The Dark Knight
The movie that I chose to write about was Chris Nolan’s
superhero film The Dark Knight. This is one of my favorite movies and I believe
that it has a lot to do with film theory. The film is based on DC comic
character Batman played by Christian Bale. This film is packed with a lot of
action and shows a lot of visually cool scenes. Heath Ledger played Batman’s
nemesis in the film the Joker. I believe that Ledger’s character in the film is
what made the movie as great as it was. The reason why this movie is my
favorite superhero film is because the Joker was always one step ahead of
Batman and the police.
One of the most visually coolest scenes in the movie was
when the Joker broke out of jail and the police were on a high speed chase
trying to catch him. Although that scene was very short being a film major, I
could appreciate the little things that happen in movies. Batman is my favorite
superhero so every time I watch this movie it is like I’m viewing it for the
first time. I believe that even if you are not a fan of Batman you could go and
see this movie and be amazed at how good it is. When watching other superhero
films I become very disappointed with how the amount of action involved because
I compare them to the action in the Dark Knight. Director Chris Nolan followed
the Dark Knight with the Dark Knight Rises. The Dark Knight Rises is also a
great movie but I believe that once you come out with a movie that is as great
as the Dark Knight it is very had to produce a sequel that is better than the
original.
