@@burlapsack1418 its more like when he decided to become batman he left behind his biggest fear, of bats. and now when he must climb out without the rope, the fear returns to him.
The Pit is actually a reimagining of the Lazarus Pit, where people who bathe in its regenerative waters regain their strength and youth. Here, Bruce reclaims what made him Batman in the first place and embraces fear. He emerges from the Pit stronger and determined to save his city.
i like your idea but i always viewed it as this: in the first scene of batman begins, bruce falls into the cave (a pit). he’s terrified of the bats and can’t even try to get out, until his father has to come down and help him out. but bruce never actually left that pit, he’s been stuck there surrounded by bats and darkness his entire life, batman is his only identity because bruce wayne is still stuck in that pit of darkness. but finally, in this scene, bruce wayne overcomes his fear, and makes the climb. he emerges not as batman, but as bruce wayne. he doesn’t need to be batman anymore. he faces bane in the middle of the day as bruce wayne in a batman suit. this is what allowed him to finally move on and live the life alfred always wanted him to
Its such a beautiful scene. Bane says the pit teaches despair, people look to the sky and feel hope, a quality we all need in life. But the reality is that sometimes hope is actually not enough. Sometimes we forget that to hold on to true hope, we must face our greatest fear in its most raw form, more raw than we’ve ever known. We have to live whilst accepting the reality that we will likely fail miserably and end up broken. And it is this journey that will bring out our greatest potential.
I think that's what the rope symbolizes. It's a safety blanket so we don't have to feel afraid. But because we don't feel afraid, we won't reach our greatest potential. So when we strip the safety blanket away, in this case the rope since it will save you from death, we are forced to confront our greatest fears and conquer them. That's why for the longest time, Talia was the only one that escaped, because she didn't have the safety blanket to make her feel safe, and had to confront the fear of death head on. I love how Bruce does the same, and has finally conquered his fear of death and failure, and the guilt he had for years over his parents death. That's why it's called "The Dark Knight Rises."
I simply love how ALL men inside the pit are supporting Bruce throughout his whole attempt to escape. We should not underestimate how powerful is to have people cheering and warmly supporting with a "you can do it!"
While in the pit Bruce realized he valued his own life and regained his “fear of death”. This is the reason why he was able to rise from the pit and now he has been rejuvenated and can now fight longer and harder (much like the Lazarus Pit). Well done Nolan.
The Genius thing about this scene is the rope is not just representing the confort zone that hold you back, it's elso physically as the rope prevent you from jumping too far without pushing you back. You can see this in the previous attempts
@@jakeg3126The rope isn’t tied to anywhere beyond the ledge he has to jump off from. It’s not tied to the top of the well so he can’t climb it to the top.
This is one of the greatest movie scenes in history, Batman entered the pit a broken man, past his prime, lost everything his love his money, everything and once he left the pit of hell he became reborn in a way. whenever life hits you, your girlfriend left you, lost your job, lost your friends or money, no matter how desperate the situation is your heart and courage alone can get you out of anything, and most of all NEVER give up.
The old man didn't jump with the rope and break his back, he is completely blind. Thats why he is not outside with the others while bruce decides to climb without the rope.
@@dashiesbbgurlyea but he’s blind because he fell during the jump and smashed his face against the wall and went blind, but still survived because he was tied with the rope.
You guys are wrong, wrong, wrong. He got erectile dysfunction from his flawed jump. He went blind because one of the bats is a reincarnation of Thomas Wayne who decided to put his bat pecker in the doctors eye to teach him humility.
At first I thought batman is just a billionaire with some tech and some fighting skills. And I always preferred iron man over batman. But the way Christopher Nolan wrote the Trilogy I must say batman's story is the most inspiring and its a true masterpiece.
Batman is the worlds best superhero. This is not because he has powers like superman, tech like iron man, magic of dr fate or speed of flash. He has something stronger his will power. The most awesome thing about batman is how many times you break him in end he always wins. The best superhero ever.
Trilogy starts with bruce falling in cave, which has bats and they frighten him. Trilogy ends when bruce is rising from a cave, which has bats and he frightens them.
1:08 his self-conscious smile always gets me, he simply KNEW he would make it Btw. this scene is so powerful and timeless! Everyday we fight our own battles and sometimes we give up for a little thing, but we are able of such great things! I just love the legacy of this scene
I don't think that it's so much as he knew he would make it, i think he was just accepting that whether he rises or falls, this would be his final attempt and that he wouldn't be living in the pit anymore.
"How can you move faster then possible, fight longer then possible. Without the most powerful impulse of the spirit.... the fear of death" This might be one of the most powerful lines I have ever heard in a film. Brilliant!
