Neil Darcy and Chris Van Punk are the most optimistic critics of Evan Bell. Their reviews of "Batman Prequel: The Dark Knight" are basically based on the role of Joker, but their views are understandable, because Evan Bell did contribute a great performance, and even won more praise than Leonardo DiCaprio's performance last year after his appearance in "The Blood is Coming". Not only the "New York Times" and "Film Review", but countless newspapers and magazines have come forward to send supreme praise.
"Variety Show" magazine, which has always been known for its rigorous and sincere commentary style, has stood on an objective standpoint and made a comprehensive interpretation of "Batman Prequel: The Dark Knight", and also supported the film reviews of Neil Darcy and Chris Van Punk.
"Netzsche once said that those who fight with the devil should be careful that they will become devils in their fight. When you look into the abyss, the abyss is also watching you. This is the best annotation for the "Dark Knight".
Among the many moral bottom lines in life, justice defeats evil is an unchanging law, but we never know the motivation. The word cost is closely followed by the verb of "victory," which is the verb.
On the big screen of the movie, we have witnessed countless righteous heroes, but few movies can carefully explore the three-dimensional aspect of heroes. A truly outstanding character does not simply organize the story to write advantages or disadvantages, but allows the character to be integrated into the ins and outs of the story in a truly outstanding story. Therefore, when the motivation and cost are generated, the character will be made complete.
‘The reason why Superman returns has been criticized repeatedly because Superman is not controlled, has not taken responsibility, and has not paid the price in the story. He just does what he should do, so he is dull; ‘Spider-Man, why is the second part of the series most widely praised, because the second part uses the greater the ability, the greater the responsibility, and the emotional main line of the story; ‘Iron Man, can bring such a big surprise on the summer show in 2019 because Iron Man is the representative of character determining destiny, and his character charm affects the development of the story; ‘Pirates of the Caribbean, the first part is the peak of praise, because the first part is established with the pace of Captain Jack Sparrow, but in the second and third parts, the captain goes with the flow.
The perfect combination of characters and stories is the core of a classic movie. So is it true for a hero comic movie? Nolan used the Mystery of the Shadow and the Dark Knight to construct what he thought was the two-thirds story of Batman.
‘The Mystery of the Shadow tells the story of Bruce Wayne, which completely establishes the character of Batman. Unlike any other superhero, his abilities are not the strongest, and his character is not the most prominent. He uses his body to resist bullets, his will to resist pain, and his justice to fight against evil. Such a Batman seems flesh and blood, and looks the most special. This is the work that Nolan has completed in a whole movie.
In the series "Batman" filmed by Tim Burton and Joschumacher, Batman is just a superhero, and like everyone else, it seems to be saving the world. Christopher Nolan is different. He gave Batman life. At this time, it is not Batman, but Bruce Wayne. Nolan tells us how he became Batman, how to punish crime, and how Batman became the totem of Gotham City.
‘The mystery of the heroic shadow gives Batman the motivation.’ The Dark Knight gives Batman the price.
Nolan puts the story of Batman in reality. Although Gotham is a fictional city, he deliberately adds it. The Hong Kong part is actually to make people suddenly think that this is real life and Gotham is real. So, the problem arises. Batman is challenging the bottom line of the law. His actions to fight against evil are to help society, but society is not so simple. The involvement of interests is not simple. One plus one equals two. Especially when the Joker claims that if Batman does not surrender, he will kill an innocent citizen every day, the citizens are crazy. They will not curse the Joker, but turn their fingers to Batman. Therefore, the existence of justice like Batman has become an existence that society cannot tolerate. So, the price was born.
Batman was excluded and condemned by the citizens he protected, questioned and betrayed by his subordinates, and was forced to confront the police representing the law, forced to leave his lover, abandoned by the Knight of Light, and most importantly, he was firmly controlled by the clown who represented the evil and could not move. When the story ended, Batman became the "Dark Knight," he became the object of the referential man and had nothing. This was the price.
This is what Nolan gave to the "Batman Prequel, the greatest meaning. At this time, Bruce Wayne was not only Batman, but also the most ordinary part of our society. The motivation and cost of his righteous actions are so clear that the character of Batman is full and three-dimensional.
