Made in Hollywood

At the Chicago Classic Theater, the screening of "Batman: Hour of War" is coming to an end. Facing his own principles and Henry Ducard, who wants to destroy Gotham City, Bruce Wayne chooses to neither kill nor save. Let the leader of the Shadow Warrior Alliance fall along with the rail car.

The ultimate villain of this film is Batman's teacher Henry Ducard. Batman's fighting skills are taught by him, but Henry Ducard didn't know how firm belief and unshakable conscience Bruce Wayne had. , as can be seen from Wayne's steadfast refusal to behead the farmer.

After defeating Henry Ducard and protecting Gotham City, Bruce Wayne finally found the meaning of his existence, no longer just to avenge his parents, but to become the guardian of the city.

At the end of the credits, Batman talks to Sheriff Gordon on the roof, people have seen hope again, Gotham City shows signs of recovery, but crime has not been eradicated, and good and evil will continue to fight.

A playing card instantly ignited Norman Shearer and Brad Miller's eager anticipation for the next episode - who is the Joker? Why is he dressing up as a clown? What did he do? What will the showdown between him and Batman be like?

Brother and sister David Ellison and Meghan Ellison were not hard to tell apart from the deafening applause as Batman unfolded his cape and flew through the night sky of Gotham City, "Batman: War Hour" As the opening of a new trilogy, it was clearly recognized by the general audience present.

If you want to defeat the enemy, you must first understand the enemy. David Ellison has done enough work on Duke and Batman before, and he has also studied at the University of Southern California Film School. At this time, it is not difficult to come to a conclusion. ——Compared with the previous four Batman films, Duke Rosenberg's "Batman: War Hour" has a unique style. And it's exciting enough!

Even if he is now hostile to that director, he will not deny it.

This is also good, only by defeating a strong enough opponent can you prove your ability.

Like Duke, people like David Ellison have never been afraid of competition and challenges.

He is sitting here. Based on what he learned at the USC Film School, he recalled the entire film and analyzed the pros and cons in order to summarize some experiences that would benefit him.

As the first installment of Duke Rosenberg's Batman trilogy, "War Hour" appropriately shows the relationship and characteristics between the main characters, and should also lay the groundwork for each character's subsequent fate. One of the most prominent features. Compared with its four "predecessors", Batman under Duke's guide tube walked down from the altar and became a flesh-and-blood person.

Next to Meghan Ellison, her eyes also flickered with thinking, and she completely lost her arrogant and domineering look. A woman who was once able to make it through the complex Hollywood, even with the help of the Ellison family, is not too bad.

She is also a student of the USC Film School, and likes the style of the film to be more literary. Look at the eyes of nature and David? Ellison is different.

Although there have been some conflicts with Duke and Scarlett Johansson before, but in the heart. Megan Ellison thinks this is a completely better than the previous four Batman films.

Director Duke Rosenberg's continuous success in Hollywood is definitely not a fluke. He added his personal opinions and understandings to the work "Time to War", making the trilogy full of philosophical and profound social significance.

even. Unconsciously, like completing the homework assigned by her tutor, she divided the important plot of the entire film into several segments for analysis.

In the first clip, a large number of bats are flying all over the screen, and the image of a large bat looms.

Megan Ellison sees it as a sort of Batman symbol, and most viewers like her are visibly frightened when they first see it without prompting, and that's what the movie is about "fear". The reason why a large bat image is formed is to express a kind of "exploitable fear", which actually lays the groundwork for the later elaboration of the film.

In the second clip, Bruce and Rachel were playing hide-and-seek. Bruce fell into the well with a spear. The bats in the well attacked. Bruce woke up. This was his earliest contact with bats, and from this moment, bats began become his inner fear.

In the third clip, when Bruce is incarcerated for a fight, Henry Ducard appears and talks to him.

It was the first confrontation between the pros and cons. Henry Ducard said that the Shadow Warrior Alliance was to fight crime. Bruce pointed out that they were lynchers. The ninja master explained that only those who lost in the fight were lynchers. They were often imprisoned. become a legend.

The fourth episode, a series of training sessions for Bruce by Henry Ducard, is precisely what he taught Bruce how to accept the reality of anger, and pointed out and contributed to the two most important reasons for Bruce Wayne to become Batman-become Fear itself and the fear of being invisible.

