277 - Pull the audience into the rhythm they are good at

The cinema suddenly became very quiet, and the old projector made a dim and yellow light, hundreds of people focused on the curtain at the same time.

The first opening animation is always Warner Bros.'s icon full of historical precipitation, several old studio houses, which have become classic symbols in the shape of shields, and the eternal piano background music.

A few seconds of animation slipped past, and then suddenly the screen was black, with two huge DC letters appearing. Then it was already familiar to the movie fans, with a line of letters that were already familiar to them, "Wayne Greenberg's work!"

Since Hollywood entered the 1990s, once these three opening symbols appeared, it meant that a fine movie appeared, and it also meant that another fan carnival appeared. The name Wayne Greenberg is the symbol of the conscientious movie in the eyes of today's popular movie fans.

The darkness faded on the big screen, and the movie officially began. On the dark background of the entire screen, it turned into the dusk after sunset. The camera's perspective suddenly pulled into the sky. In the dusk, groups of bats flew past and formed a huge bat, which is the classic Batman logo.

Before the story began, the video clearly told the audience that this movie was about the birth of Batman.

In the end, the group of bats slowly moved away, forming the name of this film: Batman begins, which is "Batman: The Moment of War"!

Wayne has always felt that this translation name can interpret the core of this film better than the Mystery of the Warriors, and is more in line with the Batman first episode that he has modified.

As advertised, under Wayne's lens, "Batman: The Moment of War" is the pioneering work that sets the tone of three dramas. It pursues precise grasp of some of Batman's ultimate problems and uses a nearly allegorical model to tell the audience why this hero is the highest role model in the eighty years since the birth of the superhero.

There is nothing else, that is the so-called "non-kill principle"!

The film turns, and the opening scene is about Bruce Wayne and Rachel in their youth, two childhood sweethearts, playing in the garden, but unfortunately, Bruce Wayne fell into a deserted dry well and fell into a cave underground in the home.

Just as Bruce Wayne was waiting for rescue inside, a group of bats rushed towards him, frightening him to panic. From then on, he had a huge psychological shadow on bats and darkness.

This is very important and is one of the biggest changes in Wayne. When the original Christopher Nolan arrived here, he used the editing method that disrupted the timeline and directly pulled the shot to Bruce Wayne after he became an adult, and then used continuous flashbacks to bring a more exquisite Batman growth story to the fans of that time and space.

But Wayne didn't do that. He directly used the linear narrative editing method he was best at, that is, to unfold the story from beginning to end according to the timeline.

These two methods have their own advantages and disadvantages. Wayne's storytelling method is more suitable for the public movie fans, because this narrative method does not require the audience to use their brains. As long as you follow the video and don't have to think carefully, you can understand what the director wants to say.

The reason for doing this is very simple, that is, to expand the audience group, even children can understand it at a glance.

Why was Marvel so powerful? No matter whether Marvel's superheroes are childish or young, even if saving the earth is like a primary school student's appointment, it is because of its simple plot line that allows more groups to understand, and that incredible box office bursts out every time.

Of course, Wayne could not go to Marvel's young style, but he could still make the story simple and easy to understand and restrain his desire to show off his skills.

The film continues to be screened. After Bruce Wayne, Jr. fell into a dry well, his kind father Thomas Wayne carried him up and told the sentence that affected Bruce Wayne's life:

"Why do we fall? Because this way we can learn to stand up!"

Obviously, the young Bruce Wayne didn't understand this truth, and the bats and the shadow of darkness were lingering in his head.

After the film, we briefly explain the identity and background of Thomas Wayne. Old Thomas is equivalent to the richest man in Gotham City. In Wayne's version of Batman, Thomas Wayne is a complex character, with a very high reputation and fame on the one hand, and a capitalist character on the other.

In Gotham City, where the "simple folk customs" were "intimate", the people at the bottom were embarrassed several times, and they were all supported by Thomas Wayne alone. So he built an elevated railway train, connecting the entire city, and the center directly connects to Gotham City's symbolic Wayne Building.

Old Thomas wanted to use this method to reconnect people from all walks of life and restore Gotham City to life.

But while the camera continued to advance, all the audience remembered the previous work "The Joker". Through the previous work's background to Old Thomas, everyone understood that this was a complex capitalist. The hardships of the people at the bottom of Gotham City were more or less related to him, but he also had a kind heart.

After that, the plot entered a familiar point. Wayne's family appeared in the theater to watch opera. The people in the theater were wearing suits and tie, but outside the window was in chaos.

