Film Review 2: The Dark Knight (2008)

The Dark Knight

Considers as one of the best films of 2008, The Dark Knight depicts the story of Batman, a ’somewhat’ hero of Gotham City, struggling to stop the Joker, a new villain of the city, from killing innocent citizens instead of Batman’s own. Throughout the film, Christopher Nolan tries to convey the means of ‘Chaos’ through lines of the Joker played by Heath Ledger and of ‘Fairness’ through the story of Gotham’s District Attorny Harvy Dent played by Aaron Eckhart. Batman himself stands in the middle of his ‘Justice’ and ‘Illegality’ that follows his heroic practices and questions the black-and-white theory that most other Hero movies present, as the Joker asks: ‘So, you think Batman’s made Gotham a better place?’.
