This is destined to be an uneasy summer season. The rise of the Dark Knight seems to be cursed, and all kinds of strange things keep coming.?

On Sunday afternoon, the Dark Knight Rises suddenly caught fire during a large theater in Guadalajara, Mexico's second largest city. As firefighters arrived in time, more than 8oo viewers had to evacuate in a timely manner. Fortunately, the local fire department reported that no casualties were caused.

But this is not finished yet.

At night, Ohio police confirmed that they had arrested a man carrying a gun and knives in the theater and found a large number of weapons and ammunition in his residence.

According to an announcement issued by Ohio police, they were reminded by a theater manager that the abnormal man was found. When they conducted a cross-examination, they found a "Glock" pistol with bullets, two large-load magazines filled with bullets and four knives in the military bag he was carrying.

This incident once again pushed the Dark Knight Rise to the forefront.

Some protest groups began to appear in Washington, D.C., and they strongly demanded that the Dark Knight Rises be forced to be removed from the market.

There are so many things that have been born one after another. If there is no negative impact on the rise of the Dark Knight, it is impossible. The first one is impacted is the North American box office of the film.

Although it was not officially disclosed to the public and relevant institutions also canceled the routine North American weekly box office rankings, it is not difficult for those with good news to find out that after the Dark Knight Rises scored $25.38 million from North America over the weekend after taking another $52.13 million on Sunday.

This is the second North American film with a box office of over $200 million on weekends, but there is still a clear gap from the box office of the same level as the Avengers expected by Warner Bros.

In other words, the Dark Knight Rises did not meet the expected value.

Just as Duke said, perhaps the shooting attracted too much attention, making the Dark Knight Rises far beyond the scope of the film, and attracted huge curiosity and topics in overseas regions, resulting in an explosion of numbers in the overseas box office week, which won nearly 3500 million US dollars from nearly 100 countries and regions, thus pushing the film's global box office through the 500 million US dollars in one fell swoop. It reached 551.27 million US dollars!

So many things have made the Dark Knight Rise full of topics. Compared with traditional media, the sound on the Internet is easier. It will not be exaggerated at any time.

In real-time sharing, someone commented on the fact that the man with a gun arrested by Ohio police on Sunday was like this. Scott Smith, a 37-year-old man from Ohio, was very scared after seeing the shooting in Santa Monica Commercial Plaza, worried that someone would imitate crimes in a theater near him, but he wanted to watch a movie. So he made a difficult decision and brought a Glock pistol and a few knives to the theater. Even if someone came, he was not afraid or not. Then, he was arrested.

Just like the sound above, what reassures Duke and Warner Brothers the most is that most movie fans are still on the side of the Dark Knight Rises.

"The pervert wants to ruin this movie!"

"The box office in North America is said to have not met expectations, it is entirely due to these scumbags!"

"The shooting is two different things, don't rely on Batman!"

Some movie fans are also not idle when watching the fun. They said this on their instant sharing and Twitter. I can only say that Duke's movie is too mad, and they are afraid that children can imitate it. But James Holmes is an adult and can only blame him for his psychological distortion.

The debate about the rise of the Dark Knight is far from over.?

Since the film was released in China at the same time, even media from the other side of the Pacific joined the discussion.

"The Batman shooting is a tragedy of American system and law, not a tragedy of Hollywood movies!"

This is the title of an article in a southern media across the Pacific, and it can be said to have a clear position.

"A 25-year-old American young man James Holmes shot the audience in the theater while screening the Dark Knight Rises at Santa Monica Commercial Plaza in the Greater Los Angeles area, killing 12 people and injuring 58 people. This is not only a shocking tragedy in the United States, but also attracting discussions around the world."

"Because the killer is obsessed with the character in the film and there are signs of imitating the character, some people think that this is the film that has brought people bad. This view is biased. One reason is that the killer has not seen this new film. If you want to imitate, he is the character played by Heath Ledger before; secondly, there are often unforgivable bad guys in the film. If you want to prevent anyone from imitating, almost all movies except inspirational films must be banned."

"In fact, people with a sound mind can distinguish between the movie world and the real world, and know which behaviors can be learned and which ones cannot be touched. In this sense, the killer imitates the clown played by Heath Ledger. He watched Harry Potter jump from a tall building with a broom and mistakenly treat illusions as reality. Such people are patients and madmen, but the former hurts innocent people, so they are even worse."

