Batman Begins

A hearty hello to all my viewers!!!! I am dreadfully sorry for my lack of intense and life changing movie posts. I have been dealing with technical difficulties for the past two weeks. Well enough of my life story. Let’s get back to the good stuff.

            


              Ah yes! The Dark Knight trilogy! Directed by award winning director Christopher Nolan, the Dark Knight trilogy has made Superhero movie history by becoming the top grossing movie trilogy ever created. Christopher Nolan was interested in recreating the Batman film series and focus more on the origin of the Dark Knight himself, and the first film in the series, Batman Begins, does just that.

 

Set in a more modern version of Gotham City, Batman Begins starts at the very start of Bruce Wayne’s life. From his parents tragic death to first Bat signal shown in the cloudy night sky over Gotham.
Bruce Wayne, played by Christian Bale, fights to protect the crime ruling Gotham City from the psychotic Dr. Crane a.k.a Scarecrow, played by Cillian Murphy, who works for the leader of the secret League of Shadows, Ra’s al Ghul, played by Liam Neeson.
 Christopher Nolan stated that he wanted to touch on the part of Bruce Wayne’s life that nobody has done before. Nolan wanted realism and humanity to be the basis of the origin film. The Batmobile was drastically redone. Six models were created in a span of four months before Nolan was finally satisfied. The full design and development took nine months and several million dollars to create the drivable tank seen in the movie. The hand on fight choreography was based on the Keysi Fighting style which utilizes a self defense system based on quick reflexs and natural instincts. The score for the movie was composed by Hans Zimmer and James Newton Howard. Batman Begins was the eighth-highest grossing film of 2005.
