Why So Serious?

After watching "The Dark Knight" eariler on, I’m here right now typing out this and so wanting to watch it again for the 2nd time. The Dark Knight truly won many critics review and set a new first week box office settling down to $USD 158 million.

Firstly, I’m as totally and completely mesmerized and captivated by Heath Ledger as the Joker in EVERY SCENE of the movie. The actor clearly completely loses himself in the role of The Joker. I’m struck by both fear and awe from the way he talks, moves and responds. (A few know I’m in fear of clowns but The Joker is something more, it’s something else…) He truly brings out the essences of a man without a care in the world for others as The Joker. It’s sad to know that the actor Heath Ledger is gone after watching the movie.

He brings The Joker out to the big screen as a diabolical and menacing character yet in the same time mesmerizing and charismatic. Without The Joker, the movie wouldn’t be complete as The Joker truly “complete” The Batman. Christopher Nolan the director truly did a great job in the relationship between The Joker and The Batman. Everytime Batman thinks that he has finally stopped The Joker; he throws out another ace out his sleeves.

Enough of The Joker, I truly think he deserve an award for the movie.

Next is Aaron Eckhart as Harvey Dent and Christian Bale as The Batman, both of them did a superb job comprising every other character. In a sudden twist, Harvey Dent became “You all know what” if you’re into Batman. Thumbs up to Aaron Eckhart for personifying “You all know what” to a much darker theme compared to its predecessors by Tommy Lee Jones. And of course being the emotional arc that the unsympathetic Joker couldn’t offer in the whole movie. Christian Bale done it again just likes Batman Begins but this time with a better looking suit.

The last scene of the movie managed to bring out my empathy while holding back the shed of tears that is going to run down and overall the movie is a much darker theme and BETTER in all aspect. It is a MUST-WATCH movie for this year.

*A person that is willing to risk everything out and be branded a traitor or a criminal willingly in attempt to protect others is entitled “Hero”.*

Just like Batman in the movie titled: The Dark Knight. *Criminal*

And The Boss in Metal Gear Soild 3 titled: The Patriot. *Traitor*

Other than the movie someone acted strangely, too strange that it incurred me to laugh like The Joker but not that menacing of course.

Will so be watching it again, anyone?
