Five Hundred and Thirty-Three-Because, He Is the Dark Knight!

As Schroeder imagined, the movie did not end there. Although the Joker was arrested and taken to the police station, Harvey disappeared after getting into the police car escorted by Gordon's men.

Where did Harvey end up? Perhaps only the clown knows this answer, and it is obviously not an easy task to pry the clown's mouth open.

In the police station, Batman and the Joker sat face to face for the first time, and the Joker introduced his great criminal philosophy to Batman for the first time, because he and Batman are actually the same type of person, that is, ordinary people. Freaks in human eyes.

In the hearts of ordinary people, the so-called conscience and morality will lose their bottom line at the critical moment of life and death. Those who want to be good people are just because they have not reached the edge of necessity, but when everything falls apart, you just give them a gentle push and those so-called good people will lose their idea of ​​kindness.

Therefore, this world is like a joke, so why should it be so serious? It may seem like crazy talk, but in fact the clown has seen everything from his own perspective.

The clown's craziness in committing crimes is not for money and other crimes at all. He just wants the city to burn and turn into chaos. What if, in the same way, Batman was given a push?

"Where is Harvey?" Bruce Wayne in the movie couldn't bear it anymore. He lifted the clown up from the chair with both hands, and his questioning voice was filled with anger.

On the other hand, the Joker seemed like a puddle of mud, being held calmly in Batman's hands, with the absurdity still in his tone. "You have always adhered to your principles, thinking you can save yourself in this way?"

"I only have one principle! (No killing)"

"Oh, then it seems you have to break this principle to know the answer!"

"What's the truth?"

"The best way to survive is to have no principles." The Joker's voice was full of comedy. Even if he was pressed against the wall by Batman, his mood never changed. "Tonight, you will break your only principle!"

"I'm thinking about it."

"No, there is only the last minute left, you have to follow my rules! If you want to rescue any of them."

"one?!"

"You know what? I thought you were really Harvey for a while, until you jumped out of the window to meet Rachel..."

The angry Batman swung the Joker around in the air and slapped him on the table. The clown laughed full of sarcasm. Faced with Batman's violent methods, he continued to use words to stimulate him. "Does Harvey know that his little girlfriend has been having an affair with you?"

"Where are they?" Batman yelled angrily when faced with the Joker's indifference.

"Killing is one of the choices! You can only choose one of the two lives. Is it your good prosecutor friend? Or is it your beautiful prosecutor bride-to-be?"

"Ha, ah!" Batman punched the Joker in the face one after another.

But all he got in exchange was the clown's more unbridled laughter.

"Hahahahahaha, yo ho, hahaha. You don't have any leverage to threaten me! Even if you use more strength, it will be useless."

Saying nothing was obviously not in line with the Joker's preparation for the game. In the end, he gave Batman two addresses, where Harvey and Rachel were held respectively. Batman ran to Rachel's address without hesitation, but waited His is Harvey!

"Hurry up, hurry up, hurry up..."

Schroeder heard many spectators around him murmuring, cheering for Batman on the big screen and worrying for Batman. He laughed and shook his head, focusing all his attention on the big screen again. .

"F**k, your expressiveness in this scene is definitely Oscar-level!"

In the main venue of the premiere, Sofia Coppola turned her head excitedly, stretched out her arm, and nudged the man next to her with her elbow. "Nicholas, damn, I didn't expect you to be able to express yourself like this! You made the right choice this time. Oh my God, the charm of this character is really unparalleled."

Nicolas Cage frowned and first observed the reactions of other people around him. Seeing that everyone, including the crew and creators, were concentrating on watching the movie, he tried to lower his voice as much as possible and said: "Hey, hey, don't get excited. , I swear, there is a place to perform better later.”

"Oscar-level expression." Sofia Coppola sincerely praised her. She is now very lucky to be a female companion and accompany her to attend this premiere. This is a movie that has already been watched even if she hasn't finished watching it. Let her identify great videos.

"What you strive for is right. The hard work of locking yourself in a small room for several months is all worth it. Working with Wayne Greenberg again will make you better than your performance in "Joker" that year. .”

As she spoke, she turned her head and looked towards the middle of the seat. "Is he really that good at training actors?..."

At first, he was no longer prepared to pay attention to the woman next to him. When Nicolas Cage wanted to continue watching the movie, he heard the other party's muttering, and his face instantly became uncertain. "Damn it, I've said it more than once, my acting skills don't need anyone to train me!"

"ok! ok!"