‘The Dark Knight is outstanding not only because it establishes the image of a superhero, but also because it fully exerts the entanglements between various forces. Batman, Dante, Joker, gangster and citizens.
Strictly speaking, Batman and Gordon are the same. They represent the purest justice. They believe in balance, the resonance of darkness, and believe that in special times, special methods must be used, not dogmatic or idealistic. But at the same time, they stick to the bottom line of their hearts and will not be confused by the power in their hands, thus losing their moral standards.
Dante is a representative of legal justice and an existence within the system. He believes in law, order, and believes that ideal social models exist. Among the countless social interest classes in Gotham City, he is the real hope not only the hope of the citizens, but also the hope of Batman. He can fulfill the responsibility that Batman cannot admit, so he was given the title of "Knight of Light,".
But his hatred of evil was not the result of Wayne's personal experience, but the product of higher education. According to the clown's thinking, if the so-called civilized man does not threaten his own interests, no one wants to be righteous! But once he comes into contact with the real darkness, all defense lines will collapse. When the justice that Dent believes is not revealed and the fairness that he believes is not implemented, Rachel's death directly makes him fall into a two-faced man. The positive and negative sides of the coin determines his personal destiny seems absurd, but in fact it is Dante's definition of the so-called "fairness, the most direct and idealistic". The birth of the two-faced man is just a catalyst, and what really breaks out is the incomplete justice deep in Dante's heart.
The clown, the unique clown, is the clown who shines brightly under the interpretation of Evan Bell. His existence only believes in chaos, only the justice of chaos, and the vitality of chaos. The reason why the clown can predict things like God takes the lead and can take the initiative everywhere is because he sees the essence of the whole world clearly. The chaos and nothingness brought about by anarchism are actually the most basic state before all social forms were born.
'Why be so serious? The Joker has seen through the essence of the world.' Like gravity, all I need to do is to push it gently. The Joker's thorough wisdom is superior. How can Batman, Dante and Gordon be the Joker's opponents? Looking at the whole story, the Joker is like a catalyst, and does not participate in chemical reactions, but has accelerated the collapse of the entire pathological social structure. This trend that transforms "potential energy" into "kinetic energy," is difficult for anyone to reverse. If placed in the long river of history, it is probably the trend of the wheel of history moving forward.
Even though the last two ships successfully rescued each other and protected themselves, and Batman and Gordon made Dante's fire of hope in the name of "Dark Knight," this was just the last ray of light that fell into the invincible abyss, and everything was under the control of the Joker.
It is worth mentioning that Evan Bell plays a perfect clown, and the performance and plot are combined in a slight way, far beyond the old work of Jack Nicholson. This is one of the most classic villains in film history and also the most classic performance in Evan Bell's career as an actor!
Compared with Batman's pure justice, Dante's light justice, and Joker's pure darkness. Gangsters and citizens are two other special existences.
Gangs seem evil, but in fact their only highlights and loopholes are interests. They are representatives of villains in normal concepts and challenges to the system. However, in the interweaving environment of interests caused by clowns, gangs have also become victims, not because they are kind, but because they are normal, and are irreplaceable part of this society.
However, citizens who have always been ignored by comic hero movies have been valued in Nolan's shots. Citizens are the basis of everyone. They are the recipients of violence, but at the same time they are very likely to join the cycle of violence and become a new round of perpetrators. Once the cycle of violence is formed, citizens will be more destructive than gangsters and more subversive than clowns. Because it is the citizens who gave birth to gangsters, Batman, Dante and clowns.
Therefore, the real victory of the Dark Knight is not the chaos created by the Joker, the fall of the two-faced man into the darkness, nor the self-sacrifice of Batman, but the victory of the game between prisoners and ordinary citizens on the two ships. This is the last light of meaning in the endless darkness, and it is also the only motivation for Batman to still be the Dark Knight under the control of the Joker.
Balance, order, chaos, interests, and foundation, this represents the "Dark Knight, the five forces in it, collided with each other, forming this story that made everyone look at each other, and also made this story an excellent classic."
