First of all, this movie is very profound, very thought-provoking, very realistic depiction of reality, the characters are very full of characters, and each character can remind you of some people in real life. Start the text below!

In a crime-ridden city, how should people fight crime?

The targeted gangsters believe that you should understand the world of crime and the suffering of the people, implying that criminals have their own difficulties. Personally think that it is a means of whitewashing, secretly stealing bread and so on. Uncle], it is unacceptable to kill for no reason like Chili.

//After two days, my point of view has changed. The gang boss may really agree with this statement, or he may justify himself. This statement plays a role in laying the foundation for fighting crime. First of all, you have to Know who you're hitting so you can possibly come up with ways to punish them.

The Shadow Warrior Alliance believes that the entire city is hopeless and can only be eliminated by slaughtering the city. The grade is slightly lower than Thanos. I can understand their thoughts, Duka's rhetoric in prison is really excellent, coaxing Bruce to join the alliance, [Both sides take a wave of what they need, oh no, the alliance was prostituted for nothing, and finally the base It's gone], but the slaughtering method is absolutely unacceptable. One pot is an anti-human behavior, which is why Bruce abandoned them. [Off-topic: The Shadow Warrior Alliance is too stupid. I wanted to brainwash Bruce into a samurai to serve the alliance. I didn’t expect Bruce to be flexible and didn’t believe in your tricks. They simply created the most terrifying "enemy" for themselves. It is suggested that they should strengthen ideological training in the future, and then take apprentices with true feelings. . . 】

Rachel is a person who fights crimes by legal means. She is an assistant prosecutor herself. She wants to make a difference, and she wants to change the status quo through her own efforts. She won't be in cahoots with others, she is determined to fight crime, and she despises those who take bribes. She is quickly targeted by gang bosses. What I think is great about this episode of Batman saving her is that she carries a self-defense weapon with her. She's not a female vase character who just waits for a man to rescue her.

Police Gordon actually uses legal means to fight crime, but he has a more moderate attitude. Even if others commit crimes, I don't care about you, but I can't change the current situation in the system. bird's. But if someone stands up to fight crime, he will support it. [The problem with trying to reform from within the system is that the system can easily assimilate you. It is very difficult for you to change the system, but after you are frustrated everywhere, it is easy for the system to assimilate you. Rachel is better than Gordon in that she always sticks to herself, no matter what the outside world is.]

The chief of police hates Batman using lynching to solve problems, and he thinks that what the law can do for the police is not up to you. It's true that some people don't care that your purpose is to fight crime, they just hold on to your behavior. The police chief should take a look at Gotham's corruption, where evil is rampant. Compared with hate crimes, he hates people who go overboard and help the police punish criminals. [I forgot whether this product was bribed or not. . If you take bribes, you can understand]

Alfred and Lucius: Help the gangster Batman!

The attitude of the citizens of Gotham is actually similar to that of the police department. At the party hosted by Bruce, everyone's attitude towards Batman is also two-sided. The opinions of adults are basically stereotyped, except for those who constantly reflect, Joe the Great represents the naive child who thinks Batman is amazing. Cute children like us always have a naive expectation for social newspapers, believing that the social order should be that justice will triumph over evil, and that there is a natural distinction between good and evil. As you grow up, you realize that dualism is not desirable.

Batman: The parents were killed and the seeds were planted. On how to achieve justice, he absorbed the ideas of many people along the way, including the gangster [being trapped and going to jail], the Shadow Warrior Alliance [learning to use the power of fear and overcoming his own Fear], Rachel [give up hatred and do something practical to fight crime and save Gotham], he did not form the values ​​of "Batman" from the beginning, relying on personal strength to punish evil and promote good, and hand the criminals to the police deal with. One of the things I admire about Batman is that he has no superpowers among superheroes. As a mortal, he went to learn ninjutsu and how high technology can help him, all in order to fight crime. He doesn't care what other people think of Batman or Bruce Wayne's image [To drive away the guests at the party [Afu rages: Master's reputation! ], and teasing Batman himself at the party], he has great love in his heart, he really practiced the values ​​he believed in, and really helped Gotham City become better, I really admire him for doing real things, I really despise those people who are not complicit in their own nonsense, and who are also critical of his behavior in the process of fighting crime [the so-called rationalist]. The problem with him is that his existence is both good and bad. The advantage is that the criminals are punished and justice is served. The disadvantage is that who gives Batman the standard for judging bad guys? All his action guides are based on information provided by others. What if he is deceived? With Batman, will Gotham's police agency be useless? Will the cops just rely on Batman to get the job done and start slacking off on their own?

Not everyone can be Batman, his economic base is different from most people, but at least we should be supporters of Batman, we should be supporters of fighting crime. Don't be too harsh on people who do real things. If you really want to criticize, just criticize his views rationally, and don't deny him as a whole.

----------------------------

Let’s exchange a wave of feminist ideas below

In fact, I feel the same way about this movie from a feminist point of view. Crime is prevalent in Gotham City, similar to patriarchal ideology everywhere. Fighting patriarchal ideology is actually more difficult than fighting crime, because patriarchal ideology is relatively hidden, hidden in feudal ideology, and many people have been defending it, but at least everyone knows that crime is wrong. , everyone has such a consensus.