Sofia Coppola's eyes rolled twice quickly, and she suddenly bent her upper body to her side, lying next to his ear and asking: "You know my situation well. Those people only criticize my acting skills, Razzie." ..., So, can you think of a way to put me on Wayne Greenberg's crew without the position of assistant director, even as an assistant director?"

Upon hearing his cousin's thoughts, Nicolas Cage's eyes froze, and he turned his head in surprise, ignoring the movie that continued to play, and growled in her ear. "Are you crazy? You should know your father's attitude towards Wayne. He has never liked Wayne's shooting style. Damn it, you don't think your father is willing to give him the award with his own hands, right?" "I already You're an adult, Nicholas!" Sofia Coppola curled her lips and said seriously: "But my father has never denied Wayne's greatness. No matter how much he doesn't like it, it won't harm the other person's success. He can blend in with a successful person. My father won’t object to learning from people around me. Well, just tell me, is there any way to get him into his team?”

Recalling the configuration of the behind-the-scenes team around Wayne, Nicolas Cage sighed. Which of those people is not a good player in Hollywood? If you want to work with them, you don't have to have a good father.

As an actor, the most you can do is to be awarded a Golden Raspberry. Because of Francis Ford Coppola's status in the industry, at least there will be no shortage of work, right? But learning to be a behind-the-scenes director or producer is completely different from being an actor.

"Tomorrow I will start a promotional tour with the crew. On the way, I will find an opportunity to talk to Wayne and see if I can get you an assistant director position."

Seeing the brighter and brighter light in his cousin's eyes, Nicolas Cage raised his arm, stretched out a finger and shook it. "There's no guarantee that it will succeed. Assistant, don't even think about it. The woman next to Wayne is a monster. Yes, that woman is not beautiful at all. Don't underestimate her. That's it. Now, watch the movie. "

Sofia Coppola looked at the middle seat thoughtfully, nodded silently, and looked at the big screen again.

At this time, Batman on the big screen was experiencing grief. He successfully rescued Harvey, but the bomb still exploded and Rachel died. The clown was caught on purpose and gave the wrong address on purpose. All of this was a trap deliberately set up by the clown.

He only used a few magazines and a few oil drums to completely control the process of the game. Even Batman made a wrong decision under the Joker's calculations. But this incorrect decision allowed him to save the right person.

The Bright Knight of Gotham City was bombed to half death, but his childhood sweetheart left this chaotic world forever. Now, Bruce Wayne puts on the mask, but it can only bring death. When he takes off his mask, he loses the person waiting for him.

Harvey, who was rescued on the other side, was lying alone in the hospital. Half of his face was shattered by the blast, but he refused any treatment. The pain in his chest could not cover up his broken heart. If the clown hadn't caused trouble, if Gordon had listened to himself, if justice could have had a little effect...

Harvey's heart was already shaking. At this moment, the Joker appeared at Harvey's bedside and once again used his "gentle push" method to instill his own ideas into Harvey. The Joker's "gentle push" made Harvey give up his insistence on order and justice, and the whole person disappeared without a trace.

"He's a two-faced person."

"So this is how Two-Face is set up!"

Countless movie fans had the feeling of a sudden realization. After more than half of the film, Two-Face has truly entered the eyes of the audience, which also gave Harvey a reason to choose to become Two-Face.

But Officer Gordon and Batman have no time to find Harvey's whereabouts. The Joker has officially issued a death threat to the entire city. As long as you take the road and the bridge, there will be special surprises. Gotham citizens have no choice but to rush in. Entering the port, I wanted to escape this place of death by boat.

What is unexpected is that another game of the clown that tests humanity is actually arranged on a ship. He installed a bomb on two ships filled with citizens and criminals, and on each ship, there is another The ship's detonation remote control.

If one of the ships does not explode before twelve o'clock in the evening, the clown will detonate both ships at the same time and take everyone to see God.

"Wow, the time to test humanity has arrived!"

This kind of plot arrangement shocked the film critic David Denbigh, who was far away in New York. He immediately sat up straight with his upper body and his eyes fixed on the development of the story on the big screen. "Shit, such a great test of human nature is to break open the ugliness in human nature, Chi Luoluo, and show it to the audience. Wayne, this is a PG13-level film, and countless children will watch it. , what do you want to do? You dark madman..."

Yes, although this "The Dark Knight" is suspected of having too many violent scenes, there are no excessively exposed scenes or bloody scenes. Even the foul language that was common in the previous film has become very rare. This This also allowed the film to successfully pass the MPAA review and successfully receive a pg13 rating.

