After reading the script of Gravity, Anne Hathaway asked Gilbert Jr. very doubtfully: "Will the Academy like such a simple plot?"

Gilbert Jr. said: “Don’t look at the simplicity of the story, look at its spiritual core.

If the role was played by a male actor, it would be at most a mediocre space escape story with nice graphics. But if it was played by a female actor, it would have a different meaning.”

Anne Hathaway said she understood: "In most people's eyes, men represent strength and rationality, while women represent weakness and sensibility.

It would not be surprising if a man escaped.

But the fact that a woman managed to escape is something worth writing about.”

"Yes."

Gilbert nodded and said, "That's why I think this film has a chance of winning an Oscar."

Having said that, Gilbert's main job at the moment is still the filming of "The Dark Knight Rises".

There is a scene at the beginning of the film where Bane hijacks a CIA transport plane. This high-altitude scene is very exciting and was shot with a combination of real shots and model shots.

Before filming, the crew conducted several simulation experiments with dummies to ensure safety. But even so, the absolute safety of the actors could not be guaranteed.

In some thrilling scenes, Gilbert Jr. still used dummies as substitutes, and even did not use a stuntman.

This scene was filmed in Canada, allowing the actors who were acting in Gilbert Jr.'s film for the first time to see what it means to be a real-life shooter.

The crew first used an EMB-110 twin-engine propeller plane as the CIA aircraft, and then used a C-130H Hercules transport aircraft as the aircraft of Bain's mercenaries to shoot this scene.

The front half of the plane was dropped in Canada, creating quite a horrific scene.

Before being dropped, the scene where the EMB-110's wings and tail were broken off was filmed in the studio using a 1:5 model.

The scenes inside the cabin were shot using the rotating corridor device left over from the filming of "Inception". The effect is very realistic after some modification.

Rachel McAdams was so surprised when she saw the crazy device and heard that the crew crashed a plane in Canada.

Even though it was an empty shell of a scrapped plane, it was still a plane!

Rachel McAdams just felt that the budget was burning, and her reputation as a real-life shooting fanatic was well-deserved.

She asked Morgan Freeman: "Wouldn't it be easier to do it with special effects? Is it necessary to do this?"

Morgan Freeman smiled and said: "This is the secret of Gilbert Jr.'s dominance in Hollywood. There are not many people like him in Hollywood.

In order to pursue better visual effects, more exciting dramatic conflicts and dramatic tension, I chose to shoot the film in this way. "

Rachel McAdams expressed her admiration, saying that it was no wonder that David Ellison could not beat Little Gilbert. He lacked some of the crazy qualities of Little Gilbert, so he always felt that he was one step behind.

However, the scene that impressed Rachel McAdams the most was not this, but a scene with Anne Hathaway.

To be honest, Rachel McAdams is very jealous of Anne Hathaway. Although Miranda Tate's role is good, it is obvious that Catwoman's role is more outstanding.

Warner had previously suggested letting Harley Quinn appear. If another Harley Quinn appeared, it would become a three-woman show.

But Gilbert Jr. did not adopt this idea. He thought that if Harley Quinn was included, the film would become too cartoonish and far from the production direction of a realistic police and gangster film.

Miranda Tate was unable to steal the limelight from Catwoman, and Anne Hathaway's performance was also very wonderful.

Catwoman brought Bruce Wayne's fingerprints to trade, but the trade partner turned against her. Fortunately, Catwoman was prepared and used a little trick to make the SWAT rush in. Then she began to show her amazing acting skills, screaming like a frightened ordinary girl. The SWAT was also confused by her performance, so they ignored her and went to chase the escaped person.

After the SWAT left, Catwoman's triumphant smile and cautiousness really gave off the feeling of a cunning cat.

Anne Hathaway's performance is very, very good and eye-catching. However, in the movie "The Dark Knight Rises", no one can steal the limelight from Christian Bale and Dwayne Johnson.

Dwayne Johnson plays the role of Bane entirely by relying on his exaggerated physique.

His huge muscles, fists bigger than sandbags, and ferocious mask made him look as scary as a demon from hell.

Assistant director Anne Burton's husband brought their two daughters to visit the crew. When the little daughter saw Dwayne Johnson's appearance, she was immediately scared and burst into tears.

Dwayne Johnson was embarrassed and wanted to hug the child, but his little daughter cried even harder. Dwayne Johnson had no choice but to yell, "Don't cry."

The little girl finally stopped crying, but it was obvious that she was not coaxed into crying, but was frightened.

It is said that when Anne Burton went back home to coax her children, she used Dwayne Johnson to scare them: "If you cry again, the big bad guy Bane will come."

When the little daughter heard about the big bad guy Bane, she immediately stopped crying and making a fuss.

From this, we can see how terrifying Bane played by Dwayne Johnson is just from his appearance. He is full of oppression and is like a devil.

Christian Bale's Batman is simply the charm of the character.

There's no way around it. This is a Batman movie after all, and he naturally attracts the audience's attention.

The Batman in this series has taken off his divine cloak and is more humane. He can feel pain and confusion, and he can also face enemies he cannot defeat.

But the human side makes Batman more down-to-earth and more charming.

The previous Batman was handsome, but you would feel that this was not a character that would appear in reality. But this version of Batman makes you feel that there would be such a person in reality.

The concretization of Batman's image is perhaps the most successful aspect of this trilogy.

There is a scene in the film where Batman makes a comeback after eight years, but this comeback does not seem to be smooth and he becomes the target of the police.

As all the police cars surrounded him and the lights of the police helicopter shone on him, an emotion like the tragedy of an ancient Greek hero spread through him.

I believe that no one will not be moved by it as long as they have watched the previous "Dark Knight".

The once beloved hero has become a rat that everyone wants to kill.

Christian Bale said that he likes this setting very much, and he thinks that this version of Bruce Wayne's character arc and story line are perfect.

The final ending was also what he wanted, and the two of them had the same idea.

After watching the scene, the vice president of Warner Bros. Pictures said to Gilbert Jr.: "There will never be such a perfect superhero movie again."

The vice president expressed regret that Gilbert Jr. would no longer direct DC's superhero movies.

But the situation was irreversible, and Gilbert Jr. did not want to leave a bad impression on Warner. He made this film very carefully, which seemed to show Warner that it was a wrong decision not to cooperate with him.

But the overall situation has been determined and no one can change it.

Maybe one day when we meet again, we will sigh to each other: "It turns out that we had so many good times with each other, but we didn't cherish them well." (End of this chapter)
