Vol 2 Chapter 541: Batman's Rebirth

"This movie is mainly about the process of Wayne growing up. What impressed me was not that he saved the city as Batman in the future, but that he learned fighting swordsmanship on the top of the snow mountain and the process of overcoming fear."
Out of the theater, Brad Miller is still discussing the "Batman: Hour of War" that has just been watched with Norman Shearer, who has just met. "A good movie can arouse thoughts and resonance every minute, often in an instant. The shots and lines of the movie can also arouse people's passion or emotional resonance. The movies that can achieve this are undoubtedly good movies, and this one is no exception.
The two seemed to be talking very speculatively. They talked and walked towards a nearby bar. Norman Shearer also expressed his own views, "Actually, some of Henry Ducard’s words are very reasonable, such as overcoming fear. The only way is to face fear directly. People are always afraid of things they don’t know or understand. We often instinctively reject those choices that are not in line with the mainstream, and are afraid to try areas that we don’t know before, because we are always afraid of change. I am afraid that my life after the change will not be as good as it is now, so I often deceive myself, keep myself safe, and live like this."
When entering the bar, Brad Miller answered, "So, after watching "Batman: Hour of War", I think life without risk is sometimes too boring."
⊥,
"Christian Bale is also a good actor, especially in the eyes." Norman Shearer said again, "His face is both righteous and evil, especially suitable for a role that struggles with his heart."
"Yeah." Brad Miller fully agreed with him. "Duke is not only good at making movies, but also very good at choosing actors."
In the temporary news room of the theater, the crew brought by Duke is still being interviewed. There are already many fans using the Internet, a media medium that responds quickly. Announced his views on the film, especially on imdb, many fans with many years of watching movies have left messages in the comment box of "Batman: Hour of War".
"In "Batman: Hour of War", director Duke Rosenberg groundbreakingly described Batman as a mortal, and also deeply explored the relationship between human fear, anger and power. As well as the characteristics and associations of the characters, people have a clear and incomparable understanding of the origins of the main characters and their concepts and positions, laying the groundwork for their destiny and choices in the subsequent two works."
"As a reboot, it explains the origins of Batman, why he became Batman, and how he became Batman. In terms of the play, this movie seems to interpret his resume or his growth. Track."
"Duke has shaped the city of Gotham City into a dark city with crime and corruption. At the same time, with high technology and ubiquity, this city has reached the lowest point of the social bottom line. It breeds infinite fear in the heart , And fear is the core of this movie."
His views have also been recognized by other fans.
"Indeed, there has never been a movie that can borrow a movie to illustrate the relationship between fear, anger and power like Duke."
"Anger comes from fear, and anger produces power. This power can create evil, and it can also fight against evil. It is an individual or partial confrontation. When the evil power exceeds the law, it needs to be recovered by the power of justice. The power of justice also transcends the law. After the elimination of the evil force, it is easy to become an evil force. This question is unsolvable, because after all, this power comes from fear. Fear is human instinct. As long as people are there, power is always fighting. Fortunately, people are always It’s dying. It’s bad. Humans always exist. Let’s believe in the law to make humans exist better and longer."
Just like the analysis of "The Matrix", everyone will always have a different understanding of the movie. Some even go far beyond what the screenwriter and director had imagined.
With the end of the premiere, more and more Duke fans entered imdb. Although this is not a typical Duke-style film, these people also think the film is wonderful enough.
"This is the best Batman movie. The visual and spiritual impact is so exciting. It can be regarded as a model of action movies. Duke has given Batman a new life on the big screen!"
""Batman: Hour of War" is really amazing. Although it is a lot more depressing according to the average superhero movie, this is where the film shines. Duke shoots a completely different superhero movie. ."
"The film provides a complete and substantial narrative of the reasons why Bruce Wayne became Batman. From self-doubt to tempering to regaining justice, the whole process was completed in one go, and the characters' inner emotions are also real and rich. The excellent series begins. As for the movie, this Batman is the most charming."