So what is the current situation of zg? Some patriarchal [gangsters, evil forces in movies] commit crimes in real life [such as killing women, raping women, etc.], and some patriarchal [police chiefs] think that even so, women's posture should be good-looking, and rights protection posture needs to be Grace. Some patriarchs deny that there is inequality between men and women, and some equal rights [people who eat melons] believe that the rights of both parties must reach a 50% balance, and no one should be superior to the other. It is wrong to prioritize boys over girls and girls over boys , Some feminists [Rachel/Gordon] think that we should join the system to make changes, we need more female police, female judges and female officials. The Shadow Warrior Alliance has no counterpart in reality. No feminist will really go to Gotham City to poison or kill all men on the street, so I think there is no extreme feminism in ZG now. The so-called extreme feminism is actually the same as the previous two years. Pastoral feminism is almost the same, just a new name, a new round of stigma.

The group of people who are considered to be extreme feminists on Weibo now advocate that they are not married, sterile, and non-cooperative. They are far from extreme. Some people say that scolding marriage donkeys [women who have lost power in marriage] is extreme. Please unify the standards of extremes between men and women. Cursing people is wrong, and it is not conducive to the development of feminism. Personally, I try not to scold others, but if everyone thinks that feminists are not allowed to scold people, then is it another kind of gender hegemony? Could it be that everyone can scold women's rights, but women's rights can't fight back? Logically it doesn't make sense. If you feel that swearing is not conducive to uniting women and the development of feminism, this is indeed the case. Everyone is easily carried away by their emotions. No matter how much information you have on popular science, you can’t lose as many fans as you scold someone. I have only recently mastered this principle, but I only use it to demand myself, not to demand others.

What I respect most are people who do practical things. It is basically impossible for zg to go to the streets and parade. To speak out is to do practical things. With reference to Lu Xun’s abandonment of medicine and writing, relying on the pen to wake up the Chinese people, many essays are still of far-reaching significance. What I despise the most is people who clearly know that it is wrong to prioritize sons over women, and do nothing but use the keyboard to comment on those who are doing things. Not everyone is feminist, but at least everyone should be a supporter against patriarchy. If you really want to criticize feminist views, just criticize them, you don't have to deny the whole of feminism, and you don't need to unite everyone on the basis of feminism, Batman is just doing justice in his own way, he will not try to unite all Gotham Citizens, recognized by all citizens. Feminism is not RMB, how can everyone love it~

Plot introduction [in the order of events, not consistent with the order of the movie]:

Bruce Wayne was very afraid of bats, and while watching the opera with his parents, he felt that the opera characters were scary like bats, and the three of them left the stage early. As a result, he met the gangster Chili, and his parents were unfortunately killed. Police say the killer has been apprehended. Young Bruce planted the seeds of fighting crime in his heart, and deeply believed that it was his fault that his parents were killed [enlightened by A Fu].

When Bruce returned to Gotham after graduating from college, his childhood sweetheart, Rachel, was now an assistant prosecutor. The murderer, Chili, is willing to testify against the gang in exchange for an opportunity for early parole. Bruce can't accept such a behavior in court, and intends to kill Chili with homomorphic revenge, but Chili has already been killed by the gang before he starts. Rachel hopes that Bruce can put down his hatred and save the corrupt Gotham. Bruce said that I am not a good person, and I also wanted to kill Qi Li, but Rachel slapped him severely. The gangster Ficoni told Bruce that you don't know the suffering of the people at all, and you don't understand the criminal world at all.

In order to gain insight into the criminal world, Bruce even committed the crime himself and went to prison. He met Henry Duka in prison. Henry drew a pie for him and said that you want to fight crime. Follow me. I will take you to join the nemesis of the criminal organization. , you will become a legendary hero. Henry trains him as a ninja, enlightens him on his guilt, and teaches him to overcome his own fears and create the fears of others.

During the graduation test, Bruce refused to kill criminals and submit a certificate. He did not agree with Al Gore's idea of ​​destroying the entire Gotham City, and destroyed the base of the Shadow Warrior Alliance. Al Gore died, and Bruce rescued Henry.

After returning to Gotham City on a private plane, Bruce finds that the criminals and bureaucrats in Gotham City are in a mess. He intends to fight crime in his own way. He used the company's high-tech to get himself a set of clothing/equipment/chariot, and transformed the Batcave into a base. The policeman Jim Gordon was excluded for not complicity with the criminal forces. Batman asked Jim why no one sanctioned Ficone who was selling drugs. Jim said that he had bought a lot of people, and he needed to put pressure on the judge to sanction him.

Batman's first action caught Ficone, who was dealing drugs, and handed it over to the police. On the way, he rescued Rachel, who was being targeted by the gang. Some cops thought he was lynching, some thought he was doing justice. Citizens also have two attitudes. Bruce, who shaped the image of Playboy, happened to meet Rachel. Rachel said that you would not come to me when you came back. I was very disappointed in you, and Bruce couldn't explain it to her.

[Fuck, writing the plot is too tiring! ! ! To be continued, let me write an analysis first]

    Justice is about harmony, revenge is about you making yourself feel better.

    A hero is not that you can be quite as you want, you need money, high technology, and a wise old man to help (▔/﹏\▔)
