I am the night.
I am the shadow.
I am vengeance.
The filming of this film was very hard under the epidemic, and the domestic release caught up with the epidemic, so only 60% of the theaters were open. In the end, the box office can only be determined by human resources. As a DC fan, I am very satisfied and like this movie. I also hope that friends who can go to the cinema can watch this movie while ensuring their personal safety. The best effect of watching this movie must be in the cinema, imax is the best, Dolby is next.
In the short comment, I said some first impressions, and I would like to talk more about what I liked about this version of Batman.
Batman’s fight against crime at the beginning was more like releasing his grief and anger. He sprinkled his anger at the unknown murderer of his parents on everyone who committed crimes in the dark alleys of Gotham, so he only said that he was vengeance, and he wanted revenge , but he has no clear object. The Riddler’s purpose is to cleanse Gotham’s corruption. His method is extreme destruction. He has been forgotten and abandoned since he was a child. He grows up in the shadows of the city, watching the sanctimonious rise to power. He is also taking revenge, and he has a clear target. .
Many people think that this Batman is always led by the Riddler by the nose is too amateur, this is because the information is not equal, Batman is in the Riddler in the dark, and Batman sees and feels the evil of Gotham on the surface, while the Riddler is in the dark. Seeing and experiencing the sin of Gotham is in it.
On the contrary, I really liked this somewhat stumbling case-solving process. Despite (of course, ignoring) the hostility of all the GCPD police officers except Gordon to investigate the crime scene, the Catwoman who can penetrate the inside is also a difficult target for me. He doesn’t have an absolutely correct interpretation, and he doesn’t have magical technology. He has to ride a motorcycle in a costume and drive around, and he will fall and make mistakes when he uses the equipment. of Batman.
From the very beginning, the film has been constantly suggesting the commonality of both sides of the Batman Riddler. One of the very obvious points is fear. They are both terrifying beings. Just like the reason why Batman stopped Catwoman from killing Falcone, he continued to follow the Riddler’s train of thought, which is no different from the person Arkham locked up. In fact, he is indeed a mentally ill patient from a psychological level. , but after all, there is a line that Batman has never crossed.
So when the Riddler in the cell excitedly stated that the plan was successfully executed by two people, he coldly threw out a sentence “We are not the same” and the Riddler collapsed. If Batman thinks this view is just the Riddler’s imagination , then he would have woken up when he fought against the Riddler fan army and heard that the other party also claimed to be vengeance. The previous high-level method of using “fear” as a weapon to fight crime was too simple and laborious. To a certain extent, it was only for self-satisfaction, so what was the difference between it and the Riddler who took revenge? In particular, these violent users are also victims of social injustice. That’s why he chose to jump into the water to lead the crowd, from the image that bad people and good people were afraid of in the past, to an existence that ordinary people can trust.
In fact, when I was chatting with a friend yesterday, she felt that the last part was still a Hollywood production cliché. My personal opinion is that it is still a hero film after all, and there is still some rescue drama in the end. Moreover, this treatment can also be seen as a change in Bruce Wayne himself, he will no longer be just the Avenger of the Night, he has truly become Batman; the Batlight Signal is no longer just a fear of criminals, but also can Bring hope to those in distress.
There may not be a fundamental change in Gotham. It’s not that he doesn’t understand what Catwoman said, but he chose to give it a try, to believe that this “simple” city still has the possibility to save itself. I am Gotham, Scott Snyder came up with this concept in the new 52 Batman comics, Batman can always see the worst and ugly side of Gotham, but he chooses to forgive, choose to give people the opportunity to continue to work hard, Gotham is the opposite. Come over and choose to believe in Batman more. I am very grateful to Director Ma for capturing this feeling.
The story line is clear, but the slow pace actually catches a lot of passers-by. It would be much better if Director Ma could compress the film length into two and a half hours.
In terms of character creation, the vulnerability of radishes is really handled so well! Director Ma really liked the film Good Time as he said, and he directly cued the title and even used the same shape~ Paul Dano redefines The Riddler so that he is no longer an overly cartoonish character. The rest of the characters are very full, and Jon Lin’s penguin contributed the most laughs, telling us that learning Spanish is really important! The Falcone in Turturro is very flavorful.
Zoe’s cat is very good, and has the energy to grow wildly on the street. This version of the bat cat is unexpectedly good, from the bad shape of the bat cat to the cat’s momentum suppressing the bat, from the kiss that didn’t go on at the farewell, to the two people riding The motorcycles went their separate ways to the fork one after another, and they all went their separate ways.
Only Ah Fu, I feel a little bit mean, maybe because there are fewer scenes, this setting born out of Earth 1 can actually make a fuss about the process of separation-opposition-reconciliation between the two, but the film is already quite full , the effect shown so far is not successful, it’s a pity Teacher Serkins.
If there is really a sequel, I hope you don’t rush to polish the script well, and a good meal is not afraid of being late, and quality assurance is much more important than rushing in quantity.
