BvS The Official Zack Snyder Directs Everything Thread - Part 3

haha... this is exactly what i wanna say but the opposite way.

you think by explaining, it can change bruce's / batman's perception???

that's how powerful the 'Martha' word is to Bruce. and the movie has put so much ink and emphasis on it.

put yourself into bruce's shoe... you thought you are still the good guy doing the right thing... and all a sudden your enemy saying you are letting them kill martha... your mother... your deep wound... wouldn't you pause to find out why?

The death of Bruce's mother has clearly impacted him more than the death of his father, and that would make sense for a young boy, especially reinforced in his father's last words.
It's really not a difficult leap to make, especially when you know at his depth Bruce knew Superman was trying to do the right thing he just convinced himself otherwise due to well defined reasons.

amateurish writing???

i think it's more of philosophical writing...

Joseph Campbell's quote is the theme of the movie...

“And where we had thought to find an abomination, we shall find a god;"
refer to Lex, he found superman who saved him from another abomination.

"where we had thought to slay another, we shall slay ourselves;"
refer to bruce / batman. the batmonster he had became he managed to slay it in the end.

"where we had thought to travel outward, we shall come to the center of our own existence; where we had thought to be alone, we shall be with all the world.”
refers to superman... he traveled alone to north pole to find answer and then returned to embrace his world...

epic, isn't it?

problem is people prefer pop-culture, Simple words for simple minds... everything must be drawn on the wall bold & clear...

There's a difference between subtlety, inferring a a plot point and flat out ignoring it.

Stop pretending BvS is some complex cleverly written character study, at its core it's an extremely dumb and flawed concept. I mean the film is built around a fight for which the justification and resolution and full of holes! I realise they gave Luthor a lot of wordy dialogue in an attempt to fool people into thinking they were watching something clever and refined, but it doesn't work like that.

The whole thing was just stupid, added to that the director is a 50 year old frat boy who's understanding of these characters barely goes beyond "they have big muscles and they punch things".
