The Dark Knight


OH MAN!!! the Dark knight flippin ruled!!!! oh man.. i wanna see it again! and again! and AGAIN!!!

This is the main thing I'm feeling after seeing it..

Utter amazement at the brilliance of Heath Ledger's acting. [R.I.P]
and disgust at the Joker and his wacked mind.

The Dark knight is beyond any other superhero movie and this is why:

It includes the sociology side of being a superhero and what one has to do to beat the most evil of villains: the Joker. It takes the plot line of the "Saw" movies, removes all the gore, proving once again that it is not needed, and puts it into a superhero movie.

That is, introducing the concept: "How many people will you let die to stay secret", which is very similar to Saw's "how many people will you kill to stay alive". These two similar tag lines fit extremely well with the Joker, whose twisted mind desires no money or jewels just anarchy and pain. The amazing planning and preciseness of the Joker makes every sit at THE VERY EDGE of their seats.

It truly is a great movie, Heath Ledger did everyone proud.

Just a thought...
