The Dark Knight And Inception

When I was eleven years old, I perused through the video store looking for the perfect movie to watch. Having just rented all three Pirates of the Caribbean movies, I needed something new to quench my thirst for action movies. The dark, mysterious cover of Christopher Nolan’s The Dark Knight had me instantly hooked; I needed to watch it. After watching the movie for the first time, my life was never the same again.

Having artfully explored the origins of the caped crusader in Batman Begins, director Christopher Nolan puts Gotham City under a completely new perspective in The Dark Knight, the thrilling second instalment of his superb reinvention of the superhero franchise.

In 2005 Christopher Nolan spearheaded the commercial re-boot of the Batman franchise with the movie Batman Begins, the movie achieved wide critical acclaim, and, subsequently generated, talk of a sequel. In the summer of 2008, after a vast amount of advertising and viral marketing, the highly anticipated sequel was finally released. The film 'The Dark Knight' grossed almost $67,165,092 in its first day and went on to break countless box office records. Later the next year the film won 2 Oscars and was nominated for a further 6, one award won was the 'Best Supporting Actor' award which the late Heath Ledger posthumously received, for his portrayal of the 'Joker'. Due to Ledger's untimely death the film gained even more

Nolan’s ability to display the character’s dark side as well as to express his own has made him who he is today. His movie Batman: The Dark Knight is the resurrection to the Batman series. With a box office of 1.005 billion dollars, Batman: The Dark Knight is being considered one of the most successful commercial movies. While being a commercial movie, Batman: The Dark Knight is rated 9/10 by film critics. Also, the majority of Nolan’s movies are rated over 8/10 by critics.

Mental illness is heavily stigmatized in the media, whether it is in articles, books or movies, the character or person is attributed with a mental disorder which is stigmatized or exaggerated for the sake of entertainment. The stigmatizing of mental disorders is unfair to those who have a mental disorder. The viewers of media are viewing those with the disorders as “psychotic” or “crazy”, which is inaccurate and brings injustice to those who are affected. The character’s disorder in the media provides vague and inaccurate causes and treatments. In the movie series “The Dark Knight Rises” and television series “Dexter”, the characters Joker and Dexter are attributed with the mental disorder antisocial personality disorder, creating the stigma that those with the disorder are “Psychotic killers” through their symptoms and actions, as well as their treatments and causes.

That’s a wicked stance. DC’s story-telling is remarkable, but just like all superhero comics (and truthfully, everything else in media), there have been complaints of the objectification of women. The idea of placing superheroes in attractive clothing (women and men) have been around for three-fourths of a century, so the visualization would be hard to pull away from. However, Ivy's character could easily be made to fit Chastain’s standards. These should be mandatory for all female superhero standards. DC with Warner Bros. are the perfect choice to accomplish this! They have already done an extraordinary job with one of the most show-stealing introductions: Wonder Woman, in Batman v Superman. The regular cinema's disenfranchising rules they

The movie Inception by Christopher Nolan is a very imaginative film. It is about a group of con-men (and a woman) who are going to attempt “inception” or implanting an idea in a person. To do this they have to go into their dreams deep enough so that they think it is their own idea, not a foreign one. To achieve their goal they go deeper and deeper into the target's mind by going into a dream within a dream within a dream. There are many challenges and rules to this process. There are many non-canon theories about the movie as well, such as underlying plotlines and endings.

In online post forums critiquing Batman Begins, the majority of people evaluated the film based on the comic books as well as comparison to two previous Batman films (Batman and Robin and Batman Forever). In other words, everything relied upon the “Batman brand,” an unmistakable social construct, to evaluate the film. If this film is a to be evaluated based on the director, Christopher Nolan, why did society mention him the

Christopher Nolan is an auteur and postmodern filmmaker. He started off making low budget ‘indie’ films, his first being Doodlebug. He has now risen to being one of the biggest names in Hollywood and creating blockbusters that not only are visual masterpieces but thought provoking journeys. He respects film as an art form, thus allowing him to create some of the top ranked films this century and The Dark Night and Momento are even classed among the greatest films of all time. He has 122 major wins and 163 nominations, most notably three Oscars, three golden globes and three BAFTAS. His films have grossed a total of US$4.2 billion making him, not only one of the most visionary, but one of the most successful directors of all time. Many say “what he’s trying to be is some kind of modern Kubrick. I think he’d be better off being a modern Hitchcock ” I believe he is a mix of the two, both pleasing the general audience and those that are there for intellectual stimulation. After Doodlebug gained him critical attention he then moved on to a bigger project, Following. The films I will analyse are The Prestige and Interstellar, which are films filled with his trademark of non-linear storytelling, grand-camera angles and powerful diegetic and non-diegetic sounds.
