    I actually like this movie the most out of all of them. My favorite scene from the whole trilogy is when Gordon realizes Batman is Bruce "A hero can be anyone, even a man who would do something so simple, and encouraging, as putting a coat around a young man's shoulders, to let him know the world hadn't ended."

      Also, notice how the LAST time Bruce makes the climb, the time he is successful, he packs his bag with supplies for his journey. All of his previous failed attempts he never did this. Why? The truth is he wasn't serious. He was just going though the motions, after all, if he failed, there was no problem: the rope would save him & he could just try again. It was like a video game. His HEART was not truly in it. With no rope, no safety net, there are only 2 outcomes:
      either he escapes of he dies. If he dies it is game over for Gotham. He can not afford to lose, he must find a way to dig deep and MAKE the climb at any cost. It forced him to wake up and take this seriously.

    One of the things that I like about this movie that sets it apart from both the Batman films and the tv shows is that Batman actually gets a happy ending. His role in his mission is complete, he passed the torch, and rode off into the sunset with his woman. True western movie feel there.

    • @marvelsandals4228
      @marvelsandals4228 Год назад +2

      True. Unlike most Batman stories, this one is not a "monster of the week" that returns to the status quo. The universe is profoundly changed for good. Bruce has formally retired as Batman and left Gotham behind. His work is done. He did what he set out to do. His parents can rest in peace now and he can finally smile again, be free from the shadow of batman at last. Besides, Blake represents the next generation of the Batman, let him carry on the legend now. It is in good hands.

  • @reflectionist

    12:54 - This shot of Bane climbing down the chain is one of the most underrated VFX scene in the entire movie. Because they reversed a shot of Bane climbing UP that chain, and even THEN somehow managed to get the water to animate correctly in the reversed shot. Then again, I guess it's not that unheard of, because they did the same trick in "Star Wars Episode III - Revenge of the Sith" on an establishing shot of Mustafar, reversing the camera's zoom while maintaining the direction of lava flow. But that's Star Wars - that particular shot was probably completely CGI, anyway - while Bane's reversed chain climb was 100% practical.

    • @marvelsandals4228
      @marvelsandals4228 Год назад +1

      Yes, the first "pit" Bruce fell in as a child is where he encountered bats for the first time and developed his bat phobia. As a man, he returned to that same well, stronger, able to face his fears and embrace them, even embracing the symbol of the bat as part of his persona.
      Now he has fallen into a new pit, one that represents his TRUE fear, not his bat phobia, but his more primal fears, the darkness in his heart that has consumed him and turned him into a shell of his former self, his trauma and despair having lost Rachel, watched Harvey turn into a monster, having killed the man with his own hands, and now having even lost his dearest friend and father figure, Alfred. Bruce is completely alone and Bane will make him watch his city crumble while Bruce is powerless to help them.
      Yet, this too is just another pit. Bruce already fell in a pit, escaped it, and overcame his fears on a deeper level. He did it once, he can do it again. He has to remember his past, before the Joker and Harvey Dent. He has to become the same man, the same hero he was in the beginning, remember why he became a hero in the first place.

    I love the climb scene so much. Obviously the pit is as symbolic as it is real. Bruce falls and he relies on his father to come and save him, just like he did as a child (the rope). But he has to let that go. Only then can he rise and only then can batman rise into the light, and he can be batman during the day for the first time.

    • @marvelsandals4228
      @marvelsandals4228 Год назад

      Yes, he also realizes that he needs to step into the light (a bit like the new Batman film ironically). In past films he has always stayed in the shadows, letting the police and people like Harvey Dent serve as the heroic face of Gotham, as he didn't feel worthy of that role. Bane has crippled the city, its police, and stripped down all its idols. They have nothing. They are lost and afraid. Batman has to get over himself and step up to the plate. He has to BE the hero this time, to stand on the front lines and lead the cops into battle, their "general" so to speak. Bruce's return even inspires the one cop (who is initially a jerk and a coward) to grow as a character. He sees Batman risking his life to fight Bane and so he feels motivated to join him. He can't bear to let Batman fight alone. When the cops approach Bane's forces, they see "the Bat" plane fly by and they all cheer and let out a battlecry, then charge forward. Their hero is here, they have a "powerful friend" on their side and that encourages them to fight.

  • @marvelsandals4228
    @marvelsandals4228 Год назад +1

    This movie has plenty of iconic scenes, but I have two in particular that give me chills.
    1. Bruce successfully escaping "the pit". The whole sequence is great, but when the bats show up it has a visceral effect on me. The imagery and music feels like it is tapping into something more ancient and primal, like this is the hero's journey, the same story that has been told a thousand times over history. Bruce escaping this pit is just a visual way of showing a man overcoming his own demons, "rising" above it literally and figuratively. When Bruce sees the bats, he is shocked, but then becomes calm, almost tranquil. He is remembering his origins. Batman isn't just a mask: HE is and always has been "the batman." He has what it takes to overcome this. He believes in himself again. Also love how he stops to throw a rope down into the pit so the others can escape too. He is a true hero and leader. He showed them the way out and gave them the tools to free themselves. Those men will never forget him for the rest of their lives.
    2. It is a brief moment, but at the end of the movie, after Bruce (and Batman) have been pronounced dead, the citizens unveil a huge statue of batman to a crowd in city hall, and the audience stands to applaud it, as Gordon looks on. Up until now, even when the police "looked the other way" or cooperated with Batman, they never once acknowledged him in any official way. He was always a "silent guardian" but they acted ashamed of him. No more. Everybody knows exactly who he is. He is Gotham's true hero. He saved them all. He deserves their respect and they have finally given it to him. It's a huge moment.

