Vol 2 Chapter 539: Leave early

In Duke’s "Batman: Hour of War", the differences between Henry Ducard and Bruce Wayne are more derived from differences in ideas, or ideological differences. , And ideological issues are often irreconcilable contradictions, especially when dealing with the fallen city of Gotham.
Henry Ducard inherited the consistent purpose of the Kagemusha Alliance, believing that evil can only be eliminated and order needs to be rebuilt on this basis.
But Bruce Wayne believes that Gotham City is still saved. Although he has become the embodiment of fear, he is not a law enforcement officer, let alone any person or force, to deal with criminals at will.
Batman also formed a basic principle-don't kill.
This principle can restrain Bruce Wayne's power transformed from anger and fear, thereby limiting the problem of violence hidden deep in his heart, and it can also become a kind of imprisonment.
There are always two sides to everything.
Therefore, a billionaire is a during the day, and the embodiment of fear and justice at night. He seeks justice one by one from the culprits who destroyed the city, including the desire to destroy the evil city of Gotham. Henry Ducard and the Kagemusha Alliance.
Norman Shearer and Brad Miller ≧↑, just like other audiences in the theater, staring at the big screen intently. In their hearts, this "Batman: Hour of War" is the most peak of Duke so far. The work "The Lord of the Rings: Return of the King" undoubtedly has a certain gap, but it is undoubtedly the most outstanding work in the Batman series.
Among them are not only plot settings, but also various props in the film.
Unlike the four Batman in the 1990s, Bruce Wayne uses tools that are not too exaggerated and sci-fi. They are closer to reality, even the Batmobile. It also shows more wildness and power.
Watching the batmobile on the screen rampage, whether it is on the road or on the roof, it is like walking on the ground, and with its muscular shape, there are a lot of cool sounds in the theater.
"This is the Batmobile for Bruce Wayne."
Even the older Brad Miller expressed such emotions.
Norman Hiller echoed his words. Said, "I really want to have such a car, this is the Batmobile!"
From the publicity before the film was released, Norman Miller knew that the Batmobile would be on the market after the film was released, but the minimum price of more than $100,000 was not something he could afford.
"Why did Duke choose this style of Batmobile?"
Irene Lauder frowned and asked in a solitary way. Scarlett Johansson, an industry insider next to him, explained in a low voice, "The action style of the film. It follows the route of wild power. The Batmobile must conform to Bruce Wayne's style design."
"It's true." Irene Lauder nodded.
It would be awkward to design the Batmobile as a sports car according to the fighting style of Bruce Wayne in the film.
In the classic theaters of Chicago, "Batman: Hour of War" has reached the final stage of battle, and the premiere screening of "Kings of Heaven" in Los Angeles has just begun because of the time difference.
Clichy became a fan of epic movies by watching The Lord of the Rings. Also sat in the premiere theater of "The Kingdom of Heaven".
He once led a protest against Duke's adaptation of the Lord of the Rings trilogy, but the trilogy was powerful and exciting. Directly converted him into a fan of Duke, but deep down in his heart, he likes epic movies more. Although the Lord of the Rings watched a series of bad epic movies such as "King Arthur" and "Alexander the Great", he still has a lot of love for "Have great interest.
Therefore, instead of choosing the premiere of "Batman: Hour of War" far away in Chicago, he participated in the premiere of "Kings of Heaven" in Los Angeles.
just. This film is not much better than the recognized bad movies like "King Arthur" and "Alexander the Great". After less than a quarter of it was seen, Clichy yawned continuously.
If it's just himself, it might be a matter of personal appreciation, but Klich's eyes are everywhere. Most of the audience's attention was not fully focused on the film. Some people were eating popcorn, some were drinking Coke, some were stretching, some were whispering, and a few even closed their eyes and seemed to fall asleep.
As the screening progressed, Clichy became more and more boring.
In many places in the film, traces of imitating the Lord of the Rings trilogy can be seen. This is understandable. After all, after Duke’s Lord of the Rings trilogy, almost all epic war films imitated him, but the imitation of "The Kingdom of Heaven" It's really not much success, especially the most important war scenes of this type of film, but the atmosphere looks very chaotic.
