Made in Hollywood

"This movie is mainly about Wayne growing up. What impresses me is not that he saves the city as Batman in the future, but the process of learning fighting swordsmanship and overcoming his fears at the top of a snowy mountain."

After walking out of the theater, Brad Miller was still discussing the "Batman: Hour of War" he had just watched with Norman Shearer, whom he had just met. The scenes and lines can also arouse people's blood boiling or emotional resonance, and movies that can do this are undoubtedly good movies, and this one is no exception."

The two seemed to be talking very speculatively, walking towards a nearby bar while talking, Norman Shearer also expressed his own opinion, "Actually, some of what Henry Ducard said is very reasonable, such as conquering fear. The only way is to face fear. People are always afraid of things that they don’t know and don’t understand. We often instinctively reject those choices that don’t conform to the mainstream, and dare not try those areas that we don’t understand, because we are always afraid of change. I am afraid that the changed life will not be as good as it is now, so I often deceive myself, keep my own way, and live my life like this.”

When he walked into the bar, Brad Miller replied, "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 added, "His face, which is both good and evil, is especially suitable for the role of inner struggle."

"Well." Brad Miller completely agreed with him. "Duke is not only very good at making movies, but also very good at casting actors."

In the temporary press room of the theater, Duke brought the crew to be interviewed, and there are already many fans through the Internet, a media medium that responds very quickly. Expressed their views on the film, especially on IMDB, many fans with many years of movie watching experience have left comments in the comment box of "Batman: Time for War".

"In Batman: Hour of War, director Duke Rosenberg's groundbreaking approach to Batman as a mortal man also deeply explores the relationship between human fear, anger, and power. As well as the characteristics and relationships of the characters, people can clearly understand the origins of the main characters and their concepts and positions, laying the groundwork for their fate and choices in the subsequent two works."

"As a reboot, it explains where Batman came from, why he became Batman, and how he became Batman. In terms of the script, the movie seems to be about his bio or his upbringing. track."

"Duke has made Gotham a dark city. Crime, corruption, and high technology are everywhere, and the city has reached the lowest point of society. It breeds fear. ...and fear is at the heart of this film."

His views were also endorsed by other fans.

"It's true, there's never been a movie that can borrow a movie to illustrate the relationship between fear, anger and strength like Duke."

"Anger comes from fear. Anger generates power, and this power can create evil. It can also fight against evil, either individually or locally. When the evil is beyond the law, it needs to be recovered by the righteous force. The righteous force is also beyond the law. , it is easy to become an evil force after destroying the evil force. There is no solution to this problem. Because this power comes from fear after all. Fear is the instinct of human beings. To die. The bad thing is, human beings always exist. Just believe in the law, so that human beings can exist for a better and longer time.”

Just like the analysis of "The Matrix", everyone will always have a different understanding of the movie, and some even go far beyond the writers and directors' imagination.

As the premiere ended, more and more Duke fans entered IMDB, and although this was not a typical Duke-style film, these people also thought the film was good enough.

"This is the best Batman movie, so visually and emotionally exciting, it can be called a model of action, Duke has given Batman a new life on the big screen!"

"Batman: Hour of War is really amazing, even though it's a lot more depressing in terms of superhero movies in general, but that's where the movie shines, Duke is shooting a completely different superhero movie. ."

"The film makes a complete and full description of the reasons why Bruce Wayne became Batman, from self-doubt to tempering to regaining justice, the whole process is done in one go, and the characters' inner emotions are also real and rich, an excellent series opening. It's the most captivating Batman movie out there."

"Duke's Batman jumps out of the increasingly clichéd status quo of Hollywood hero movies, with grand and spectacular scenes and momentum, rich and full characters, and a more exciting and delicate storyline - from script, photography, editing, mise-en-scene, 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 height, which may be bad news for its film counterparts , but definitely good news for the audience!"

Of course, some people like a movie, and some people don't like it. Besides, "Batman: Hour of War" can't be compared with the Lord of the Rings trilogy at all. Duke wants to explain clearly how Bruce Wayne became Batman. It is bound to 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 himself, the story is quite satisfactory, but because Duke broke the traditional hero model, it is very rare for this movie to be deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. But the biggest problem of the movie is that compared with the past movies , the rhythm is slow, and it pays too much attention to excavating the psychological transformation process of Bruce Wayne, which leads to insufficient action scenes. Except for the car chase scene of the Batmobile and the final battle between good and evil, Duke has almost no advantages in action movies and sci-fi movies. 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 are switched back and forth, which makes it difficult to understand. This part is not likeable."

Simple movies are the ones that can run amok in the world. The more complicated the movie, the narrower its popularity will be.

Duke is very aware of this, so the digging of Bruce Wayne's so-called inner world is only enough. As long as Batman can find himself, it is enough. There is absolutely no need to dig further in this area. That way it's not a commercial film, but a niche literary film.

Even Christopher Nolan, the former director of the CUT film, is still a standard commercial blockbuster after the trilogy he directs changes.

No one is 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, but walked to a lounge and prepared to wait for a while. After all, there were a large number of media reporters gathered outside. Even if he got in the car, he would be blocked by these people on the road. It is better to wait for Christian Bale and others to attract some people before leaving and returning to the hotel.

Sitting in a high-back chair, Duke asked the female assistant who came in with him, "Tina, is Hathaway's incident still being hyped by the media?"

Tina Fey sat next to her and replied, "Fox and Disney's media have been chasing after them. Although Anne Hathaway was released on bail by us and changed the tone of some of the media after the press conference, her It's really involved, and it's hard for us to get rid of it completely."

"Remember to notify her PR and agent," Duke urged, "Let Hathaway speak less. If a reporter asks a question about this, crying is the best way to deal with it, which is also for her. It's not difficult."

"Um..." Tina Fey wrote it down in her work log, "I'll stress it out to her manager when I get back to the hotel."

As Duke's agent, no one will ignore the words of Tina Fey, who has gradually become a heavyweight in Hollywood.

It is no exaggeration to say that as long as there is Duke's support, Tina Fey can be ranked in the list of powerful people in Hollywood.

A light knock on the door suddenly sounded, Tina Fey went over and opened the door, and Irene Lauder and Scarlett Johansson walked in together.

"Hi, Duke."

Scarlett greeted him quite cautiously, Duke nodded to her, and Erin Lauder on the other side came over, hugged him gently, and said, "Congratulations, another one A successful franchise is about to be born."

"It's just the premiere."

In front of his friends, Duke rarely said modestly, "It's hard to say how the market will react later."

"Honey, I've watched your movies for more than ten years." Erin Lauder smiled softly, "I still have some understanding of the market reaction to your movies."

Scarlett Johansson suddenly interjected, "Duke, you have given Batman a new life."

Duke just smiled and didn't say much. After all, the fierce competition in the summer season was here. Although he was full of confidence, he couldn't guarantee anything.

In North America, a relatively mature film market, the box office is ultimately determined by the market and the audience, and will not change with personal will.

Just like the social situation, there are quite a few factors that affect the success or failure of a movie, and a movie never succeeds if you want it to succeed.

After waiting for about 40 minutes, Duke and the other three left the theater by car and returned to the hotel.

The premiere is over, but for many fans, the night is just beginning. (To be continued ~^~)
