The Dark Knight

changed in The Dark Knight There are a few aspects in Batman Begins and The Dark Knight which Christopher Nolan has definitely changed. One of the smaller changes Christopher Nolan has made from Batman Begins to The Dark Knight would be the batman suit. The suit in Batman Begins looks a lot more like the suit used in the comic books whereas the suit used in The Dark Knight reflects a more real-world concept of the character batman. He does this by making the suit in The Dark Knight look more…

although my decision may be seen as slightly atypical. For example, many people do not take the time to analysis and see how The Dark Knight and The Patriot are a very similar movie. In these movies, the main characters find themselves in a battle against evil, in which they started out solitarily alone, but end up finding themselves fighting united alongside…

Joker in The Dark Knight and Jack Merridew in The Lord of the Flies desire the power to push entire society into corruption of madness and anarchy by their successful leading skills. They trap people using violence and trickery and diffuse their responsibilities to someone else. The Joker and Jack don’t have any humanizing elements; instead, they attempt to destroy humanized society. They, the shadows confront with protagonists and natural humanity to officialize their ideology. The Joker and…

Ideological Analysis of The Dark Knight Rises The 2012 film, The Dark Knight Rises is the third installment of the Batman trilogy directed by Christopher Nolan. The film is a portrayal of the constant battle between good and evil, and does so through the representation of our justice system. The lines between good and evil are hard to distinguish, however due to the police force in Gotham being as well known for its corruption, as it is for its actual crime fighting, and the Villains of the…

For this essay, I have decided to compare two “bad guys” that audiences always seem to love. One is your classic high school rebel in The Breakfast Club, while the other is Batman’s favorite villian in The Dark Knight. Judd Nelson and Heath Ledger share many similarities in their roles as John and the Joker, however I think the biggest difference between the two actors is the amount of intensity put into their characters. John is a troubled young man, who seems to be mad at the world. Judd…

The ferry scene in the movie, The Dark Knight, also presented another ethical problem: the Prisoner Dilemma (Mlawski 1). To sum it all up, two boats are in the water and each boat has until midnight to detonate the other ships ordinance or both ferries will be destroyed. There are civilians in one boat and prisoners in the other boat. Each boat has to make a choice – kill or be killed – confess or stay quiet. Not to mention that the clock is ticking. Of course, neither the civilian boat nor the…

I agree with Roger Ebert's review on the “The Dark Knight”. The only thing I don’t agree with is the four star rating. This is because the movie had phenomenal acting, beautiful visual and special effects and an incredible script that was written by the director himself Christopher Nolan. This is why I don’t agree with the 4 star rating. In my opinion it should be 5. Throughout the review Roger talks about Heath Ledger does a great Job playing the Joker and telling his side of things. Roger…

Cop, Bad Cop” from The Dark Knight there is a prominent fight for control between the Batman and the Joker. Throughout the scene the cinematography creates tension through lighting, framing, effects, camera movement and performance. The scene takes place in an interrogation room, to signify the authority figure and the criminal fighting for power. In the beginning the Jokers dimly lit from the lamp on the desk. The light is coming from a low angle to make his figure dark. This represents the…

Secondly, this is portrayed through, “The Dark Knight”, directed by Christopher Nolan and released in 2008. Both of these examples play on the audience’s own desires and challenges their ideas on what is wrong and what is right and where the fine line between them lies. A popular character in contemporary…
