SICK ART FROM A SICK CULTURE "We're so far gone that real human emotion is beyond us."

Rating: 1/10 (2 August 2008)

Jim Kunsler is not a regular film critic. He is an accomplished published author and highly educated in arts and literature. I subscribe to his blog, usually for his political writing.
There are hardly any film critics around. The newspaper, magazine, internetz,IMDb & TV folks are just reviewers as opposed to critics. They mumble about good or bad, thumbs up, how much money is involved and other nonsense in what is an ignorant parody of Consumer Reports, as if the art of film were a microwave oven or brand of toilet tissue.
In writing about the incredibly popular movie, THE DARK KNIGHT, Kunsler has actually written a piece of film criticism. He puts the film in the context of our present national (and international) culture, economy and values. You can see what Jim Kunsler has done at his website: http://www.kunstler.com/
