The clown problem at the beginning of Batman's dark knight

If there is such a question, how to answer it-in the bank robbery scene at the beginning of the film, did the third robber killed by the fourth masked robber kill the robber killed by the first robber?

The answer is: yes.

Maybe you just watched the bank robbery at the beginning of the movie. You can't tell the division of labor of each masked clown, or who killed whom. You don't even know how many people there are. This is a detailed review for you-

These two upstairs, the one on the left is responsible for launching cables, which is called "Happy" in the script, and the one in the lower right corner can't see his front for the time being, which is called "dopey" in the script.

When they slide from the rear window to the top of the bank along the cable, you will see that the eyes and mouth on the back mask are red. He is the "slow" in the lower right corner of the picture above.

The clown is waiting for the bus to pick him up. His mouth is blue on the mask.

After the clown got on the bus, the first two robbers had a conversation. If you can't tell which sentence was said by whom, you should remember that the first sentence was said by the driver. When he said "there are two more on the roof, one for each", he held out two fingers, which means "there are two on the roof". He is the man who later tried to kill the clown and was killed by the school bus. He is called "grumpy" in the play.

The clown got on the bus and sat in the back row. The "grumpy" and "giggling" man didn't know he was a clown. When they talked about giving money to the clown as a planner, they were unconvinced because they thought the clown was not involved in the action. Then they mentioned that the clown was putting on makeup and the camera cut to the following scene.

"Happy" and "Slow" on the top of the bank are also talking about why people are called clowns. One of them said that clowns like to wear makeup, and the word used is: war painting (painting face before war).

The clown and three other people in the car entered the bank in the following order: grumpy, giggling, clown.

Some people say that there is no guard at the gate of this bank, but it is not. A brief picture shows that the first "grumpy" who entered the door knocked down the security guard, while "giggle" was the first robber to shoot, and he was also responsible for subduing the security guard. Then "Bad Temper" and the clown continue to run, which makes "Giggling" the closest one to the bank manager (william fichtner), but they don't find another bank manager there.

The first person who was killed was the "slow temper" who cut off the alarm device on the roof, and was killed by the "happy" behind him. Before "slow" said "strange, the connection (alarm device) is not 9 1 1, but a private number", and later explained that this bank paved the way for the gang to save money. As for the most likely identity of the bank manager, we will talk about it later. After killing "Slow", "Happy" picked up the tool kit on the ground and went to do what is shown below-drill the door of the vault.

The second smirk who rushed into the bank was killed by the second one. As soon as he knocked down the security guard, he was solved by the bank manager behind him with a shotgun.

At this time, the clown was in the distance, stuffed with grenades that had been pulled out by some hostages. From this point of view, clowns are much crazier than normal robbers, because even if someone doesn't want to be a hero, it is possible that grenades will explode because of nervousness or other reasons, and even they may die with the robbers when they are forced to do so. Therefore, from the beginning, I can feel that clowns are more strange and not afraid of death than others.

When the bank manager finished the fifth shot, he shouted, "Do you know whose money you stole? You guys are dead! " These words are crucial. Coupled with his calm "heroic" behavior and good skill, it can be judged that this person is not an ordinary bank manager, but related to gangs, because he was knocked down by a voltage of 5 thousand volts when he was "happily" drilling the vault door. Later, he asked "bad temper": "What the fuck is this bank?" The answer is "gangster bank". No wonder they all say the clown is crazy. " And afterwards, the sitcom also confessed that this bank was one of the five banks that helped the gang save money. Just now, "Slow" once said, "It's strange that the connection (alarm device) is not 9 1 1, but a private number." This private number probably belongs to a gang. In addition, the bank manager's gun is known to all those who have played CS, with a total of six bullets.

Then grumpy asked the clown, "He's out of bullets, isn't he?" The clown nodded (he may have done it on purpose), and then the man rushed out. The manager missed the shot and found that there was no bullet. Then the clown jumped out and hit the manager.

The "grumpy" who narrowly escaped came to the place below and killed "Happy"-the third robber was dead.

After loading the money, the "grumpy" man wanted to kill the clown, and then he was killed by another robber who was in charge of driving the school bus. "Bad temper" is the fourth robber killed.

After the bus driver and the clown loaded the money into the car, the clown killed him. This is the fifth one.

From the beginning, we could see the robbers killing each other. By extension, it is helpful to understand the values and behavior of the clown in the film. As he said, he likes chaos, and extreme chaos can achieve real fairness. He is willing to see the struggle between people. This kind of fairness just goes beyond the legal system, but is the legal system really pursuing fairness?

The manager who fell to the ground said to the clown, "Do you think you are smart? The people who pay you will end up like them. The bad guys used to be very principled. Honor, respect ... look at you, what principles can you talk about? " Then the clown took off his mask, which was his first appearance and said his first opinion: my principle is that what can't kill you will make you ... strange.

This line not only shows the clown's personality and style for the first time (the film later emphasized his point of view), but also implicitly expresses the "relevance" of the clown (Jack Nicholson) in the tim burton version of Batman (1989). At that time, Jack Napier, played by Nicholson, became a clown because Batman (played by michael keaton) thought that a gun hit Jack Napier's head, but he didn't expect that the gun went right through Jack Napier's mouth, and then Jack Napier fell into the green acid, and later he became a clown. Therefore, "what can't kill you will make you weird", which coincides with the birth of the clown. Of course, with this premise, in The Dark Knight, the clown told the black thugs boss, Rachel and Batman how the scar on his mouth was formed three times, but each version is different and makes sense (we will discuss these three versions later). Moreover, chaos is the pursuit of a clown, not to mention that he is a psychopath (this will be discussed later)

A few people didn't notice that the fuse of the smoke bomb held by the manager was unplugged by the school bus that had already left, so they took a screenshot of this line as a reminder. In addition, the reason why the clown does this is in line with what he just said, "What can't kill you will make you weird." When the lead was unplugged, the manager found that it was just a smoke bomb with a strange expression.