"Duke’s Batman jumped out of the increasingly conventional status quo of Hollywood hero movies. The scenes and momentum are grand and magnificent, the characters are rich and full, and the storyline is more exciting and delicate-from the script, photography, editing, scene scheduling, characters From different perspectives, such as music, props, etc., this film can be regarded as a new benchmark for entertainment blockbusters. To a certain extent, Duke has once again raised the level of commercial films to a new level, which may be bad news for its film peers. , But it’s definitely good news for the audience!"
Of course, some people like a movie, and some people don’t like it. What's more, "Batman: Hour of War" is impossible to compare with the Lord of the Rings trilogy. Duke wants to explain clearly how Bruce Wayne became Batman. It will inevitably use a lot of literary drama and space, which is somewhat insufficient for some avid action movie fans.
"The birth of Batman not only explained the background of Batman itself, the story is relatively normal, but because Duke broke the traditional hero model, it is also very rare for this movie to be deeply rooted. But the biggest problem with the film is that it is compared with the previous movies. , The pace is slow, and too much attention is paid to exploring Bruce Wayne’s psychological transformation process, resulting in insufficient action scenes. Except for the Batmobile chase scene and the final battle between good and evil, Duke has almost no advantage in action and science fiction films. Space to show."
"The second half of the film is okay, exciting and exciting enough, but the first half is too dull, and the scenes switch back and forth, which makes it a little difficult to understand. This part is not easy to like."
Simple movies are the ones that can run the world. The more complex the movies, the narrower their circulation.
Duke knows this very well, so the excavation of Bruce Wayne's so-called inner world, but only to stop, as long as Batman can find himself, that is enough, there is no need to dig deeper in this area. That way, it’s not a commercial film, but a niche literary film.
Even the former director of the cut film, Christopher Nolan, the trilogy directed by it is still a standard commercial blockbuster.
No matter who it is, he will not be stupid enough to spend hundreds of millions of dollars to shoot niche literary films.
At the end of the press conference, Duke did not leave the theater immediately. Instead, he walked to a lounge and prepared to wait for a while. After all, there were a large number of media reporters outside. It is better to wait for Christian Bell and others to attract some people away before leaving and returning to the hotel.
Sitting on a high-back chair, Duke asked the female assistant who came in with him, "Tina, is there any media hype about the Hathaway incident?"
Tina Fei sat next to him and replied, "Fox and Disney’s media have been chasing after her. Although Anne Hathaway was released on bail, she changed the tone of some media after the press conference. It is indeed involved, and it is difficult for us to completely separate it."
"Remember to inform her public relations and agent," Duke said, "Let Hathaway speak less. If a reporter asks about this issue, crying is the best way to deal with it. This is also for her. No difficulty."
"Hmm..." Tina Fei noted in the work log, "I will emphasize it to her agent again after returning to the hotel."
As Duke's agent, no one will ignore Tina Fei's words, she has gradually become a heavyweight in Hollywood.
It is no exaggeration to say that as long as Duke's support, Tina Fei can be ranked in the list of powerful figures in Hollywood.
A soft knock on the door suddenly sounded, Tina Fei went over and opened the door, Irene Lauder and Scarlett Johansson walked in together.
"Hi, Duke."
Scarlett greeted him very carefully, Duke nodded to her, and Irene Lauder on the other side walked over, hugged him gently, and said, "Congratulations, another one A successful series of movies is about to be born."
"This is just the premiere."
In front of his friends, Duke rarely said a few words of humility, "It's hard to tell the market reaction behind."
"My dear, I have watched your movies for more than ten years." Irene Lauder smiled lightly, "I still have some understanding of the market reaction of your movies."
Scarlett Johansson interrupted suddenly, "Duke, you have given Batman a new life."
Duke just smiled and didn't say much. After all, the fierce competition in the summer file is here. Although he is confident, he can't guarantee anything.
In the relatively mature film market in North America, the box office is ultimately determined by the market and audience, and will not change with personal will.
Just like the social situation, there are many elements that affect the success or failure of a movie. Movies never succeed if they want to succeed.
After waiting for about forty minutes, Duke and the other three left the theater by car and returned to the hotel where they were staying.
The premiere is completely over, but for many fans, this movie night has just begun. (To be continued...)
