“The era of superheroes and remakes” - this, probably, can be said about what is happening in the Hollywood film industry now. This can be treated differently, but we, the audience, can only accept such a fact as a given. Making our contribution to the current state of things, we will talk today about the movie "Batman: The Beginning". The actors in it are wonderful.
Well
Of course, it’s more convenient to always talk about the film and the characters, setting out the plot. So let's do it.
The human-bat is played by the charismatic actor Christian Bale.
The beginning of the film. Children (Rachel and Bruce) play in the garden. Then Bruce accidentally breaks into a well. In it, he meets with a whole horde of bats. The child is not so worried about the injured hand as these animals. A good movie "Batman: The Beginning", the actors-children in it play great.
Rachel sees Bruce break loose and runs for help. From the well of the future Batman pulls his father - Thomas Wayne (Lainas Roach).
Performance and death of parents
After some time, Bruce and his parents go to the theater. In the production, the boy again seems to have bats. He is afraid of. Wayne leave. By tragic accident, right near the exit from the theater, the husband and wife are killed. Only Bruce remains alive. And we immediately understand where the boy got such hatred of crime. In the movie "Batman: The Beginning", the actors played in such a way that it is clear: Freud and psychoanalysis are not forgotten.
The Great Depression is in the courtyard (let's not forget that the place of events is the fictional city of Gotham, which means that references to real American history are meaningless). People are starving, they are desperate, so the level of banditry in the streets is high.
Bruce Wayne's Wanderings
Everyone knows that B. Wayne is rich. His father was an industrial mover. He left his son after his death, but he was still too small to manage the company on his own, because the role of managers was taken over by various managers, and Bruce was brought up by Alfred, a butler who had long served in the family. He was played by Michael Kane. In the film "Batman: The Beginning" the actors and roles are brilliantly selected. And yet, the cutest of them is Alfred performed by M. Kane.
So time passed. Bruce went to study at Princeton. Then the young master returns. It turned out that they want to have mercy on the man who killed Bruce's parents. The criminal was promised freedom for facilitating the investigation against the city’s famous mafia - Carmine Falcone (Tom Wilkinson). The actors of the movie "Batman: The Beginning" create a wonderful field for the implementation of the protagonist, and Falcone's figure is no exception.
Bruce is furious. He returned only to get even with the killer. But he is ahead of him. The mercenary is overtaken by the bullet of a mercenary Falcone, as soon as the first one leaves the courtroom, right in the corridor, surrounded by journalists and police officers.
Bruce, who was standing there, on the one hand, saw how terrible a violent death was, and on the other hand, he was probably glad that the villain did not die at his hands.
Later that evening, from the matured Rachel (Katie Holmes), Bruce found out that Falcone is Gotham's cancerous tumor. He bought everyone. All obey him. And if the inconsolable son is grateful to the criminal, then he himself can tell him about it. Bruce admits that he planned a similar action in relation to a man who took the life of his parents. For his frankness, B. Wayne receives a couple of slaps from Rachel. In the movie "Batman: The Beginning", the actors and roles were chosen successfully. This is especially true for the Bale-Holmes pair.
Then he goes to the institution to Falcone, sees that he is a bastard. The conversation they do not stick. Bruce is thrown out of the restaurant like a tramp. The most interesting thing is that from this moment the young man really begins to wander around the world, but not aimlessly, on the contrary, he decided to understand how the criminal thinks, to penetrate his consciousness. To do this, he himself becomes a thief and a bandit, but acts within the framework of the rational.
Somewhere in Bruce's smelly Asian prison, Henri Ducard (Liam Neeson) finds. A new acquaintance is devoted to all the details of the biography of the future superhero and offers him to join the "League of Shadows" - an organization to combat crime.
Over time, it turns out that Henry also has a sore heart wound, and he decided to take revenge on the entire criminal world. True, when B. Wayne was at the last stage of initiation into the members of the Shadow League, he realized that their methods and Duccard, as well as the concept of justice, were fundamentally different, therefore, Batman had not yet escaped from his mentor, simultaneously blowing up everything and all.
As a result, Bruce has one sensible thought: why not help the city deal with crime and complete the work of his father in some way? No sooner said than done. Bruce returns and turns into a superhero and an eccentric millionaire in one body. It is clear that the latter is just a mask for Batman.
By the way, the main characters of the movie "Batman: The Beginning", actors (photos of them are presented in the article) appear before the reader in all its glory.
Supporting actors who would be ashamed not to talk about
Perfectly played the role of the gunsmith Lucius Fox (Morgan Freeman). Bruce, of course, is a ninja, but without the money of the company and the technical genius of L. Fox, he would only be a pale copy of the heroes of the militants of the 90s.
Remarkably played in the film manager Rutger Hauer. The villains also turned out to be beautiful with Nolan: Ra's al Ghul (we won’t tell who played him so as not to spoil the pleasure of watching) and Dr. Jonathan Crane / Scarecrow (Killian Murphy).
Without the only honest policeman in the city - James Gordon, there was no way to do it either.
We deliberately hid everything from the reader except the eyeballs. After all, fighters, in fact, are rich only in intrigue.
