DARK KNIGHT RISES REVIEW
The Dark Knight Rises is a continuation of the story of Batman (Christian Bale). It is a film filled with redemption. It has been 8 years since any one has seen or heard from Batman because he has taken the fall for Harvey Dent's death. Commissioner Gordon (Gary Oldman) is about to resign and wants to free Batman from the lies that have held him down and to what Bruce Wayne has become, but he decides against it. Gordon is captured by Bane (Tom Hardy) and a cat burglar Selina (Anne Hathaway) steals Bruce Wayne's fingerprints. Bruce becomes bankrupt and Gordon is saved by Officer John Blake (Joseph-Gordon Levitt). This cause of events leads Bruce to turn over his company to Miranda Tate (Marion Cotillard). Bane has plans to destroy Gotham as Ra's al Ghul's intentions were. After Bane declares he will follow out al Ghul's plans, he critically injures Bruce and leaves him in a prison underground. Bane then lures the police department underground and collapses the exits. This is when Bane takes control of Gotham and initiates a revolution. Bruce eventually breaks out of the prison and returns to Gotham as Batman to save the city.
There are many thematic ideas that are portrayed in this film. Redemption is by far one of the strongest. Each character in the film is on the road to redemption, may it be good or evil. From Miranda Tate to Bruce Wayne, each character is determined to redeem themselves or someone close to them. Justice is always a popular thematic idea when it comes to any superhero/villain movie. Justice must be served and the good will prevail. This is evident in this film. It is evident with Bruce Wayne himself, as Batman, Police Commissioner Gordon, and even down to John Blake. After all, Bruce Wayne is only an orphan because of the brutal murderers of his parents. Politics is also a thematic idea present in this film, the rise and fall of the Gotham City politicians and police officers shows this. This film is similar to Sin City with its thematic ideas of redemption, justice and the fight between good and evil. It is ultimately better than Sin City though.
Many of the scenes in The Dark Knight Rises use low- lighting to make the scenes more intense and scary. The most notable motif would the symbol of Batman. The light has been out for eight years that calls out this super-hero but it is still a prominent symbol throughout the film.
The Dark Knight Rises is an epic Batman film that is filled with characters trying to redeem themselves and what is rightfully theirs.
