The Dark Knight (Christopher Nolan, 2008)


Dark atmosphere and exquisite filmmaking is not enough to fill the gap that The Dark Knight leaves behind. So much heroism, so many big, pompous words, so much melodrama, why all this, we all know that this recipe leads to no man's land. Regardless the fact that Christopher Nolan put all his talent in the process of this film its childish screenplay with the tearful and filled with melodrama dialogues can't maintain a certain, respectable position for that movie. We all know that The Dark Knight became an incredible hit with lists putting inside the 500 best films of all time, but the sad truth tells us that is a movie filled with plastic morality and full of hot air big words. It's disturbing Hollywood agenda along with the realistic and dramatic power that Nolan has inflicted in the movie make it one of those films that the atmospheric tone and the suspenseful agenda are lost inside a waterfall of "honorable" bullshit and crappy made, looking like the huge truth of life, lines. Batman is a comic and it needs that taste and flavor of that comic thing, it's not a thing that can be humanized completely, Nolan tried to bring the realism in the Batman mythology and instead of that he made a cheesy drama, that causes the viewer to really rebel against the pomposity that runs through the film. It's inevitable that after some point you are tired of listening to supposedly idealistic conversations that have the morality of a five-year-old child and the brains of a nun that is forgotten by time and space. Drama needs real depth and questions and answers that are intriguing, stimulating and thought-provoking, not the childish mumbling that this movie has to offer.