Perhaps the real battlefield is chaotic and disorderly, but most viewers, including Clichy, don't want to see that the war in the film is also chaotic and disorderly. Then, what fun is there to watch the movie?
Then there is the actor. Orlando Bloom was popularized by Duke for the role of Legolas, but he left the director who popularized him, and his flaws were exposed.
In Clichy’s view, Orlando Bloom is still suitable for a male vase role like Legolas. It’s a bit of a second time to play the leading actor in this film. If you change to a more manly actor, It’s a true hero, "The Kingdom of Heaven" may be called an epic, rather than a trouble of a young Werther.
Even under the performance of other actors that are not wonderful, he is a waning moon among the stars.
Not to mention other things, just in the choice of actors, you can see the gap between Ridley Scott and Duke.
This is really a painful experience of watching movies.
Clichy confirmed this without hesitation, and the best way to end this pain is undoubtedly to stay away.
Although the screening was not over yet, even though it took a lot of effort to get the admission ticket for the premiere, Clichy decided not to bear it anymore. This kind of boring movie was not worth it.
"Sorry……"
He stood up with his waist down, "Can you let me pass?"
The man glanced at Clichy suspiciously, and suddenly asked, "Are you leaving the field?"
Hearing what he said, Clichy nodded slightly, the man did not let go, but stood up like him.
"I want to leave," he said.
Just as this person's voice just fell, several people around stood up one after another, followed in Clichy's footsteps, and walked out along the passage, obviously not interested in continuing to watch.
Entering the corridor leading to the exit, with the help of the bright light on the screen, Clichy discovered that it was not just them who had exited the stage. In the places where other ordinary audiences were sitting, there were also many people walking forward and backward, even Some positions in the back row were completely empty, and it was obvious that someone had left the field earlier.
Shaking his head, even if he is not a professional, Clichy can faintly guess that this epic war film called "The Kingdom of Heaven" is probably not much better than the end of "King Arthur" and "Alexander the Great."
Besides...
When he walked out of the theater, he couldn't help but glance to the east. In the far away Chicago, Duke's film was premiered. Twentieth Century Fox and Ridley Scott actually took such a film, and "Batman: Hour of War" collides, the odds of winning are really infinitely low.
Although the Batman series is terrible, but in the hearts of fans of Duke movies like Clichy, "Batman: Hour of War" is no worse than the "Kings of Heaven" that I just watched.
After the Lord of the Rings trilogy fell in love with the director of Duke's style, Clichy has watched all his movies, even the worst response of them, "One Hundred Thousand Urgent", is several times more exciting than "Kings of Heaven".
Withdrawing his gaze to the east, a few people who had left the field passed by him, and the voices of these people's discussions inevitably reached Klich's ears.
"What kind of is this."
"If there were no trilogy of the Lord of the Rings, perhaps this film could be called an epic..."
"Fortunately, I fell asleep bored in less than ten minutes after watching the movie."
"Orlando Bloom left Duke and his performance was really horrible."
More and more people came out of the theater. Clichy stood here for only a few minutes, and more than 20 people came out one after another. For the premiere of an epic blockbuster with an investment of more than 100 million US dollars, this It's really unimaginable.
In the theater, Ridley Scott's face was blue. Even if he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he listened to the people next to him talking about what happened in the ordinary auditorium in the back row. For a well-known director, it was almost a kind of insult.
It was such an embarrassing scene for dozens or even hundreds of spectators to exit at the premiere.
He originally wanted to use this epic masterpiece to compete with the director at the top level in the industry, but this contest has not really started yet, and he might be defeated.
Willing? Of course not reconciled.
Ridley Scott couldn't help turning his head to look at the place where the executives of 20th Century Fox were sitting. If it weren't for them, how could "Kings of Heaven" become what it is now? It became a story almost different from what I imagined...
But he knows that there is no way to be unwilling. How can a mere director resist the system of the entire Hollywood industry?
Throughout Hollywood, the directors who can get the final editing rights in each of their films can count them with one hand, and Duke Rosenberg is undoubtedly one of them.
There is a gap between himself and him after all!
Ridley Scott has to admit this, whether it is status, work or box office, he and Duke Rosenberg are not at all a level director. (To be continued...)
