The Dark Knight
“I believe whatever doesn’t kill you simply makes you… stranger” The Joker
Heath Ledger was the man. His death is a big loss for the cinema. His performance as The Joker in The Dark Knight is just unbelievable and unforgettable. The first word I can think of is “powerful”. Powerful as the whole movie, which is a real masterpiece. A dark, tortured masterpiece that shows that if you want to keep justice and order in a city like Gotham, you can’t be a hero everybody likes and if you want to stop criminals, you sometimes have to act like them. Even though this way of being has its consequences…
I thought Batman Begins was excellent and now I have a problem because I can’t find a word to define correctly its sequel. When you have a bunch of such great actors (Heath Ledger, Gary Oldman, Aaron Eckhart, Morgan Freeman, Michael Caine, Christian Bale) to serve such a fantastic plot, it has to be really good ! Oh, and Mr Nolan, if you want to do a third Batman movie, don’t hesitate ! One piece of criticism, though: why did you replace Katie Holmes by Maggie Gyllenhaal as Rachel Dawes ? There are so many beautiful actresses in Hollywood…
I could write more but it’s nearly impossible to describe these 152 minutes of ecstasy without destroying their magic. So watch this awesome movie !
