awesome film, pure modern cinema

Rating: 10/10 (28 August 2008)

The Dark Knight is the best film of this year, that is for sure. It is hard just to highlight one of the many good things of it. The cast is fully committed to their roles, specially Bale, as a more mature Batman/Wayne. Freeman, Caine and Oldman, as expected, are not just supporting roles, but they have their own history within the whole picture. Regarding Heath Ledger, his performance is overwhelming. It is quite a pity he passed away, because his talent in this film could have increased so much; not only in a possible sequel, but in future projects. His joker, in the half part of the film, is pure and charismatic chaos, and his line about an unstoppable force of nature is superb.finally, the technical aspect of the movie is simply spectacular: the score is worth watching the movie, and the use of IMAX cameras in certain scenes result in a highly crafted film-making. I can only say that Th Dark Knight is pure cinema, and from this moment on I shall refer to Cristopher Nolan as Sir Cristopher. Thank you for teaching us the magic and pleasure of real film-making.
