Two Hundred and Seventy-Nine - The Poor Rely on Mutation, the Rich Rely on Technology
The long plot before "Batman Begins" shows how a man hone himself step by step and overcomes his inner fear.
Moreover, Wayne also used a very concise method to introduce the plot setting of "Joker". This film is directly connected with "Joker".
And after seeing this, the audience basically understands the simple relationship between the characters. Even if the pace suddenly speeds up later, there will be no viewing difficulties.
In the Chinese Theater in Los Angeles, Bella Grant is also thinking while watching. She is different from the ordinary movie fans around her. Tomorrow morning's "Los Angeles Times" will undertake some film promotion tasks, and her report will also be published in the entertainment industry. On the section headlines.
After watching the film, not to mention the subsequent results, the biggest surprise for her was that Christian Bale's portrayal of Batman could be said to be very successful, and she was sure that for a long time after the film was released, , the British actor will become the real-world Bruce Wayne.
Even if Christian Bale doesn't want to, fans will regard him as the spokesperson of Batman. This is what he has gained in exchange for his profound performance, which is both glory and restraint.
"Bella." The photographer sitting next to her didn't look away from the big screen. He called her in a low voice and said, "If I were you, I would find a way to do an exclusive interview with the leading actor in the film. This young man wants to become famous. It’s so purple, his performance is like Batman Advent.”
"You think so too?" Bella Grant didn't expect that her partner would actually think of her. "I will make an appointment for an interview as soon as possible. Of course, it is best to have an exclusive interview."
The film has been shown to the ceremony where Bruce Wayne has passed the examination and is about to officially join the Shadow Warriors League. At the same time, the leader of the organization finally stated his purpose, which is to destroy Gotham City, which they regard as hopeless.
He was also asked to kill a thief on the spot to prove his sincerity to the organization.
The premiere of Shadow Warriors also compared Gotham City to the decline of Constantine and ancient Rome, which is as irreversible as history. Gotham City will eventually perish in its own demise.
The Shadow Warriors Alliance only acts as the hand of God to accelerate the destruction and rebirth of Gotham City. In the eyes of the Shadow Warriors Alliance, Gotham City is a cancer in the world and must be uprooted to restore peace to the world.
Of course Bruce Wayne refused. He swore that he would not kill anyone. When he discovered that the purpose of the Shadow Warriors Alliance was to destroy his hometown, he decided to destroy this evil organization.
So, as he burned down the organization academy, the action scene suddenly accelerated and ushered in the first high point of the film.
After various fierce fighting and explosion scenes, the Kagemusha Alliance organization seemed to be destroyed. He also rescued his soul mentor Henry Duca before he fell into the cliff.
After everything was over, Bruce Wayne ended his wandering life and returned to Gotham City after a long absence.
At this time, the city has been controlled by Carmine's gang, and the judiciary and police have collaborated, making Gotham City even more sinking and declining than before he left.
Bruce Wayne is determined to change the city's status quo and bring justice back. He believes that Gotham City lacks an incarnation and symbol of justice, which has caused the people of Gotham to lose faith and hope.
This symbol cannot be achieved by Bruce Wayne in flesh and blood, so the concept of Batman was born.
He returned to the underground cave where he fell as a child to face the source of his fear again, the bat. And use Batman as his own symbol of justice, so as to embrace fear and let himself burst out with greater power.
When Bruce Wayne hugged the swarms of bats and raised his head proudly, powerful background music also sounded in the film.
"Batman Begins" has been released so far. The tone of the film is dark and serious storytelling, especially with such a bitter and hateful male protagonist. Although the audience can accept this serious and stereotyped story style, they are also interested in it. Suppressed emotions have been accumulating.
The majestic background music, coupled with the image of Bruce Wayne hugging the bats, made everyone excited instantly and released the suppressed emotions.
The audience understood that the real Batman was born at this moment, and the familiar superhero who fights crime and silently protects Gotham City is here.
Although there were exhalations of joy in the theater, no one clapped, let alone discussed the plot with friends. This is destined to be a dark and serious epic, and people just want to focus on the film. , lest you miss a frame or a second.
The camera turned on the screen, and another scene familiar to DC fans appeared, Arkham Asylum.
Klein is a psychiatrist who specializes in working for gangs, diagnosing those gang prisoners as having mental illness, and transferring them from prison to Arkham Asylum to gain more freedom and protection.
However, Klein did not completely obey Carmine. There was a more mysterious organization behind him.
Bruce Wayne's sudden return directly expressed to the company that he had no intention of fighting for power and profit, and just wanted to check in with the Applied Science Department.
