A Simple Analysis of the Details of the Doomsday War

Iva 2022-04-23 07:01:14

Regarding the last episode of the final battle in bvs, I noticed a lot of details after three brushes. I have gradually got the whole picture of the whole battle in my mind. I record it here to show that the movie is still very careful in the design of the plot. Because I watched the original version without subtitles, it was completely based on listening, so there may be mistakes and omissions. When some lines need to be mentioned, they can only put English lines or translate them to the effect.

First of all, we must complain about humans who are self-righteous, regardless of whether Superman lives or dies, and ends up doing a disservice. Without that nuclear bomb, Superman might have thrown Doomsday into space beyond the geosynchronous orbit. After all, when he was in MOS, he had the ability to escape black holes. But a nuclear bomb not only stunned the most powerful helper in outer space, but also made Doomsday an undead monster. As a result, the three giants of Zhenglian had to start a difficult battle against monsters.

Doomsday's back-to-surface location in Metropolis was overwhelming, and Batman immediately realized that only the kryptonite spear could kill it. So with the dialogue between him and the butler, the monster must be led to the abandoned port in Gaotan. Batman led Doomsday to High Pool with his fighter plane, but on the way, he was hit by Doomsday and crashed some distance from the port. This can be confirmed from the perspective when Superman went to save Lois later. At that time, the battle was in full swing, and Superman looked at the place where Lois was drowning in midair, obviously there was still some distance away. So, since Batman fell, all he's been trying to do is direct Doomsday on the ground to where the kryptonite spear dropped in order to fix it in place.

Many people questioned why Batman didn't go directly to the kryptonite spear? First, after the fighter plane crashed, he could only rely on walking, and he had to avoid the attack of the Doomsday from time to time. It was very difficult to get close to the building that was still a certain distance away. Second, it's not that he doesn't want to look for it, but he has been looking for opportunities to approach the building, and at the same time, he hopes to lead Doomsday to approach it together. So when Superman got the spear, Doomsday was significantly closer to that building than before he went to save Lois. This is the result of the joint battle between Wonder Woman and Batman.

Next, is the role and division of labor of the Big Three in the battle. As an ordinary person, Batman is incapable of fighting Doomsday head-on. What he can do is, first, lead Doomsday to the location of the kryptonite spear by dodging, and secondly, the only weapon he can rely on is the Kryptonite powder bullet. He had made a total of three before, two of which had been used in the battle with Superman, and the only remaining one had to be used to weaken Doomsday's combat effectiveness at the most critical moment. That's why he kept dodging back and forth, hoping to find the most favorable fighter to hit him. Although Wonder Woman is strong in combat, her role is more to disrupt Doomsday by attacking on the periphery. An interesting point is that the Wonder Woman set in this movie should not be able to fly, and the entire battle is basically jumping, or simply attacking from the bottom. This is also a setting that is closely linked to the plot. How to kill Doomsday, Batman and the butler have already said in the dialogue, it must be possible to achieve it by piercing the skin with a kryptonite spear. And Wonder Woman has a scene in the battle where she cuts off the monster's finger with her sword, and it quickly regenerates. Taking these details together, it shows that to kill Doomsday, it is not feasible to simply pierce the limbs with a kryptonite spear. It must be deeply penetrated into the key part of the heart. Batman is an ordinary person, and there is no chance of getting close to Doomsday, and Wonder Woman can't fly, so she can't stab Doomsday's heart, so this task is destined to be completed only by Superman. The final blow of the war was also accomplished by the three of them together. Wonder Woman fixed Doomsday with the lasso of truth, so that Batman had the opportunity to accurately fire the last bullet at Doomsday, using kryptonite powder to weaken its attack ability, and because of the potency of kryptonite powder, It took Superman's hard-hitting blow to penetrate Doom's outer layers and stab inside, ultimately killing it. It can be said that the whole step is a series of links, and one is indispensable.

Also talk about the role of lois. Here I want to like all the women in the movie with IQ online. Lois's reaction was quite fast. When she came out to see Doomsday, she immediately thought that the wreckage of the Kryptonian fighter had strange energy, and naturally thought that Doomsday was a product of Krypton, and that kryptonite spear might be the magic weapon for victory. , so immediately turned to look for the spear. Seeing someone complaining about why Superman rescued Lois at that time, I really don't understand the brain circuit of this kind of complaining. Don't say that lois is his lover, even if an ordinary person is in distress in that situation, wouldn't Superman save people? In an abandoned port, with two comrades fighting the enemy, if anyone is in danger, shouldn't Superman be obliged to save people? Otherwise, is he still Superman? Is it a sin just because the person being saved is lois? Moreover, saving Lois also allowed Superman to quickly find the key weapon.

In fact, what I want to say most is the parting scene between Lois and Superman. In fact, this scene is not long, and there are only a few lines before and after. When I swiped it first, I just regarded it as an ordinary romance clip, but after the third swipe, I was deeply touched by this scene. When Lois tried in vain to stop Superman, Superman only said two words to her: "This is my world. You are my world." And these two sentences correspond to the previous episodes. After the Congress exploded, the disheartened Superman had a conversation with Lois on the balcony. Lois touched the "S" representing "Hope" on his chest and said, "This means something." At that time, Superman replied: " This means something in my world. But that world doesn't exist any more." From "that world doesn't exist" to "This is my world", the hope in Superman's chest has not disappeared. After so much, he Still choose to fight for those he loves. "You are my world", not just lois, but all the humans he loves and is willing to fight for.

Similarly, there is the last sentence "Man is still good" that Batman said in front of Superman's grave, which corresponds to the sentence "20 years in Gotham, how many good guys left?" he said to the butler before the showdown with Superman. How many stay that way?" Superman's sacrifice brings Batman back to life. Hope is the most precious legacy that Superman left to the world.

Finally, let's talk about Doomsday. Why does it appear? Very simple, there is only one reason, and that is to kill Superman. As Lex said, man can't kill god, devil does. The man here is Batman, and the devil is Doomsday. But Lex's motivation wasn't as simple as killing Superman. In my understanding, there must be Darkseid's influence here. As the most likely villain of the Zhenglian movie, darkseid is also hinted at in bvs, and the demon above the angel in the final painting, as well as what Lex said in prison, are proof. According to the newly cut clips, Lex must be related to Darkseid, either working together or being influenced by it. And Superman is the only opponent Darkseid is afraid of, so he will use Lex's hand to do everything possible to kill him.

I like bvs, the most important reason is that this time I really watch the movie with my eyes, not only because of the exquisite pictures, but also because of the style of Zha Dao's lens language. In many cases, instead of using the dialogue between characters to explain or promote the plot, he uses one shot to tell the story to the audience. Too often, when I watch a movie, I'm used to waiting for the characters in the show to tell me what the story is about, rather than seeing it with my eyes and thinking about it with my brain. This time, I can finally return to a real video world, which is really pleasant. Of course, this style is also very controversial, and I can understand some criticism, but I can't help but fall in love with such a flawed film. Every time you watch it, you can understand something more. This kind of movie viewing experience has not been experienced for a long time. What's more, it's so beautiful~~~