No idea why but this scene really inspires me when life is rough, the symbolism that as Bruce did we must sometimes risk it all and pull ourselves out of the well when we are at our most hurt and vulnerable, maybe that’s not how it was intended but it’s how I see it, such a great scene
This isn’t just a scene for me.. its basically my life.. it’s always this part I come back to when I need to be picked up again. I’m 26 years old and this scene always brings tears to my eyes. Not only because Christian bale is one of my favourite actors and my favourite Batman and I’m a MASSIVE Batman fan(I have Batman memorabilia & other collectibles in my room) but mainly for his iron will and his dedication and never giving up. Seeing him stand up out of that pit rising like the warrior he is with Mr. Hans Zimmers music and the prisoners cheering is bloody amazing it gives me chills and its exactly how I felt. Being sick & dying in bed everyday first from destroying my body, and then being sick from healing it, as Batmans was until he was finally ready to make the climb and rise. I like to think that I myself conquered what I did and I also did rise again. I’m no warrior but I battled drug addiction in my life and pretty much lost everything. After highschool, I went from an athlete, a competing promising kickboxer, a basketball player, to a junkie loser. No money no future no desire literally nothing. Couldn’t even save a dime. I was a walking corpse. Nobody wanted anything to do with me. I didn’t either. You can imagine I was called every name in the book and suicidal thoughts were nothing new to me anymore. Talking harshly to myself was nothing new to me anymore. I had a privileged life I had everything I ever wanted and I guess somewhere down the line I took advantage of it and I went from a good kid an athlete, to nothing. Just another junkie loser. Here I was hurting my loved ones but mainly myself the worst way possible. After battling pure hell somehow with the Grace of God one day at a time I’m now almost 3 years clean and sober and I have everything back in my life and more. My family. An amazing fiancé who knows everything about me and wants to be there for me through it all. And I can actually save money now which is a blessing to me like no other. I went to acting school for couple years and got an agent and became an actor so we’ll see what happens with that. I’m now also attending school to become an addiction counsellor. Hopefully I can help the ones like me. And I started a small carpentry business at home making tables/desks since covid started which has been very beneficial for me. But mainly I hope acting and my career as a Therapist works out. Even if not, I can atleast do the things that I want to do now in life and try. And not be trapped in my prison of addiction anymore.. Despite all that I still consider myself a junkie loser who hasn’t really done anything in his life. And I don’t feel like I’ll ever make my parents proud. Facing death and fighting for my life and winning it back from addiction I guess isn’t something this older generation of my Indo Canadian ppl think it’s anything to be proud of.. more like something to be ashamed of. I know I have to talk to myself kinder and that’s something I’m working on. But it’s hard when even now sometimes people who I don’t get along with that well try to judge you for your past mistakes. Calling me a junkie every time there’s a heated argument. Using my past as a weapon. So I just stay away now as I can’t handle that kinda toxicity in my life. It hurts more and does more damage than most will know but it is what it is. Most importantly I just hope to make my family proud, mainly my fiancé and my parents who will hopefully be proud to call me her husband and their son one day. Thats all I really want. That’s all I hope for. Thank you for your time to read this. All the real ones struggling and fighting out there please keep going. One day at a time. You are a warrior like Batman! When he finally rises out of that pit it is exactly how I felt when I finally beat my addiction and saw the world with my clear eyes again. I was rising again. To a better, wiser and stronger me. You Will Also Rise! God Bless You🙏🏼💪🏼🖤
Same feelings Right now Haven't achieved anything but I Promised to not even waste a single day of my life Work Like Hell From now Lets finally face our fears
Incredible story I understand how you feel it really resonated with me thank you for inspiring me! I will look at this comment and reply often when I need to and want to
@One Day You May Happy New Year to you my brother,cheers on going to your 4 years clean. If your children and their kids gonna inherit your will and strength to live,trust me,they cant be more proud of that. Pride doesnt come from the things that you own already,it comes of what you went through to get there. Never forget that.
We all grow up in a pit. The pit of our ego, our hate and our arrogance. Some of us manages to escape that pit and then throw the rope in the pit for others to escape as well. Unfortunately most of the people decides to ignore that help.
You know, I never realized the symbolism of the pit when I saw this the first time. I never realized that this pit was the Lazarus Pit, and when Bruce entered it, he was broken, physically, mentally, and emotionally. He allowed peace to make him weak and that is what allowed Bane to plow him into the ground. He didn’t have the fighting spirit and the will that allowed him to face down criminals with automatic weapons. He allowed the pain that came with the loss of Rachel dying and the humiliation of letting Harvey Dent become a monster turn him into a recluse. By entering the pit, Bruce was able to reclaim the physical strength he once had. He was able to reclaim the mental focus that made it possible to give him purpose in his crusade to save Gotham. And he allowed the fear that once forced him to become Batman in the first place, to enter his heart again, and in that moment, he climbed out of the pit stronger than ever. His vitality returned, his warrior spirit rejuvenated, and his mental focus as sharp as a knife. I never thought that the Lazarus Pit could be used in such a brilliant fashion, but with Nolan, everything is possible.
His soul/spirit had been trapped in that pit/prison a long time before Bane showed up, paralysed and waiting for death. Bane just placed him there physically.
@@l555mat8 How has Bruce’s soul and spirit been trapped in the pit even before Bane came into the picture? This was the first time Bruce was even in the pit.
@@nateborie6329 have you not seen the film? He’s a recluse, he’s not been seen in public for years. When he returns as Batman, Alfred is concerned that he Bruce doesn’t care if he’s going to die or not. The pit is a metaphor
@@l555mat8 The pit is both a figurative and literal place, but Bruce was never there before, during, or after he became Batman. Now, if at any time he trained with Ra's he was taken to the pit to train, maybe some part of him was left there, but I highly doubt it.
@@ironfist7789 the rope is already tied up top. It’s what allows them to lower prisoners & supplies into the pit. Notice the bucket which is tied to the string, and how he just picks up the rope and drops it in.
I learned I'm bipolar It's incurable and gets worse with age I came back to this scene to find the strength to not give up despite the odds. Good luck, friends
1:05 I like that Christopher chose an actor who sounded very much like Michael Caine to be his companion in the Lazarus Pit. Because even though they were worlds apart, Bruce still had an Alfred there with him in some form.
i love the change of tone in the soundtrack at 1:48 it so suits this scene in its true message of resilience and not giving up even if crap hits the fan.
