Made in Hollywood

In Duke's "Batman: Hour of War", the differences between Henry Ducard and Bruce Wayne stem more from ideological differences, which can also be said to be ideological differences. , and ideological issues are often irreconcilable contradictions, especially when dealing with the fallen city of Gotham.

Henry Ducard inherited the consistent purpose of the Shadow Warrior Alliance, believing that evil can only be eliminated, and order needs to be rebuilt on this basis.

But Bruce Wayne believes that Gotham City can still be saved. Although he has become the embodiment of fear, he is not a law enforcement officer, nor will he represent any person or force to deal with those criminals at will.

Batman also formed a basic principle - not to kill.

This principle can restrain Bruce Wayne's power transformed by anger and fear, thereby limiting the hidden problem of violence in the heart, and it can also become a kind of imprisonment.

Everything has two sides.

So, a billionaire, a playboy during the day, becomes the embodiment of fear and justice at night, and seeks justice from the culprits who destroyed the city, including the desire to destroy Gotham, the sinful city. Henry Ducard and the Alliance of Shadow Warriors.

Norman Shearer and Brad Miller, like other audience members in the theater, stared intently at the big screen. Ring: The Return of the King undoubtedly has a certain gap, but it is undoubtedly the most outstanding work in the Batman series.

It is not only the plot setting, but also the various props in the film.

Unlike the four Batman films in the 1990s, the tools used by Bruce Wayne are not too exaggerated and sci-fi, and are closer to real technology, even the Batmobile. More on display is wildness and power.

Watching the Batmobile on the screen rampage, whether it is on the road or the roof, it is like walking on the ground, plus the muscular shape, there are many "cool" sounds in the theater.

"This is the Batmobile for Bruce Wayne."

Even the older Brad Miller expressed such emotion.

Norman Hiller echoed his words. Said, "I really want to have a car like this, this is the Batmobile!"

From the publicity before the film's release, Norman Miller knew that the Batmobile would go on sale after the film was released, but the minimum price of more than one hundred thousand dollars was not something he could afford.

"Why did Duke choose this shape of the Batmobile?"

Irene Lauder frowned and asked in a self-muttering manner. Scarlett Johansson, who is an industry insider, explained in a low voice, "The action style of the film follows the line of wild power, and the Batmobile must conform to Bruce Wayne's style design."

"It's true." Erin Lauder nodded.

If you follow the fighting style of Bruce Wayne in the film, the Batmobile is designed as a sports car. How awkward would that be.

In Chicago's classic theater, "Batman: War Hour" has reached the final decisive stage, and "Kingdom of Kingdom" is far away in Los Angeles because of the time difference. The premiere screenings have only just begun.

Chrissy, who became an epic fan from watching The Lord of the Rings, also sat in the theater for the premiere of "Kingdom of the Kingdom".

He had previously led protests against Duke's adaptation of the Lord of the Rings trilogy. But the power and splendor of the trilogy directly transformed him into a Duke fan, but in his heart he liked more epic movies, although after The Lord of the Rings watched a series of epics such as "King Arthur" and "Alexander the Great" bad movie. But still have great interest in "Kingdom of Heaven".

So instead of opting for the premiere of "Batman: Hour of War" in Chicago, he attended the premiere of "Kingdom of Kingdom" in Los Angeles.

However, this film is not much better than the admittedly bad films such as "King Arthur" and "Alexander the Great". After watching less than a quarter of it, Clichy yawned continuously.

If it is just himself, it may be a matter of personal appreciation, but as far as Chrissy can see, most of the audience's attention is not fully focused on the film, some people are eating popcorn, some people are drinking Coke , some were stretching, some were whispering, and some even closed their eyes and seemed to fall asleep.

As the screening progressed, Chrissy felt that the film was boring.

There are traces of imitating the Lord of the Rings trilogy in many places in the film, which is understandable. After all, after Duke's Lord of the Rings trilogy, almost all epic war movies imitate him, but the imitation of "Kingdom of the Kingdom", It's really not much successful, especially the most important war scene in this type of film, which looks very chaotic.

Perhaps the real battlefield is chaotic, but most audiences, including Clichy, don't want to see the war in the film is also chaotic, so what's the fun of watching movies?

