The fight between good and evil

Rating: 10/10 (2 April 2020)

Portrayed as the fight between good and evil, The Dark Knight tackles more than that. It tells us how the world isn't just black and white, and how darkness can spread like a disease. A masterpiece by Christopher Nolan, delving into the throes of the human psyche, it builds on the classic notion of moral good in the society and its visible manifestations. A corrupt city can achieve moral salvation, and so can an honest official succumb to darkness when tragedy strikes.
Heath Ledger puts on a show for us, ably sharing the screen is Christian Bale who revels in the role of Batman. The billionaire playboy of Gotham City tries to bring peace to a broken city in this thriller of a movie.
