Foram partes de The Dark Knight Rises um comentário sobre o movimento Occupy?

Em uma entrevista com Rolling Stone , o diretor Christopher Nolan insiste que seu filme é apolítico:

In the new movie, you have Bane more or less trick Gotham's 99 percent into rising up against the rich – is that intended as an anti-Occupy Wall Street statement?

I've had as many conversations with people who have seen the film the other way round. We throw a lot of things against the wall to see if it sticks. We put a lot of interesting questions in the air, but that's simply a backdrop for the story. What we're really trying to do is show the cracks of society, show the conflicts that somebody would try to wedge open. We're going to get wildly different interpretations of what the film is supporting and not supporting, but it's not doing any of those things. It's just telling a story. If you're saying, “Have you made a film that's supposed to be criticizing the Occupy Wall Street movement?” – well, obviously, that's not true.

But the movie certainly suggests that there's a great danger of populist movements being pushed too far.

If the populist movement is manipulated by somebody who is evil, that surely is a criticism of the evil person. You could also say the conditions the evil person is exploiting are problematic and should be addressed.

Eu tenho lido um pouco sobre esse assunto, e a maioria dos artigos dos relatórios que tenho lido indicam que o roteiro estava em desenvolvimento bem antes dos eventos de 'Ocupar Wall Street' - há vários paralelos, e há um artigo em theweek.com que resume bem as visões opostas.

Para:

Nolan casts Bane as the leader of a "ragtag movement with a propensity for violence" against the wealthy, evoking Occupy Wall Street. "Bane's henchmen literally attack Wall Street, savagely beat the rich, and promise the good people of Gotham that 'tomorrow, you claim what is rightfully yours.'" The movie is a damning indictment of the anti-corporate movement and the threat of social chaos it poses.

But Nolan sympathizes with Occupy Wall Street: While director (and co-screenwriter) Nolan claims that his movie is "above partisanship," Rises clearly has a "down-with-the-system undercurrent."

Over the three films, Batman has "oscillated between seemingly opposite poles" — "savior and destroyer, human and beast, the ultimate radical individualist and people's protector." The distinctions between his two sides have "grown progressively messier," and it's impossible to force his character into a black-and-white, liberal v. conservative framework.

Eu acho que você pode fazer a sua escolha - no entanto, vale a pena lembrar que muitos pensaram O Cavaleiro das Trevas ao lado da metodologia de Bush ao lidar com terroristas ...

Não. Enquanto Nolan não faz segredo de que os eventos atuais (especialmente aqueles que alimentam nossos medos, como a crise financeira global) influenciam o tom e os temas de seus filmes, a escrita e filmagem da TDKR estava quase completa no outono de 2011 - pouco antes do Occupy. movimento começou a fazer grandes manchetes.

Eu pensei que era uma visão muito moderna sobre a revolução francesa, o tribunal de Cranes, para a tomada da prisão, poder para o povo. Parece muito semelhante à tomada da Bastilha: decapitação da nobreza, as cortes de justiça falsas, derramamento de sangue implacável, e a adição da palavra cidadão ao povo da França.
