Chapter 702: Sporadic audience members leave

The Joker's appearance can be called the best villain's appearance in film history. This appearance is grotesque and terrifying.

Lewis told Saradie Merton: "If this wasn't a Batman movie, I'm sure the Joker would have taken all the limelight away from Batman."

"Indeed," agrees Sarathie Merton. "There has never been a more fascinating film villain, and Heath Ledger's performance is fantastic.

Now I understand why he needs to see a therapist, the Joker is crazy."

The most hyped news before the premiere was that Heath Ledger received psychological treatment because he was too deeply immersed in the role of the Joker and couldn't get out of it.

In fact, Heath Ledger went there to treat drug addiction and headache problems, but this kind of publicity would be more beneficial to "The Dark Knight", so Heath Ledger agreed.

From the bank robbery at the beginning to the magic show of fighting the gangs alone at the end, the Joker's dramatic tension is full. Neither Batman nor Harvey Dent can steal the Joker's limelight. This evil Joker firmly locks the audience's eyes.

Leonardo DiCaprio was sitting in the fourth row of the theater. The action scenes in the film attracted him deeply. He also liked the IMAX format, and the impact of the pictures was very strong.

But what attracted him more was the role of the Joker, which was so charming.

At first, Warner Bros. proposed the idea of ​​having Leo play the Penguin, but it was rejected by Gilbert Jr.

At that time, Gilbert joked with Leo and wanted him to play the Joker, but Leo didn't take it seriously.

If he had known that this character would have this effect, Leo would have begged Gilbert to let him play the Joker.

Heath Ledger is so lucky that this role is very easy to play, and it is the kind of role that you can't miss. Leo is really jealous of him.

It's a pity that this is a superhero movie, otherwise it would be no problem for Heath Ledger to win an Oscar for Best Supporting Actor next year.

As technical directors, George Lucas and James Cameron are more concerned about the performance of the film in the IMAX format.

The two observed that when some climax action scenes began, the picture became wider and the details were more numerous and fuller.

The impact of the pictures is very strong, and combined with the specially designed sound effects of the IMAX theater, the audio-visual effects strongly bombard every audience.

The car chase scenes in the tunnel and on the highway are full of climaxes, with very few special effects shots. A large number of real-life shots are presented to the audience through the IMAX big screen.

IMAX's technical director Doug McGrath also attended the premiere. IMAX attaches great importance to the film "The Dark Knight".

Starting with "Batman Begins" and "The Polar Express", IMAX has ambitiously wanted to enter the Hollywood film market.

Unfortunately, after a few years, IMAX technology has not been widely used in Hollywood. Hollywood film companies and directors do not seem to like this technology, which makes IMAX difficult to move forward.

Fortunately, as one of the top directors in Hollywood, Gilbert Jr. is particularly fond of IMAX. The IMAX footage in "The Dark Knight" this time is as long as 70 minutes, the most in history.

Seeing the outstanding performance of "The Dark Knight" in the IMAX theater, Doug McGrath just wanted to cheer and stand up and applaud.

Sure enough, top directors plus IMAX equals: invincible!
If Doug McGrath could sing, he would have been singing by now: How lonely it is to be invincible!
Of course, technology is only an auxiliary means. The foundation of a movie is to tell a good story and shape the characters.

There is no doubt that "The Dark Knight" has achieved top-notch level in terms of technical performance, storytelling and character creation.

Tom Cruise saw the Joker being arrested, and turned to Nicole Kidman and said, "Gilbert Jr. is back for the summer season and brings you a movie like this. It's simply impeccable."

Nicole Kidman agreed: "He is the king of the summer season. Only his movies are worth looking forward to every summer." Saradi Merton has been watching the movie intently. Her heart is always in a knot. She only breathed a sigh of relief when the clown was caught.

So far, the film is within her tolerance range. Although it is heavy, dark and serious, the story is wonderful, and more importantly, the action scenes are very good.

In fact, "The Last of Us" is not a refreshing movie in a sense, but the style of this movie is more healing. Sarathie Merton also likes the scene where Joel violently rescues Ellie in the end.

So Saradi Merton likes "The Last of Us" very much, but she can't accept the style of "The Dark Knight".

It was like walking in a long tunnel with no light and no hope in sight, which made Sarati Merton feel like she was going crazy.

So when she saw the Joker escape from prison with a little trick, she instantly wanted to leave. She seemed to have anticipated what kind of story would happen next.

As expected, the Joker took the gang's accountant away and gave Batman a difficult choice: save Harvey Dent, the bright knight of Gotham, or save Rachel, his childhood sweetheart.

In the end, Batman decided to save Harvey Dent, but watching Rachel being engulfed in flames, Gotham's bright knight suffered a serious physical and mental breakdown, his faith collapsed, and under the instigation of the Joker, he eventually became Two-Face.

"I don't want to watch it anymore," Saradie Merton said to Lewis.

"What's wrong?" Lewis turned around and asked.

Sarathi Merton didn’t want to see it on the big screen: “It didn’t match my expectations, I thought it was a very refreshing superhero movie.

But I didn't expect Gilbert Jr. to make this movie so heavy and dark. It's so unlike a superhero movie, so crazy, I can't stand it."

Lewis was helpless, and he couldn't force this situation, so he said, "Then you go wait for me outside, and we'll go have a cup of coffee together later."

"Okay." Saradi Merton picked up her small bag and left the theater.

She found that she was not the only one who left the theater. Five or six other people left the theater with her. Several people discussed the reasons for leaving the theater, and the conclusion was that the movie did not make people happy at all.

"Why would Gilbert Jr. make such a heavy movie? It makes my blood pressure rise."

"Yeah, clowns are really scary. I don't deny that the movie is good, but it's just not the style I like to watch."

"I don't think it's good at all. A few car chases are good, but I can't be happy at all."

"This movie should have been rated R, not PG-13."

The last sentence was obviously said from a parent's perspective, but the most unanimous opinion among the fans who left the theater was that the theme of "The Dark Knight" was too heavy and depressing, and it was not fun to watch it.

The assistant quickly reported to Gilbert Jr. that a fan had left the theater, but Gilbert Jr. was not surprised at all.

"Is it okay if some fans leave?" asked Jennifer Connelly.

“It doesn’t matter,” Gilbert Jr. said, “I had it in mind when I made the movie.

This "The Dark Knight" can be said to be a CUT film among superhero movies. It is normal that those who like light-hearted movies do not like it. "

The style of the film is bound to discourage some viewers, which is inevitable and Gilbert Jr. had anticipated this.
