There is a nice angle from the top-hunting at the beginning of The Dark Knight, as Bruce Wayne (Christian Bale) obligation in full, Batman, as he perches on the top of a skyscraper Gotham, the city survey work, he lives to protect , Then skip and its bat wings spread majestic swoop in the night. Bruce is also the way film. He draws a descent into moral anarchy, and each of its major characters low point. Some will never get broken by the contact of the poor or, as a deadly infection by itself.
The Dark Knight, Christopher Nolan the second chapter of his renewal of the DC Comics franchise, suggests all theatre with the threshing and the greed of the summer season fanboy earlier films based on the comic. It is the fifth, and three of the first four (Iron Man, Hellboy Wanted and II) were fantastic, or slightly less of it. (The Incredible Hulk: not so hot.) He was one of the best summer in memory hard Blockbuster Entertainment, and in the category wow, Nolan the film not be disappointed. True format, he held a crusade, a sneering villain Heath Ledger in the Joker to spectacular - Batman, in which an on-Gestreift below Batmobile, a monster with motorcycle-truck wheels - and many things explode. The equality in fact the figures, with Reese’s Pieces suggest that it is a fast-food film.
But Nolan has a more subversive agenda. He wants the audience in their hands, the rat hole of bad and see if they are to sew. With a little humor to break the tension, The Dark Knight is after dark. It is also black - and grouillant and toxic - that the spirit of the wild. Batman Begins, film of 2005, the number Nolan, was barely five fingers of the year. This is the symphony.
Gotham has a new white knight: a district without fear, Harvey Dent (Aaron Eckhart), nab the culprits identified by the law with the same enthusiasm as Batman, The Dark Knight, shall apply with gadgets and his charisma. The Mob (under the direction of Eric Roberts), they can handle it, with the help of police loyal lieutenant James Gordon (Gary Oldman). But the Joker - the guy is nuts. It deals with the mass, by then. It is a point with his pencil to beat in a head-gangsters. “This city,” he says, deserves a better group of criminals. “This also applies to the activities films, and it is here, they committed themselves to reduce Batman Dent, just the pleasure crazy.
In its considerations to overcome and a source schlock, The Dark Knight is up there with David Cronenberg version of 1986, The Fly. It makes the dough in the darkness of night of poetry. Like the film can be found in the metaphors of cancer, AIDS and death in the history of a man in a flyer delegate, so that the seals nature of identity. Who are we? Bruce has lost, even in the myth of the hero? Batman is his character or bad? Then crusade Dent live nickname (Double-Face) rancorous some policemen have épinglé to him? Only the Joker seems unconflicted. He knows what it is: an “agent of chaos.” Your worst nightmare.
No, really. The villain, as he was by Nolan and screenwriter Jonathan and his brother with authority embodied by the cold Ledger, is not the elegant sadistic numerous action films, nor the strutting show played by Jack Nicholson in Tim Burton Batman in 1989. It’s not a father figure or a macho man. And so he invented various stories of how his (facial and mental) scars, it is not as the sum of injustice for him. The Joker is quite simply one of the twists and enchanting slips in the history of film.
And the actor, died on 28 January a random excessive prescription drugs, is great. In response to the Psychopathie tricky and frightening voice songs by Anthony Hopkins in Silence of the Lambs (Hannibal Ledger), Grand book brings the risk of a disturbed punk star as Sid Vicious, which he allegedly as one of the templates for his character. The Joker is no rules, no great scheme, it is the terrorism of improvisation as an artist. The evil is his tenor saxophone, Armageddon its melody. Why, he can skip a trip hospital or in the normal mass murderers of people for their own lives to save.
The Joker May crazy, but it is a clever judge character. He knows that Batman has two places at risk his girlfriend Rachel Dawes (Maggie Gyllenhaal and takes the role Katie Holmes had in the first film) and his identity hidden. This is the Joker begins preying on the street Rachel, and he says that he stop the terror if Batman Gotham appears under the mask. A modest request of bin Laden film of evil, Bruce is still reticent. Or rather, the film is, since the principle of openness is the continuation of the series. No secret, no Batman - moneybags just a complex with a messiah.
The other hero on a downward spiral, the Prosecutor of the Republic. He is brave and ballsy enough to address the mass and the joker, but a tragedy if its debt roil, Dent is folded. Vieux-two-against has the task of his, and how the Joker, he can become a man and a fever - but with some of the poignance of classical tragedy.
The chaos sown and torture, of saints or foam are so great that persistent and it is a miracle and a mystery rates, why The Dark Knight snagged a PG-13 ratings. (Do not take your 9-year-old son unless you think that he use a child to see how it tremble in fear of firearms in a kept at the forefront of a sympathetic character before.) But the children have difficulty with the film, and even less understood. For adolescents and adults, this is a belt travel, beautiful and has assured that only a large budget picture can be. (Part of which has received a ball in the IMAX process, the action scenes an astonishing clarity and depth.) And to calm down, Nolan again the old friends of Batman Begins: Michael Caine as butler Alfred Bruce and Morgan Freeman as Fox, the care of Bruce toys.
In fact, they are just the diversion of the historic face-off of Bruce and the Joker. For a good part of the film, when the two gather in a free fall of the souls - convicted, the other in danger - May you think that you are under the influence of a masterpiece bite. This feeling, that the film also runs many of its introduction last moments of the series’ third instalment. The cooling will continue, though. The Dark Knight is committed to long umtreibt that you have said yourself, Aah, it is only a comic-book movie.
A imperishable, spectacular and chaotic film glossy. The Dark Knight still has the essence should be available to be used for the transfer of the great comic screen. Sequence after sequence is the absolute glory. A great film that not only a picture to breathe. An ode to chaos and anarchy, while the shares inevitably face, a way to get dirty, black and hostile. A real Gotham City, dominated by the fear.
It is the best film of the year. But, ladies and gentlemen, The Dark Knight belongs to a group where no adjustment could be funny.
Thank you Christopher Nolan. Simply, thank you for a film that is much more typical that the film is based on the comic.
