Hollywood Drawing

As soon as the movie opens, it gives the audience enough information. The Joker, Harvey, Officer Gordon, Batman, and even Rachel all appear. Faced with these familiar characters, most viewers can relate to the previous film. The continuation.

This is one of the charms and advantages of serialized movies. The director can reduce the number of paragraphs introducing the information and background of each character and directly let the story get to the theme.

In order to get the audience into the rhythm of the story as quickly as possible, Wayne used several tricks that are not common in movies today, namely gaps and reversals. As early as when he was shooting and editing the film, he had always kept in mind the three elements that can make a film a god, namely gap, rhythm and chaos. These three terms are used almost throughout the entire film.

The first is the gap, which can quickly attract the audience into the story after the movie begins. Although nominally, this film still cannot escape the category of special effects action science fiction film, no one can deny that this Dark Knight's The story and theme are the main things that make it great.

After the movie started, the audience saw the first scene of the movie, and their emotions were actually controlled by Wayne. Obviously, the use of this sense of gap definitely achieved the effect he wanted.

For example, in the first scene of the movie, a group of gangsters wearing clown masks went to rob a bank. After solving all the resistance and successfully grabbing the money, several robbers began to kill each other because of the clown's setup. In the end, when One of the clowns pointed his gun at the last companion and said unceremoniously:

"I bet the clown told you he was going to kill me as soon as the money was in the car."

Obviously, he planned to strike first, but the response he got was that the clown whom he pointed the gun at said nervously: "No, no, no, no! The one I want to kill is the school bus driver."

Before the gun-wielding robber could react, a school bus rushed directly into the bank lobby and completely crushed him to death. The plot was not complicated, but it was full of absurdity and a sense of disparity, because most of the audience was absolutely disgusted. Who would have thought that the one with the advantage would instantly turn into a meat pie.

Then comes the film's second hook that absolutely captivates viewers, when the injured bank manager warns him that the Joker will eventually kill him too.

But he took off the mask directly. When everyone thought he was also a nobody, the film told everyone that this was the mastermind behind the whole thing, the clown. At this time, exactly ten seconds had passed since the school bus entered the bank hall, and the second contrast that surprised everyone appeared.

When Gotham's chaos-maker stuffed the bomb into the manager's mouth, climbed onto the school bus, and pulled the fuse, the bomb ended up just emitting a ridiculous plume of smoke, without any imaginary explosion. This is the third contrast at the beginning of the film.

The bank robbery scene in the opening scene of the movie is full of absurdity and uninhibited information, but it also directly establishes the clown's cunning, cunning and neurotic character who does not act according to common sense.

Of course, for 90% of ordinary movie fans, they cannot see the reason behind the setting of the movie. The feeling this scene gives them is very simple, that is, they have been deeply fascinated by the story at the beginning of the movie. Attracted.

"Three brilliant little contrasts!"

David Denbigh quickly observed the surroundings with his eyes, and after confirming the reactions of the ordinary movie fans around him, he immediately turned his eyes back to the big screen, and with the pencil in his hand, he quickly recorded a line of insights in his notebook. "Wayne Greenberg, it only took you about 6 minutes to whet the appetite of the entire audience. Shit, no one may have imagined it. You are still making continuous progress..."

The movie continues to be shown. In Los Angeles, far away from the Big Apple, in an Imperial Cinema in Beverly Hills, Steven Spielberg is also watching the movie with rapt attention.

The promotion work of "Jurassic Park 2" is busy, and the good Jewish people can choose to put down their busy work and go to the theater to watch the movie. The ultimate goal is to know about Wayne's "The Dark Knight". Can you withstand the impact of your own video in a week?

Regarding the film "Jurassic Park 2", his attitude is actually the same as that of Universal Pictures, full of confidence, and compared with "The Dark Knight" which was released a week earlier, the schedule of "Jurassic Park 2" is indeed Occupying some advantages, there will inevitably be a large number of fans diverted.

This is Hollywood, and no one knows the importance of film promotion and marketing better than the DreamWorks giant. But in the final analysis, whether a film has enough stamina or not depends on its level of sophistication. If this "Dark Knight" is as good as ever By continuing "Time to Fight", he can be sure in advance that this may be another successful superhero film, but it is basically impossible to block the impact of "Jurassic Park 2".