Once I recognized all the references to A Tale of Two Cities by Charles Dickens, (besides the obvious quote from the book) it turned a corner fast for me. For a superhero film, it's got great depth and is layered in ways you might not notice without multiple viewings. I guess that's what you are going to get from Christopher Nolan for the final movie in a series.

Your interpreted it as him having to NOT to be afraid in order to make it but I think what the older man was saying was exactly the opposite, he NEEDS fear to be able to make the climb. He said "fear will find you" and that would be the key, that's also why the bats show up right before the crucial jump bringing everything back to his life-long childhood fear that has driven him this whole time and giving him the extra motivation as he now (without the rope) HAS TO to face the consequences of his success/failure and has to gather the strength he needs to make it out. 💪

    Most of Rises' problems really just come down to it trying to fit too many elements into one movie, and they don't all get the time they deserve.
    -The harsh reality that being Batman nonstop for not even a full 10 years has savaged Bruce's physical body basically stops being a plot point after putting on a knee brace and recovering from the first Bane fight. Originally thought this was gonna tie back to how Batman was originally meant to be a symbol to inspire people, and Bruce would realize that he doesn't have to *personally* beat up Bane himself/alone to win.
    -Selina, Blake, and Miranda all have the same problem of fighting for appropriate screentime to make their arcs feel fulfilling. Catwoman especially feels like a waste since Hathaway really owns the role.
    -Whatever else you want to say about Bane, the boy is a meme machine and almost every line he has is gold.

    I highly recommend watching Batman: The Animated Series/The New Batman Adventures, Batman: Mask of the Phantasm, Batman and Mr. Freeze: Subzero, Batman Beyond and Batman Beyond: Return of the Joker. The coach and some of the players on Gotham's football team are then-current and former members of the Pittsburgh Steelers

    I always interpreted it not as him needing to be without fear but to find his fear again. Fear keeps us alive, without it Bruce ended up where he did. It was hubris and being overly self confident that saw him defeated by Bane. Bane isn't without fear, he's just hardened it and shaped it into a weapon, driven by an incredible will to force. Ra's wasn't without fear. Ra's understood fear better than anyone. Bruce lost himself and some of his humanity in adopting the batman. Only by finding his humanity again could he find the strength to beat Bane. Only through acknowledging and controlling his fear could he escape the prison.

    Bane slapping Batman around is powerful, because it's the first time in the trilogy that Batman's been unable to win a fight. Bane is literally brains plus brawn, and Bruce Wayne has to "kill" Batman to get the crisis to end.

    22:27 This isn't explained in the movie well (besides 'innocent is a strong word to throw in Gotham') but it's Ra'as' core code that Gotham itself is inescapably corrupt and all those who are born and live in it will become corrupted. He applies it to humanity as a whole but feels that the corruption is strongest in Gotham. In the larger canon the real kick is that he is using the same substance that is corrupting Gotham - Lazarus - to keep himself alive and powerful for *centuries* , and Batman frequently points out the hypocrisy in it.

    I remember seeing the first scene as a sort of teaser that was shown before the new Mission Impossible movie with the original audio of Bane talking. A lot of people complained they couldn't understand him at all so they went back and recorded Tom Hardy's voice for that scene again and put it in the movie. I personally liked the original audio more and didn't really have trouble understanding him. His new dubbed voice sounds a bit too off for me and it's a little disappointing since it's a fantastic opening scene otherwise.

    • @theblobconsumes4859
      @theblobconsumes4859 Год назад

      I fully agree with you. It seems that Nolan has learnt this lesson since, though, because he doesn't do that anymore. Perhaps to a certain extreme, but I like that for when you have good audio systems. Hopefully we can get a cut which doesn't have that.

    This movie has some of the best moments in the whole trilogy. The part when Bruce loses the rope to push himself to climb out of the pit has always stuck with me. I do feel like a lot of stuff is contrived to make the story happen (all the cops going in the sewers so they can be absent while Bane rules the city, also everyone not using guns in the street battle is really just so that Batman can fight in the battle). These contrivances don't take away from the overall greatness though, imo

    James, I don't weigh these three against one another. Rather, I see them as parts of one whole. I still have problems with Ras Al Gul's nonsensical response to evil by destroying a city, followed by Bane and Talia attempting to complete that task. I preferred Ras's original comic book incarnation. But I still consider this one of the best movie trilogies of all time.

    If you remember in the first film Lism Neeson told Bruce Wayne that Gotham didn’t deserve salvation and had to be destroyed.

  • @Nihilus_Outis

    I like the juxtaposition between the Joker and the League of Shadows. The Joker is a nihilist. For him existence is without meaning or purpose. Societies pretensions of order through institutions and laws is futile. The Joker wants to expose that truth and rejoice in the chaos that result of that. Meanwhile, the League of Shadows is basically a cult obsessed with order and social balance. When the institutions fail they destroy them so society begins again. They are ideologues. In the novelization of TDKR there’s a moment when Bane is liberating the criminals out of the prison. In there he’s told that The Joker is in his cell. Bane takes a look at him a order his men to keep him in his cell. Bane knows that the Joker can thwart his plan, his destiny, with the chaos and unpredictability only the Clown Prince of Crime can do.
