is the difference between individuals and societies. When we start to feel dissatisfied constantly, we ourselves will consciously act to improve our situation. Of course, Batman alone can't save the city, the cops can't take back control of the city without sacrifice, and we can't earn a brighter tomorrow on our own. We need to get rid of suspicion and help each other. This is the general trend, and it is also biological nature. This also explains why the people who seem to be the calmest have the most conflicts and eventually get out of hand; the parliament, who fights all day, gains a stable regime.
The film is not about kindness and beauty, even Hathaway, the beauty, keeps hiding under the mask. It projects sins and the possibilities behind them, and how we confront them and recognize them. Didn't the sage once say, know shame and then be brave, and examine yourself three times a day? This film is a reflection on our time and society. Heroes are no longer the heroes they used to be. They have been touted, worshipped, stigmatized, hated, sluggish, risen, and hidden; the city of Getan is no longer the city of Songtan it used to be; the evil is not what it used to be. sin. But what about the crowd? What about us in the crowd? What about me among us? Since there are no heroes to change the world, we should always do it ourselves. What Batman can save Songtan is not skill or high technology, but the back of a hero, an inspiration of justice. Not everyone can be a hero, but we all have the opportunity to be heroes, to be the most perfect version of ourselves, to seize the faint light in the darkness.
