Everything about the film was amazing. Everything. The whole mood and story and the characters… everything. It’s just so different from your typical superhero movie. This one is not about how cool and powerful the hero is. It’s a story about villains and being human and morals and society. The movie’s impact is amazing. More than 24 hours after and I’m still here soaking up everything I can about it.
Of course, we’re all talking about The Joker. He probably had more scenes than Batman himself. And we all love how his character was made to be and how Heath Ledger was so freakingly amazing. (Trivia: Even Michael Caine was so freaked out by Heath Ledger’s performance, he forgot his lines. Source: click here). He was so convincing, it made me wonder if the character got into him and somehow influenced his death.
Yes, I’m also crazy about Joker. But I’m also crazy about the director, Christopher Nolan. I’m now an official fan. Other than the two latest Batman movies, his filmography also includes The Prestige and Memento. I love the dark and brooding mood of the films, how the characters are so human and/but twisted, and how the movies has a lasting impact on you (I bet you spent hours on post-movie analysis after watching The Dark Knight). It’s depressing, but I love it. If I ever write a novel, I want it to be as powerful as Nolan’s movies.