In the fifth clip, Bruce passed the training, but because of a disagreement with the Shadow Warrior Alliance on the issue of killing farmers, and learned that they were going to destroy Gotham City, he destroyed the Shadow Warrior Alliance and rescued Henry Ducard .

Here, killing the farmer became the fuse for the conflict between Bruce and the Shadow Warrior Alliance. The Shadow Warrior Alliance killed the farmer and destroyed Gotham City in order to eliminate sin and restore justice, and Bruce believed that Gotham City was still saved and cannot be destroyed. This also directly triggered the conflict between Batman and the Shadow Warrior Alliance in the future - the former's principle is not to kill, but to hand over criminals to the law; the latter believes that all sins should be destroyed...

The sixth segment, the final battle is coming, Henry Ducard and Bruce's conversation before the Bruce's house is burned.

This is the foreplay of the film's climax, and Megan Ellison believes that the main contradiction is concentrated here.

The Shadow Warrior Alliance has been playing the role of destruction and reconstruction for hundreds of years. Henry Ducard said that they tried to destroy Gotham City before, but they were stopped by good-hearted people such as Bruce's father, and the toiling people they helped kill in turn. Dead people who helped them.

This time, the Shadow Warrior Alliance has returned to destroy Gotham City.

From this, it can be seen that the Shadow Warrior Alliance does not consider whether a city has reached the point of hopelessness, but judges by their own standards.

In other words, the Shadow Warrior Alliance considers itself to be God and has the highest authority to judge the life and death of a city, and the standards for the ruling are set by themselves! At this point, it can be seen that Bruce's use of Batman to save Gotham City is actually the greatest excavation of social value. The Shadow Warrior Alliance ignores the objective existence of society for its own existence, and Batman in turn is its biggest defender.

For the entire "Batman: Time for War", because of Duke Rosenberg's consistent production style, Megan Ellison can easily see that the commercial nature of the film is still far greater than the content and ideology.

However, a lot of the dialogue in the film has actually laid the groundwork for the subsequent two films, and in general, this is a story about how Batman was born.

"The birth of Batman is larger than the discussion of the entire urban society."

After Megan Ellison briefly analyzed the film, she couldn't help but whisper, "This is actually a story of a person who overcomes and becomes fear and uses it to fight crime."

Turning his eyes slightly, David Ellison glanced at his sister, and stood up quietly amid the warm applause, "Let's go, there's no need to stay here any longer."

"Yeah." Megan Ellison nodded lightly and followed him out of the theater.

Both of them are actually very clear that compared to the Lord of the Rings trilogy, "Batman: War Hour" is indeed weaker and less entertaining, but the film is exciting enough, even if they are for Duke Rosen Berg's prejudiced people can faintly feel that the market response of this film will not be bad.

"how do you feel?"

In the theater, Scarlett Johansson stood up along with the others long ago, clapping her palms vigorously, and at the same time leaning into Erin Lauder's ear, she asked, "Is it wonderful."

"Very good." Erin Lauder also applauded, "It's just a little too realistic."

"I think this style is very good. I've seen enough of that omnipotent superhero." Scarlett Johansson said curiously, "I didn't expect that a person who is good at making non-realistic films A well-known director who makes a realistic-looking film will look so good.”

In Scarlett Johansson's impression, Duke's most exciting and successful films are all non-realistic science fiction and fantasy films.

"Honey," Erin Lauder reminded, "did you forget Saving Private Ryan?"

"Oh, yes!" Scarlett nodded and said as a matter of course, "Those who always criticize Duke should take a good look, his realistic films are just as wonderful!"

"He's always been the best."

Irene Lauder said this at the end, she has known Duke for ten years, and his strength can only be described as unbelievable, and he has always maintained enough forward momentum to make it inevitable for those who are chasing behind. A feeling of powerlessness.

The applause continued. Duke and Charles Rowan had already convened the crew and walked to the small stage in front of the screen for a curtain call. After two consecutive curtain calls, the applause finally subsided, and the audience began to leave the stage one after another.

After all, this is only the beginning of the whole series, it is impossible to cause a sensational impact from the beginning, that is simply unrealistic.

The film screening was over, Duke took the main members of the crew and walked into the temporary press room on the other side. (To be continued ~^~)
