Vol 2 Chapter 523: Guide Bell

These trilogy will inevitably weaken Batman’s ability, which may cause some people to dislike it, but compared to its four "predecessors", Batman stepped down from the altar and became a man of flesh and blood. Can make up for the biggest shortcoming of many dc superheroes-too high.
The era that belonged to Superman and Batman was over, and nowadays, if you want to succeed in movies, you must close the distance with the audience.
In this respect, DC's relatively cold superhero is not wronged at all to lose to Marvel's more down-to-earth superhero.
In Duke's setting, Batman does not possess the same superpowers as other superheroes.
Compared with others, he is more like an ordinary person, an ordinary person who has learned ninjutsu and possesses high technology. This seems closer to reality, and can give people the feeling that a superhero is around. The criminals, master ninjas, rely on ninjutsu and technology, the scarecrows rely on medicine, and the clown and Bain rely on naked threats and force, which can also give people a kind of "Will these criminals appear in my life?" The illusion of "in".
Following this, it will bring a feeling of "Can I be Batman".
Perhaps for other movies, the sense of substitution does not matter, but for superhero movies, it is very important.
∝, not only the characters are realistic and realistic, but the city of Gotham is also true. Darkness, corruption, murder, and crime cover the city of Gotham. Such a city is just right to match such a superhero to strip off the crime. The naked show to the audience makes people feel that this is not science fiction or fantasy, but the reality before it.
Compared to action scenes, Christian Bell's performance is really bad. After nearly ten times, this not-so-complicated scene was filmed, and Duke could see it. He has some problems with Bruce Wayne's psychological grasp, and obviously doesn't pay enough attention to this superhero role.
This is not to say that Christian Bale is not dedicated enough. His work attitude is actually very serious. The problem is that he only regards Batman as a popular superhero. However, the style of the film is destined to use other superheroes. Acting as Bruce Wayne will definitely not work.
The crew returned to the station car. Duke intends to find time to have a good talk with Bell.
But when he got up for a jog the next morning, Christian Bale took the initiative to approach him in order to exchange roles.
The two walked out of the hotel, standing on a tall rock, looking at the white glacier in the distance, Bell said softly, "I read the script again last night and lay down thinking for a long time. This role is better than I thought. Difficult. To be complicated."
"Don't think of it as a superhero movie." Dukla tightened his collar and covered his ears exposed to the cold wind. "If you treat it as a psychological crime subject, you will find different things."
Christian Bale nodded slightly.
The actor took the initiative to find him, Duke would also give enough guidance, and said, "What do you think the theme of the film reflects?"
Bell thought for a while and said. "Fear, anger, determination and strength."
"That's right." Duke's eyes moved to where the sun was about to rise. "The current Bruce Wayne is more anger and fear."
"What do you think of fear?" he asked.
"From the physiological definition. Fear is an emotional experience of an organism trying to get rid of and evading a certain situation but is powerless; it can also express the violent contraction of the biological tissue of the organism; the tissue density increases sharply, and the energy is released sharply."
Hearing Bell, a non-academic actor, said academic views, Duke couldn’t help but smiled and said,
I think fear is a very contradictory phenomenon—the more you are afraid, the more you are afraid. On the contrary, you can get more resistance. Even the power of countermeasures."
Christian Bale showed a look of curiosity, and Duke continued, "In fact, to be honest, I have never agreed that objects that are opposed and incompatible can exist at the same time, but this is indeed a strange phenomenon. The only explanation can be given. Yes. Fear itself can restrain anger, but when anger is stimulated,'fear stimulates power' happens."
"This is the other side of Bruce Wayne's fear-anger! In fact, I think it is fear that brings anger, and anger inspires power."
Duke brought the topic back to the character itself, "Bruce Wayne's initial fear of bats was only because of the image of bats. At this stage, Bruce could not feel the power caused by fear. However, later his parents were killed. Let Bruce’s fear add the color of anger. At this time, Bruce gained his own powerful strength through learning and exercise."
"He is different from his father. After losing the opportunity for revenge, he began to have the courage to challenge the gangs in Gotham City. This was also the beginning of his departure from Gotham City until his return. Until he finally learned to control fear, he became fear itself, he ...Become Batman."