The Applied Science Department is run by Fox. This department is an unpopular part of the Wayne Group and has been neglected for many years. But it was here that Bruce Wayne began the research and development of his own Batman equipment.
Although the pace of the story is obviously super fast, here, Wayne still spends a lot of space introducing the black technology of Batman's equipment. There are two purposes. One of them is definitely to attract the audience. Fans are interested in these cool equipment. It has always been full of enthusiasm, and some people will even buy tickets to watch the film repeatedly in order to study these equipments.
Another purpose is peripherals. When Wayne picks up the camera, he is a director, but when he puts down the camera, he is a capitalist who puts profits first. Warner Bros. still has his shares. The real profit of the film will always be these extremely expensive ones. Low-priced but very expensive peripherals.
As long as "Batman Begins" does well at the box office, there's no need to worry about no one paying for these things.
Unlike the films of previous years, the properties of this film are naturally suitable for the development of enough derivatives.
Moreover, Warner Bros. faced a production cost of 120 million, and invested without any hesitation or doubt. Wayne also has to be responsible to the production company, so that shareholders feel that investing in his film is absolutely the right thing, and prepares the future for more Large investment in production to lay a solid foundation.
Even just thinking about it, he can be sure of one thing. He will definitely shoot Superman, Diana, Aquaman, etc. in the future, and the investment will be absolutely astronomical.
This scene has passed, and at this point, Bruce Wayne's identity has begun to become dual, just like the Wayne mansion on the surface, and the underground is indeed Batman's base.
Sometimes the superheroes of American comics are just like the ridicule of netizens, "The poor rely on mutation, and the rich rely on technology." ’
At this time, Bruce Wayne was a classic wealthy man who developed technological equipment. This equipment also allowed his combat effectiveness to increase exponentially.
In this way, Bruce Wayne became the playboy in the eyes of the world during the day, and turned into the Batman who took care of the evil in Gotham City at night.
In order to test the effectiveness of the primary suit, he first went to find Agent Jim Gordon, and the two parties reached a preliminary alliance. Bruce Wayne believed that Gordon was a trustworthy person, and he also found out about Carmine's gang. Smuggling trade.
So, on a dark and stormy night, when Carmine's gang members were transporting smuggled goods at the dock, Batman went on an official mission for the first time, killing all the gangs including Carmine.
In this scene of Batman dealing with gangsters, Wayne well presented to the audience the meaning of the unknown is the best fear.
The audience follows the gangster's perspective in the light and Batman in the dark, allowing everyone to feel Batman's combat method of blending into the darkness and moving with sound and shadow. Every time he takes action, he kills an enemy neatly and clearly, and his powerful power is undoubtedly revealed.
"Where the hell are you?!"
The roar of the criminals' collapse resounded throughout the theater.
"Here it is!"
When the last gangster turned around, he saw Bruce Wayne lying down. Before he could even scream, he was knocked unconscious.
In the subsequent plot, although Carmine was caught, the police chief ordered that Gotham City's guardian angel be wanted, because for the police, Batman is also full of unknowns.
Being full of unknowns is full of fear, and fear should be controlled or eliminated.
In order to hide his identity, Bruce Wayne spent all his time as a rich man socializing in public places, embracing beautiful women in and out of luxurious places.
This shot of a playboy fully shows that if you have money, you can really do whatever you want. Even if the hotel restaurant does not welcome him, he can still sign a large check and buy the hotel on the spot.
On the other side, after Carmine was caught, he committed suicide to express that he had mental problems, so he summoned Klein to visit, and the visiting place was Arkham Asylum.
But Klein obviously doesn't really want to assist Carmine. The secret organization behind him is planning to destroy Gotham City, and Carmine's arrogant and arrogant criminal behavior has become an obstacle to the secret organization.
So, Klein took out his mask and released a fear-inducing poisonous gas on Carmine, turning Carmine into a real psychopath.
At this time, Klein's true identity also appeared. He was the famous DC villain Scarecrow.
"scarecrow!"
"I knew he was not simple."
Whispering appeared in the theater for the first time. Fans who could come here were relatively familiar with the comics. After all, Scarecrow was by no means an unknown villain.
In the comics, Scarecrow is one of Batman's greatest enemies. He has high achievements in the field of chemistry and has dedicated his life to studying the deepest fears in people's hearts. The fear gas in the film is his masterpiece.
He simply enjoys spreading fear and is addicted to it. His mask, the scarecrow mask, was also specially designed by Wayne based on people's uncanny valley effect and frightening effect.
Putting aside everything else, I will just say that all the props appearing in this film are well designed and made to be convincing. This is the benefit of starting preparations a year in advance.
