Best Joker ever!

Rating: 10/10 (3 June 2019)

When I first saw the video for the Dark Knight, I decided that I would no longer watch other trailers, read spoilers, interviews and much more that appear before the release of each film and spoil the impression, revealing all secrets in advance. And as it turned out, I did not lose.
The general plot of the film, I confess, was very surprised. If we consider that all the videos and information about the film were based only on the struggle of Batman and Joker, it was extremely difficult to predict the appearance of someone else, but the creators were able to show us not only this pair in all its glory, but also another character whose name - Two-faced. As it turned out, their roads are very closely intertwined, and one without the other and could not take a step, but this is personal opinion. However, this is not all, and everyone who decides to watch the film, is still waiting for a lot of surprises both on the characters appearing in the frame and their non-standard actions, and on the number of moments after which the captions would seem to go. Also, despite the almost constant action, there are feelings in the film that are impossible not to notice. The complex interweaving of beautiful fights, shootouts, car chases, deep thoughts and empathy - this is the basis of the plot.
Christian Bale was able to repeat his previous success and played Batman in the existence of which one wants to believe. Despite the fact that the main features of the hero were calm and equanimity, Bale was able to show Bruce Wayne as a man with a soul and heart, who is just as peculiar to love, experience and fear, like any other person in Gotem.
Heath Ledger did something that no one else could have done in his place - he created a really crazy, formidable, absolutely magnificent Joker who looks on the screen much more interesting and believable than the Joker Nicholson. The character of this character turned out to be surprisingly original, and the feelings that the Joker causes when watching a movie are comparable only to the feelings when you see Batman on the screen. For a long time I have not seen such a high-quality game, such a sensual and soulful belief in my own role. I am afraid that with the death of Ledger, Hollywood lost one of the few hopes for the revival of that sensuality in a game that was 20 years ago.
Aaron Eckhart played two significant roles in this film, which eventually became one. His "knight on a white horse" seemed to me painfully good for the city, from which it smells like crime, but his two-faced turned out to be a very convincing and quite high-quality representative of the criminal elite, in whose presence there is a need.
Gary Oldman played the role of Gordon convincingly enough, if not more, but he still didn't have enough. However, in spite of this, Oldman and the scriptwriters were able to show some interesting and unexpected aspects of this character, which pleased and upset me at the same time.
It is unfortunate that Michael Kane, Maggie Gyllenhaal and Morgan Freeman got such small roles in the film. However, the number of time spent by their characters on the screen does not nearly decrease their significance in the plot, because each of them played a role in the complex intertwined tangle of events, each of which is part of all the others.
I was pleased with the appearance in the film of such actors as Cillian Murphy, Eric Roberts and especially William Fichtner. Despite their seemingly very modest roles, they added a kind of pleasant sensation to the film, because when you see actors on the screen familiar to you, it becomes somehow more pleasant, and you don't think "who it is," but just watch and get pleasure.
Special effects and graphics and other film-brightening details at a decent level. Living in the age of high technology, I have often seen films in which it was very difficult to distinguish graphics from real shots, but in Dark Knight I could not do it in principle. Even now, I can not answer the question "Was she there at all?" With one hundred percent certainty. Although, of course, there was no graphics, but painfully and imperceptibly, it fits into the natural environment surrounding it. Separately, I would like to mention the excellent work that stuntmen have done throughout the filming of the film. Looking at the various tricks shown in the film, I just want to say "for an encore, please".
But what is it that I managed to tell about everything and everyone except the main person, thanks to whose efforts we see the "Dark Knight" the way we see it. This man's name is Christopher Nolan. Who is he? A simple American director who went all the way out when making the film and created an absolutely stunning film from the usual adaptation of the comic book, which, oh, how soon they will not be forgotten. The greatest merit of Nolman is that he managed in an unimaginable way to convey all the feelings of the inhabitants of the city, the panic and horror that engulfed them during the events in Gotema, and most importantly, he showed how calm the people and their actions depend on two people - Batman and Joker.
