In the praise of "Batman Prequel: The Dark Knight", the film review of "Premier" magazine seemed a little exasperated, "There is no place to capture the hearts of the audience, and people are free from the beginning to the end of the plot. In addition. The cumbersome Batman is just a symbol, without real force and wisdom, and no strong decision and ability; a stupid two-faced person, who is easily provoked into darkness, even if it is the evil charm that determines life and death Nor can it compare to the cold-blooded killers of 'No Country for Old Men'; crazy clowns, crime for crime's sake, no characterization, no character emotion, other than running around like a circus clown, it's hard to tell what the clown does what.
The chaotic and complicated story line is constantly interspersed with various unconventional good people playing good people to increase the drama of the work, and the shallow and blunt characters become pale and powerless faces in the heavy and superfluous stories. It can be seen that Nolan is trying hard to create a new form of comic hero movie, but unfortunately, the ambition is too large and the space is too short, so that the whole game is lost. "
There are not many movie reviews that criticize for the sake of criticism like "Premier", because it is an irresponsible manifestation for the magazine. Even though Elliott Carter has always liked to disagree with Evan Bell, he always Is to find a reasonable basis to maintain their professional image. But this time, Elliott Carter was a little overwhelmed.
There was a "premier" standing up, and there were thousands of voices of praise and support.
"Empire" magazine from the UK is the first to bear the brunt, people say that if the US has "movie reviews", then the UK has "Empire". Not because the professionalism and authority of the two are equivalent, but because both of them have the same respect for Evan Bell. Compared with "movie reviews", "Empire" is more respected for Evan Bell, the pride of today's Britain.
"Dark, grim, spooky and dreamy, 'The Dark Knight' is far from 'excellent', it's probably the best and scariest comic book hero movie ever made.
Although it is also directed by Christopher Nolan, "The Dark Knight" is at least two levels better than "Mystery of the Shadow". This sequel marks the full maturity of Nolan's directing style. Just like the importance of 'perfume' to Evan Bell.
Nolan, like Evan, is one of the few directors in Hollywood who has never made a bad movie, one after another, constantly perfecting his skills and reaching the pinnacle. But Nolan and Evan are different. Evan is obsessed with substituting the reactions of characters in the social context into reflections on life. Nolan, on the other hand, is more inclined to delve into negative emotions under the dark side.
In the twenty-four hours after watching the premiere, my brain couldn't think anything, the pictures were as delicate as a picture scroll, and the dialogue was as wonderful as a famous quote. Especially the clown's lines, it is unforgettable for a long time. Evan Bell's gorgeous and terrifying rendition told everyone that he is an excellent actor, enough to go down in history as a peak-level actor. The Joker character deserves an Oscar for himself, or at least a nomination. In the character's dark and creepy humor and its malevolent nature, Evan Bell's performance is far more than a Jack Nicholson classic! This is even more than a performance that Daniel Plevy shocked everyone last year!
'The Dark Knight' is easily the best of all the 'Batman' movies, with great foundation, massive tone, rich script, great characters, deep subtext. pushed the film to its peak.
Christopher Nolan re-introduced Christian Bale, Michael Caine and Morgan Freeman, while Gary Freeman's Gordon and Aaron Eckhart's Dante, both All will do their best to help Batman fight and destroy the criminal organization in Gotham City. The best choice this time around is the use of Maggie Gyllenhaal to play the only female character in the story - a character played very pale by Katie Holmes in 'Mystery of the Shadows' . Of course, Nolan's most outstanding choice is Evan Bell! This has also become the biggest highlight of the "Dark Knight".
Christopher Nolan is clearly wiser than Tim Burton and Joe Schumacher at this point.
The theme of "Mystery of the Shadow" is the birth of Batman. Nolan portrays Bruce Wayne completely in a long and serious story, and makes all the central characters sexual, and the psychologically lengthy ending in the film suggests that the series can be The bright future continues. And this new film fully fulfills that desire.
The theme of "The Dark Knight" is the pull of good and evil, and Batman is trying to change the process of Gotham City. The intertwining of justice and evil, light and darkness, has become the greatest conflict. That 2005 film hinted at the threat of an expanded conflict, as Batman would provoke an even bigger response from the underworld as he hunted down the city's criminal organizations and undermined their interests. In other words, it's the negative effect of his righteous actions in Gotham City, and he's bringing that result to the surface, either intentionally or unintentionally, thereby blurring the line between absolute justice and absolute evil. In the end, this new story is more complex, more morally ambiguous, and has a lot of grey areas that define both 'hero' and 'bad guy'.
