The Dark Knight

Unexpected Journey, and The Dark Knight Rises all came out during this year. Each movie piqued the anticipation of fans everywhere. For me, the last of these three seemed the most intriguing. Christopher Nolan, fresh off the brilliant Inception was concluding his epic The Dark Knight Trilogy. The Dark Knight became one of the best sequels ever, so I expected The Dark Knight Rises to live up to Batman Begins, at least. Unfortunately, lightning did not strike twice because The Dark Knight Rises, while still

The film, The Dark Knight, used visual design in order to support the genre, create a sense of time and place, portray the characters, and create a mood. Visual design supported the film’s genre of drama through the drastic change in lighting that was used. Throughout the film there is a direct difference between the lighting used for the protagonist, Bruce Wayne/Batman, the antihero, Harvey Dent, and the antagonist, the Joker. There is direct tension between Bruce Wayne and Harvey Dent, the reason

manipulative, toxic and evil villains Gotham is infested with. In the opening scene of The Dark Knight Rises, Commissioner Gordon delivers a speech to honor the late Harvey Dent, former Gotham mayor, and his major contribution in ridding the city’s criminal activity. Dent was a symbol of hope and restoration from the economic decline Gotham faced and the gang activity that terrorized the streets. Batman 2: The Dark Knight introduced the villainous Joker and his psychotic madness which led to Dent’s own decline

The Dark Knight Drama Films are a genre that show serious stories, they’re more realistic than other genres out there because quite often they deal with real life situations. The characters always have some kind of conflict; they show humans at their worst, best, and in-between. There’s a wide range of themes for drama films, to name just a few: current issues, societal ills, injustice, political unrest, corruption of power, and corrupt societal institutions. The Dark Knight touches on quite a

"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. Yet flitting through this 10-ton expressionist murk is a diseased butterfly with stringy hair and a maniacal giggle. Played by a dead actor, he's the most alive thing here. It's not quite fair to say that the late Heath Ledger

The Dark Knight The Dark Knight is an action hero film from 2008 directed and co-written by Christopher Nolan. It is Christopher Nolan’s second film based on the comic hero Batman, and it’s the second movie to the 2005 Batman Begins. As Roger Ebert explains, “It creates characters we come to care about. That’s because of the performances, because of the direction, because of the writing, and because of the superlative technical quality of the entire production.” The stars include Christian Bale

this stereotype. His name: Batman. Batman has been around for nearly seventy-five years and has evolved into a a very controversial character. Some people may see Batman as a dark figure who is not a hero, but a nuisance, while others may see him as something greater than a superhero. In Christopher Nolan’s, The Dark Knight, released in 2008, Batman is a character who is seen in a different way than previous iterations. Instead of just a crime-fighting hero, Batman is presented as something greater

Clearly the name of the movie The Dark Knight is referring to the batman. He is the knight that protects Gotham and its people of any threats, but he is a dark knight because he protects Gotham in shadows and most of the scenes in the movie of him in the batman suit is at night. And of course, a hero needs a villain and that villain is Joker. Movie starts with Joker robbing a bank and telling all the robbers to kill each other and in the end, he is alone standing, which shows how twisted and crazy

character to character allows the viewer to understand the differences between them such as their values and overall message. Throughout the movie “The Dark Knight” lighting allows for the directors subliminal meaning to come through. As the name of the movie suggests, “The Dark Knight,” the overall tone of the movie is set in the darkness. This dark atmosphere allows for an eerie feeling, tension to build up, and an anxious feeling for the viewer. This corresponds with how the movie itself is broken

Within the film The Dark Knight, one of the many techniques used was symbolism. One of the symbols that was portrayed throughout the film was Two-Face’ coin, it represents how Two-Face leaves his choices up to chance, but since the coin got burnt everything equals a messy death. When it comes down to it everything is a life or death situation although there were a few scenes that showed that Two-Face didn’t always listen to what the coin said because “he makes his own luck” (Nolan 2008).
