The Dark Knight is simply one of the best movies I have seen and it is definitely the best superhero movie ever made. What intrigued me about the movie more than anything was the theme, idea and moral of the movie. Beyond the message that was being communicated, the way that message was communicated made the move 100 times better. The movie is about 2 and half hours, but not once are you bored. The theme to the movie is that in world of chaos, no one has morals and that when people's backs are put against the world, they will turn on anyone to make things better for themselves, was extremely powerful and thought provoking. The teacher of that lesson could not have been any better than the Joker, who in my opinion, is the best villian in any comic series or superhero movie. Again, what is intriguing about the Joker is his philosophy and how he lives by that philosophy to create a world of chaos. He truly has no feelings and wants the world to feel his pain. The scene where he burns the pyramid of money is my favorite moment that shows just how careless the Joker he is. He cannot be stopped because he has no motivation, that is a powerful statement. Batman was great too. Watching the transformation and the struggles, the Joker made Batman face was really interesting and gave the movie an unexpected edge. The darkness of this movie is great and takes the kid-ish element of the previous Batman movies away. I really hope there is a third movie and I definitely plan to see this movie twice.
Why So Serious?
