  • I watched The Dark Knight in theatres after 15 years of its original release and it was amazing! The audience was so hyped and engaged with every scene, especially the ones with the Joker. I recorded some of their reactions and compiled them in this video. Check it out and let me know what you think!
    The Dark Knight is one of the best superhero movies ever made, directed by Christopher Nolan and starring Christian Bale as Batman and Heath Ledger as the Joker. It was released in 2008 and received critical acclaim and commercial success. It is widely considered as Ledger’s masterpiece performance, for which he won an Oscar posthumously.

      Well, I understand your point but, it's clear, you're a Christian Bale's fan. Talking about Batman films, specificly, it seems that you've never seen Michael Keaton' movies. It's terrible, how fool a person becomes itself, when is a fanboy.

      Also, when Christian Bale says, "YOU will hunt me. SET THE DOGS ON ME. Because that's what needs to happen, is sometimes, people NEEED to have their faith rewarded !!" that kind of selflessness moves me to tears every time !!

      @@AnupBhatt"Sometimes, people need to have their faith rewarded" strikes a completely different tone these days. When you're older, worn down, tired, and quite frankly, exhausted with life, this does feel like a bittersweet moment even in small doses. TDKR really excelled in delving into the pathos of hope -- having your faith rewarded only comes from sustaining hope, but if hope is dashed at every turn, you lose faith. I really liked how both movies took different avenues in exploring the concepts of hope, faith, and despair, but without forcing the audience to leave feeling like they were beat over the head with dejection.

    I was just reminded how powerful that ending was. Despite the movie title being "the dark knight" i.e. batman, Joker stole most of the spotlight and most of the show throughout the entire film. But somehow the ending reminded us this is Batman's story and put the focus on him in such an effective and amazing way. His sacrifice to undo everything Joker did. Nolan brothers are amazing for coming up with this.

    "Sometimes people deserve more...sometimes people deserve to have their faith rewarded."
    What a line...and what a timeless movie that will go down not just as one of the best superhero movies of all time, but one of the best MOVIES of all time.
    Smart and critical writing. Great mix of practical and special effects. Amazing soundtrack. Awesome character growth. Engaging world building. Top-notch action.
    All these elements make for a great movie...and The Dark Knight has all of those things.
    I feel like this has become more and more tainted as the years roll by...movies now try too hard, or not hard enough, to make something overly complex, or too dummied down.
    The reason this movie did so well is because Nolan didn't let the comics decide and dictate his creative actions, he let them inspire his ultimate direction.
    Matt Reeves did a pretty stellar job too with The Batman (2022), to not let the comics decide, but to inspire (though, it still felt less like a standalone trilogy/movie and more like a spin-off).
    I think the reason The Dark Knight works so well is the simplistic nature of the movie's style. It doesn't have that DCU or MCU coat of paint blotching and smearing, it's all on its own...and it's marvelous. It's not a movie about the characters existing in the world, it's about the world that characters exist in; Bruce Wayne/Batman isn't who he is because he's a character, he is the way he is because the world he dwells in made him that way, it defined his existence; "It's not who I am underneath, but what I do that defines me," is another instance in which we are shown Bruce's expression and admittance to the role of becoming the Batman.
    This is why most super hero movies NEED to introduce Bruce/Batman with the death of his parents, and Nolan does it so fast, but so effectively in Batman Begins.
    Remember that the next time you watch any kind of movie: is it a movie about a world made up of characters, or a movie about characters existing in a world? One is intentionally trying to drive the plot, one is trying to drive the character(s)...sometimes it's a little of both, but it's a dance; it's a necessary give/take that either makes or breaks a film. Usually, your story-arc will work best with the world being built first (think Lord of the Rings/The Hobbit, and how the world was built around the characters, not the characters around the world).
    Even a movie like Superman Returns feels as iconic and separate not just in tone, but in cinematic quality. It came from another time, but the overall expression of building the world first, the characters second doesn't feel lost there. It probably didn't do so well though, because it was another continuation (which is why Man of Steel was needed, and is another one of my favorite superhero movies ever made).
    I never saw this movie in theaters...I wish I had...but I was too young then...I was frightened of Heath's Joker, and now I have nothing but utmost respect for his sacrifice for us all to remember for ages to come.
    RIP, Heath Ledger. You will always be cherished, not just as one of the most iconic depictions of the Joker, but as a well rounded actor, overall. You will, and still are, missed.