"It happened again..."

Steven Spielberg is of course a very proud man, but when the clown appeared again on the big screen, his brows furrowed deeply.

This character is so charming and dramatic. Such anti-heroic protagonists have appeared in Hollywood, but no character can capture everyone's attention in just one scene like the Joker. the audience's attention.

At this time, on the big screen, the gang was looking for the clown. Before they set off to find the clown, he walked into their gathering place and showed up on his own initiative.

Then, the clown thrust a pen onto the table, and his nervous words rang out at this time. "I'm going to make this pencil disappear."

This is a magic trick. Several gang leaders looked at the clown like a fool, but the next scene told the audience and the gang members in the movie that the clown did exactly what he said, turning the pencil into nothing. A gang member was pressed on the head by the clown and smashed directly into an upright pencil. "Da da, the pencil is gone."

"oh my god!"

"God!"

Listening to the low voices in the theater, Steven Spielberg was not moved at all. He was actually mentally prepared. This crazy and chaotic character would definitely once again act in an unexpected way, completely igniting the fire. Plot conflict.

The movie is still going on, and the gang members on the big screen are about to take action, but when they see the clown, he immediately pulls open his suit jacket, and the lining is filled with grenades and bombs. If he disagrees, he will die with everyone, showing the true nature of a madman. incisively and vividly.

"Wayne, where are your limits?"

Looking at the big screen, Steven Spielberg shook his head. Unlike ordinary viewers, he could see the language of the shots and the themes of the characters, and kept mumbling in a voice that only he could hear. Talk to yourself. "The Joker is simply the embodiment of evil, but he is fighting with another group of evil criminals. Is this the character you created for the Joker? Chaotic evil?"

The good guys and the Joker have to fight against each other, and the bad guys have to fight against each other. The extreme of chaos and evil is the theme that gives the best glimpse into the complexity of human nature in the entire movie. When such a charming character appears in front of people, who can not be deeply attracted by him?

Compared with ordinary movie fans, the so-called professional insiders are obviously more into this trick. Next to Steven Spielberg, an old man about the same age as him suddenly turned his head and whispered:

"A wonderful beginning, an extremely charming villain, and the complexity of human nature are vividly displayed. The characters appearing now, whether it is the Joker, Batman, Officer Gordon, and Prosecutor Harvey, all have different thoughts and consciousnesses. Steven, if something doesn’t happen, you might be in big trouble this time!”

In fact, the movie has only been showing for half of it. Compared to the unconventional plot of the entire movie, it has already given out enough surprises. Just look at the fans who were attracted by the movie and watched it with all their attention. Everyone. I didn't want to blink and stared at the big screen.

"Jeffrey, I didn't expect your evaluation to be so high." Steven Spielberg glanced at his companion in surprise, turned his head and continued to stare at the evolving plot, and responded in a low voice. "I remember, didn't you like Wayne's production style? You told me more than once that movies bring joy to people, but his movies are too depressing and absurd."

"No one can deny the greatness of that kid."

Jeffrey Katzenberg shrugged and chatted quietly with his companions while watching the movie. "I personally don't like dark and depressing movies, but I never said that the movie "Joker" was not great. I just didn't expect that in just a few years, the child's progress has not stopped for a moment. He has finally come out. A unique path of its own.

If you look carefully, is this a superhero movie with action and special effects as its selling point? Without having to watch the entire film, just the first half of the plot, I dare to assert that the greatness of this "Dark Knight" will never be lower than the "Joker" that had a flash of inspiration in 1993. If the theme of the movie is not distorted, in some aspects, this movie will even surpass that "Joker"! "

As his low words ended, silence returned between the two of them, each watching the movie with different emotions.

In fact, not only these two people, but almost all ordinary viewers are also more or less aware of the differences between this film and the first Batman, but fans don't think too much about it, they don't care. All they knew was that this film had deeply attracted them.

Every time the Joker appears, his crazy emotions and scenes will bring different feelings to the audience. If you watch the first "Batman" and "Joker" movies together, this soul has become extremely evil. Man, it gave those two films the illusion of sublimation.
