The Dark Knight is a classic movie based on good versus
evil. This film was directed by Chris Nolan, who also directed the film Memento
which I also recently viewed. I tried to link some common characteristics
between the two movies. One I came up with was both films had a vigil anti main
character seeking to take out evil. In Memento it was Leonard and in The Dark
Knight it was batman.
The Dark Knight was definitely a high dollar film with a
vast array of actors and extras. The top acting performance has to be given to
the late Heath Ledger. From research I found Heath really got himself into the
character of the Joker. He mentally took on evil accurately portray evil into
his character. Some would say that this character eventually ended up taking
the life of Heath Ledger. Another great acting performance was by Christian
Bale in his role as the Batman. He changes his voice for the character and
plays the role very well. I don’t think there could really be another fit such
as Christian for the role of batman.
This film definitely used dark colors throughout the movie.
All costumes and clothing was dark in color, black, purple, and dark blue were
some of the top colors throughout the film. This film also used a great deal of
special effects. The use of explosions in car chases kept you on the edge of
your seat. I would recommend the viewing of this film in theaters if possible.
If you cannot view this film in a theater try to watch the movie in a dark room
and hopefully with surround sound. To get the full impact of the movie the
viewer needs to have a full sound experience.
I did not take notice to any music or sound in the movie to
show any type of emotion. Most of the sound was from characters talking or
action scenes with crashes and explosions or fighting. This viewing of the
movie was my third time. I enjoyed it this time just as much as the first. I
would recommend this movie to anyone who enjoys a good action movie.
