Like we talked a little bit about in class, the movie I picked is "The Dark Knight". The actors with their skills alone deserve an award. The way they portrayed their characters was phenomenal. They were easily able to pull their audience into the story. Each character was defined by the actor playing them, in their role and purpose. Like in the scene where the Joker first proposes disposing of Batman to the gang leaders, you can feel how psychotic his intentions were. My favorite was the "Joker". Heath Ledger played the Joker like no one has before him. Each scene with his character became an unpredictable enjoyment.
The story itself was very well-written. With so many twists and turns in it. An example of this is when two of their
characters are rigged to bombs in
separate warehouses, and Batman is given the choice of whom to save. The unpredictability of the movie always kept the next scene interesting.
The sets built only added to the overall dark, mysterious feeling of the movie. The Batman cave alone, left you with chills. The filming done in different degrees of shadow helped fuel the dark ominous feeling
emanated from the movie. I would recommend this movie to anyone, fan of comics or not.