But in the eyes of these professional film critics, such a plot arrangement is far more excessive in terms of darkness than some nudity and bloody scenes. Just like David Denbigh at this moment, his first feeling was that Wayne was using The movie plays with the darkness of human nature.

In fact, such a shot that is full of tests of human nature is what some of them see as art, and it really pokes David Denbigh's g-spot. Even though he has seen an internal preview, this is already the second time. After watching the video, I can still feel the shivers running through my body.

However, when he thought about the outcome of the film, he slowly relaxed his tense nerves, picked up the notebook on his lap and smiled bitterly. He himself did not expect that even for the second time, he, a so-called professional, Even after watching the film, you will still fall into the rhythm of the story unconsciously.

"Rhythm!"

Glancing at the fans around him who were intently watching the movie, he wrote down the word rhythm in his notebook.

"What would you choose?"

In the Beverly Emperor chain of theaters in Los Angeles, Steven Spielberg muttered to himself involuntarily, then shook his head vigorously, and looked at each other with the old guy next to him, and they both saw it in each other's eyes. Shocked. "From the analysis of the child's past works, he might actually let two ships explode each other to show the deepest understanding of human nature!" The good Jewish man frowned and watched the unfolding plot on the big screen. , the tone was full of uncertainty.

"No, Steven."

After Jeffrey Katzenberg broke away from the rhythm of the film, he shook his head slightly, and the corners of his mouth began to slowly rise. "Want to make a bet? Man. You know, I haven't seen a few Wayne Greenberg movies, but I bet he wouldn't arrange it like that. How about a golf weekend for the loser?"

"It's a bet."

Steven Spielberg nodded and accepted the bet without hesitation. With his understanding of Wayne, it was indeed very possible to make the darkness in the film darken to the end. That young director is not a pure commercial film director at all. He has very high artistic pursuits.

It’s hard to say that this time the other party will bow to the demands of business and fans. As long as these two ships are prone to explosion, this scene in this film will definitely be firmly recorded in film history, and may even become a Textbook in film schools.

"Crash!"

"Well done!"

The result came quickly. In the end, no one on the two ships pressed the detonator button. This was the first time in the film that the clown failed the great test of humanity.

Almost the entire audience applauded involuntarily. Their applause was not only dedicated to this wonderful movie, but also to the kindness in human nature. Isn't it worth celebrating that so many people on the two ships did not expose the ugliest side of human nature when they were in despair?

"Huh~"

Steven Spielberg also clapped along. He turned his head, looked at his companions in confusion, and asked: "How do you know that these two ships will not explode? With Wayne's previous rich dark style Basically, these two ships must be blown up to push the audience's emotions to the peak."

"My idea is simple."

Jeffrey Katzenberg smiled happily and explained: "Don't think too complicated about that kid. You have been deceived by the ubiquitous top style of this film. After all, he is not a literary film director and will never take risks." At the risk of blowing up the audience's favor, he went to blow up those two ships. It's true that I haven't seen many films directed by him, but judging from his past commercial performance, he has a very clear positioning of the market. That is a man with a consistent mind. Stay calm man.”

There is another point that he did not say, that is, he has only watched "Joker" and "Joker". Yes, Wayne's shooting style is indeed rich and dark, but if you look carefully, the films he shot are It won't be so dark that it makes people despair, and it will always leave a little bit of beautiful things for the audience to savor.

Also, if you look at Wayne's previous commercial achievements, you will find that he seems to know what the audience wants. Yes, he does continue to play with human nature in the film, but he does not deviate from the bottom line of public tolerance. The ability to grasp the positioning and psychological changes of the characters in the film is top-notch.

This arrangement does fall into the traditional Hollywood clichés, but the audience likes to watch such sensational scenes of truth, goodness and beauty. This is a routine that Hollywood has used for decades, and it has its inevitable reason.

"It is precisely because of the darkness and depression in the front that the beautiful side of human nature is shown here, which makes it so infectious!" Steven Spielberg's expression was quite serious, and the surrounding audience had stopped applauding. , the theater became quiet again, and everyone was waiting for the final ending of the film.

Compared with the performance of "The Dark Knight" so far, he is no longer so confident in the chances of winning "Jurassic Park 2". Perhaps the only advantage I have now is that the whole family can enjoy it.

On the big screen, the film has come to an end. The Joker lost the big test of the city's will and humanity. In physical combat, he was instantly killed by Batman. This is the only place where Wayne made a change. That is how powerful Batman is, which is a visible improvement compared to the first film.

