Five hundred and twentieth chapters the way to fight crime
Duke can discuss the role with the actors and directly tell them the results they want, but how to adjust the actors is a layman. However, in the subsequent shooting, Christian Bale's condition improved significantly, and the action scenes maintained a high physical level , The performance of literary drama is also improving rapidly, and the role he plays even has a feeling of being a teacher and a father between Henry Ducard, played by Liam Neeson.
This is also the effect Duke wants. As Bruce Wayne's guide, although the concept is diametrically opposite, the ninja master undoubtedly played an important role in the birth of Batman.
After a short period of adjustment and constant communication with Duke, Liam Neeson has gradually improved his grasp of the role, especially his appearance and temperament, which can provide him with great help in shaping the role.
From the outside, Henry Ducard is upright, and mentally, the ninja master also believes that what he is doing is absolutely righteous.
To a certain extent, Henry Ducard's hatred of sin has something in common with Bruce Wayne - anger welling up over the murder of a family member.
The two have taken different paths, the ninja master needs to control his anger, so he takes revenge on those involved in his wife's death, which also promotes his principle - for all he considers evil, evil Groups, what he does is eliminate, punish.
As a result, the Shadow Warrior Alliance headed by him adhered to the principle of sin should be destroyed and then rebuilt.
It is not a mistake to be able to destroy and rebuild, because history has always been constantly updated.
However, one of the uncertainties of Ninja Master's position is that the criteria for determining whether a thing should be eliminated and sanctioned is in the hands of the Shadow Warrior Alliance. In other words, the Shadow Warrior Alliance holds the power of life and death for all things in the world.
so. Bruce Wayne called them executioners and lynchers.
It can be said that the only driving force for the continuation of the Shadow Warrior Alliance is destruction and reconstruction, and the standard is only limited to its own determination.
Everything deemed irredeemable by their standards, or what is said to be sinful and irreversible, must be punished, destroyed. Then the suitable object must be rebuilt.
Hiding behind the leeward glacier, Liam Neeson held a cup of hot coffee in both hands, and told Duke about his understanding of the Shadow Warrior Alliance, This principle is the necessary driving force for the existence of the Shadow Warrior Alliance. Strictly speaking, They are not evil-makers themselves, but they destroy everything, so there is no such thing as fairness and justice.
Actually... Duke took a sip of his coffee. He shrugged and said, Fairness and justice are always relative.
The difference between Batman and the League of Shadow Warriors is still obvious.
Christian Bale took over, The difference between them and Batman is that Batman doesn't kill. He just leaves the sin to the order to judge, and the Shadow Warrior Alliance destroys all sins-the sins they identify themselves.
He looked at Duke, and added, It's another theme of the film and the script. How to confront crime, or what kind of way to fight it.
Now is the long break between shoots. And when the filming is entirely in Duke's hands, the Batman trilogy is definitely not a popcorn superhero movie in the traditional sense, and trying to make this series even better is like this discussion with the starring. is very helpful.
Especially Christian Bale, his portrayal of Bruce Wayne is very important. After the last communication for two days, the other party has obviously entered a state. Although he is still a relatively silent person, he talks about the film and the role he plays. , can always have a lot of their own understanding.
In commercial productions, Duke's requirements for actors' performances have never been particularly strict. Batman can be said to have the highest requirements for acting skills among all his typical commercial masterpieces, and after more than a week of filming, he also admitted, Cooperating with an actor like Bell, who has relatively good acting skills, strong understanding ability, and a darker style, can really save him a lot of worry as a director.
A Bell who is good at analysis and constantly makes appropriate adjustments to himself, Duke has not regretted his choice. If the person standing in front of him is Ben Affleck, it is just that stiff face and arrogant performance. way, I'm afraid it will be nerve-racking.
It is true that no one is indispensable in Hollywood, but actors with a suitable style can reduce a lot of trouble for the director and the crew.
Christian Bale is undoubtedly one of those.
Hearing what Bell said, Duke also became interested and asked directly, Can you tell me your opinion.
One hundred Hamlet in one hundred people's hearts is not just talking about it. Even the same crew often has different views on a script and character. The discussion and communication between actors and directors has always been beneficial to the film.
