As we all know, this director's cut version is half an hour longer than the theatrical version, reaching more than three hours. In the first hour, the undercurrent was surging, and Luther's various tricks to provoke both sides; in the middle, the conflict escalated, robbing stones, future dreams, Ryan's investigation, and document decryption; in the last hour, the conflict broke out in an all-round way, until the end, the devil descended, Ding ding ding...
The half-hour supplementary content is mostly sprinkled into the first two hours of content, mostly foreshadowing literary dramas, such as focusing on some details of the causes and consequences of Superman's frame-up, Superman as a reporter to investigate the dialogue of Batman , the public opinion's attitude towards Superman, and more scenes of the congressman visiting Luthor, as the theatrical version, the content of the last hour is basically kept intact, except for the funeral that adds length at the end and the flash of the sequel clue Steppenwolf.
In the first two hours of the whole film, there are some changes in the editing sequence along with the supplementary shots: Superman investigates Batman line, Ryan investigates Luthor conspiracy line, Batman's inner struggle line, through some additional shots, character direction, dialogue makes These three clues are clearer than the narrative in the theater version. They unfolded in parallel in the first hour, gradually converged in the second hour, and converged and erupted in the last hour, finally smashing the doomsday. If the theatrical version was long and criticized a lot, the narrative of this version should be better. The screenshot below is an example of the African case that framed Superman and led to Lane's investigation shortly after the opening.
(It is worth noting that this person is the guy who raised his middle finger in the previous picture. The upper sight of the HK416 assault rifle he is holding is a triple telescope G23 that can be folded to the right and an EOtech holographic sight The combination mirror of the mirror, the combination of the two can deal with the target at medium and short distances at the same time without replacing the sights.)
Finally, subjectively, some of the soundtracks seem to have changed, but the specific changes, the theater version of the record Not clear.
On the whole, after supplementation and some re-editing, this director's cut version is clearer than the theatrical version in laying out contradictory narratives, and it also lays a clear foreshadowing of the sequel, but there is no cut version and theater version like the Kingdom of Heaven. If the online version is different, the score of the edited version should be improved by about 0.5 points.
Since the beginning of this century, movies adapted from American superhero comics headed by Marvel and DC have been sweeping the world. As a derivative of comics, it should be said that compared with movies adapted from various literary masterpieces, no matter the cultural heritage, the depth of thinking, The research value is relatively lacking. These comics about superheroes are wrapped in entertainment, superpowers, and various parallel worlds. They have been constantly modifying the plot line so that there is no substantial plot progress (for example, Marvel and DC have used the world to destroy, so go back to To modify the future in the past, the pros and cons are resurrected, and continue to love and kill each other in a near-reincarnation setting), over the years, with the changes in the reading group, new characters and world views have been continuously expanded, reshaped, and integrated into one. In a relatively self-explanatory framework, this allows readers to look at characters whose origins are older than the previous generation of family members without feeling like an idiot or messy, but that's the limit.
In different eras, different cartoonists have created various plots for the same theme and the same character. Even now, the same character under the same cartoon company may have different character settings due to different branch world views. , plot, character. This is not to mention the re-creation after the director gets the shooting and the script. This is basically a parallel world with comic names and characters. Even loyal fans will be born because of the different opinions of various parallel plots. Quarrel, not to mention more moviegoers who are just having fun. So the Marvel Universe and the DC Universe began to do the same thing: shooting a series of movies, integrating the world view, converging the plot line, attracting more audiences and extending the life cycle. (Of course, this still cannot change the status quo that the original comics are already messy and saturated with characters.)
In addition to entertaining the public and creating profits from comic peripheral products, do these superhero comics and movies still have some inspirational role? To entertain and discuss topics that are too serious or outrageous to be discussed by the general public?
For example: Who are people? How can overall relative freedom and equality be ensured between different groups with widely differing abilities? How should the cult of someone with more power, technology, intelligence, etc. be viewed?
These comics and movies almost unanimously pass the opposition/unity between (pro and villain) superheroes, the opposition/worship between superheroes and the general public, the compromise/opposition between those in power and superheroes, so three The theme and the conflicts intertwined in the six aspects are excavated on the plot. In the real society, the super human has not actually been announced today. I gave my own ideas in advance for such a series of seemingly outrageous and serious issues: these How will superhumans react? How will the public respond? How will those in power govern? After conflicts arise, how to resolve potential crises arising from the inconsistency of capacity, power and quantity? By facing the assumptions of the future, this is probably the legacy that these comics and movies can leave to future generations in addition to the entertainment impression they have left on the present.
Of course, if people are still evolving, it might be better for this day to arrive imperceptibly.