But this does not affect the overall plot, it is simply paving the way for future plans. The clown did lose in these two aspects, but he still has one last trump card that he has not revealed, that is, he has been instilled with ideas. Two-Face, Harvey.

The former Light Knight of Gotham City is holding a revolver and coins to find every police mole and gang leader involved in Rachel's death one by one, and decide the life or death of each other by tossing coins.

The Joker did not lose in this regard. He proved his concept that even a righteous knight of light like Harvey can still fall with his own "gentle push".

Harvey's final trial subjects were Sheriff Gordon and Batman. At this moment, he no longer had order and law in his mind. The basis for his trial was the two sides of the coin, yes, luck.

In the end, Harvey chose to let Sheriff Gordon's son accept punishment so that he could experience the feeling of losing a loved one, but before the coin hit the ground, Batman threw Harvey down and saved the child. The coin also hit the ground at this time, heads, Harvey lost, so he died.

His lawsuits for justice, everything he fought for justice, also disappeared with death. The Joker won. He used fear to push everyone to the edge of good and evil with a slight push, thereby disrupting Gotham's order and plunging the metropolis into chaos again.

He destroyed Harvey, Gotham's hope for justice. At the same time, it also allowed Bruce Wayne to see a truer version of himself and the greatest sacrifice he could make for the city. But as a hero, he must bear more, for Gotham and for the ideal of justice, so he decided to resist. Of all the sins, he killed Harvey and everyone. Batman and the Joker, justice and disorder, two sides of the same coin, a great showdown. In the end, Bruce Wayne escaped into the darkness. , Batman, who chose to bear everything, finally became the knight in the dark!

Looking at Batman disappearing into the night, the childish voice of Commissioner Gordon's son echoed through the cinema at this time. "Why did he run away? Dad?"

"Because we have to hunt him down!"

Along with Chief Gordon's low answer, the background music in the movie is about to reach its peak. It is full of spiritual provocation and epic music. Together with Chief Gordon's narration, it rings in the ears of all viewers. .

"Okay, let's rush over, go! go!"

On the big screen, there were a large number of police officers leading police dogs, chasing Batman. The scenes made all the viewers have ambiguous emotions in their eyes. The eyes of some female fans were already filled with tears.

"But he didn't do anything wrong?" Gordon's son asked his father again in a childish voice.

"Because he is the hero Gotham should have! But he is not the hero we need now! So, we have to hunt him down."

"Because he can withstand this! Because he is not our hero, because he is a silent guardian! A vigilant guardian!"

"Because, he is a Dark Knight!!!"

Along with Commissioner Gordon's final narration, the background music like a dark opera also reached its highest level. The Dark Knight rode his mount, turned his back to everyone and drove towards his darkness. This is the end of the movie. ending.

The big screen suddenly went dark, and the entire auditorium was plunged into darkness. Before the big screen could light up again, applause like a mountain roaring and a tsunami immediately began!

"Oh my God, Wayne, what have we done? This is a great movie! You know what? Great!"

The moment the applause started, producer Charles Rowan immediately rushed over and hugged Wayne, screaming in his ear with all his strength. Naomi Watts, Nina and others also followed suit. The audience applauded violently and clapped their hands together to congratulate the man.

The fierce applause seemed to have no intention of stopping at all. The celebrities who came to stand for the premiere also stood up excitedly and clapped along with the fans screaming.

No one cared about the subtitles on the big screen at all. Everyone's attention was focused on the middle of the first row under the curtain, even if all they could see now was darkness.

"Wayne may become a god again this time!"

Tom Cruise, who had kept a low profile from the beginning, whispered to Pat Kingsley next to him: "This movie is so special, indescribably special! This movie has completely surpassed superheroes." The scope, concepts, themes, depiction of human nature, and even the commercial elements that are most lacking in this type of film have been achieved to the extreme!"

Pat Kingsley tried to get close to his client and said in his ear: "Tom! Sometimes it's not impossible to change your image and take on a superhero movie..."

This film is really so special. She is a very discerning agent. She seems to have seen the two leading actors, Christian Bale and Nicolas Cage, being worshiped by fans all over the world. Such a film A great work that has greatly improved the actor's status.

"I will find a chance to talk to Wayne in the future..."

Tom Cruise was mid-sentence when he suddenly realized something was wrong. Hearing the applause from around him, he said in surprise: "Damn it, why don't you turn on the lights?!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the scrolling subtitles on the big screen came to an end and returned to darkness again. Two seconds later, an incredible Easter egg in the film appeared in front of everyone!
