Chapter 704 The Meaning of Movies

"Sarah, why are you back?" Lewis noticed Sarah Merton's return while applauding.

Sarathi Merton also complained: "How can you watch such an ugly and depressing movie?"

"I disagree," Lewis said in defense of The Dark Knight. "On the contrary, I think it's a brilliant film, and I give it a perfect 10."

Saradi Merton curled her lips and said, "Forget it. For little Gilbert's sake, I won't give you any rating."

It is normal for Saradi Merton to have such emotions. For a movie like The Dark Knight, people who like it like it very much, and people who don't like it just can't like it at all.

After the film screening, it is time for the media and the audience to interact.

The reporter from the Los Angeles Times first asked: "Director Gilbert, how did you create and define the hero Batman?"

Gilbert Jr. replied: “I think Batman is more human than divine, closer to realism, and looks like a real hero in our real society.

This is why I like Batman more than Superman. People can be defined, and so can heroes. "

A reporter from The Washington Post asked Christian Bale: "Chris, as an actor, you have played Batman twice in noisy superhero movies in a row. Are you satisfied with this type of role?"

The subtext is that you are an actor who can only act in superhero movies, how come you have no ambition at all? You should play a mental patient and act in independent films.

But most actors in the world would choose superhero movies rather than independent films if given the opportunity.

Christian Bale seemed not to hear the subtext, but thought and answered seriously.

“When I was discussing with director Gilbert how to tell a complete story, I was thinking about giving Bruce Wayne’s Batman a complete story.

In fact, by the second film, I think Batman still needs a story to fill the gap. If it were a trilogy, I think it would be perfect.”

At this point, Christian Bale looked at Gilbert Jr. and said, "I think if there is a third film, it must still be directed by Gilbert Jr.

I can't imagine what this series would be like without Gilbert Jr. as director.

I would go on to play Batman, and I remember very clearly that on the day the film started shooting, a little boy saw me in a grocery store.

He didn’t look more than five years old and he came over and hugged me, which was very touching.

I hugged him back, and he looked up at me and said, 'You're my hero,' and from that moment on I knew that playing Batman was not just a job, it was a great choice in my life."

What is a great movie? Everyone has their own set of standards. But the generally accepted view is that a great movie is one that can generate great spiritual power and influence the real world.

Christian Bale refuted The Washington Post's question about why he played Batman with one sentence.

A kid thinks I'm a superhero and that I bring him spiritual strength. That's enough, no need to talk about it anymore.

The fans at the scene applauded for this answer. The reporter from The Washington Post failed to find fault and could only applaud and acknowledge that Christian Bale said it well.

Batman is the focus, and the Joker is not bad either.

Heath Ledger shared his experience of playing the Joker: "I had a lot of fun and it was very enjoyable.

I think the Joker is a really good character and I just did what I was supposed to do.”

Nicolas Cage also said: "In fact, I think Batman, the Joker, and Harvey Dent are all the same person. All three are idealists, but their ideals are different. Harvey Dent's own tragedy is also caused by his failure to achieve his ideals and his fall.

I love this character and I'm grateful to Gilbert Jr. for inviting me to play Harvey Dent."

The interview and interaction lasted about half an hour, and Gary Oldman, Jennifer Connelly, Michael Caine, Morgan Freeman and others shared their feelings about participating in the film.

Finally, Gilbert Jr. concluded: "When people discuss a superhero movie, I don't want to hear about how the fighting is good, the explosions are cool, and how good the special effects are.

I hope to hear people spontaneously discuss the logic of the characters' behavior, their motivations, their goals, to explain justice and evil, fear and strength, power and restraint.

And the ultimate proposition I want to explore is: How should a person change the world?

I think the day is not too far away when Batman will end up as a trilogy."

Lewis heard this and stood up and asked Gilbert Jr.: "Director, will Heath Ledger's Joker return?"

"Yeah, will the Joker return for the third film?"

The audience is also concerned about this issue, mainly because the Joker is so well acted. During the movie, the audience can't help but be attracted by the Joker, which is a charming character.

Little Gilbert smiled and said, "Maybe. You will know after the third part."

In fact, the Joker will not return, as the Joker has already reached his peak in the second film. If he returns in the third film, it will be a Joker bilogy, not a Batman trilogy.

It was rumored in the past that if Heath Ledger had not died, he would have participated in the third film. But Gilbert Jr. felt that Nolan had the same idea as himself and would not let the Joker return in the third film.

So the villain in the third episode will still be Bane, of course, the actor will be changed.

Although Tom is good, his height and body shape are his drawbacks. Dwayne Johnson is OK, his height and body shape give him a strong sense of oppression, and he is obviously an opponent that Batman cannot beat.

But these are all things to be discussed in the third film. Now it's time for "The Dark Knight".

After the premiere, fans were anxious because they had to wait a day before they could see "The Dark Knight" in theaters.

After the audience left, James Cameron and George Lucas separately approached Gilbert Jr.

James Cameron is concerned about the use of IMAX technology: "You have accumulated rich experience in using IMAX for us. I increasingly feel that it is right to use IMAX in Avatar."

Gilbert Jr. smiled and said, "I think you are the one who will really change the film creation. I think the 3D effect of Avatar will shock the world and you will set a new record."

"No," James Cameron emphasized, "It's you and I who are setting the record together."

Although Gilbert Jr. did not participate in the production of "Avatar", James Cameron believed that he would not have the opportunity to bring "Avatar" to the big screen without Gilbert Jr.'s support.

In fact, Gilbert Jr. is also waiting for the release of "Avatar". In the future remake plan, the "Lord of the Rings" series will be remade in 3D.

If "Avatar" does not allow the audience to experience the charm of 3D movies, there is no point in remaking the 3D version of "The Lord of the Rings".

In addition, Peter Jackson has decided to use 3D technology to produce "The Hobbit" series. He believes that the 3D effect will make the film look very charming.
