Chapter 478

"For me, the most important scene is the interrogation scene of the clown and Batman." in the original version, director Nolan publicly told the reporters. Nolan said that the confrontation between the clown and Batman in the interrogation room is one of the key segments of the film.

This point is also perfectly inherited in the mark version. During the conversation, through the mirror movement and light changes, the character's mentality shaken by the topic is presented, and the transformation of the "strength" of the characters in the conversation is expressed.

When the clown and the sheriff are talking, the photography director Wally fester uses the desk lamp as the light source to make the clown fall into the darkness and present a creepy and strange atmosphere. At this time, the clown's words deeply affect the sheriff, and the clown becomes the person who controls the direction of the topic; With the light on and the appearance of Batman, the clown's status has changed. Batman has become a more powerful role in the conversation. Through the change of lens orientation, it shows the alternation of "good" and "evil" in the topic.

After the appearance of Batman, the brightness of the environment has improved. Mark said that this is the first time that Batman can really see the scene in the film. The redesigned Batman clothes can also show its texture details, make the clothes look more realistic, and the audience can deeply experience the reality and cruelty in the film.

In fact, this picture is a very simple forward / backward shot, but the key to this shot is the movement of the camera. The sheriff and the clown are in the shadow. As the dialogue between them becomes more and more tight, the lens advances. But the motion of the camera is smooth, suggesting that everything is still under control, and everything changes with the emergence of Batman.

At the beginning, it was a standard forward and backward shooting lens, but the lens began to shake, indicating that it began to get out of control. In the last part of the lens, the forward and backward shooting lens began to become handheld and become more unstable. With the music rising, it emphasizes that the clown has begun to fully affect Batman.

When shooting a real fight, little plum was encouraged by Hoffman. The interrogation room scene in the film and the fight between Batman and the clown were actually real shots. Hoffman wanted to be real.

The little plum was stunned and said, "fake beating can also achieve the effect of real beating."

Hoffman said: "as you can see in the film, Batman Begins to defeat the clown and realizes that he is not an ordinary enemy. Because the more he plays, the more he likes this feeling. I think any excellent actor will fully devote himself to the role. I have the responsibility to honestly express my inner fear and love."

Little plum was respectful and did not hesitate to punch him. When he hit the meat, Hoffman screamed "cheerfully..." licking his lips and smashing his tongue from time to time in the scream to show enjoyment.

Mark was extremely satisfied with the filming of the trial. You come and go, and the attack and defense are exchanged. The tension is full, and the original version is just like this.

In an interview with film weekly, Mark said: "I think the biggest challenge in making a sequel film is to carry forward your achievements in the first film, and don't give up the role, logic and tone you created for the first episode. When making a sequel film, in addition to hoping to see the elements brought back from the first episode in the second episode, the audience also needs to innovate, and must strike a balance between new things and the original structure, which is The most important challenge in the whole film production process is that as a film producer, I have the responsibility to create entertainment effects and let people enjoy them; but as a 'performer', I also have the responsibility to honestly express my fears. "

The dark knight is created around reality. Whether it is Batman's inner fear or the hearts shaken by clowns, there is no absolute "good" or "evil" in the film,

This is only a superficial context of the film, and the core context of the film is that the clown continues to stimulate Harvey Dent and Batman, the "embodiment of justice" , they even hope that Harvey Dent will kill himself and Batman will kill himself, because in this way, they are just like him. The justice they believe in is just a superficial performance, and the real master of the world is the clown's logic - "who doesn't want justice when there is no last resort?"

Everyone thinks that his logic is correct. The world is operating according to the set of logic he believes. If the world is not like this, we will think that this is just a superficial phenomenon. The real deep logic must be the set of logic we master. To prove this, we only need to "push others" slightly , these people will fall into their own logic.

The clown is crazy. The arrested Harvey Dent will be sent to prison, and the clown designs to kill him on the road. Naturally, the "Dark Knight" will protect the "light Knight". After a fierce war, the clown is left alone, and Batman drives a high-tech motorcycle to hit him.

But the clown did not dodge, but grinned and said to himself, "hit me! Hit me!"