This is obviously the ending of "The Joker" and is also the starting point of the Batman story.

During the performance, Bruce Wayne, who saw the demon-like bat shape on the stage, recalled the fear of groups of bats again, and a look of pain appeared on his little face.

"Excellent setting!" Bella Grant, who was sitting in the media area, couldn't help but sigh when he saw the opera. Excluding the identity of a well-known journalist and editor-in-chief, she has always been a senior film viewer, and the job of a journalist and editor-in-chief has brought her good knowledge.

The photographer sitting next to her turned his head and didn't understand why the opera in the film became a wonderful setting. In his eyes, this was just a point of origin that set off the story.

Moreover, no one in North America knew about the story of Batman's parents being killed, so he turned his head in confusion and looked at his old partner. "What does it mean?"

Bella Grant rolled his eyes, moved his upper body closer to him, pointed his finger at the opera on the big screen, and used a sound that only the two of them could hear to popularize the movie-watching knowledge for his companions.

"The opera that appears in the film is called "Mephistopheles", which is a famous opera in Bottoi, Italy. The plot is adapted from the eternal classic "Faust". It tells the story of the elderly Faust who reached a devil's deal with the devil Mephistopheles and became a young Faust wandering around the world."

"My God." The photographer looked at her in surprise. "I didn't expect you to know so much, but what does this have to do with the movie? I don't understand why Wayne gave a background opera, so many shots."

"Shut up." Bella Grant shouted softly, glanced at his ignorant partner, and continued: "The next one is the important one. The opera that is being performed now is the second act of "The Night of the Feast of the Devils".

Well, to put it bluntly, the devil ascended the throne, and the demons were celebrating to make way for Mephistopheles. Pay attention to the devil’s shape, Wayne deliberately visualized it, what do they look like?”

The photographer blurted out a word. "Bat?"

"That's right." Bella Grant said excitedly: "Wynn deliberately lets the devil and the bat merge into one in order to arouse Bruce Wayne's fear and add persuasion to the origin of the story."

As soon as she finished speaking, little Bruce Wayne on the big screen was so scared that she couldn't stand it and began to beg her father to leave early.

Seeing this, the beautiful editor proudly raised the corners of her mouth, and she knew that she had analyzed it correctly.

She was still a little disappointed with the beginning of the film until now, thinking that Wayne told the story too shallowly in order to take care of more movie fans' viewing experience.

But after this scene, she realized that Wayne Greenberg had not changed. She not only had a storyline to take care of the popular movie fans, but also gave movie fans who like to explore art to excite.

Basically every type of movie fans can find the director's sincerity in the film, and the overall dark photography style of this film does not disappoint the hardcore movie fans who like his personal style at all.

"This movie combines business and art just right!"

The photographer never understood the excitement of the beauty editor. Seeing her a bit nervous, she shook her head and continued to focus on the movie.

The following is a classic shot. After Wayne's family came out of the back door of the theater, they walked in the alley and were suddenly called out. "Hey, Wayne! You are suffering from the consequences!"

When the old Thomas family turned around, a man in a clown mask pointed his gun at them, and two gunshots made Bruce Wayne orphans.

"At least I understand here. Isn't this the scene at the end of "The Joker"?" the photographer mumbled, and an expression of sudden enlightenment appeared on his face.

Not only him, but almost all the fans at the audience looked the same. Who hasn't watched "The Joker" several times that the fans who watched the premiere here?

This is a classic scene. No matter any Batman movie or comic, there is a similar scene. Bruce Wayne, a little girl, watched her parents be killed with her own eyes.

Here, in order to undertake "The Joker", Wayne did not design the most circulated robbery method, but instead put a clown mask on the shot and murderer.

However, in this scene, Wayne still retained several essential elements that will appear. "Wallet", "alley", "coat", "pistol", and "broken pearl necklace"!

So, in the heart of Bruce Wayne, this tragedy was caused by his request to leave early, and he believed that he had killed his parents.

This also made him bear the unforgettable grief and trauma. This tragic memory and his fear were intertwined and turned into an area of ​​shadow that he had never erased in his heart, following like a shadow.

Not to mention veteran film critics and media, even ordinary movie fans who are watching movies at this moment can experience the pain of Bruce Wayne Jr. Because of Wayne's special design and connection with "The Joker", all movie fans began to fall into the rhythm of the story he is best at.

That is to pull the audience into the world of the protagonists of the film, and let the audience experience everything that Wayne has compiled.

The director who has achieved this effect by telling stories through movies is only one of Wayne in Hollywood, which is a master mark that he cannot erase!
