After Dark

The Dark Knight is my favorite movie in this series, but is also my personal favorite Batman story, surpassing all the other Batman films.

The story of The Dark Knight is entirely…

Without Batman, Bane has the overall opportunity to destroy the city, and free people from prison. Out of all the villains in the movie “Dark Knight Rises” Bane is the best one. I say that because he…

The following is an analysis of three scenes from recent films that raise philosophical questions in today’s society. These questions can be answered in numerous ways, none of which are incorrect, since everyone has a different standpoint on things. Think about the answer to these questions yourself, and how you interpret them, and how they could be interpreted differently than your answer. The first scene I am going to analyze is from the film The Revenant (2015) starring Leonardo Dicaprio.…

When an unstoppable force meets an immovable object, a paradox arises. This paradox is portrayed in the action packed film, The Dark Knight, directed by Christopher Nolan, a menace known as the Joker wreaks havoc on the people of Gotham, while a “caped crusader” who goes by the name of the Batman battles with one of his greatest psychological tests in the never-ending fight for justice.

When an individual mentions the term “gothic,” the first word that come to the minds of most people is evil, mysterious, or dark. However, the term “gothic” was created in 1610 from late Latin Gothicus to mean “Germanic.” The goths were the ancient Germanic people; hence, its use in the 1640s as a term for the art style that emerged in northern Europe in the Middle Ages has nothing to do with the historical Goths and it was originally applied in scorn by Italian architects of the Renaissance.…

to write the stories that he did. In his time, he discovered he was living in an age where dark literature were “best sellers”.

John Allan, who was his adopted father, failed to pay for Poe to go to University of Virginia, because of his gambling debts. Although not all of his stories were dark and sad, some were filled with humor and hoaxes that lightened the mood. For comic effect,…
