In the screening room.

The big screen flickered, but the overall tone of the film was dark.

That was fine.

It’s not that the audience cannot accept dark-themed movies, such as the Batman Trilogy and the Joker, but they cannot accept boring and lengthy plots.

The following plot is like this:

Clark wanted to report about Batman, but the editor-in-chief said, no way, you just report the game honestly, blah blah blah blah…

Lex found a piece of kryptonite from the crashed Kryptonian reconnaissance ship. As a victim of the Black Zero incident, he chose a path close to destruction (deicide) to create a human world that he thought was better, blah blah blah blah…

Batman punishes evil and promotes good in the city, and everyone praises him, blah blah blah blah…

Superman In this way, "707" punishes evil and promotes good, but the damage to the city in the process is a bit large, and everyone begins to hate Superman, blah blah blah...

Clark flirts with his girlfriend, blah blah blah...

Batman flirts with the butler, blah blah blah...

There are also many hidden metaphors during this period:

For example, in order to eradicate the Neromi forces, the CIA used Jimmy Olsen as a photographer to find out the hiding place of the warlord. The mercenaries sent by Lex to "assist" the warlord revealed Jimmy's true identity to everyone and killed him.

After locating Jimmy's tracker, the CIA launched missiles at Neromi despite the presence of Lois and dozens of Neromi villagers, but was stopped by Superman who arrived.

Before Superman rescued Lois from Amaza, Lex's mercenaries betrayed and shot the warlord and burned him along with the bodies of the villagers, creating the illusion that Superman used thermal vision to indiscriminately attack civilians in order to rescue Lois.

Except for the mercenaries who committed the crime, only the CIA knew the whole story of the incident. In order to cover up the fact that it indiscriminately bombed Neromi, the CIA acquiesced to the rumor that "Superman killed civilians", which also satirized the actions of the American government in the war on terror in reality.

For example, Lex coerced Neromi villager Kasina to give false testimony in Congress to accuse Superman, intentionally inducing humans to believe that Superman is a potential dictator.

The visual structure of this scene completely corresponds to the oil painting "Pilate Judges Jesus",

"Zack Snyder really compared Superman to Jesus. This trial plot is implying that Pontius Pilate listened to the slander of the evil and demanded the trial of Jesus." Sofia said.

Martin nodded, "The picture is good, and the allusions are also very accurate, but it has no effect on the plot. In fact, this five-minute plot can be glossed over in thirty seconds."

There are also Gotham highway billboards graffitied with "The End is Coming", and people burned Superman dolls after the Capitol bombing.

This is Zack Snyder's tribute to his own movie "Watchmen". "Rorschach" Walter Kogwarts (a character in "Watchmen") holds up a sign saying "The End is Coming" on the streetAfter investigating a child kidnapping case in 1957, he became more withdrawn and irritable.

After the Keene Act came into effect, Walter Kogwarts was accused of being a criminal for refusing to "retire". People hated them (the Watchers), burned their puppets in the parade, and shouted for the Watchers to get out of their city.

In addition, the police number of the two Gotham patrolmen is "DC27" and the police address is "1939 Harbor Street", which corresponds to the 27th issue of "Detective Comics" (now DC) in 1939, where Batman was born.

The names of Officers "Mazzucchelli" and "Rucca" come from DC's artist David Mazzucchelli and screenwriter Greg Rucca.

The obvious "52" logo in the football game pays tribute to the "New 52" series in the comics.

Alfred's military background pays tribute to the main universe after "Crisis on Unlimited Earth".

Another interesting detail is that the composer Hans Zimmer played the Superman theme song "An Ideal of Hope" he created in "Man of Steel" backwards to complete Lex's BGM "The Red Capes Are Coming", and the tone and speed were slightly adjusted to make it more weird and corrupt.

Also, the Superman statue was inspired by the Detroit Spirit Sculpture, and the Hero Park was inspired by the 9/11 Memorial Plaza.

In the Black Zero incident, the Upper East Side of Metropolis was razed to the ground by the Kryptonian reconnaissance ship. In order to remember the disaster, the American government established the Hero Park here.

The Superman statue is located in the center of the Heroes Park. The wall on the back of the statue is like the 9/11 memorial, engraved with the names of the victims. While commemorating the victims, it also comforts Superman's emotions. .......

In the eyes of Lex Luthor, Wallace Keefe and other supporters of the "Superman Threat Theory", the government's act of building a Superman statue is to promote people's blind worship of false gods.

The Superman in the statue kneels on one knee, without any sense of deterrence from the gods, holding the sky with his left hand and humbly stretching humanity with his right hand.

It symbolizes that Superman is the bridge between divinity and humanity, and how to grasp the balance between divinity and humanity is the primary problem that Superman needs to face.

It has to be said that Zack Snyder has a lot of ideas, but did he not consider the audience's feelings when he stuffed so many things into the movie?

Look at the drowsy audience in the theater. They don't care about the deep meaning of the movie at all. They are here for entertainment. Otherwise, why choose to watch comic-adapted movies?

"As I said before, metaphors are allowed, and deep meanings are allowed, but they must serve the plot." Martin said.

"Like Joker?" Sofia added playfully.

"Yes, just like Joker." Martin laughed.

At this time, Zack Snyder also felt something was wrong, because the audience went to the toilet too frequently, which was not a good phenomenon.

And the people sitting in the back rowHenry Cavill, who plays "Superman", looked even uglier. He could hear 5.1 snoring from behind.

The box office failure of "Man of Steel" had already put him under a lot of pressure. If this movie fails again...

He didn't dare to think too much.

Ben Affleck, who plays Batman and sits next to him, also noticed that the audience was a little absent-minded and was a little worried, but he was fine, just a little worried.

After all, with the "Dark Trilogy of Batman" as a foundation, he is now basically regarded as a symbol of Batman by comic fans and fans, and the failure of one or two movies will not affect him.

Even the latest issue of Batman comics is based on his image.

"Don't worry, Henry, the movie is not over yet." He whispered to comfort Henry Cavill.