This is my favorite movie scene of all time. The prison sometimes is our own mind. The fear of not knowing if you're going to make it keeps you locked in that prison until you take a leap of faith. The inmates chanting rise is our self conscious digging deep and getting riled up to make the leap. When we preserver we feel ultimate victory and become stronger then we were before. Sometimes we need to be completely broken in order to be rebuilt even better. This scene is powerful metaphor for life and will stick with me forever.
Background score + Direction + Acting = Mindblowing scene. It's been 9 years since "The Dark Knight Rises" released and till now this scene still gives me chills!
i swear this scene hypes me up and the symbolism of it brings tears to my eyes. All of us have that inner hero and we must go through some of the roughest obstacles in life to rise to the occasion 🙏🔥
Saw this with my Mom alongside me on opening night. She passed in '18, but I'm so glad I got to share the moment with her when those bats emerged to guide Bruce. They were waiting for him.
No, Bruce Wayne is a play boy billionaire who is ruthless, Batman is the complete opposite, Bruce Wayne is like that so the world doesn’t find out that Bruce Wayne isn’t Batman
@@semelatifofalism5833 The point, as pointed out in Batman Begins that it is the Bruce Wayne character that is the mask whilst Batman is the person whom he truly is. Its one of the things that makes batman so interesting IMO.
@@semelatifofalism5833 you can say that for the other stuff, but Nolan’s TDK actually has a Bruce Wayne, a Bruce that got his freedom and love. This Bruce is more than Batman.
I have watched this film countless times and this scene never fails to give me goosebumps. Everything about it, from the camera angles, the mounting suspense, the chanting of the prison inmates and Hans Zimmer ingenious, emotionally gripping score. This scene summarizes Bruce Wayne's entire arc. He was once Batman, but was left beaten and broken, physically and mentally at the bottom of this pit, forced to helplessly watch his city suffer. However, despite all his adversity, Bruce never gives up. He rebuilds his body from the ground up and regains his identity as Batman again. The exact moment the goosebumps take hold is when the bats fly out of the crack in the wall. Bruce flinches at first, harkening back to his fear of them as a child, but then he lets them fly around him. At this point, he is Batman in his heart and mind again, even without the suit and gadgets. Once he makes that final, near-impossible jump, the hero of Gotham has returned better than ever before. This is why it is my single favorite scene in the entire Dark Knight Trilogy.
God I love this scene. One of my favourite movie sequences of all time. And I especially love how he drops them the rope at the end, quickly and simply.
Ironic how he gets fear about death back in life and it actually is how he gets over the biggest obstacle of his life that might risk him death. Best scene of all batman cinematic series.
This trilogy and it’s symbolisms… man they can almost make u tear up. Wether u are going through depression or hard times in life, you are symbolically climbing rising and climbing out of your own pit. This was just like when Bruce fell into that well as boy and his father came and saved him. But his father was the safety rope. Now he didn’t have his father, he needed to climb it himself… without the rope. Just like Bruce used fear to strike it into the hearts of criminals he needed to use the fear he had of dying in that pit to motivate him to escape it. The fear of death is the biggest motivator in life, it’s what allowed him to rise.
1:51 is the moment when you have all victoryies and you retired when you are done and then you must have a comeback and you get very badly beaten up but you think it is all over but time geting back and you are making a real big great comeback and rise once again.
@@benchmarkslab2005 because this wasn’t DC this was Cristopher Nolan who gave a personal life to this trilogy Thing that Marvel and Dc should allow more to their directors
I Look At This Scene As A Motivational Moment! The Chills, The Music !! This Scene Is Just Spectacular! Imma Miss Bale And Nolan, So Now I’m Ready For What Pattinson Got Up His Damn Sleeve🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
0:37 it's so unusual to see Bruce plain out broken and hopeless in the most human way possible. He's the Batman and yet he faces true dispair and hopelesness.
@@prateeksingh8815 no this whole sequence was shot in two places and merged into one... The jail scene is actually a "step well" and and the pit is outside the palace....
"Then make the climb. As the child did, without the rope. Fear will find you again." "What does that chanting mean?" "Rise." Goddamn this script is fantastic.
For me this scenes represents my depression a dark abyss of internal pain. Like Bruce Wayne I suffer from the lost of my three family members. I dream of them wishing it was me who died. Ever since my sister pasted away my pain pushed me to become smarter better and I do have my moments in sorrow and pain! I learned so much from a man who doesn’t exist in real life but in my soul he is very real. Funny thing is that my friends called me Batman or Bruce Wayne haha. But In the end it was hell of life !!
today, I'm at the lowest point in life, I'm surrounded by hell lot of problems from all possible directions....this scene perfectly fits my situation and only leap of giant faith with bail me out of this big crisis...and surely I'll find my way out...coz the problems and situations and bad consequences that i faced forged me into much stronger individual physically and most importantly mentally than I was in the past...
I'll never forget seeing this for the first time in the theater. During this scene, everyone in my audience was in complete silence. When Bruce caught the ledge, the audience erupted. I miss movie theater experiences like that.
1:55 a perfect juxtaposition to when he embraced the bats in the batcave in batman begins, this is the moment he truly becomes batman again spiritually
One of the best scenes in the trilogy. I got chills the first time watching it in theater and the doctor said "Then fear will find you again" It was over for the League of Shadows right then and there lol.
