Batman has a nice car

Weekend impressions: The rumors are true, the hospital meals can really make fat people lose weight quickly.

Getting to the point: Actually I guess a lot of people go to Batman Begins for a cool car. And I, after the movie, can also have a super close contact with this cool car through the game of the same name on the PS2...

Director Christopher Nolan seems to be not interested in comic-like expressions, borrow Batman this The motif continues the black detective plot of Memento and Insomnia. The most disappointing thing is that the popular reality style is also sought after by Batman. It seems that since Smallville was an attempt to define "realism" as the best way to express the prequels. Nolan's Batman loses its original feel and becomes a generic film about eradicating urban evil. Just wearing a Batman skin. Might as well go see Sin City. Nolan is playing collage, and the Himalayan art scene obviously has the feeling of Star Wars (please, Batman is a little focused, please don't interrupt to join the Oriental feeling, and what kind of shadow gate, etc.), when the bat group is dispatched, it is with hope The flock of birds in District Kirk. Isn't that scary headgear the idea of ​​a mask! Even the filming of Gotham City's location abandoned New York to Chicago, so it was branded with a layer of Chicago gangster marks. There is also the use of those familiar old faces, Michael Caine, Morgan Freeman, which by the way also drags the impression of other films they have starred in. btw, when did Batman become George Bush? That tone is sometimes like a pole. It is estimated that the screenwriter's brain has been nailed down. Didn't dig deep enough in terms of character settings. Liam Neeson's contra-angle is not like a contra-angle, and it was a mistake for the director to use him. In terms of plot design, why not make Dr. Jonathan Crane the other side of Bruce Wayne? ? Rutger Hauer's Earle is supposed to be evil!

Favorite points are: snow mountain exterior. Not like it was shot in the Himalayas, I guess it was shot in the north of North America, either Alaska or Greenland? The snowy mountains and glaciers in the wide-angle lens are very shocking on the wide screen. The presence is strong and reminds me of northern Norway deep into the Arctic Circle. It's a pity that such a shot is very short, and the wide screen has the mission of carrying more such pictures, but the director did not make good use of it. The line design and reading are still relatively restrained, not the kind of drake voice in ordinary American films. good! That sack of horror mask is so minimalist it's sure to use it at your next masquerade ball. Cillian Murphy's appearance as Dr. is reminiscent of David Sylvian's appearance on Japan's Tin Drum record jacket.

Finally back to my focus: the Batmobile! The Batmobile in this episode completely subverts the simple idea of ​​​​the previous American sports car and bat look. The new car is a super cross-border hybrid of F1 and military tanks! Its diamond-shaped surface is segmented like the ground version of the F117. The data search shows that in the concept design stage, prop designer Nathan Crowley played model bashing. He bought a 1:12 scale Lamborghini (Hong Kong translation) Countach and a Hummer from the model store. The two were cut alive and reassembled, and some details were taken from the P-38 to use as the jet engine butt of the Batmobile. The real thing uses GM's 5.7-liter Chevy V8 engine with 340 horsepower to make the 5,000-pound car (so heavy, it can even complete the difficult action of jumping into a Batcave) can go from 0 to 60 mph in just 5.3 seconds. The jet engine in the ass is real, it burns propane. In terms of tires, after three months of searching, they finally settled on a 37-inch diameter 4x4 mud tire called Super Swampers. The front tires are Hoosier racing tires. Visibility in the cab is poor and cameras and monitors must be used to see to the side and rear. Without air conditioning in the car, long-term driving will make you lose weight significantly. Each car costs $250,000. Of course, they were using a 1:5 scale miniature version when flying around the roof.

In the game, I drove this car to knock out 12 heavy trucks and dozens of civilian RVs within 5 minutes. The destructive power is quite impressive. . .

    I don’t know why I was embarrassed by the apprenticeship and art...

    This is not as good as the prequel 2 led by Christopher_Nolan. Without a real JOKER, the plots of Batman and Superman are almost the same, but at least this gives the prequel 2 a good start.

Batman Begins quotes

  • Batman: [perched on the railing of a stairway behind Gordon's home] Storm's coming.

    Jim Gordon: [closing the door to his kitchen where his wife and son are] The scum is getting jumpy because you stood up to Falcone.

    Batman: It's a start. Your partner was at the docks with Falcone.

    Jim Gordon: Well, he moonlights as a low-level enforcer.

    Batman: They were splitting the shipment in two. Only half went to the dealers.

    Jim Gordon: Why? What about the other half?

    Batman: Flass knows.

    Jim Gordon: He won't talk.

    Batman: He'll talk to me.

    Jim Gordon: Commissioner Loeb set up a massive task force to catch you. He thinks you're dangerous.

    Batman: What do you think?

    Jim Gordon: I think you're trying to help...

    [Gordon looks away momentarily; upon turning back, he finds that Batman has disappeared]

    Jim Gordon: But I've been wrong before.

  • Lucius Fox: It's called memory cloth. Notice anything?

    [Bruce runs the material through his fingers, and shrugs, "no."]

    Lucius Fox: Regularly flexible. But put a current through it...

    [the cloth springs into the shape of a one-person tent]

    Lucius Fox: Molecules re-align, becomes rigid.

    Bruce Wayne: What kind of shapes can you make?

    Lucius Fox: Can be tailored to fit any structure based on a rigid skeleton.

    Bruce Wayne: Too expensive for the Army?

    Lucius Fox: I don't think they tried to market it to the billionaire, spelunking, BASE-jumping crowd.

    Bruce Wayne: Look, Mr. Fox.

    Lucius Fox: Yes, sir?

    Bruce Wayne: If you're uncomfortable...

    Lucius Fox: Mister Wayne, if you don't want to tell me exactly what you're doing, when I'm asked, I don't have to lie. But don't think of me as an idiot.

    Bruce Wayne: Fair enough.
