Holy fuck! The Dark Knight! (no spoilers...just analysis and highlights)

[Klover]

I know some threads have been made regarding this......

but
HOLY FUCK

The acting was spectacular to the point that the emotions the character was feeling placed itself upon the audience. My heart was racing during several scenes and empathy was easy in regards to every character's situation. Not just the main characters...but every. single. character. The cop in the car who's family member was in a Hospital to the people on the boats.


The writing was flawless. Yes, flawless. Every line had a meaning to the plot as a whole and was delivered perfectly in sync with the characters attitude/emotion.


The games played back and forth between the Joker and Batman were played out in such an immaculate way that the audience felt as if they were part of the schemes as well.


The themes...
omg.


Some in particular, without giving anything away:

The detonator sequence scene on the two boats - BY FAR THE MOST IMPORTANT SCENE IN THE WHOLE MOVIE - and the conclusion
The responsibility of Fox being in charge of the Sonar/GPS thing.
Gordon-Batman-Harvey triangle...and the Joker "winning"
The letter to Bruce
How Batman must be seen in the end

and a ton more.

There were so many interconnecting themes and motifs overlapping one another...yet they blended and flowed PERFECTLY.


As for Heath Ledger?
Um.....one of the best acting performances I have ever seen on film. Period.
There was no Heath in this movie....all you saw was the Joker...All you saw was the raw character that was meant to be there and a big 'fuck you' to any expectations to what comes next.



Probably the best script/writing that will be seen in a movie this year.....depending on how "Quantum Of Solace" goes in November.


If you have not seen it, go do so.

They're saying that Heath will get nominated but not be awarded a posthumous Oscar...what do you think?

I can't wait to fucking see this; i just got home from Maui and too tired to go see at the moment though lol

I donno heath ledger did really good in this movie.. but i donno if it was him or the director but he seemed held back a bit from acting "insane", i mean.. yeah he did some "crazy" stuff but his over all character was just more evil than it was insane -- personally that is what i was hoping for and what it seemed hyped up to be.



Dont get me wrong the movie was amazing and all.


The ending really did leave people saying "wtf" (if you know batman that is *shrug*, others who dont have a clue what its about can go in and say its the best movie evar =P )

Heath Ledgers acting, like i said i donno if it was himself or the director but i think he could have done ALOT better than what was played -- more for insanity purposes than the "evil" feel

Two Face .. lol they didnt do well on him at ALL.. the actor yes it was a good choice for an actor and all.. but the makeup.. omg.. two face is not supposed to look like a trauma victim, his eyeball bothered me the entire time he was in the movie. Overall he looked like a Zombie/Trauma Victim i donno "Braaaiiiiinnss"



I cant think of anything else that bothered me.. despite what im saying here the movie was fucking amazing, I just like to pick movies apart *shrug* and i would pay to see it again and again =P

lol sounds like someone i know. i thought the movie was worth it's hype.

favorite line: "you complete me."

While watching heath play joker, i came to the conclusion that johnny depp might make a badass joker as well.


Bruce wayne is such a deuschbag when he's not bein' batman, he reminded me of the rich british kids from the Rise of Taj

bruce wayne has to be an asshole, it's part of his disguise. if he was like harvey dent ppl would expect him to be batman

i saw the dark knight yesterday and duuuude. it blew me out of the water. i came in there with a kinda iffy stance on how heath ledger was going to do as the new joker, but once i saw his first appearance i just immediately knew he was gonna be phenomenal. only thing that really annoyed me was that gravelly voice that batman does. it sounded like clint eastwood with a cold and any sentence with more than five words started to sound very funny.
other than that everything was great. and yes, the part with the two boats was one of the best.
one of the coolest new things is batman can turn his head now! thats a definite improvement! sort of...i'll miss the michael keaton "bat-turn"

i really do hope ledger gets that posthumous oscar.

1. lol yeah, did anyone else notice that whenever batman or the joker got angry they would sound like a deathmetal vocalist?

2.so much for no spoilers. two-face wasn't in the previews and no one would know that he's Harvey Dent unless they're major dc fans


3. wow...i didn't realize til just now that batman never turns his head

if they don't know batman enough to know that Harvey dent is two face, i doubt they care about a tiny spoiler like that.

Btw, part of their promoting was billboards of harvey dent, withe the caption "I support harvey dent!" and then 24 hours later all were spray painted black around the eyes and "too" added on to the caption.

get the pun?

You know too bad Tim Burton couldn't have made one or two Batman movies so we could've seen Billy Dee Williams's Harvey Dent turn into Two-Face. A black Two-Face played by Lando Calrissian and directed by Tim Burton? How awesome would THAT have been?

Wanna see a magic trick? im gonna make this pencil dissapear.

OMFG THAT WAS THE BEST INTRODUCTIONS TO A CHARACTER EVER.