Tf is that even supposed to mean? My god, it’s lIke those dumbass circlejerk comments on Star Wars videos where people are like “tHiS iS beTtEr tHaN tHe enTiRe sEQuEl trIlOgy”
This entire sequence was so perfectly written that it could be its own short film. I remember crying when I saw this in theaters, because Nolan so perfectly took the audience (me) and put us in Bruces shoes. At a time in my life I had so many fears and doubts and limitations-all self imposed. It perfectly portrayed a conversation that my mind and heart had daily. Bruce/Batman aside, the Pitt to me represented Heaven+Hell, the climb to me represented my physical body going through the journey of breaking the limitations of my mind and the Rope represents Lack of Faith in God and instead living life in comfort failing to have faith in God and forever being bound by putting faith in the wrong things- The bottom of the Pitt represents Hell, eternal darkness bound by the limitation of your own mind, chained and in a jail cell that you have the power to escape as long as you're able and willing to master your mind and break the bounds that are holding you in your own hell. The top of the Pitt represents Heaven/ Freedom on he journey to breaking your own limitations you'll have to put in work, you'll need to climb to heights that make you uncomfortable having faith in your plan, idea, your calling and that everything you believe in is now in Gods hands because you're climbing with out a rope - without a safety net- you either live or you die trying. Once Bruce is at the peak and at his final objection as high as he can get with out his rope, (your own final objection) the enemy ( I call him Satan) will cast his final objection into scaring you and making you doubt everything you've done to get where you are so that you can fall. Once Bruce faces his fears and has faith and is wiling to die- that is when the miracle happens and the realization, that you never needed the rope in the first place- that freedom took a leap of faith into the discomfort and unknown so that you can grow- Once at the top you're free, once you've overcome those limitations the Panning of Bruce walking into the world represents a world that you can't even IMAGINE because you haven't taken the first step into breaking your limits. When Bruce is having that conversation in his it symbolized his Mind and Heart having an exchange, Bruce being the conscious mind had been lying to himself, he had been avoiding his fears, doubts and limitations- never truly facing them, nor feeling working to overcoming them. His heart knew exactly what he needed to do to escape and reminded him on what exactly he needed to do to escape and once he accepted that, his spirit was rejuvenated- The spirit was represented by the men hyping him up to "RISE". As well as those men also represented different past versions of himself that no longer served him which were also caged and trapped but also craved freedom because they were him. You can actually see that of all the men cheering there was one man that didn't- that was the latest version of Bruce- himself, the one full of doubt, the one full of anger, self pity, and lack of confidence, and living in the past. Bruce managed to put them behind and grow into the person he needed to be to face his challenge and find freedom. It was an amazing sequence that spoke to me in that way and this is why it's my all time favorite. It allowed the audience go through that journey and see Bruce RISE as well as yourself. A physiological breakdown perfectly put together in this sequence. Nothing will top this for me.
And the things we have to overcome to reach where God has called us. And note he made the climb on the third try, which represents completion in the Bible.
This scene tells us one very important thing. Let nothing hold you back. Fear can be a powerful thing for good, but it can also hold you back. Let fear inspire you to great things, not limit you to what you can achieve. All you need is the will and determination to see it through. Even if you think it’s impossible. Rise.
Manic Rhymes The pit was made from scratch which is amazing. But I think he’s talking about when he escapes the pit. I think the area is set in India maybe.
Yes but the scene consist of 2 different locations. The scene where bruce comes to the top of the pit, we can see the Mehrangarh fort in the background. If you search Mehrangarh fort in google maps you can also see the pit's location marked near it. And the inside of the pit scene where we can see the stairs, that scene was shot at Chand Bawri, Step Well, Abhaneri, Rajasthan (India).
This movie certainly isn't perfect but you cant deny the high points, and this scene is an example. There is an absolute, undeniable emotional power to this moment. The blind man's speech, the cinematography, the music, the chanting.... it all culminates into something absolutely stunning.

I love the overt symbolism: As a child his father had to carry him out of the well, but now, as a man, he must carry himself out, Bats and all.
I punched my damn bed wall when I saw the bats flying out recently, I forgot that happened lol.
Great observation. I missed that. Great depth by Nolan. The trilogy is amazing.
Wow! What's a great observation. It never came to my mind. The dark Knight trilogy truly has many philosophical meaning to uncover.
Yep… he doesn’t need to be scared anymore and that is what freed him from his psychological and physical prison
@@burlapsack1418 its more like when he decided to become batman he left behind his biggest fear, of bats. and now when he must climb out without the rope, the fear returns to him.

Wow, never thought of that way. Great interpretation

I Dont Know Everytime I Watch This Scene , I Cry Profusely
Its such a beautiful scene. Bane says the pit teaches despair, people look to the sky and feel hope, a quality we all need in life. But the reality is that sometimes hope is actually not enough. Sometimes we forget that to hold on to true hope, we must face our greatest fear in its most raw form, more raw than we’ve ever known. We have to live whilst accepting the reality that we will likely fail miserably and end up broken. And it is this journey that will bring out our greatest potential.
I couldn’t have said it any better
No one could have said it better kudos to you man 👍
I think that's what the rope symbolizes. It's a safety blanket so we don't have to feel afraid. But because we don't feel afraid, we won't reach our greatest potential. So when we strip the safety blanket away, in this case the rope since it will save you from death, we are forced to confront our greatest fears and conquer them. That's why for the longest time, Talia was the only one that escaped, because she didn't have the safety blanket to make her feel safe, and had to confront the fear of death head on. I love how Bruce does the same, and has finally conquered his fear of death and failure, and the guilt he had for years over his parents death. That's why it's called "The Dark Knight Rises."

@Telena Brookshier i remember that ras and the league of shadows kill them all except bane
@Telena Brookshier The league killed them.
And when he reaches the light, he throws the rope down so that the everyone else trapped down there can rise as well.

