A Masterpiece

Rating: 10/10 (23 January 2009)

Out of the cultural wasteland that is America, comes a film called The Dark Knight. Dark, brooding, epic, it is the answer to the movie critic's eyes. It is one of the best films of the whole year.
Christopher Nolan has created a world, gritty and dark. No film has created a world torn by crime as well As Christopher Nolan. The Dark Knight stands with Double Indemnity and M both classics that defined a generation, a time when movie goers went to the theater and was captured by a world where hospitals are destroyed, people are killed. A lawless world. A world where humanity is threatened, a pulp fictionesque time period. Anarchy roams the city. Mobsters walk down the street where no one dares arrest him.
I was just shocked and engulfed in this tsunami of action. Batman swinging down on his grappling hook, the Joker cackling while rotting in a federal prison. I can see it all.
I am hooked on the Dark Knight.
