      When Roland is yelling about Bane not fulfilling his obligation & that Roland was in charge, Bane gets close to him, gently places the back of his hand upon Roland's shoulder & asks Roland, "Do you feel in charge?" is perhaps the coldest line by a villain in cinema.

    Ra’s never wanted Talia or Bane part of the League of Shadows. Like Ra’s said in the first film “a vigilante is just a man lost in the scramble for his own gratification. He can be destroyed”. Bane and Talia were lost trying to gratify their pain- which Ra’s foresaw.
    Bruce made himself more than a man and made Batman into a “legend” instead of just a man like Ra’s said.

    I really like this quote from Ras al Ghul from Batman Begins (on the ice lake):
    ...that impossible anger strangling the grief until the memory of your loved one is just poison in your veins. And one day, you catch yourself wishing the person you loved had never existed, so you'd be spared your pain."
    I think that it goes towards revealing the fact that all vigilante types, for all of their posturing, are really only working from a deep-seated guilt and resultant self-loathing.

      Yeah, it never fully made sense to me that some people give all of the tactical credit to Talia when none of that was ever specified. Especially considering that the League in TDK Rises doesn’t even resemble what they were in Begins. Instead of ninjas, they’re militarized mercenaries, which the film tells us that Bane led his own mercenary group after his excommunication. So the League as we saw in TDK Rises were mostly made up of Bane’s mercenaries and it stands to reason that Bane was as much of a mastermind as Talia was in their plan.

    I am happy to see an episode focused specifically on this iteration of the League. Personally, I've always had a soft spot for "Batman Begins", as it was the first Batman film in my experience to add depth both to Bruce and the literal world he inhabits (especially since it takes him out of Gotham, making the film feel more real than previous ones). On top of that, in relation to this video, I liked the League of Shadows and their use in a Batman films, since this was during the War on Terror, facing a faceless enemy who could be anyone, and pop up in a crowded city and inflict significant carnage, much like the League infiltrating Gotham's infrastructure and ready to destroy the city from within. The League members' willingness to die in the name of their cause was also, of course, reminiscent of the real-world suicide attacks by Al Qaeda.
    That said, I was significantly disappointed with their portrayal in the third film as, outside of Bane and Talia, the members came off as bland mercenaries, in contrast to the disciplined ninjas in the first film.

And the mind, live tormented and directed by the past, molded by it, by its horrific experiences, the death of Ra's and the life in the hellish pit, desperately grasping at the only vestige of sanity and that mockery of a purpose, the desire of vengeance.

    The most interesting thing to me is Nolan’s use of Tale of Two Cities as inspiration. Bane and his actions here are portrayed as an allegory of the French Revolution. Bane is Robespierre and the League perpetrate a Reign of Terror like the Jacobins. They attacks the Gotham Stock Exchange, where greed and corruption financially enslave the common worker, an allegory of the Occupy Wall Street movement that was still fresh in people’s minds when the film released. Releasing the prisoners and freeing the downtrodden (whether they were truly criminals or not) is like the storming of the Bastille. Ultimately Nolan portrays the terrors that can come with Revolution, a cause for change and to change the system leading to another tyranny. Though in the DKR the Revolution was a smokescreen for the League’s real agenda. The French Revolution was a real movement that shook a continent and struck fear into the elites and rulers. My take away is that Gotham deserves baptism by fire, there is so much corruption and even the victory of the Dark Knight was a corrupt scheme that weighed on the consciousness of Gordon. The League created a revolt for their own sinister means, but the corruption and inequality persisted. Batman’s peace was a false one, criminals aren’t only street gangs, thugs, and organized crime. Batman didn’t fight the white collar criminals and elitists that sustain the elements that lead poverty to criminality. The source remained

    I like these kinds of videos where you cover multiple characters who’s evil roots from the same place like your videos on The Batman and The Last of Us. Next video like this should be on Rapture from Bioshock ,everything that made it so rotten, and the key players in its rise and fall besides Andrew Ryan.

    Hey Vile Eye,
    Here is a overlooked antagonist to possibly cover from probably a forgotten 90s film called Internal Affairs
    Dennis Peck played by Richard Gere
    A good group video to do is the cast of characters from Quinten Tarantino’s The Hateful Eight.
    Another group of characters to do would be Mickey Knox and Mallory Knox from Natural Born Killers

  • @AxelS5304

    I totally understand why you might not want to do this but I would personally love you to do a multi character covering for Gendo, Seele, and the angels for Neon Genesis. You could prob remove gendo or seele to just talk about the angels but I generally love the dynamics of the forces in the show and I think you have a great grasp of the philosophical influences of the shows story. Love the vids and stay blessed!

    11:27 one of the coldest lines in movie villain history. It's tough to appreciate Hardy when he's living in the Shadow of Ledger's performance, but he was outstanding as Bane.

  • @zl7321
    @zl7321 Год назад +3

    You’ve outdone yourself Mr. Vile! I’ve been wanting to see your take on this version of Bane for awhile. But the entire League of Shadows? Definitely a welcome surprise.
    For future analysis and given the release of Resident Evil 4 remake I request you analyze The Salazars/Los Illuminados from said game.
    Edit: Nolan has stated that Bane’s mask design in Rises was modeled after the howling mouth of baboons. Those animals are feral without a moment’s notice. The skeletal aesthetic of the mask is deliberate. Another example of the “theatricality” that Ra’s elaborates upon to the League of Shadows.

With that being said one thing I've always thought about in The dark Knight series has that scene where all the bats are flying around Bruce when he first finds the batcave and does he know in reality that he would be slipping and sliding all over that place because that place to be caked and all that guano with all those bats in there. Like seriously both him and Alfred will be pressure washing for weeks in there.

    I've always wondered what would happen if the League of Shadows ran into the Joker: Would they try to kill him, ignore him , make an alliance with him, or would they try to recruit him after possibly trying to brainwash him?
    I'd say "Ignore him" is the least likely, but that's essentially what happened in series.

    I think the pain of witnessing how depraved people can be and physically experiencing it after saving Talia, and being exiled despite saving an innocent girl, Bane changed and no longer saw people as human. He obviously still loved Talia, though. Maybe his animosity for Batman came from him seeing Bruce as a replacement that Rah's chose over him. That's just speculation though.
