An excellent, engaging and transcendent drama of

An excellent film that shows how even films derived from comic books can transfigure well-known, well-known and even banal stories, if adapted for the screen by filmmakers of the caliber of Christopher Nolan. Who, obviously, bring "on board" the best of the artists of the seventh art. From the actors, to the director and director of photography, from the screenwriters (Nolan himself together with his brother Jonathan) to the set designers, from the executive producers to the composers (the excellent Zimmer in this case), everything contributes to making Nolan's Batman a masterpiece that it goes beyond its origins to become a gripping and engaging drama worthy of a Greek tragedy, where the boundary between good and evil is not so clearly delineated (as it is in most superhero films). -heroes). This film is enriched by Heath Ledger's great acting performance (which earned him an Oscar, unfortunately post-mortem), powerful and visionary, which makes it the best Joker so far (without taking anything away from Joaquin Phoenix's performance ). A Joker as brilliant as he is evil (whose evil is however justified by terrifying childhood traumas) who throughout the film places the "forces of good" with Batman first and foremost, faced with difficult dilemmas of a purely ethical nature which lead to the final tragedy.

Alessandra

Dark? For sure. Complex and ambitious? Absolutely. Major props to Christopher Nolan and Jonathan Nolan—they deserve all the applause! I'm not usually into loud, gory flicks, but "The Dark Knight" hits different. It's violent but has real depth. Heath Ledger's Joker is so human, and Christian Bale's mix of petulance and complexity makes his character super fascinating. What's wild is that Batman isn't even the main focus; Ledger totally steals the show and sets the epic vibe in Gotham. Read all