    @Funny_How_1995 4 місяці тому +5

    More than fifteen years later, this film remains exceptional in many ways.
    If some people are still not convinced, here are a few arguments. Criticisms regarding Nolan's action scenes, often judged as messy, do not always hold up. Unlike "Batman Begins," where some fight sequences were indeed confusing, "The Dark Knight" offers much clearer and more fluid action scenes. Hand-to-hand combat scenes are few and quickly resolved, avoiding any chance of boredom. The chase scene with the truck is a perfect example of a well-executed action sequence, magnificently orchestrated and visually impressive, keeping the viewer on the edge of their seat.
    The influence of Michael Mann's "Heat" on "The Dark Knight" goes beyond the famous heist scene. The overall atmosphere of the film, with its palpable tension and raw realism, owes a lot to this thriller classic. Comparing "The Dark Knight" to "Spider-Man 2" or Matt Reeves' "The Batman" is thus inappropriate. "The Dark Knight" is not trying to be a traditional superhero film faithful to the comics; it is primarily a gripping thriller that reflects our world, or at least post-9/11 America. Essentially, it’s a crime film with Batman and the Joker added.
    As for those who think the film has "aged poorly," this is far from the truth. Thanks to the use of practical effects and IMAX sequences, Nolan created a visually impressive work that remains timeless. The absence of dubious digital effects gives the film an enduring quality. They even included a real explosion of a hospital, what more could you ask for?
    Regarding the editing, it is hard to see where the criticisms lie. The editing is technically mastered, offering a steady rhythm and constant tension, essential for this type of film. Lee Smith uses quick and precise cuts that make the action scenes fluid and comprehensible. The narrative structure is skillfully managed, allowing smooth transitions between different plotlines and characters, maintaining the coherence of the story. The editing also greatly contributes to the film’s dark and intense atmosphere, with dynamic transitions that highlight the chaos and threat embodied by the Joker. Iconic sequences like the car chase and the interrogation showcase expert use of editing to maximize visual and emotional impact.
    Regarding the characters, the cast is widely recognized as exceptional. Each actor brings depth and nuance to their role, but it is Heath Ledger, in his legendary role as the Joker. It's clear that he's one of the best villains in the history of cinema, easily in the top 2 of this category. We can also discuss Harvey Dent's character arc, which is the most complete and perfectly mirrors Bruce Wayne's evolution.
    It is true that the film is not solely focused on Batman. In this movie, the protagonist is sometimes seen as a pawn in a larger game orchestrated by the Joker. However, this is intentional and part of the film's narrative complexity. Batman is a character in constant evolution, which adds richness to the plot. It’s rare for a film to put its hero in this position, and in this case, it’s a successful gamble.
    Although this film is part of a trilogy, it can be seen as a standalone work with its own narrative arc, introduction, and conclusion. This speaks to the strength of the storytelling and direction, making "The Dark Knight" not only a memorable superhero film but a cinematic masterpiece in its own right.
    It fully deserves the praise it has received and marked a turning point in the superhero genre, setting new standards. There was a before and after "The Dark Knight" in the film industry. Some will always seek to criticize and find faults, but no matter: the film has nothing left to prove. It may not be faithful to the classic comics, but it is undeniably faithful to cinema.
    A true gem.

    When this came out I was in college, and I skipped a class (that I failed) to wait in line with some friends for ten hours to see it at midnight in IMAX in Palisades NY. We’d take breaks in pairs to get food / go to the bathroom. People in line ahead of us were building the original LEGO Tumbler. The TV over our heads was playing the Watchmen trailer on a loop. When we finally got in, we were still not prepared for the religious experience we were about to have. Getting out at 3am, the line for the next showing stretched even further than ours did. People were asking us if it was really that good. We could barely speak. I still remember getting home at 4am in a daze, and talking about it with my manager the next day (he caught the 3am show). The Dark Knight may not be the greatest movie of all time, but that was the greatest moviegoing experience of my life. I don’t think it’ll ever be topped, and I don’t really want it to be.