You guys are wrong, wrong, wrong. He got erectile dysfunction from his flawed jump. He went blind because one of the bats is a reincarnation of Thomas Wayne who decided to put his bat pecker in the doctors eye to teach him humility.
But if he had jumped without the rope, he would have died. Anyone help me understand why him jumping the rope was a better option?
At first I thought batman is just a billionaire with some tech and some fighting skills. And I always preferred iron man over batman. But the way Christopher Nolan wrote the Trilogy I must say batman's story is the most inspiring and its a true masterpiece.
Oh , you seriously need to catch up on some real batman stuff.
Ohh kid, iron man doesn't inspire like the batman does.
Batman is the worlds best superhero. This is not because he has powers like superman, tech like iron man, magic of dr fate or speed of flash. He has something stronger his will power. The most awesome thing about batman is how many times you break him in end he always wins. The best superhero ever.
@@280akashyadav3 imo Spider-Man and batman are on the same level for never being broken
@@280akashyadav3 Which is why Batman would be a force to be reckoned with if he got a green lantern ring
Trilogy starts with bruce falling in cave, which has bats and they frighten him. Trilogy ends when bruce is rising from a cave, which has bats and he frightens them.
Hans Zimmer's music score and chant is mind blowing.

1:08 his self-conscious smile always gets me, he simply KNEW he would make it
Btw. this scene is so powerful and timeless! Everyday we fight our own battles and sometimes we give up for a little thing, but we are able of such great things! I just love the legacy of this scene
No he didn’t. That’s the point of this scene. He didn’t know if he was going to die or not. That gave him fear, which in turn gave him strength.
I don't think that it's so much as he knew he would make it, i think he was just accepting that whether he rises or falls, this would be his final attempt and that he wouldn't be living in the pit anymore.
"How can you move faster then possible, fight longer then possible. Without the most powerful impulse of the spirit.... the fear of death"
This might be one of the most powerful lines I have ever heard in a film. Brilliant!
When the old man starts chanting. I lose it every time. He knew the strength Bruce had. He even gave in to hope.
No idea why but this scene really inspires me when life is rough, the symbolism that as Bruce did we must sometimes risk it all and pull ourselves out of the well when we are at our most hurt and vulnerable, maybe that’s not how it was intended but it’s how I see it, such a great scene
This isn’t just a scene for me.. its basically my life.. it’s always this part I come back to when I need to be picked up again. I’m 26 years old and this scene always brings tears to my eyes. Not only because Christian bale is one of my favourite actors and my favourite Batman and I’m a MASSIVE Batman fan(I have Batman memorabilia & other collectibles in my room) but mainly for his iron will and his dedication and never giving up. Seeing him stand up out of that pit rising like the warrior he is with Mr. Hans Zimmers music and the prisoners cheering is bloody amazing it gives me chills and its exactly how I felt. Being sick & dying in bed everyday first from destroying my body, and then being sick from healing it, as Batmans was until he was finally ready to make the climb and rise. I like to think that I myself conquered what I did and I also did rise again. I’m no warrior but I battled drug addiction in my life and pretty much lost everything. After highschool, I went from an athlete, a competing promising kickboxer, a basketball player, to a junkie loser. No money no future no desire literally nothing. Couldn’t even save a dime. I was a walking corpse. Nobody wanted anything to do with me. I didn’t either. You can imagine I was called every name in the book and suicidal thoughts were nothing new to me anymore. Talking harshly to myself was nothing new to me anymore. I had a privileged life I had everything I ever wanted and I guess somewhere down the line I took advantage of it and I went from a good kid an athlete, to nothing. Just another junkie loser. Here I was hurting my loved ones but mainly myself the worst way possible. After battling pure hell somehow with the Grace of God one day at a time I’m now almost 3 years clean and sober and I have everything back in my life and more. My family. An amazing fiancé who knows everything about me and wants to be there for me through it all. And I can actually save money now which is a blessing to me like no other. I went to acting school for couple years and got an agent and became an actor so we’ll see what happens with that. I’m now also attending school to become an addiction counsellor. Hopefully I can help the ones like me. And I started a small carpentry business at home making tables/desks since covid started which has been very beneficial for me. But mainly I hope acting and my career as a Therapist works out. Even if not, I can atleast do the things that I want to do now in life and try. And not be trapped in my prison of addiction anymore.. Despite all that I still consider myself a junkie loser who hasn’t really done anything in his life. And I don’t feel like I’ll ever make my parents proud. Facing death and fighting for my life and winning it back from addiction I guess isn’t something this older generation of my Indo Canadian ppl think it’s anything to be proud of.. more like something to be ashamed of. I know I have to talk to myself kinder and that’s something I’m working on. But it’s hard when even now sometimes people who I don’t get along with that well try to judge you for your past mistakes. Calling me a junkie every time there’s a heated argument. Using my past as a weapon. So I just stay away now as I can’t handle that kinda toxicity in my life. It hurts more and does more damage than most will know but it is what it is. Most importantly I just hope to make my family proud, mainly my fiancé and my parents who will hopefully be proud to call me her husband and their son one day. Thats all I really want. That’s all I hope for. Thank you for your time to read this. All the real ones struggling and fighting out there please keep going. One day at a time. You are a warrior like Batman! When he finally rises out of that pit it is exactly how I felt when I finally beat my addiction and saw the world with my clear eyes again. I was rising again. To a better, wiser and stronger me. You Will Also Rise! God Bless You🙏🏼💪🏼🖤

@One Day You May
Happy New Year to you my brother,cheers on going to your 4 years clean.
If your children and their kids gonna inherit your will and strength to live,trust me,they cant be more proud of that.