Digging into the formation and evolution of identity is a recurring theme in all of Nolan's work, and here it gets a particularly fascinating treatment. Just as Batman sets out to eradicate the crime and corruption that afflicts Gotham City, ironically, the vacuum he creates attracts an even stronger element of crime, who sees it as an opportunity to take over the city's no-mansions. land.
Nolan cleverly flips the relationship and symmetry between the two sides of the hero, like a coin with a bright side and a dark side in the hands of a two-faced person. If 'Mystery of the Shadow' focuses on the origin of the character, how Bruce Wayne evolved from his early wounds, fears, anger into Batman, and resolutely fights crime and corruption; then in 'The Dark Knight', Batman has become a celebrity known to the citizens of the city, although some consider him a hero, others wonder if he's causing more damage than good. The arrival of a new type of crime has raised the stakes in the debate—and across Gotham City, Batman's mission has grown even harder.
Billionaire **** Wayne — with his beautiful cars, beautiful women, and indifferent attitude — is no longer who this man is. While Wayne is putting on a mask to cover up his Batman identity, it is actually Batman that defines Wayne's true identity, and Wayne's public image is a 'mask' that he wants to put on for symbiosis. At first, you may recall. Wayne thinks he can inspire justice in Gotham City and ultimately leave his savior behind. But in the story of "The Dark Knight", his hopes are shattered in the face of harsh reality. The nature of human nature makes the so-called justice worthless in the face of entangled interests, and Wayne inspires justice in Gotham. But in the end, he couldn't win the battle against humanity. So he lost to the Joker, Dante became Two-Face, and he became the Dark Knight.
In The Dark Knight, Nolan recreated two characters. Joker and Two-Face Dante.
The two-faced man Dante is very different from the old version. He is not always a ferocious character. On the contrary, he was originally the incarnation of all the beautiful visions of the people of Gotham City, in stark contrast to the dark criminal forces. Nolan used Rachel, a fictional character not in the comics but fictionalized in the movie. It explained the reason why Wayne's girlfriend changed frequently, and also strengthened the involvement between the two-faced man and Batman, and Rachel became the catalyst for the transformation of the two-faced man.
Dante evolved from a knight of light to a double-faced man, from a perfect hero to a desperate avenger, contrasting with the illogical and irrational crazy schedule of the Joker, and at the same time, it also hits people including Batman. All those who still believe in the existence of perfect heroes force the audience and Batman to think: who can save this desperate world, and whether human beings are so fragile that they can change from angels to demons in an instant. Or do they coexist in the first place?
And the story's most dangerous foe is Batman's notorious feud, the Joker, the mad and ruthless devil. In 'The Dark Knight', the Joker is a totem figure as large as the Dark Knight, the ultimate demon. That presented Nolan with a challenge. To unearth such an utterly evil character with a twisted notion, perhaps following the bad guy tradition of German expressionist cinema, the Joker represents the most extreme form of anarchism. A force born out of chaos, a criminal without a purpose. Not driven by money and greed.
In a very shocking scene in the film, the Joker burns a mountain of gold piled up with cash. As a force of mass destruction, he is truly disturbing, creating something out of nothing. The least expected of him, he was immensely happy because of his murderous nature.
Played by creative actor Evan Bell The Joker is colorful, hateful, and dangerous, delivering wave after wave of climax and excitement. Evan Bell's total devotion, from appearance to body to soul, strives to unearth his multiple influences as a loner in the whole of humanity, his horrific acts that disturb the social order, and how he uses special way to take away the rules, values, morals and humanity of citizens and leave them to deal with themselves.
With a penchant for destroying for the sake of destruction, including later self-destruction, the Joker is a character unbound by any rules, a formidable foe with absolutely no morals, a trait that puts the Joker in direct opposition to Batman, who But there is a very strict moral code to decide what can and cannot be done, which is successfully exploited by the Joker. Under the clown's growing influence, Batman needs to re-examine his philosophy to ensure that while chasing the ultimate monster, he doesn't become tempted to become a monster himself.
Nolan's 'The Dark Knight' asks, 'Where are the boundaries of your fight against evil and corruption, where are the boundaries of having and using power and a desire for power, and what defines some of the other qualities. ' This question is bound to reverberate in people's minds for a long time, and it will also become the most important issue for all comic hero movies in the future. "
"Beautiful! Perfectly dreamy!" That was the headline of Empire magazine's film review, and it became an indispensable footnote in the flood of praise for "Batman: The Dark Knight."
The 30,000-word burst is on, and it will continue tomorrow, hehe, please double the guaranteed monthly pass!
