On the long side, but still good!

Rating: 7/10 (29 July 2008)

"The dark knight" length is on the long side, but still a good movie. I see a lot of post 9-11 in "The dark Knight". The Joker is like a terrorist who destroys without motive. Harvey Dent is the out of control administration which has to appear strong and good to keep society's hopes and aspirations balanced. "The dark night" is the CIA, secret and clandestine, who's role is one of protector. The cell phone tap is similar to the Patriot act argument. When is too far too far? Batman never kills, unlike the Joker, in order to hunt a monster one does not become one. Self-sacrificing Batman chooses the good of the people over his girlfriend. The Joker loves to test people resolve. Batman is a unsung hero who's successes have to be unknown. Like Iran/Contra Batman takes the rap unfairly. Secrets are burnt for the good of everyone. "The Dark knight" rides again lurking into the shadow combating the chaos evil brings. 7 out of 10 covert operations for "The dark Knight".
