In the screening room.

The big screen flickers in and out, but the overall tone of the film is dark.

That’s all.

It’s not that the audience can’t accept movies with dark themes, such as”Batman Trilogy” and”Joker”, but they can’t accept boring and lengthy plots.

The next plot is like this:

Clark wants to report on Batman, but the editor says, no way, you report the ball game honestly, blah blah blah…

Lex found it from the crashed Kryptonian reconnaissance ship He acquired a piece of kryptonite. As a victim of the Black Zero incident, he chose a path close to destruction (killing gods) to create what he thought was a better human world. Blah blah blah blah.…….

Batman punishes evil and promotes good in the city, and everyone praises him, blah blah blah…

Superman also punishes evil and promotes good,”707″, but in the process the damage to the city is a bit big, and everyone starts to hate it. Superman, blah blah blah…

Clark flirts with his girlfriend, blah blah blah…

Batman flirts with the butler, blah blah blah…

There are also many hidden metaphors during this period: for example, the CIA is trying to eradicate criminals. The Romy forces used Jimmy Olsen as a photographer to find out the warlord’s hideout. The mercenaries sent by Lex to”assist” the warlord revealed Jimmy’s true identity to everyone and killed him.

After locating Jimmy’s tracker, the CIA fired missiles at Neromi despite the presence of Lois and dozens of Neromi villagers, but was stopped by Superman who arrived.

Before Superman rescued Lois from Amaza, Lex’s mercenaries betrayed and shot the warlord and burned him along with the corpses of the villagers, making it appear that Superman was using his heat vision to attack civilians indiscriminately in order to rescue Lois.

Except for the mercenaries who committed the crime, only the CIA knew the whole story. In order to cover up the fact that it bombed Neromi indiscriminately, the CIA acquiesced in the rumor that”Superman killed civilians”. This also satirized the actual actions of the American government in the war on terrorism. do.

Another example is Lex coercing Neromi villager Cassina to give perjury testimony against Superman in Congress, deliberately inducing humans to believe that Superman is a potential dictator.

The visual structure of this scene completely corresponds to the oil painting”Pilate Judgment of Jesus”.

“Zack Snyder indeed compared Superman to Jesus. This trial plot is a metaphor for Pontius Pilate listening to the evil people’s slander and asking to judge Jesus. Sophia said.

Martin nodded,”The picture is very good and the undertones are very good, but it has no effect on the plot. In fact, these five minutes of plot can be covered in thirty seconds.””

There are also the graffiti”The End is Nigh” on Gotham highway billboards, and people burning Superman figures after the Capitol bombing.

This is Zack Snyder’s tribute to his movie”Watchmen”》,”Rorschach” Walter Cogwarts (the character in”Watchmen”) held up a”The End is Nigh” sign on the street. He became increasingly withdrawn and irritable after investigating the kidnapping of a toddler in 1957.

Keene Act After it came into effect, Wart Cogwarts was accused of being a criminal for refusing to”retire”. The people hated them (the Watchers), burning their figures in parades and shouting for the Watch to get out of their city..

Then there is the police number”DC27″ of the two Gotham patrol officers, and the alarm address is”1939 Harborway Street”, which corresponds to the first chapter of”Detective Comics” (now DC) where Batman was born in 1939. Issue 27

“The names of Officers”Mazzucchelli” and”Rucka” come from DC artist David Mazzucchelli and screenwriter Greg Rucka.

The obvious”52″ logo in the football game pays tribute to the”New 52″ series in the comics. Fu’s military background pays homage to the main universe after”Crisis on Earth”.

Another interesting detail is that after composer Hans Zimmer played the Superman theme song”An Ideal of Hope” he composed in”Man of Steel” backwards, Lex’s BGM”TheRedCapesAreComing” has been completed, and the tone and speed have been slightly adjusted to give it a more eerie and depraved feel.

Also, the Superman statue is inspired by the Detroit Spiritual Sculpture, and the Heroes Park is inspired by the 9/11 Memorial. Square.

During the Black Zero incident, the Upper East Side of Metropolis was razed to the ground by a Kryptonian reconnaissance ship. To commemorate the disaster, the American government established a Heroes Park here.

The Superman statue is located in the center of the Heroes Park, and the wall monument on the back of the statue is like the 9.11 monument. It is engraved with the names of the victims. While commemorating the victims, it also comforts Superman’s emotions……….

In the eyes of supporters of the”Superman Threat Theory” such as Lex Luthor and Wallace Keefe, the government’s construction of Superman statues promotes the people’s blind worship of false gods.

The Superman in the statue kneels on one knee, without any sense of intimidation from a god, holding the sky in his left hand, and humbly reaching out to mankind with his right hand.

It symbolizes that Superman is the bridge between divinity and humanity, and how to master the balance between divinity and humanity is the primary issue that Superman needs to face.

I have to say that Zack Snyder has a lot of ideas, but did he not consider the audience’s feelings when he packed so many things into the movie?

Look at the drowsy audiences in the theater. They don’t care at all about the deep meaning of the movie. They are here to be entertained. Otherwise, why would they choose to watch a comic book movie?

“Again, there can be metaphors and deep meanings, but they must serve the plot.”Martin said

“Just like”Joker”》?”Sophia playfully added

“Yes, just like”Joker”》”Martin laughed.

At this time, Zack Snyder also felt something was wrong, because the audience was going to the toilet too frequently, which was not a good sign.

And Henry Cavill, the actor who plays”Superman” sitting in the back row, looked even more unhappy. He actually heard the sound of 5.1 snoring from behind.

《The box-office failure of”Man of Steel” has already put him under great pressure. If this movie fails again… he doesn’t dare to think deeply about it.

Ben Affleck, who plays Batman, sitting next to him, also noticed that the audience was a little distracted and worried, but he was fine, just a little worried.

After all, with the foundation of”Batman Dark Trilogy”, he is now basically regarded as a symbol of Batman by comic fans and fans. The failure of one or two movies cannot affect him.

Even the latest issue of Batman comics is based on his image.

“Don’t worry, Henry, the movie isn’t over yet.”He comforted Henry Cavill in a low voice.
