The Dark Knight Rises...and Shines

Rating: 10/10 (24 July 2012)

I am sitting here in the theater and the end credits are rolling on the big screen. I am in awe of what I went through in the last 2 & a half hours. Sheer genius and hard work. I came in here after 3 years of endless wait, after reading through scores of tributes from Dark Knight Fans, to watch an Epic end...in a Grand Style. And what I witnessed is beyond what I even imagined.
TDKR is full of symbolism. Almost everywhere you can see the symbols hidden in the scenes, situations.Mr. Nola's mastery is evident in the fact that even if people may not decipher those symbols, they will still be able to acknowledge them and appreciate.
Throughout the movie, not a single soul moved in the theater and that says something about the Movie as I don't remember local crowd being so behaving ever before. What Mr Nolan achieved is what even the Bollywood (so acclaimed Drama Masters) have forgotten. Make people root for characters, make them cry.
You watch Mr. Nolan's works and you come to understand what the word Vision actually means. It means something so powerful that it can influence even the people surrounding the visionary, move them to the core. Half-way through the TDKR, I started feeling that in trying to overpower his own creation (TDK), Mr Nolan had perhaps lost control on this one. But, I was wrong. I forgot that he is one (most probably, the only one) director who never gives in to humanesque temptations of bettering Masterpieces. And that is precisely why...he is able to outdo himself, and again.
I won't be human, if I don't have any complaints against Mr. Nolan. And my complaint is, "Why do you make us wait for 3 years? Why don't you do it more often, say every 3 months?". I know even 3 months is a long period, but I can endure that much to be engrossed by a masterpiece.
Till then, I am going to watch TDK Trilogy again...and again.
