In November 2017, the 'Justice League' was launched. During the last few months, amid all the chaos that echoed from the Warner offices, the comings and goings, the only light these DC fans had was "Wonder Woman" which, by far, was going to be a movie. perfect, it was like a solid product, of enviable beauty and the style and prestige that characterizes director Snyder.
Until then, no film in the macro project had been a commercial failure. Superman', a film already in full Snyder style, without "tutelage" by Christopher Nolan, who had been involved in the cornerstone of the project:' Man of Steel '. But this clash of the titans between two colossi of pop culture, two myths, two brands, resulted in the collection desired by Warner Bros.
With his eyes more focused on the neighbor, he has already released two Avengers movies that exceeded the billion mark, with an Iron Man 3 that also this figure, knowing that 'Captain America: Civil was also going to reap another great success of box office around the world, Warner wanted to eat that cake.
Who would not?
This DC cinematic universe already had a course, a set route, but in Warner they saw their star director, Snyder, as the main and fundamental obstacle they had to aspire to in order to touch the sky as Marvel Studios did.
A family tragedy, the worst thing that can happen to a parent, was the perfect resource for a trading card. Warner, along with well-known babysitters Geoff Johns and Jon Berg, put Joss Whedon at the top of the league with the goal of cutting and modifying the film to achieve an accessible and friendly product for the general public.
Make it happy, colorful, fun, and revealing. We already know the result. And without being a bad product in itself for being efficient, it may be fair to say that everyone should expect more of these 20th century myths that have been carried over to the big screen. We didn't even have a solid soundtrack for that. The opera and the epic had disappeared to give way to humor, sometimes terribly childish, sometimes successful, but also sometimes, and it is fair to say, in very bad taste.
Warner knew exactly what he had done. Since the launch of Justice League, all the truths surrounding this project and the circumstances that its protagonists lived through have gradually been revealed. A movie that should have been an event for pop culture lovers and eventually headlined geeks, like the one that ended Superman DoomsDay and saved the world from him. This time we did not get a saved world, but a destroyed one. Where was the hope? Where has love gone? Where was that ring?
A movement, a war on the Internet, two opposing sides and others who have remained silent. There was also aggressiveness. And radicalism. There it was on both sides. There was also a lot of humiliation. Today those who fought are heroes. They honored the S for Superman that he wears on his chest. There was always hope. Even days of darkness, but the spark was always there, as strong and eternal as the memory of a teenage love. What would become a mass pop product has become the most important film phenomenon in recent years.. This movie is for him and especially for her. It's for us. It is for those who believe. And that's why it's even more painful to put yourself in Zack Snyder's shoes.
But we don't need perfect movies. We need movies that are remembered. That they last. That awakens and inspires. Thanks to those of you who have fought on the front lines. You fought for this "cut" yesterday. Tomorrow we will fight to end this story.
In conclusion, I would like to say, without being opportunistic, that Jared Leto is the best Joker that we deserve. Words cannot express what I felt when I saw it. Thanks for this gift.
