The Dark Knight movie Reviews
A Batman Of Shakesperean Proportions 24 July 2008 | by M. J Arocena (New Zealand) – See all my reviews
Dark, yes, complex,
ambitious. Christopher Nolan and his co-writer Jonathan Nolan deserve a
standing ovation. I don't usually go for loud movies filled with
mindless gore and violence. "The Dark Knight" is certainly loud and
violent but it's not mindless. It has depth and soul. Even the Joker, in
an extraordinary creation by Heath Ledger, is deeply human. The natural
petulance of Christian Bale makes his ego and alter ego the most
fascinating and complex of all film superheroes. Part of the genius of
this movie is that Batman himself, in screen time, is not really the
lead. My attention was captivated by Heath Ledger and he determines and
inspires the breathtaking atmosphere that envelopes Gotham as well as
us. The aplomb of Christopher Nolan as a director is mind blowing and
his secret, I believe, is his obvious respect for his audience. What
he's done is to elevate a popular genre into Shakesperean proportions.
Bravo!
