Chapter 702: Sporadic Audiences Exit
The Joker’s appearance can be called the best villain’s appearance in film history. This appearance is weird and terrifying.
Lewis told Salati Merton: "If this wasn't a Batman movie, I'm sure Batman would have been completely stolen by the Joker."
" Indeed," Sarathy Merton agreed: "There has never been a movie with such a charming villain, and Heath Ledger's performance is so great.
I can understand now why I want to see him. Psychiatrist, the clown is too crazy.”
The most hyped thing before the premiere was that Heath Ledger received psychological treatment because he was too deeply involved in playing the Joker and could not come out.
In fact, Heath Ledger went to treat drug addiction and headache problems, but this kind of publicity is more beneficial to "The Dark Knight", and Heath Ledger also agreed.
From the beginning of the bank robbery to the later part of the solo gangster performing magic, the clown's drama is full of tension. Neither Batman nor Harvey Dent could steal the spotlight from the Joker, and this evil clown firmly locked the audience's eyes.
Xiao Lizi was sitting in the fourth row of the theater. The action scenes in the film firmly attracted him. The IMAX format made the impact of the picture very, very strong.
But what attracted him more was the role of the clown. This role was so charming.
Initially, Warner Bros. Pictures proposed the idea of having Leonardo DiCaprio play the Penguin, but Gilbert Jr. rejected the idea.
At that time, little Gilbert was joking with DiCaprio, wanting him to play the clown, but DiCaprio didn't take it seriously.
If he had known that this character would have such an effect, DiCaprio would have begged Gilberto to let him play the clown.
Heath Ledger is so lucky. This role is very easy to play. It is the kind of role that is rare to meet. Xiao Lizi is starting to be jealous of him, really.
Unfortunately, this is a superhero movie, otherwise it would not be a problem for Heath Ledger to win the Best Supporting Actor Oscar next year.
As technical directors, George Lucas and James Cameron are more concerned about the performance of films in the IMAX format.
The two observed that when some climactic action scenes began, the picture became wider, with more and full details.
The impact of the picture is very strong, and combined with the specially designed sound effects of the IMAX theater, the audio-visual effects strongly impact every audience.
This car chase scene in tunnels and highways has climaxes one after another, with very few special effects shots. A large number of real shots are presented to the audience through the IMAX big screen.
IMAX's technical director Doug McGrath also attended the premiere. IMAX attaches great importance to the film "The Dark Knight".
Starting from "Batman Begins" and "The Polar Express", IMAX has ambitiously wanted to enter the Hollywood movie market.
But unfortunately, in the past few years, IMAX technology has not been widely used in Hollywood. Hollywood studios and directors don't seem to like this technology, which makes IMAX difficult.
But fortunately, little Gilbert, one of the top directors in Hollywood, particularly loves IMAX. This time, the IMAX footage in "The Dark Knight" lasted 70 minutes, the most in history.
Seeing the excellent performance of "The Dark Knight" in the IMAX theater, Doug McGrath just wanted to cheer and give him a standing ovation.
Sure enough, top director plus IMAX equals: invincible!
If Doug McGrath could sing, he would have sang: How lonely it is to be invincible!
Of course, technology is only an auxiliary means. As the foundation of a movie, it is still necessary to tell a good story and create a character image.
There is no doubt that "The Dark Knight" has reached the top level in terms of technical performance, storytelling and character creation.
Over there, when Tom Cruise saw the Joker being arrested, he turned to Nicole Kidman and said: "Little Gilbert returns to his summer work to bring you a movie like this. Simply impeccable.”
Nicole· Kidman agreed: "Otherwise he is the king of summer movies. Only his movies are worthy of movie fans looking forward to every summer." Sarathy Merton has been watching this movie attentively, and her heart is always It was because he was so entangled that he breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the clown being caught.
So far, this movie is within her tolerance range. Although it is heavy, dark and serious, the story is exciting, and more importantly, the action scenes are very good to watch.
In fact, "The Last of Us" is not a good movie in a sense, but the style of this movie is more healing, and the scene where Joel violently rescues Ellie at the end also featured Salati Merton. like.
So Sarathy Merton likes "The Last of Us" very much, but she can't accept the style of "The Dark Knight".
It was like walking in a dark, long tunnel without any hope, which made Salati Merton feel like she was going crazy.
So when she saw the clown using a little trick to escape from prison, she immediately wanted to quit. She seemed to have anticipated what kind of story would happen next.
Sure enough, the clown kidnapped the gang's accountant and gave Batman a choice between two problems. Is it to save Harvey Dent, the Gotham Knight of Light, or to save Rachel, my childhood sweetheart?
In the end, Batman decided to save Harvey Dent, but watching Rachel being swallowed up by the flames, Gotham's Bright Knight suffered a serious physical and mental breakdown, his faith collapsed, and he eventually became Two-Face under the clown's bewitchment people.
“I don’t want to see it anymore,” Salati Merton said to Lewis.
"What's wrong?" Lewis turned his head and asked.
Salati Merton doesn’t even want to see it on the big screen: “This is not what I expected. I thought it was a very refreshing superhero movie.
6◇9◇书◇Bar
But I didn’t expect that Gilbert Jr. would make this movie so heavy and dark. It’s so unlike a superhero movie. It’s too crazy, I can’t stand it.”
Lewis was helpless, and he couldn’t force it in this situation, so he said: “Then you go outside and wait for me, and we’ll go have a drink together later. Coffee."
"Okay." Sarati Merton picked up her small bag and exited the cinema.
She found that she was not the only one who left the show, but five or six others left the show with her. Several people were discussing the reasons for leaving the show, and the conclusion was that this film did not make people happy at all.
“Why did little Gilbert shoot such a heavy movie? It made my blood pressure rise.”
“Yes, the clown is really scary. I don’t deny that the movie is very Okay, just not my style. "
"I don't think it's good at all. The car chase scenes are pretty good, but I'm not happy at all."
"This film should be rated R. Not PG-13."
The last sentence is obviously from the perspective of parents, but the most unanimous point of view of the fans who left the show is that the theme of "The Dark Knight" was too heavy and depressing, and they were unhappy to watch.
The assistant quickly reported the fans’ exit to Little Gilbert, but Little Gilbert was not surprised at all.
"Is it okay if some fans leave the show?" Jennifer Connelly asked.
“It doesn’t matter,” Gilbert Jr. said: “I had already thought of it when I was filming this movie.
This “Dark Knight” can be said to be the CUT of superhero movies. It’s normal for viewers who like light-hearted movies not to like it.”
The style of the film is destined to dissuade some viewers, which is inevitable, and little Gilbert had already anticipated this.
