Introduction
If you are active in any social media, even once a week, then there is a fat chance that you have heard of the Dark Knight and the Joker. That’s how crazy the fans are for this film. Even today, its fame has not got a slight dip. Let’s check the nuts and bolts of it.
Trivia
When the chase scene was filmed on lake street, the local citizens called the police to complain about the chase involving several police vehicles and an unknown black car with an unknown model and make (The Bat Mobil)
Iconic dialogues from this movie
This is a very tough job for me. Picking up just one or two is extremely tough.
Remember when the joker said, “Don’t talk like you’re one of them! You’re not, even if you’d like to be. To them, you’re just a freak, like me. They need you right now, but when they don’t, they’ll cast you out—like a leper. See, their morals, their “code”…it’s a bad joke, dropped at the first sign of trouble. They’re only as good as the world allows them to be. I’ll show you, when the chips are down, these—ah—”civilized people”? They’ll eat each other. See, I’m not a monster. I’m just ahead of the curve”?
Critic Reviews
“Ledger’s performance is monumental, but The Dark Knight lives up to it. Nolan cements his position as Hollywood’s premier purveyor of blockbuster smarts – and the Batbike is kinda cool, too.” Empire
Plot Summary
When everything was under control in Gotham City, a young bloke with a unique and different approach from the rest of the world, calling himself “The Joker”, put everything in chaos. Now, Batman has to stop him with the help of his allies.
From a Novel to a film
There were jokers before this release. They were also good joker’s but the joker we all admire and the best joker ever seen in the history of the DC universe is the joker of The dark knight. It’s not because we don’t have Heath Ledger with us (rest in peace his beautiful soul). But because of his performance and dedication and justice in this role. Was beyond the reach of the top brass is of Hollywood. Even they cannot deliver such performance for the role of the Joker. That brings me to share my disappointment after watching the suicide squad joker. what the hell was that? Anyways. You heard the story of Heath Ledger looking himself in a hotel room and driving himself absolutely nuts.
So crazy that the hotel staff was afraid of knocking on the door. You heard of it, right? Now tell me how often do you hear this kind of stuff? I read and watch tons of film articles and films, and I have only come across three of such storage. One being Sushant Singh Rajput locking for a role in the film Paani (never got produced sadly). Another is Ranveer Singh going nuts for Alauddin Khilji in the movie Padmavat (the best villain role ever played by a non-villain actor) and the third one is of Heath Ledger’s.
Although, I am a bit angry with the joker. Why? Because of him, we are suffering from $5 imitation jokers in the Instagram reels and tick-tok. I mean what is that shit? What is that actual shit???
The Joker
Let me tell you a little back story. My cousin bought this film for a family gathering. Everyone was so excited to watch it. But, when she told me that it is a classic black and white film, I immediately backed off. Because the black and white films are famous for being, to say the least, boring. I must say, I was pleasantly surprised. Though, there was not very much happening in the movie. But, I stayed till the climax.
Why? Because of the beautiful acting of the child actors. The adult actors were also good, but the child actors’ performances kept me sitting until the end of the movie. Their acting had the innocence and fun of childhood in it.
Christopher Nolan
He is the reason why the dark knight is one of the best superhero movies in the world Behemoth offer Marvel comic universes Avengers series comic captain America trilogy Thor trilogy and iron man Trilogy. Open time, I see people mocking DC films for being not good and dull (mostly, MC fans). Every time I hear such bullshit I want to print a bunch of posters of this film so that I have something to throw at their faces.
Christopher Nolan has raised the bar. Because of him, this movie is considered a gold standard of superhero movies to look like an example for many fans. We cannot complain much about this movie. In fact, we cannot complain anything about it at all because this movie does not have anything to complain about. Any film which passes through the radar sensor of Chris Nolan is compliant-free and, to say the very least, awesome.
I’ve only one thing to say here. I’ve talked everything about the movie. The only thing left is to give respect to the late Heath Ledger. It is so sad such a great dedicated actor left us. The joker will be remembered for ages. Hopefully, for centuries.