Pride doesnt come from the things that you own already,it comes of what you went through to get there.
Never forget that.
We all grow up in a pit. The pit of our ego, our hate and our arrogance. Some of us manages to escape that pit and then throw the rope in the pit for others to escape as well. Unfortunately most of the people decides to ignore that help.
No one has escaped the pit, only Jesus did but he was God. He showed us how.
TRUTH REVELATION:
Batman didn't really need the suit.....it was just a fashion statement
The Vigilante true but the suit has its advantages. Bullet proof, bite proof little gadgets etc.. these things are important
@@8mycereal plus it makes him look scary to the criminals.
@@8mycereal And looks cool while hiding his identity
DarkDoughnutsVids it does indeed. I always wanted a bat suit as a kid lol.
It’s the man that makes the suit not the suit that makes the man. If Bruce was nothing without the suit then he shouldn’t deserve it.
You know, I never realized the symbolism of the pit when I saw this the first time. I never realized that this pit was the Lazarus Pit, and when Bruce entered it, he was broken, physically, mentally, and emotionally. He allowed peace to make him weak and that is what allowed Bane to plow him into the ground. He didn’t have the fighting spirit and the will that allowed him to face down criminals with automatic weapons. He allowed the pain that came with the loss of Rachel dying and the humiliation of letting Harvey Dent become a monster turn him into a recluse. By entering the pit, Bruce was able to reclaim the physical strength he once had. He was able to reclaim the mental focus that made it possible to give him purpose in his crusade to save Gotham. And he allowed the fear that once forced him to become Batman in the first place, to enter his heart again, and in that moment, he climbed out of the pit stronger than ever. His vitality returned, his warrior spirit rejuvenated, and his mental focus as sharp as a knife. I never thought that the Lazarus Pit could be used in such a brilliant fashion, but with Nolan, everything is possible.
His soul/spirit had been trapped in that pit/prison a long time before Bane showed up, paralysed and waiting for death. Bane just placed him there physically.
@@l555mat8 How has Bruce’s soul and spirit been trapped in the pit even before Bane came into the picture? This was the first time Bruce was even in the pit.
@@nateborie6329 have you not seen the film? He’s a recluse, he’s not been seen in public for years. When he returns as Batman, Alfred is concerned that he Bruce doesn’t care if he’s going to die or not. The pit is a metaphor
@@l555mat8 The pit is both a figurative and literal place, but Bruce was never there before, during, or after he became Batman. Now, if at any time he trained with Ra's he was taken to the pit to train, maybe some part of him was left there, but I highly doubt it.
@@nateborie6329 . Physiologically he was in the pit a long time before Bane showed up
This trilogy is just full of legendary dialogues.
I love him throwing that rope into the pit after he got out essentially saving everyone’s life.
I agree someone else would NOT do the same
That's what Bruce does.
Yeah but he didn't tie the end of it up top so it just fell in ;)
@@ironfist7789 the rope is already tied up top. It’s what allows them to lower prisoners & supplies into the pit. Notice the bucket which is tied to the string, and how he just picks up the rope and drops it in.
Nolan + Zimmer = Legendary Masterpiece
My confidence rise to 1 million by watching this.
This wasn't just a batman movie, this was a life lesson is to never give up
And to use fear as not just a mental weakness,but a meaningful but very threatening motivation to keep going
I learned I'm bipolar
It's incurable and gets worse with age
I came back to this scene to find the strength to not give up despite the odds. Good luck, friends
1:05 I like that Christopher chose an actor who sounded very much like Michael Caine to be his companion in the Lazarus Pit.
Because even though they were worlds apart, Bruce still had an Alfred there with him in some form.
i love the change of tone in the soundtrack at 1:48 it so suits this scene in its true message of resilience and not giving up even if crap hits the fan.
This is my favorite movie scene of all time. The prison sometimes is our own mind. The fear of not knowing if you're going to make it keeps you locked in that prison until you take a leap of faith. The inmates chanting rise is our self conscious digging deep and getting riled up to make the leap. When we preserver we feel ultimate victory and become stronger then we were before. Sometimes we need to be completely broken in order to be rebuilt even better. This scene is powerful metaphor for life and will stick with me forever.
Time to screen shot your comment i need to remember this every time
This scene brings tears in my eyes every time.... Never gets old
Me too literally every time
It’s what men go through
Background score + Direction + Acting = Mindblowing scene. It's been 9 years since "The Dark Knight Rises" released and till now this scene still gives me chills!

I saw this movie in the theater when it came out. Audience went wild during this scene. Standing ovation. 👏
This scene alone put this movie over the top as not just the best film of the trilogy, but the best Batman movie ever!
You mean one of the best superhero films or even one of the best films ever made.
During these times, this is what we should all do! Face our pains, overcome our fears, and rise from the pit that we fell into, stronger than before!
i swear this scene hypes me up and the symbolism of it brings tears to my eyes. All of us have that inner hero and we must go through some of the roughest obstacles in life to rise to the occasion 🙏🔥
It's 2:55 AM I haven't slept yet and heavy rain and I'm watching this with full volume in my earphones
So?

It's not the jump that gives you goosebumps, it's the cheering afterwards.
Gives me the chills every time I watch it. I have watched it a numerous amount of times, obsessively to say the least.

In this scene we learn that Bruce Wayne is not the Batman...
The Batman is Bruce Wayne
No, Bruce Wayne is a play boy billionaire who is ruthless, Batman is the complete opposite, Bruce Wayne is like that so the world doesn’t find out that Bruce Wayne isn’t Batman
@@semelatifofalism5833 The point, as pointed out in Batman Begins that it is the Bruce Wayne character that is the mask whilst Batman is the person whom he truly is. Its one of the things that makes batman so interesting IMO.

