Evaluation of The Dark Knight
The Dark Knight is one of the greatest movies of our time. Laremy Legel called Christopher Nolan’s, The Dark Knight, a masterwork (Dillon Michell, "The Dark Knight"). The Dark Knight won plenty of awards: Best Achievement in Sound Editing, Cinematography, Film Editing in Oscar; Movie of the Year in AFI Award; Top Box Office Film in ASCAP Film and Television Music Awards, and so on. The Dark Knight is a film that was so popular and all around loved that it merits evaluation.
The center topic of Batman film is always about justice v.s. evil. The film creates several successful and distinct characters to reach this point. The symbology of Batman comes into the first place. The final monologue that Commissioner Gordon talks to his son and himself: “Because he's the hero Gotham deserves, but not the one it needs right now. So we'll hunt him. Because he can take it. Because he's not our hero. He's a silent guardian. A watchful protector. A Dark Knight” (The Dark Knight).The Dark Knight brings the themes from Batman Begins to their logical conclusion: Namely, that as a man, Bruce Wayne’s powers over evil crime are rather limited. As a man, he can be killed, he can be defeated. As a symbol, he can become more. At the end of The Dark Knight, he becomes, to society, a contaminated force in pretty much the same way the Joker was. He becomes hunted, making people believe that he cannot be controlled, that he has lost all respect for societal norms and the rules of law. As Gordon realizes he needs to blame the murders on Batman, he acknowledges not only the need for society to push their fears onto something, but their hopes as well.
In the meantime, it is also made clear that, in fact, Batman never succumbs to his own dark, inner urges. In the movie, Bruce Wayne says the line, “I’ve seen what I have to become to fight men like him” (The Dark Knight), and he rejects the path he has to take to stop Joker, a man who has no rules whatsoever.
