The Dark Knight - more than a movie !!!!

Harvey Dent "You either die as a hero or live longer and become a villain." This is the underlying concept of the movie. It standsout of other super hero movies in many ways. It speaks about a man, who destined to be a savior but not always succesful inthe job. The attitude of batman makes him special when compared with other super heroes. He is so strong that he believes that hero is someone who have face. So, he maintains low-profile and promote Harvey. Harvey is an intelligent district attorney who with his brilliance make everyone believes that he can lead the city. Though he is equally inspiring like batman, however he is also suceptible to emotions and becomes a pawn in the hand of Joker. Joker is the villain of the movie,more than a villain, he's chaos. he questions, disturbs and dispruts the basic concepts of beliefs. The belief in the system, the humanity everything, he disturbs. He is one villain who can destroy just by playing with your right and wrong.
The Story is straight. The villain wants to take over the Gotham city, and batman tries to stop him. The story is as simple as any other superhero movies. But Christopher nolan(director:memento,The prestige and Batman begins) narrated it in such a way that it leaves a great inspiration and total change of perception on super heroes. It is surprising to see that batman can also get hurt. It is surprising to see batman can also get emoted. lastly, its surprising to see that batman can also be defeated. The Batman is no different from us, it is our attitube that invokes the super hero in us. The climax is one such example for the mentioned point.
Two ships loaded with gotham city people and detanators in hand to blew the other ship. Joker plays with them by giving them a time limit to decide who's going to press and live. This questions the very concept of faith towards humanity.Ships with 300-400 people each and everyone has their opinion and all of them want to live. Such a chaotic situation and the options are only two. Press the detonator, blew the other ship and you are safe. Throw the detonator away and hope that the other ship people will also do the same. But for oprion B, is there any concrete belief that whether it happens that way? Do you think people in the other ship will throw it away and "hope" that will be followed in the other ship also???? this is the best moment of the movie, watch it urself to believe that why this movie stands out of all other movies. That scene gives great belief on humanity.
Well, as i have said too much about the theme of the movie, let me speak something about the movie as whole. Among all the cast, the clear scorer is Joker, played by Heath Ledger. This is one piece of cake for him to make it big in hollywood and he uses it to the full. The way he plays with the mind is really brutal. The dialogue he delivers are outstanding. Apart from that the body language he exhibit for the character is a special mention here. He's not a strong villain, he is not well built and stuff, but he got brain which is so corrupt and words of venom which turns even a good man like Harvey into a devil. Then comes the character of Harvey Dent, district attorney, played by Aaron Eckhart, who stands up for his people belief and again he turns up the wrong side by jokers influence. This character is the back bone of the story, The batman believes that he is the answer for the city's future. He puts him in front and tries to make him the president of the state. But, some unfortunate events turns him to two-face and against the batman beliefs. An excellent character which is on the same line of darth-wader of star wars. Lastly, The Batman himself,played by Christian Bale, who is more human and believes that hero is someone with face and can give hope to people that "if he can do then i also can do".He fails often, his ethics is not to kill the bad but not to save them. The very concept of his killing is questioned by joker and we can see batman is also-at-times-human by the way he breaks down to pieces.
Again the whole credit goes to Director Chirstopher Nolan for his brillinat screenplay(along with Jonathan Nolan).The soundtrack is splendid that u feel so close to the movie(twerrified),also, this is one of the movie in which the music is there till the end. Kudos to James howard and Hans Zimmer. Photography by Wally Pfister, sets the tone and mood of the film. The pictures are so clear , despite the fact that movie is set in dark background. Special effects???? is there any special effects, i dont think so, the scenes were so natural and believable that it leaves out the slightest trace of the special effects. To mention one special effects in make-up, the two face has been splendidly portrayed. The editing, visuals everything is a treat in this movie.
To summarise, Batman makes us believe in democracy, he makes us believe in humanity, he makes us believe in rules and he makes us believe in ourselves. Watch this movie to get a great experience of your beliefs. As said in the movie: "Batman, is not a super-hero, he is just a savior"
PS: The one and only awkward thing in the movie is heroine catsting. After Kirsten dunst in spider man, Maggie Gyllenhaal, is the worst looking actor on screen. I prefer catie holmes or anna hathaway !!!!!
PPS: Really shocked to know that Heath Ledger is dead !!!!!! src: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heath_Ledger. more shocking thing is that he's dead 6 months back !!!!