Actually, I think this was the moment Bruce decided to stop being Batman
@@semelatifofalism5833 you can say that for the other stuff, but Nolan’s TDK actually has a Bruce Wayne, a Bruce that got his freedom and love. This Bruce is more than Batman.

I have watched this film countless times and this scene never fails to give me goosebumps. Everything about it, from the camera angles, the mounting suspense, the chanting of the prison inmates and Hans Zimmer ingenious, emotionally gripping score.
This scene summarizes Bruce Wayne's entire arc. He was once Batman, but was left beaten and broken, physically and mentally at the bottom of this pit, forced to helplessly watch his city suffer. However, despite all his adversity, Bruce never gives up. He rebuilds his body from the ground up and regains his identity as Batman again. The exact moment the goosebumps take hold is when the bats fly out of the crack in the wall. Bruce flinches at first, harkening back to his fear of them as a child, but then he lets them fly around him. At this point, he is Batman in his heart and mind again, even without the suit and gadgets. Once he makes that final, near-impossible jump, the hero of Gotham has returned better than ever before.
This is why it is my single favorite scene in the entire Dark Knight Trilogy.
Bro does anyone else get an adrenaline rush from this scene 😂
I think everyone
@@neerajchandran8948 who doesn't ?
Each and every time...that is the power of the scene and its music
1:20-1:45 background music always gives me chills. By far one of the best background music ever produced for a film.
God I love this scene. One of my favourite movie sequences of all time.
And I especially love how he drops them the rope at the end, quickly and simply.
If this scene didn’t get you out of depression, nothing else will.
Ironic how he gets fear about death back in life and it actually is how he gets over the biggest obstacle of his life that might risk him death. Best scene of all batman cinematic series.
fear is a needed element to force you to improve...same as being willing to have no ego
2:20 I love the roar of the crowd when he makes it
When the bats appeared i know hes gonna make it. Goosebumps!!!🔥🔥🔥
“ Its not about the Fail it’s about how you respond from your failure” 🙏
This trilogy and it’s symbolisms… man they can almost make u tear up.
Wether u are going through depression or hard times in life, you are symbolically climbing rising and climbing out of your own pit. This was just like when Bruce fell into that well as boy and his father came and saved him. But his father was the safety rope. Now he didn’t have his father, he needed to climb it himself… without the rope.
Just like Bruce used fear to strike it into the hearts of criminals he needed to use the fear he had of dying in that pit to motivate him to escape it. The fear of death is the biggest motivator in life, it’s what allowed him to rise.
I've used the music from this scene for my wake up alarm for about 5 years now. I love that it starts out calm and builds slowly.
I literally get goosebumps when he comes out of the pit and that fervent bgm plays . One of the greatest scenes in the history of cinema.
Batman's story can not get more epic than this.
1:51 is the moment when you have all victoryies and you retired when you are done and then you must have a comeback and you get very badly beaten up but you think it is all over but time geting back and you are making a real big great comeback and rise once again.
The most epic scene of all time , no one else Could've done it better , not even marvel
Even dc cant recreate this scene. Marvel can only imagine that. This scene is an absolute masterpiece
Yes sir
@@benchmarkslab2005 because this wasn’t DC this was Cristopher Nolan who gave a personal life to this trilogy
Thing that Marvel and Dc should allow more to their directors
Giovanni Danesin Yes it's Nolan movie but also it's still DC movie because these characters are from DC.
Not of all time. Not even close. But it is one of the best comic book movie scenes.
Arguably the best scene in the history of cinema.
I Look At This Scene As A Motivational Moment! The Chills, The Music !! This Scene Is Just Spectacular! Imma Miss Bale And Nolan, So Now I’m Ready For What Pattinson Got Up His Damn Sleeve🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
We will see... 🤔🙏
0:37 it's so unusual to see Bruce plain out broken and hopeless in the most human way possible. He's the Batman and yet he faces true dispair and hopelesness.
That makes his rise even more inspiring, because he truly had lost everything and still found it in him.
This scene sends chills down my spine every time. Absolutely incredible.
The silence at 2:18 gives me chills everytime I watch this scene.
Fun fact: This scene was shot in Meherangahr fort , Jodhpur, Rajasthan , India.
Yup
the interior scene of jail was a set in LA. the outer scenes were of Jodhpur
@@prateeksingh8815 no this whole sequence was shot in two places and merged into one...
The jail scene is actually a "step well" and and the pit is outside the palace....
Ohhh, i always thought the fort looked indian...now cleared 😀
The way the bats fly out of the wall as he looks up and remembers who he's supposed to be, this scene is one of the greatest in cinema history.
I love how he throws the rope down to the others to help them
Choosing to help give the others redemption
"Then make the climb. As the child
did, without the rope. Fear will find you again."
"What does that chanting mean?"
"Rise."
Goddamn this script is fantastic.
For me this scenes represents my depression a dark abyss of internal pain. Like Bruce Wayne I suffer from the lost of my three family members. I dream of them wishing it was me who died. Ever since my sister pasted away my pain pushed me to become smarter better and I do have my moments in sorrow and pain! I learned so much from a man who doesn’t exist in real life but in my soul he is very real. Funny thing is that my friends called me Batman or Bruce Wayne haha. But In the end it was hell of life !!
To have the bats come out in that scene is just a simple touch that added perfection to the symbolism to his character. Nolan is a genius
The jump, pause, bass drop and cheering… that moment makes this the greatest scene in any superhero movie. I dare say any movie period. Goosebumps. 💪🏻
“I have one power. I never give up.”

