Heroes imprisoned by the times
——Feelings watching "Batman 2: The Dark Knight"
I believe that everyone who has watched this film will feel emotional after the film ends. The shooting of the Batman 2 movie undoubtedly surpassed the first film in terms of special effects and other technical aspects, but what is even more shocking is the theme displayed in this film: a hero in the dark night, a hero who cannot walk into the light.
Batman's own character is full of heroic spirit. On the one hand, he is Wayne, the playboy and CEO of the family business, and on the other hand, he is the dark man of the night, who has enough money to build high-tech equipment for himself. Martial arts, I have to say, this is the standard of a hero. In a prosperous but filthy city like Gotham, the appearance of Batman is admired by the citizens. With the strong cooperation of Commissioner Gordon, Gotham has gradually become safe and peaceful, and he has even become a symbol of the city.
In this film, the newly appointed prosecutor Harvey Dent is a righteous and kind person. He actively wants to eradicate the underworld of Gotham, and he is constantly running for this. With the help of Batman, he succeeds Capturing a group of underworld became a bright symbol of Gotham, people believed in him and loved him, and Wayne also thought about making Dante the successor to Batman. Somewhat dramatic, Dante's girlfriend is Rachel, Wayne's former woman, and both of them could give their lives for Rachel, which also laid the groundwork for Dante's fake Batman. Rachel's death caused the paranoid Harvey Dante to lose his original aspiration for the light under the double blow of disfigurement. The "two-faced man" no longer believed in the so-called fairness and justice under the malicious temptation of the clown. He became a brutal murderer, and the broken coin in his hand became the "fairness" he believed, using it to decide the life and death of others, and finally made himself a tragedy.
The most worth mentioning of this film is the newly added villain: the clown. His appearance has undoubtedly become the core of the whole drama. The clown played by Heath Ledger can be described as amazing in his acting skills, and many viewers are also impressed by him. The clown's face always has a strange bright red smile on his face, with pale skin and deep black eyes, which is really terrifying. In the play, the Joker is a terrifying character who kills people and sets fires for no money or fame. He always looks crazy and threatens Gotham unrestrained. What he wants to consider is human nature, and he wants to make people human In an ugly day, unprincipled, he desperately wants the bloodless Batman to kill and destroy everything he has. And Rachel's death and Harvey Dante's fall are his "masterpieces" for persecuting Batman.
Fortunately, Batman adhered to the principle of being a hero. Even if he hated it deeply, he did not kill the clown himself, but rationally brought the clown to justice. But at the end of the film, in order to keep Harvey Dante's honor as a symbol of Gotham's light, in order to convince the public that the messenger of light still exists, and in order not to annihilate people's inner hope for light and justice, he resolutely took on Harvey Dante. Charged with killing after the fall, forced to flee. The helplessness of Director Gordon hesitantly picked up the hammer and smashed the lamp of the Batman logo, accompanied by our sighs, disappeared into the night, leaving only the boy who was rescued by Batman from Dante shouting in the dark : "He's a hero!"
"Hero", what is a hero? Batman's choice is a hero's responsibility, but also a kind of helplessness. Gotham will not always have a hero like Batman. Before he disappears, what he wants to keep is people's hope for justice and light. hold fast. Every era should have its heroes, and in a society governed by the law, Batman's justice in disregard of the law is unacceptable and intolerable, even if he does for the safety of the city And hard work, people respect him, but also fear him. In a cruel world of humanity, people will never fully accept and love what they fear, because people are also afraid that one day Batman will also Become a brutal villain, and if there is a day when no one can stop him, it will be a disaster. So in my eyes, Batman's final accomplishment is more of a heroic spirit, a spirit possessed by a real hero, he does not care about fame and fortune, he is more loyal to justice and light, even if, from now on, he can only live in Walk in the dark.
Perhaps, in this era of the rule of law, heroes like Batman are imprisoned, but the power he holds is exactly what we need. ", in this film, what I learned was "we live in the dark, but there are still people who stick to the light."