"There are crazy perverts everywhere. You can't lock them up when they haven't broken the law, but the US gun management has amplified and worsened the contradiction. What's more unfortunate is that even though they know the problem, the US system cannot be solved. The problem that seems not complicated to other countries is blinded by politics in the United States. The two biggest issues in American politics are guns and abortion. Basically, the two factions each account for half of the population, so it can never be solved."

"Citizens can own guns. This is what was written into the Constitution when the United States was founded. It is a sacred power that many Americans believe is citizens. Not only is it difficult for ordinary Chinese people to understand, but even Americans who advocate restriction of guns are often puzzled. They think that hunting cannot use guns with extremely lethality. Little do they know that people who oppose restriction of guns use possession of guns as a means to restrict government power to leave a way out for defending citizens' power. The far right in the United States has their own militia, guns and ammunition, and often expresses ** words. But as long as there is no specific action, those are not considered illegal."

"American documentary filmmaker Michael Moore once made a far-reaching film called Columbine's Bowling, which tells the story of shootings of students in the local school that year and the calls for restrictions on guns by various sectors. But his political tendencies are too obvious, and it is difficult to convince the opposition in a sarcastic way. In fact, many American middle school students carry guns at school, and such tragedies are difficult to eliminate from the root. You can say that this is the price Americans pay for their so-called freedom."

"But the US Constitution protects freedom of speech, and has the power of guns. Therefore, this tragedy will not essentially harm the rise of the Dark Knight. In the United States, making movies is a kind of expression of speech. In 1981, crazy fan John Hinckley shot President Reagan because she was obsessed with star Judy Foster. Fortunately, the bullet did not hit the deadly part, but it also caused the disability of Reagan's press officer. Hinckley's behavior was obviously a taxi driver in the film played by Foster, but this did not affect the film's film history and the film's career."

"Anyway, what Americans need to review is not movies, but their laws and systems."

Although the rise of the Dark Knight has not been lowered by China, the treatment it encountered is not very good. Under the domestic protection policy of big scissors, this film by Duke was released on the same day as Sony Colombia's Spider-Man, which directly led to the latter becoming a tragedy

The crowds of Hollywood films are the direct result of schedule protection here.

It can be said that the end of this market, the end of a domestic protection month brings the disguised beginning of another protection month. This "unwritten tradition" that defends enemies outside the schedule has also attracted debate among Chinese movie fans, hot discussions, comments, and complaints about why the domestic protection month should be established by default? Is the protection month reasonable? Why can it cause such great controversy and dissatisfaction? Can the domestic protection month really protect domestic films? Can this protection law serve local movie fans and markets? Can other countries also use domestic protection month to protect national films?

To be fair, fighting against Hollywood's massive invasion and supporting and protecting local films is a basic position that most countries in the world hold when exhibiting their film careers. It is understandable that they impose certain restrictions on the circulation of Hollywood movies in their own markets and open up living space for local films. South Korea, France, Italy and other television countries have implemented a mandatory quota system for Hollywood movies.

Protecting and supporting local films is what every country wants and needs, but why is there such a huge controversy in China?

Because he lived in that country and now, Duke can naturally see some of the reasons, which is inseparable from the overly simple and crude approach of large scissors.

During the 12-month period, only domestic films with different quality and quality competed for positions, and almost all-size-fits-all abandoned the introduction of Hollywood blockbusters. This level of protection has lost its service, diversity and sense of choice from the perspective of movie fans. From the perspective of domestic films, the crowding and crowding of domestic large, medium and small films in this period have caused a large or unconsidered film rush. Protecting the moon is not a omnipotent bastion, and domestic films also require strong strength.

Therefore, although the original intention of protecting the country films was to protect the national films, on the one hand, it infringed on the rights and interests of the audience, and lost the hearts of the people, making domestic movie fans lose their selectivity.

When Warner Greater China was doing market research, a representative from the theater company said that Hollywood did have a great impact on Chinese films, but the fundamental reason is that there are quality problems in Chinese films themselves. From the perspective of the audience, they certainly choose to be optimistic about the films.

Do other countries also have a system called protection month? (To be continued.)
