A Dark Masterpiece

Rating: 10/10 (23 February 2009)

Once upon a time a smiling man made a joke. Not a funny one, a true one. A joke about the rotten and corrupt world we are living in, and that everyone has a price, everyone.
The Dark Knight may seem like an average movie with some 'Freaks' wearing costumes and suits, but it's not. It's one of those rare pieces of Art that made people forget it's 'just' a movie.
Christopher Nolan (with his brothers help) managed to create a world that inspires and shocks us at the same time. He shows the world at a point where you can never return from if you cross it and that the world itself is very aware about that. You see a world with two men, both trying to help the world. One is trying to help them cross the line and the other one tries to keep them away from it. It may seem simple, but it's not.
The Dark Knight is a Masterpiece, why?

Incredible Achievement in Writing (Jonathan Nolan, Christopher Nolan, David Goyer. Do I need to say more?)

Outstanding Achievement in Directing (the movie is extraordinary well balanced, and that's absolutely not easy, especially not in a movie of this scale. Thanks you so much Mister Nolan)

-Outstanding Achievement in Cinematography (Wally Pfister did an incredible job, thank you sir)

Unique Achievement in Acting (Heath Ledger portrayed one of the best villains in movie history, so many details, his devotion, everything. Thank you for this unforgettable achievement. Aaron Eckhart as Two-Face is a broken idealist that thought he could be a decent man in an indecent time, portrayed like never anyone did something comparable before. Christian Bale, the man, the myth, the legend, Batman. A Man that devoted his life to something most people don't even believe in. Bale shows us an incredible balance between the beast and the man behind the mask. Gary Oldman, Morgan Freeman, Michael Caine, Maggie Gyllenhaal, they all did a great job and helped to create an authentic world)

Extraordinary Achievements in Sound Editing, Sound Mixing, Special Effects, Editing, Art Direction, Make-Up, Producing, and Score (thanks to all you people)

The Dark Knight is a Masterpiece in every single category and it all fits together perfectly and creates an atmosphere you won't forget that fast. Not just one of the best Movies of the year, but one of the best in a very long time.
A Movie you must not miss. An experience you will never forget.