He wanted to use self sacrifice to lure Batman to break through his bottom line of "no killing", so as to prove that he was the only right. As a result, Batman twisted the front of the car, failed to brake, fell to the ground and fainted. The clown scolded his mother angrily and wanted to kill Batman. He was not angry that Batman wanted to kill him and catch him, but angry. Why not kill him?

"Only I am right", the temptation of this feeling is really strong. In order to "defend" this feeling, the clown does not hesitate to die.

The clown can be said to be a very important role in the history of DC and even in the history of Meiman. If there is no clown, it can be said that Meiman will lose half of its brilliance.

So why is the clown the most terrible villain in the DC world?

unknown source or origin

The source of the clown has not been clearly explained among the DC figures. A more acceptable saying is: "the clown was originally an engineer in a chemical plant, but his ideal is to become a comedian.

Obviously, whether he is an engineer or a comedian, his dream has not come true.

In the new version, the source of the clown becomes more complicated and confusing. In the end of the Batman event, in all the major tragedies or accidents in Gotham's history, a man with pale skin, green hair and a smile appears in their relevant photos. Even the owl court and the early claws are secretive about his existence.

However, it doesn't matter how the clown came from. No one cares what kind of person the clown is. Just know that he is the most terrible person in the whole DC world. All DC villains, including Lex Luther, will have the same idea. There are three kinds of people in DC's world outlook: hero, villain and clown!

This guy is pure evil. In conventional cognition, after villains do evil, there will be some explanations to explain the motives of bad guys: for example, rocky does evil because he lacks love and wants more attention when he is young, Harvey, a double faced man, does evil because his girlfriend is killed and he is burned, and penguins do evil because he decides to join the gang because he has been discriminated against since childhood.

The clown is different. No one knows why he did bad things. His origin is a mystery, he can't see his true face, and he doesn't even have fingerprints. His belongings are knives and gauze.

He always wants to do something big in Gotham. His favorite things are gasoline and guns. Owning these two things is enough to bring Gotham into chaos.

The clown does bad things without any purpose, just because he thinks the city needs a little high-quality crime.

This is not only reflected in the script, but also incisively and vividly in Hoffman's performance. Mark has not read Hoffman's diary, but it can be imagined that he must regard himself as a clown. At one point, mark doesn't feel cold and afraid. This guy hasn't left since he entered the crew.

No vacation, no rest, he always stays in the crew. Maybe he knows that this is the world. The sign that he can't go out is so obvious.

Michael Kane and Morgan Freeman also saw signs, and they expressed concern about mark in this regard.

Makma vaguely felt that this guy had signs of being possessed. He wanted the film actors to perform brilliantly and incisively, but he was not so black hearted as to die and seek benefits with human life.

However, he has no way to deal with this kind of thing. He has never met such a drama madman. He tossed himself to death and corrected himself to death. Heath and Javier are definitely acting talents. They are also addicted to acting, but they will never be so crazy.

Mark asked, "what should I do?"

"Hiring a psychologist would be a good choice. Hoffman's problem is very serious," Freeman said

Mark made an OK gesture. When drinking afternoon tea in the afternoon, mark asked someone to call Hoffman. First, he praised and affirmed his work with 3000 words, and then expressed concern about his mental state in a roundabout way.

Hoffman said, "I'm fine!"

Mark said: "you stay in the crew all day, have no social activities and no friends, just study the dangerous figure of clown. I admit that your role is extremely successful and amazing than Jack Nicholson's clown, but I'm worried about the complaints of the actors' Union. I appreciate your talent very much. I hope we can cooperate for a long time. If you like, we can be friends."

Hoffman was flattered. He said, "it's my honor, but is it necessary to be a psychologist?"

Mark said, "for my sake, we must throw a meat bun to the actors' Union."

Hoffman said, "OK! I will cooperate with you. " In Mark's capacity, he put down his body and said such words. Hoffman didn't know interest or favor. In view of this, he readily agreed. In fact, he also knew that he had a good time on the set, but when he left the set and didn't work, he was full of great differences and was very helpless. He half pushed Mark's proposal and followed it.
