The Dark Knight

The Dark Knight

            I’m going to start off by saying that the choice of this film for this part of the book, was absolutely perfect! It had everything that the chapters were explaining. I have to say that this is one of my all time favorite movies, and I am glad you picked it for that reason too. But while reading, I took the main topics from each chapter. These are Color, Flashback, Sound Effects, and Acting. I will explain later in this blog how the movie incorporates into each of these major categories.

            Color will be the first one. The best thing I saw for color was on the actors the joker, and the batman. The joker has many colors on him that can tell you he is a bad guy even before he does an disastrous things. These things are his green hair, bright orange shirt, purple coat, bright red lips, and the most important is his make-up. His make-up is half on, half off, and it depicts that he is a dark person up to no good. Next is the batman. He is a little harder to explain, but he has a dark blue suit. But his suit has a little yellow tint to it, so it gives him the look of somewhat of a Greek theology god is the way I think of it.

            Sound effects were a huge part of the movie. The two best parts for this was all the explosions, and the jokers laugh. Hearing the jokers laugh just gives me the chills. The best part of the movie was the acting though. Heath Ledger, r.i.p., made this film as good as it is. He had to get into such a twisted character that it would be way to hard for myself, and all of the other actors out there.

            For flashbacks, I thought hard about it and I didn’t really see any. But why I thought hard was there is one that is in there, but we are not taken back to the past. When the joker says, “Wanna know how I got these scars,” takes the audience back by themselves. For me at least, it made me go back and think of his childhood. We as the audience get to depict a picture of his past. I thought that was pretty cool.
