Subject: Another Dark Knight review
Bart:
It was a grim two and a half hours, but for this long time BatFan, it just kept hammering its points home.
Tiny Lister threw the detonator overboard, proving
that "the right thing" is obvious to everyone
and that we should still be prepared to die to
prove it, even if we are the bad guys and know it.
This scene is the one that keeps coming back
to me.
Ledger's performance is legend.
It rivals Pacino's in the Godfather films
and Brando's in Waterfront.
He owned every second he was on the screen and
left the audience aching for more. And special thanks
to the writers who gave him great lines. "That
which doesn't kill you, makes you stranger."
The Joker was a very bitter man out to punish
a world he was convinced was as evil as he was.
Amen to the writers and director for pointing
out that putting all our hope in the character of one man,
Harvey Dent, is only as good as that one man.
We need every public servant living up to a society of laws.
E.L.
