sorry, but the dark knight was a cinematic masterpiece. it's 4;30 am and i can't go to sleep because i'm still so excited over it. my mind is racing. and the funny thing is, i'm not even that big into batman.
the movie was eerie, dark, chaotic and kind of terrifying yet still was successful in getting a message across about human nature, and how compelling the soul of a city can be, especially when it is at the mercy of a madman. at the center of this chaotic whirlwind of explosions , cars, guns and inner turmoil is the joker- and seriously, believe the hype about ledger's performance. if anyone tells you that he was overrated, along with this film, you can flat out tell them they are mistaken, for this film truly is a cinematic milestone that can really be considered an epic. i am not exaggerating. praise for heath's terrifying performance is in no way sympathy related because he is dead. i fucking got chills down my spine watching him, every little thing made the joker more realistic- the sick, unnerving way he looked and spoke with his eyes, the pronounciation of his words, the walk, the voice- all so fantastically sinister. Eckhart blew me away too- his portrayal of Harvey Dent was true to the comic book, i think- he had a lot of heart, and ambition, and was overshadowed by heath, though. but the turmoil his character went through, physically and emotionally, he did very well, he made a smooth transition from a polished city mayor to a spiteful and crazed villian with ease. christian bale was perfect , as always, and played his role exactly right, he didn't over-act, or downplay the importance of the inner conflict he was facing, in addition to having harvey dent and the joker to deal with. plus, gary oldman was in it, he was brilliant, as was michael caine, and morgan freeman too! and the soundtrack, oh my god here comes hans zimmer to the rescue again, delivering an ominous, brooding and powerful score. the music enhanced every scene to the maximum and i plan on getting my hands on that soundtrack as soon as possible.
i like writing movie reviews. in fact, whenever i am done watching a film i really enjoy analyzing it and trying to find the correct words to express how it made me feel. i should do it more often, it feels really good.
i really would love to write more but it's really late. anyway, go see batman.