"Christian..." Duke patted his arm. "What you need to do is to highlight Bruce Wayne's fear and anger and determination in the right scene, through the right way of acting!"
"I will do my best." Christian Bale said.
The sun gradually climbed to the horizon, and yesterday’s haze was replaced by today’s clear weather. Duke went down the rock and greeted Bell,
Let’s go to the restaurant and talk while eating.

The two entered the restaurant of the hotel, took a few simple foods, sat at the same table, ate breakfast slowly, and exchanged views on the role at the same time.
Of course, as a director, most of the time, Duke is talking and Christian Bale is listening.
"The film is divided into three parts. "The Hour of War" mainly tells the source of Batman." Duke only ate a little bit and pushed the breakfast plate aside. "In fact, this is Bruce Wayne's fear. , The process of conquering fear and becoming Batman."
"His identity is very special-his family's Wayne Group is a wealthy clan in Gotham City and respected." Christian Bale recalled Bruce Wayne's setting and said while taking over Duke's words. , "According to common sense, Bruce should be a young master in the traditional sense, living his own high society glitzy life, which is what Rachel expected-with a sense of justice, but not intervening in fighting crime."
He thought for a while and said, "He was frightened by bats since he was a child, and his parents were killed by fear. He watched the city that his father had devoted all his efforts to maintain it to fall, and fear and anger occupied him. Heart."
"So, Bruce Wayne's growth can be divided into three stages."
Instructing actors to better understand the role, so as to perform the best state, make the film more outstanding, this is the job of the director Duke, he put up a finger, "the first stage is in his Before the death of his parents, he was panicked because of the fear caused by the bats. At this stage, his father had a great influence on him, and many of his teachings from his father had a great influence on his future actions. "
Speaking of this, Duke raised his second finger, "The second stage is after his parents died. At this stage, he has been using anger to suppress fear. Regret for the fear of his parents’ death, The enemy’s resentment. But obviously, this stage is just like what the ninja master said, "will ruin a life." For example, look at Bruce’s father-killing enemy Qi Li. He is a low-level poor and fears a gangster, but he can only Dare to be angry but dare not speak, and finally anger cannot control the fear of livelihood, which leads to the tragedy of killing Bruce's parents."
He raised his last finger, "So in the third stage, when the enemy was killed by the gangster Fei Kangni, he could not get revenge. After Rachel reminded him, Bruce began to realize that blind anger would only make him. After revenge, he couldn't find a catharsis target and destroyed him, so he began to declare war on Feconi and the others, and went deep into the world of criminals to understand them."
Hearing what Duke said, Christian Bale gradually gained more understanding. He said, "Just like Master Ninja said, what Bruce has always been looking for is not the fear of criminals, but his own fear. What he has always feared is the power in his body, the power he cannot control with anger. Therefore, he embarked on the path of becoming fear itself, becoming Batman, fighting and punishing criminals."
"Understandable," Duke nodded, continuing the topic deeper, and asked, "Bruce overcomes fear and becomes Batman to maintain the peace of Gotham City. So, what is he afraid of?"
"On the surface, Bruce should be afraid of bats. When he was a child, he fell into a bat cave and was frightened by the bat colony. It is precisely because of the association with the bat colony that Bruce indirectly killed his parents. This also became his lingering heart. Shadows to go."
After saying this, Christian Bell found that Duke was still looking at him, as if waiting for the next answer. He organized the language while thinking about the script, and was silent for a while before saying, "I think Bruce is really scared. It’s the powerful force in him."
He said slowly, "In the script, there is a dialogue between his father and him-the more terrifying creatures, the more they are actually afraid. Bruce fears bats, and bats actually fear Bruce. In the final analysis, Bruce fears what happens when he is afraid. Power out."
Seeing Duke’s affirmative eyes, Christian Bale added,
When talking to Henry Ducard about the death of his parents due to fear, Bruce was actually using anger to suppress his power. Then, in Ducard’s With the help, Bruce found a primitive, safe, and symbolic way to use this power correctly and guide this power, that is, to become fear itself to manipulate power, to transfer power, to transfer fear, and to make fear. Power to deal with the people it really needs to deal with. This is to be Batman."
Duke stood up with a smile, and when he walked past Christian Bale, he lightly patted his shoulder, "I look forward to your next performance." (To be continued...)
