Analysis Of The Film 'The Dark Knight'

The main conflicts in the world of The Dark Knight Returns revolve around escalating crime in Gotham city and forces of the authority attempting to control it. The authority should be a moral force and represent justice. The figures that represent the authority should be selfless and work only to promote the integrity of law and order. Authority proves to be contradictory in Miller’s novel as the authoritative figures express qualities of vigilantism and overall moral ambiguity.

The Joker was once seen as a comical criminal who committed ridiculously silly crimes, such as spreading laughing gas throughout Gotham City. However, after the reinvention of Batman, The Joker was transformed into a grave and terrorizing character. Continuing the course of the new personality given to The Joker, writer Alan Moore and artist Brian Bolland created a graphic novel called The Killing Joke, “a much more complex, darker, and ultimately, frightening story” (Wooldridge) which tells one of the origins of The Joker since The Joker himself is unsure of his true inception. However, this particular graphic novel “isn’t about how the Joker came to be, it’s an examination of

The Dark Knight Rises is a heroic movie. The movie entitles itself as an adventurous movie and is a part of a sequel. In the midst of Harvey Dent death, the Dent Act has granted the Gotham Police Department to give powers to remove planned crimes. Although, James Gordon was a part of the midst, his guilt has taken over. He writes a resignation letter telling the truth in detail about what happened. Bruce became the one to take the blame for Dents death and retires as Batman. The death of Racheal had taken a toll on him and he becomes isolated from society and within his own home. However, Bruce fingerprints become taken from Selina for a plan to take everything he have and the company. He brings Batman back to help stop the violent. On the

Since 1982, there have been over 85 mass shootings in the United States. Of those 85 shootings, three quarters of the weapons used were obtained legally. That means that our background check system has failed. If purchasers were required to undergo a mental health evaluation, numerous lives would be saved. Many mass shooters have shown previous signs of mental instability. Take Jared Loughner, the man who opened fire at a public constituent meeting in a Tucson, Arizona supermarket parking lot wounding 13 people and killing 6. Loughner had been showing signs of mental illness for years. He was even suspended from college for disrupting class and showing bizarre behavior. The college told him he needed to be cleared by a mental health professional before he could return. Instead, Loughner dropped out of school. In addition to his disruptions at school, he had many run ins with law enforcement. In fact, on the day of the shooting,

“Their morals, their code, it’s a bad joke” said Joker, looking straight into Batman’s eyes and his soul. “They’re only as good as the world allows them to be. I’ll show you, when the chips are down, these civilized people, uh, they’ll eat each other.” Joker gives a rather chilling observation of how people would behave in the absence of laws. Along with this scene, there are many other scenes in The Dark Knight where Joker suggests the evil nature of humanity. However, this is a movie after all right? What Jokers can’t be that true, right? Or is he? The Dark Knight is the second installment in the Nolan’s Batman trilogy. In this movie, Gotham faces a new, much more sinister threat in the form of Joker and Batman rallies hard to find the line between Vigilantism and Heroism. According to Movie Pilot, the nature of humanity is determined by the choices made while Pop Mythology asserts that human nature is evil due our animalistic desires and instincts. While humans may perform good and bad actions, overall it is quite difficult to determine whether the human nature is definitively good or evil as there is constant change in the human nature.

When you think of psychology what is the the first name that comes to mind? My guess is that you thought of Sigmund Freud. Even though none of his theories of dreams or sexuality have any empirical evidence, he is still one of the most influential figures in all of philosophy. One of Freud’s ideas that does have substance is the idea that our minds are dynamic and contain both conscious and unconscious memories, thoughts, and desires. Freud labeled these phenomena the id, ego, and superego. While the nuances of this theory are complex and somewhat monotonous, they are brought to life in Christopher Nolan’s The Dark Knight. The chaotic and childish joker (id), the pure and valiant Harvey Dent (superego), and the one responsible for finding a balance between the two, Batman (ego).

Writing essays have never been easy for me. Describing my thoughts and feelings just don't seem to turn into the right words I want to say.

The hardest parts of writing essays for me is coming up with the right things to say that correlate to my argument and doing so under a short period of time.

Throughout “The Dark Knight” by Christopher Nolan crime and deviance is seen throughout the film. Crime and deviance in The Dark Knight has two faces as society accepts crime for those whose are helping them and at the same time punishes those who are punished. Society in Gotham accepts crime when the Batman commits it to help for the betterment of society; however, crime is not accepted when it is committed by mob bosses, gangs, criminal cops, and most importantly through the joker. The forms of deviancy/crime which are seen throughout the film is the Labeling Approach, Human Rights Approach, and Human Diversity Approach.

The film is based off of the original Batman comic book but additionally changes the perception of the everyday world as good to naturally bad. Throughout the movie, Batman stands for honesty and goodness while the Joker is a symbolism of chaos and evil. Both sides are forced to make quick-witted decisions in order to stop the opposing vigilante from doing his desired work. The citizens of Gotham are put in the heart of this circumstance and feel obligated to go against their values to stop the chaos. Numerous people habitually pursue their dreams and values but often become blinded from their

Batman is one of the many fictional superheroes which appears in the “American comic books” that is published by the DC comics. The character is a secret identity for Bruce Wayne, the only heir to Wayne Enterprises. Bruce Wayne swore an oath of vengeance when he witnessed the death of his parents;Thomas Wayne and Martha Wayne (Diamond, 2015). Bat man combats criminals in Gotham: a fictional city, with assistance from various characters, for example, his butler Alfred and Gordon; Gotham city police commissioner. Unlike many of the superheroes characters, Batman possesses no powers .Bruce Wayne trained himself intellectually and physically .it is from dedication to training he possessed the useful traits of physical prowess, martial arts skills, detective skills and indomitable will to fight for justice. Though his motive is to combat crime and protect people of Gotham city from criminals, the justice system in most of the times views Batman as a villain and vigilante. He can inflict fear to Gotham city criminals thereby bringing calmness to the city. I identify myself with the Batman character through his selfless will for justice, his strong determination to do good

Christian Bale plays Bruce Wayne also known as Batman, the protagonist who protects the citizens of Gotham City, but at the same time throughout the movie he is forced to be in difficult situations and has to make difficult decisions. At the same time the police department considers him a vigilante, because Batman acts outside of the law fighting crime differently. The Dark Knight is a plot of a classical paradigm film, but it has some aspect of formalism. In Understanding Movies -13th Edition, “Formalist movies are stylistically flamboyant.

"The Dark Knight" is grimly magisterial. It's a summer blockbuster that contemplates near-total civic disaster: Crowds surge, tractor-trailers flip, and buildings explode, but the pop violence feels heavy, mournful. Light barely escapes the film's gravitational pull.

The Dark Knight, directed by Christopher Nolan, is an action-packed movie set in the fictional city of Gotham. It is a real-life film based on the marvelous comic book hero, Batman. Throughout the movie, there are many philosophical themes portrayed. After closely analyzing the film, I found that some of the most distinct ideas would be that of Hobbes’ theory of human nature. More specifically, Hobbes’ idea that without the security that society offers, humans will become fearful and chaotic. Humans are prone to look towards an authority figure that can provide them protection, and when that figure is taken away, they go into anarchy.
