Chapter 703 The Real Man
Not many audience members left the theater, and the remaining ones had to continue watching the film in the cinema.

The Joker escaped from prison, Rachel died and left a letter for Bruce Wayne, and Harvey Dent degenerated into Two-Face.

During a public taping of a TV show, the Joker announced that he was going to blow up a hospital.

At this critical juncture, in order to give the audience some relaxation, the film also plays a little humor.

"You wanna ride the Batmobile sir?"

"It's broad daylight, Alfred. It's too conspicuous."

"Then drive a Lamborghini. It's low-key enough!"

Just these few words made Lamborghini ecstatic. Before the film was released, Lamborghini gave each of Gilbert Jr. and Christie Bell a latest limited edition sports car.

Little Gilbert had no special interest in sports cars, so he gave it to Ivanka.

The next scene is the Lamborghini running wildly on the road. For this scene, Lamborghini not only waived the cost of building the car for the crew, but also paid an additional sponsorship fee of 5 million US dollars.

By the way, the total investment of "The Dark Knight" was 2 million US dollars, but the film received 4500 million US dollars in sponsorship fees before the filming began.

These sponsors also promised that if the film's box office reaches a certain level, there will be rewards, including those that exceed $500 million, $800 million, and $1 billion in global box office.

It has to be said that Gilbert Jr.'s return to the summer season is not only anticipated by fans, but also by advertisers. Apple paid the most, paying a total of $800 million in sponsorship fees.

The mobile phones, computers and other items that appear in the film are all products of Apple.

In addition, Dior sponsored Bruce Wayne's suits and invited Christian Bale to be the spokesperson for Dior suits, and also paid $100 million in sponsorship fees.

The next scene is even crazier. The craziness here does not refer to the clown blowing up the hospital. It refers to the kind of craziness that the crew actually blew up a hospital for this explosion scene.

Scarlett whispered to Avril Lavigne: "Little Gilbert really blew up a hospital for this scene."

Avril Lavigne covered her mouth and said, "I heard about it, but is it necessary?"

Scarlett's face showed a hint of fanaticism: "Yes, as long as he is making a movie, he always does many things that people think are unnecessary."

Scarlett couldn't help but think of the time when she was five years old and was taken by Sofia to visit the filming site of Little Gilbert's "Speed", and the shock she felt when she saw Little Gilbert blow up a house on the spot.

That was the first time she understood what little Gilbert meant by "explosion is art". Now, times have changed, but the saying "explosion is art" is still very useful.

Those who were able to attend the premiere were basically veteran audiences who were also familiar with the early promotion and publicity of "The Dark Knight".

Of course, most of the audience knew that the hospital bombing scene was real, so they lamented that not only was the drama crazy, but the crew outside the drama was also crazy.

Perhaps only in this way can the movie "The Dark Knight" be qualified to be called a classic by Gilbert Jr.!

Suppressed fear and anger, this is the mood of the audience in Chicago's Kodak Theater. The movie "The Dark Knight" brings alternative sensory stimulation and the film constantly tests the audience.

Soon, the most explosive test in the whole film came. There were bombs on both ferries, and each side held the detonators of the bombs on the other's ferry.

This can be said to be the ultimate test of human nature. The few film critics in the theater were simply delighted, as this just hit their G-spot.

According to the development of the previous plot, someone must have pressed the detonator, otherwise it would not be enough to reflect the evil of human nature.

Many viewers closed their eyes in despair, while others were discussing the situation.

"This shouldn't be the case. Isn't there a good side to human nature?"

"I can't accept it. Once the ship explodes, I will quit."

"Are there any normal people in Gotham? They shouldn't all be psychopaths like the Joker, right?"

Judging from the audience's reaction, if the boat exploded, the audience would probably explode as well. So of course the boat didn't explode. On the criminal's boat, a vicious-looking criminal threw the detonator out. And on the citizen's boat, no one pressed the detonator.

The Joker's test failed, the good heart finally defeated the evil of human nature, and the people of Gotham seemed to have walked out of the Joker's manipulation.

Seeing this scene, applause broke out in the theater for the first time.

The audience cheered and applauded the film. There is no doubt that this scene touched the audience present and did not go to extremes.

Peter is a well-known film critic on the Internet. His heart followed the ups and downs of the plot. The results of the human trial of the two ferries also made Peter and everyone cheer and applaud.

But besides applauding, Peter began to think about the theme and core of the film.

There is no doubt that the theme of The Dark Knight is very simple, which is the battle between good and evil. But the theme is not complicated, but the core is quite complicated.

In the eyes of most people, justice is naturally the stronger the better.

But in fact, evil has the force of law and social morality to fight against it, while justice is on the side of nature, law and social morality, so both have lost their ability to restrain justice.

When unrestrained justice runs rampant, its destructive power is greater than that of restrained evil.

At this time, perhaps only the morality that represents justice can restrain the power of justice itself. Batman is one of them, and he won the personal battle with the Joker.

But the Joker used the Harvey Dent card to win the battle for Gotham's soul, and when Batman rescued Commissioner Gordon's son and took the blame for the murder of Harvey Dent and five police officers, he became the Dark Knight.

Batman won, but the price was that he became a criminal despised by the citizens of Gotham and wanted by the police.

"Dad, why did he run away?"

"Because we have to hunt him down."

"Why? He didn't do anything wrong."

This question from the little child's mouth broke the defenses of Lewis, Peter, and all the audience in the cinema.

Children usually represent innocence and are not as complicated as adults.

Some scholars and experts believe that children represent the most original beauty of human beings, so this sentence spoken by a child, combined with the previous plot, gives the audience a strong emotional impact.

Commissioner Gordon watched Batman limping away from the scene with mixed feelings. He knew that Batman had done nothing wrong, but he had to do it.

“Because he’s the hero Gotham deserves, but he’s not the hero Gotham needs right now, so we’re going to hunt him down.

Because he can bear it, because he is not our hero.

He is the silent guardian, the ever-vigilant defender, he is the Dark Knight."

As Batman rode away on the Batbike, the big screen fell into darkness, and then the title "The Dark Knight" appeared.

All the audience were shocked beyond words by the ending. The theater was silent for what seemed like several minutes, but it also seemed like as long as half a century.

Sarati Merton, who was waiting in the hall, was puzzled. The movie should have ended on time, so why hadn't they come out yet?

She turned back to take a look out of curiosity, and saw the entire audience standing up and applauding. The applause lasted for a long time, dedicated to the movie "The Dark Knight" and its creators.

Little Gilbert led the main creators to the stage to take bows five times before the applause gradually faded.

Sarathi Merton couldn't help but complain: "We have to applaud for such an ugly movie?"

She didn't know what kind of baptism the audience in the theater had experienced during the time she was away...
