Re: Robocop (2014)
Does anyone here know about RoboCop: Prime Directives mini-series? There is a possibility that the all black makeover for robocop is a tribute for that, which feature a second cop-turned-cyborg John Cable, an all black version of robocop that uses two guns. Whether like it, hate it, or neutral... th...

The Dark Knight Rises: The Official Novelization
I haven't read the ones for BB and TDK. Are they any good? And the final scene in the BB novelization is different from the movie. At the end of the novelization, Bruce built a sepulture for Henri Ducard in his family cemetery next to Thomas Wayne. The most touching part was when Alfred asked wheth...

Women in Nolan movies
I do think his female characters are lacking in substance. I don't agree. Natalie and Mal are two of the most intriguing female villains I've ever seen on film while the protagonists were men. And I won't say Ariadne or Ellie Burr lacked depth either, they're just not the main character. (I even fe...

Why The Dark Knight has invigorated the Super-hero Genre
Interesting notion, but I disagree with you on placing all the credit on TDK. The emergent of this particular type of movies in the superhero genre is a process, not an incident. TDK merely marked the monument. I'm going to borrow a few lines from Deep Focus Review regarding both BB and TDK: "When t...

The Flowers of War (2011)
The Chinese title for this movie is at once beautiful and tragic, and very meaningful. Such a shame it can't be translated. It's derived from the classic Chinese novel of the 18th century, 紅樓夢 (Dream of the Red Chamber) . The twelve female lead in that novel were called 金陵十二釵 (Jinling's Twelve Beau...

The Flowers of War (2011)
I love this movie, and I'm in tears for at least half of the runtime. I'm so happy I'm Chinese and don't need subtitles to understand it. Lots of their dialogues are great and some things will inevitably be lost in the translation. And sadly, the greatest of them that got lost will be the Title ! Th...

Dark Knight and The Hero's Journey
Memento The Main Hero (Leonard)'s Journey (that he believed he took) -most are speculations, due to contradictory scenes and unreliable narrators- 1. The ordinary world............. The original life. 2. The call........................... The slam of the door, the death of his wife. 3. Being reluc...

Dark Knight and The Hero's Journey
Memento is a very difficult film to analyze, because there's a big difference between the Journey and the "real" Journey. Memento The Main Hero (Leonard)'s Journey (that he believed he took) -most are speculations, due to contradictory scenes and unreliable narrators- 1. The ordinary world.............

Dark Knight and The Hero's Journey
As I only read about this briefly online (really wish it was featured in one of my courses :( ) I'd love of someone could analyze any of Nolan's other films according to this.. Especially Memento. Any volunteers? :) Fakescorpion, I really enjoyed reading that, thank you :) You're welcome ;) Memento...