Duke has never been the kind of director who doesn't listen to other people.
After thinking for a few seconds, in the interested eyes of Duke and Liam Neeson, Christian Bale said, My personal understanding is that, unlike Frank Miller's comics, Duke's script has four a form of fighting crime.”
Nodding approvingly, Duke gestured to him to continue.
Christian Bale added, The first, like Bruce Wayne's father, does not touch the root of the crime but takes a relatively gentle way of cleaning up the mess - addressing the needs of the poor in a short period of time, this way undoubtedly is the least effective.
He sighed, In the script, instead of solving the problem in the long run, he was killed by those who wanted to help.
Second, like Rachel Dawes, to fight crime through legitimate means like the law can achieve the fight against crime in the long run, because it is the most reasonable and social.
This is indeed the most reasonable and legal way to fight crime in the real world, but it is obviously not suitable for movies, otherwise what will Batman do, so Bell said, In Gotham City, a place where the enforcers of the law have been assimilated by sin , it's hard to fight crime with the law alone, which is why, before Batman, the law had nothing to do with Ficone and others.
The third method, like Ninja Master, is to fight crime by destroying and rebuilding. This method is the most effective, but there are also problems. First, there is considerable uncertainty, and the standard of whether or not to destroy is entirely dependent on the torturer. The second is to determine how to rebuild and the process of rebuilding is a process that requires huge costs, and it may not be worth the gain compared to the transformation before the destruction.”
When Bell said this, Liam Neeson suddenly interjected, According to my understanding of the script, although Master Ninja and his Shadow Warrior Alliance think they are righteous in their hearts, they are doing this entirely out of the need to maintain their own existence. It can take into account the feasibility of really fighting criminals.”
The last one is Bruce Wayne's Batman.
When Liam Neeson finished speaking, Bell added, Fight criminals with a freer and more powerful lynching above the law.
The analysis makes sense.
In fact, Bell's analysis fits the theme of War Hour very well. It is more appropriate to say that this is a superhero movie than a crime movie. Duke looked at his watch and said, I will add, These four methods all have private factors to a certain extent, and they are not really maintaining order beyond the social level.”
There is no way to maintain order that truly transcends the social level.
Humans have thoughts and feelings, not machines that only know how to execute. These are destined to have selfishness. Those so-called order methods that ignore human selfishness are destined to exist only in utopia.
Batman is no exception.
Okay, that's it for the discussion, Duke said to his two co-stars. We'll keep shooting.
The break lasted for half an hour. Liam Neeson and Christian Bale went to touch up their makeup. Duke called Anna Prinz to check with her the progress of the various departments on site.
The next shot was the scene where Bruce Wayne was trained in ninjutsu. Duke moved this scene out of the monastery and placed it on the vast and magnificent ice field. Under the guidance of Henry Ducard, Bruce Wayne practiced how Use the night, props and the surrounding environment to hide your figure.
Ninjutsu can be said to be an important skill for Batman to become a night knight, especially for the real version of Batman. It is impossible for Batman to directly defeat a hundred scenes in this trilogy, taking advantage of favorable situations. Raiding in the dark is undoubtedly an important means for Bruce Wayne to fight crime.
However, it was winter in Iceland, and there were too many uncertainties in shooting at night, so Duke chose to set up a green screen and shoot the scene during the day.
And in order to avoid certain uncertainties, the place where Bruce Wayne and Henry Ducard are located will be the Himalayas in Bhutan.
In short, the source of all evil will not have anything to do with the opposite.
Duke has never been the kind of person who doesn't want to be flexible, nor is he a politically correct anti-Centre like Christopher Nolan.
In the icy cold wind, Christian Bale and Liam Neeson flickered between the two teams of ninjas. The filming was cut into countless pieces. Duke would stop every now and then, and then direct the action to Jimmy Carter and Jimmy Carter. The two lead actors shouted over, exchanged views on the action scene, and resumed filming.
Filming in Iceland took half a month, and before the harsh winter came, Duke led the crew back to North America. (To be continued ^)