Then there is the actor, Orlando Bloom was made popular by Duke with the role of Legolas, but left the director who made him popular, and his own flaws were exposed.

In Clichy's view, Orlando Bloom is still suitable for a male vase role like Legolas. It is really a bit inferior to play the male lead in this film. If it is replaced by a more manly actor, the role A true hero, "Kingdom of Heaven" may be called an epic, rather than a young Werther's troubles.

Even under the not-so-splendid performance of the other actors, he was one of the stars in the moonlight.

If nothing else, just in the choice of actors, you can see the gap between Ridley Scott and Duke.

It was a really painful viewing experience.

Chrissy confirmed this without hesitation, and the best way to end this pain is undoubtedly to stay away.

Even though the screening wasn't over, and even though it took a lot of effort to get tickets for the premiere, Chrissy decided not to endure it any longer, and this boring movie wasn't worth it.

"Feel sorry……"

He stood up with a cat on his waist, "Can you let me pass?"

The man gave Krish a puzzled look and suddenly asked, "Are you going to leave the stage?"

Hearing his words, Krishna nodded lightly, the man did not move away, but stood up like him.

"I'm leaving too," he said.

Just when the man's voice fell, several people around stood up one after another, followed Krish's footsteps, and walked out along the passage, obviously not interested in continuing to watch.

Entering the corridor leading to the exit, with the help of the light on the screen, Chrissy discovered that it was not only them who had left the stage. In the place where other ordinary audience members were sitting, there were also many people walking out back and forth, and even Some seats in the back row were completely empty, and it was obvious that someone had left the stage earlier.

Shaking his head, even if he is not a professional, Krishna can vaguely guess that this epic war film called "Kingdom of Heaven" is probably not much better than the endings of "King Arthur" and "Alexander the Great".

What's more...

When he walked out of the theater, he couldn't help but glanced east. In far-off Chicago, Duke's film was premiering, and Twentieth Century Fox and Ridley Scott even took such a film, which is similar to "Batman: When the War Hour" collided, the odds of winning were really infinitely low.

Although the Batman series is also terrible, in the hearts of die-hard Duke movie fans like Chrissy, "Batman: War Hour" is no worse than the "Kingdom of Heaven" just watched.

After the Lord of the Rings trilogy fell in love with Duke's style of director, Krishna had watched all of his films, and even the worst response, "Hundred Thousand Fires", was several times better than "Kingdom of Heaven".

Withdrawing his gaze to the east, several people who had left the stage early passed by him. The voices of these people's discussions inevitably reached Krishna's ears.

"What kind of rubbish is this?"

"If it weren't for the Lord of the Rings trilogy, perhaps this film could be called an epic..."

"I'm so lucky, I fell asleep from boredom within ten minutes of watching the movie."

"Orlando Bloom's departure from Duke was really horrible."

More and more people came out of the theater. Clichy stood here for only a few minutes, and more than 20 people walked out one after another. For the premiere of an epic blockbuster with an investment of more than 100 million US dollars, this is not enough. Really unimaginable.

In the theater, Ridley Scott's face was ashen. Even if he didn't see it with his own eyes, he heard the people next to him talk about what happened in the ordinary auditorium in the back row. For a well-known director, this was almost a kind of insult.

Dozens or even hundreds of spectators exit at the premiere, what an embarrassing scene.

He originally wanted to use this epic masterpiece to compete with the directors at the top level in the industry, but this competition has not really begun, and he is afraid that he will lose.

Are you willing? Of course not reconciled.

Ridley Scott couldn't help turning his head to look at the place where the executives of Twentieth Century Fox were sitting. If it weren't for them, how could Kingdom of Heaven become what it is now? It becomes a story that is almost different from what I imagined...

But he knows that he is unwilling and has no choice. How can a mere director fight against the entire system of the Hollywood industry?

In the whole of Hollywood, the directors who can get the final editing rights in each of their films can be counted on one hand, and Duke Rosenberg is undoubtedly one of them.

After all, there is a gap between himself and him!

Ridley Scott had to admit that, no matter his status, works or box office, he and Duke Rosenberg were not directors of the same level at all. (To be continued ~^~)