If he quits that city dies. And he will not let down his parent’s legacy. That’s what Bruce fears the most.

I'll never forget seeing this for the first time in the theater. During this scene, everyone in my audience was in complete silence. When Bruce caught the ledge, the audience erupted. I miss movie theater experiences like that.
1:55 a perfect juxtaposition to when he embraced the bats in the batcave in batman begins, this is the moment he truly becomes batman again spiritually
One of the best scenes in the trilogy. I got chills the first time watching it in theater and the doctor said "Then fear will find you again" It was over for the League of Shadows right then and there lol.
words cant explain how powerful this scene is
Man, this movie is still a masterpiece after all these years. This scene alone surpasses MCU, what can I talk about the whole movie?!
Tf is that even supposed to mean? My god, it’s lIke those dumbass circlejerk comments on Star Wars videos where people are like “tHiS iS beTtEr tHaN tHe enTiRe sEQuEl trIlOgy”
This entire sequence was so perfectly written that it could be its own short film. I remember crying when I saw this in theaters, because Nolan so perfectly took the audience (me) and put us in Bruces shoes. At a time in my life I had so many fears and doubts and limitations-all self imposed. It perfectly portrayed a conversation that my mind and heart had daily.
Bruce/Batman aside, the Pitt to me represented Heaven+Hell, the climb to me represented my physical body going through the journey of breaking the limitations of my mind and the Rope represents Lack of Faith in God and instead living life in comfort failing to have faith in God and forever being bound by putting faith in the wrong things- The bottom of the Pitt represents Hell, eternal darkness bound by the limitation of your own mind, chained and in a jail cell that you have the power to escape as long as you're able and willing to master your mind and break the bounds that are holding you in your own hell. The top of the Pitt represents Heaven/ Freedom on he journey to breaking your own limitations you'll have to put in work, you'll need to climb to heights that make you uncomfortable having faith in your plan, idea, your calling and that everything you believe in is now in Gods hands because you're climbing with out a rope - without a safety net- you either live or you die trying.
Once Bruce is at the peak and at his final objection as high as he can get with out his rope, (your own final objection) the enemy ( I call him Satan) will cast his final objection into scaring you and making you doubt everything you've done to get where you are so that you can fall. Once Bruce faces his fears and has faith and is wiling to die- that is when the miracle happens and the realization, that you never needed the rope in the first place- that freedom took a leap of faith into the discomfort and unknown so that you can grow- Once at the top you're free, once you've overcome those limitations the Panning of Bruce walking into the world represents a world that you can't even IMAGINE because you haven't taken the first step into breaking your limits.
When Bruce is having that conversation in his it symbolized his Mind and Heart having an exchange, Bruce being the conscious mind had been lying to himself, he had been avoiding his fears, doubts and limitations- never truly facing them, nor feeling working to overcoming them. His heart knew exactly what he needed to do to escape and reminded him on what exactly he needed to do to escape and once he accepted that, his spirit was rejuvenated- The spirit was represented by the men hyping him up to "RISE". As well as those men also represented different past versions of himself that no longer served him which were also caged and trapped but also craved freedom because they were him. You can actually see that of all the men cheering there was one man that didn't- that was the latest version of Bruce- himself, the one full of doubt, the one full of anger, self pity, and lack of confidence, and living in the past. Bruce managed to put them behind and grow into the person he needed to be to face his challenge and find freedom. It was an amazing sequence that spoke to me in that way and this is why it's my all time favorite. It allowed the audience go through that journey and see Bruce RISE as well as yourself.
A physiological breakdown perfectly put together in this sequence. Nothing will top this for me.
Amen beautifully explained, I'm sure this resembles many of our lives.
And the things we have to overcome to reach where God has called us. And note he made the climb on the third try, which represents completion in the Bible.
This scene tells us one very important thing. Let nothing hold you back. Fear can be a powerful thing for good, but it can also hold you back. Let fear inspire you to great things, not limit you to what you can achieve. All you need is the will and determination to see it through. Even if you think it’s impossible.
Rise.
I've been to this historical place.. This was shooted at Mehrangarh fort in Jodhpur, Rajasthan (India)
I thought they filmed this on a set?
Manic Rhymes The pit was made from scratch which is amazing. But I think he’s talking about when he escapes the pit. I think the area is set in India maybe.
thought it was Jaisalmer town but you're right, definitely Mehrangarh fort in Jodhpur
Yes but the scene consist of 2 different locations.
The scene where bruce comes to the top of the pit, we can see the Mehrangarh fort in the background. If you search Mehrangarh fort in google maps you can also see the pit's location marked near it.
And the inside of the pit scene where we can see the stairs, that scene was shot at Chand Bawri, Step Well, Abhaneri, Rajasthan (India).
Lucky I live in India! I’m going to visit this place.
i bet Thomas and Martha Wayne are so proud of him
One of the most powerful scene , this scene defines you life.
Bruce being reborn into a mentally stronger Batman in this scene was so powerful
Best scene in the entire trilogy in my opinion. Pure masterpiece.
Hans Zimmer is the best. The song give half of the emotion.
“Then make the climb without the rope.”
This movie certainly isn't perfect but you cant deny the high points, and this scene is an example. There is an absolute, undeniable emotional power to this moment. The blind man's speech, the cinematography, the music, the chanting.... it all culminates into something absolutely stunning.
I just recovered from a tough back injury and this scene is my mantra for my training now. Out of the darkness..
Most bone chilling powerful scene in cinema history
