It was mid-May.
"Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice" was released.
Martin also brought Sofia to the premiere.
The spirited Zack Snyder welcomed Martin's arrival.
Sitting in the screening room, Sofia joked to Martin before the movie started: "Are you here to spy on the enemy?"
Martin smiled and said: "No, I'm just here to show my care to the loser.".
The screen lit up and the movie began.
Different from the three-act structure of traditional movies, "Dawn of Justice" adopts the five-act structure of revenge tragedy that emerged in the 16th century, among which "The Spanish Tragedy" and "Hamlet" are typical.
Zack Snyder's lens pictures are as good as ever, with a texture like oil painting, coupled with the gloomy dark style, which makes the audience feel heavy in their hearts~
After watching for a few minutes, Martin felt relieved.
This movie is no different from the original timeline, and I think the box office performance of the movie will not be any different.
The opening scene shows the killing of Batman's parents and the running of Young Master Wayne after the funeral.
"There was a time when beautiful things still existed, like diamonds. But everything in the world will fall, and what falls is no longer (fallen)."
The prologue fully demonstrates the element of "fall": as the leaves continue to fall at the Wayne couple's funeral, Bruce escapes from the funeral and runs into the forest. The reverse shot after falling in the forest and Bruce falling into the abyss from the entrance of the Bat Cave all foreshadow Bruce's subsequent inner depravity.
At the same time, at the end of this scene, Bruce rushed into the forest, which, in traditional literary terms, also implies that Bruce is about to embark on a spiritual journey of no return.
To be honest, the opening scene was shot very delicately and touchingly by Zack Snyder, which showed his profound camera skills. Coupled with the implicit meaning, some professionals (film critics and filmmakers) in the scene obviously enjoyed it.
For example, Sofia beside Martin showed appreciation and thinking in her eyes.
When the posters of the two old movies "The Mask of Zorro" and "Dark Ages" appeared on the screen, Sofia even whispered excitedly.
"Oh, this scene is really great. The Mask of Zorro tells the story of Don Diego transforming into the masked hero Zorro to punish evil after his best friend was assassinated. The Dark Ages tells the story of King Arthur's life with legendary mystery."
"Obviously, the release of The Mask of Zorro should be a hint that the death of the Waynes will lead to the birth of the 'masked hero'. The upcoming release of The Dark Ages is a hint of the connection between the second half of the film and the legend of King Arthur? Well, the director probably wants to metaphorically represent Superman and Doomsday as King Arthur and Mordred, and Batman, Lois Lane and Lex Luthor as Lancelot, Lady of the Lake and Morgana respectively..."
"I understandTo put it bluntly, the director's idea is to shape Superman's character arc through Batman's perspective, from his initial hatred of Superman to his final awakening, and to find his lost self through discovering Superman's humanity. "
As the analysis progressed, Sofia became more and more excited, and the eyes of the professionals in the theater also flashed with excitement.
But for most ordinary audiences, this lengthy opening seems a bit boring.
What a joke, we watch movies to relax, not to think.
Then there is another symbolic overhead shot.
Bruce looks up at the dead Robin's armor sealed in the glass.
"Dawn of Justice" does not directly show the impact of Robin's death on Bruce, but through Bruce ’s gaze hinted at this.
At this time, the shadow on the wall showed a giant bat shape.
And many bats flew in spirals to bring this “giant bat” to the light.
“I understand,” Sofia said to herself, “The death of his parents led to Bruce’s inner depravity, that is, Bruce fell into the bat cave in the forest during his parents’ funeral; and the identity of Batman gave Bruce a new life, that is, the bats brought him to the light…”
Then Martin was heard saying, “Dante was lost in the forest of sin and was reborn after drinking the water of the River of Oblivion. Beatrice guided Dante to travel through the nine heavens. On the nine heavens, Dante saw God, but the image of God flashed like lightning and disappeared quickly. ”
What do you mean?
Sophia was stunned for a moment.
Martin turned his head and said to her: "The identity of Batman has never brought Bruce redemption. I think Zack wants to express that Bruce, who has become Batman, still cannot avoid the same tragedy - the death of his family, not only "Robin" - Dick Grayson, but also those who come after him. ”
·· ······Please give me flowers··· ··
Without time to think carefully, the plot finally got to the point.
The scene changed, and Bruce was driving, and then he watched his building being smashed into ruins by the fighting Superman, and the Wayne Group staff in the building were also killed and injured.
Different from the Metropolis Battle from the perspective of God in "Man of Steel", "Dawn of Justice" reproduced this terrorist attack from aliens from the perspective of mortals - the Black Zero incident.
Bruce rushed to the building frantically, trying to rescue Jack O'Dwyer.
The camera came to the building that was about to collapse, and Jack O'Dwyer was praying to God: "Supreme God, the creator of heaven and earth, forgive my soul. ”
. ...... ...
Then he was engulfed by explosions, flames, and collapses.
The "god" responded to him with death.
Sophia's eyes widened.
"So that's it, Director SchneiderThe actor compared Superman to God. Martin, your previous sentence also meant this, right? Sure enough, there is a follower. Another person Batman wanted to save died, and died indirectly at the hands of Superman. "
"Fanatical, angry, and powerless will make good people cruel and ruthless. Next, Batman should be paranoid because of this incident that Superman is the biggest threat to the human world. Well, this plot is still alluding to '9.11'." Martin continued to be a charlatan.
Sophia showed a look of sudden enlightenment, and then frowned, "Martin, don't you think that director Zack Snyder wants to express too much? In just less than five minutes of events, there are so many metaphors and hints. Can the audience understand it?"
"You also discovered it?" Martin laughed, "Zack is very ambitious, but unfortunately he forgot that this is a commercial movie, not an award-winning movie. The plot, the plot is the most important. ”
Sophia, who has made many commercial films with Martin, has also made some progress. She nodded and said, "The plot is obviously too long. The ideology does not serve the plot, but the other way around. It's like..."
"It's just a mystery for the sake of obscurity." Martin said.
"Yes, that's what I mean."
