THE DARK KNIGHT




the feeling after having watched the movie was mixed.
the only colourful factor of the otherwise grey-white-black-green-blue dominant movie is the purple coated, blonde haired, red liped JOKER, who is the flavour of the show.

slowly the movie grows in you, making you realise all the philosiphical metaphors generously bestowed in the film.
The human characters are put to test at extreme conditions by the Joker.

How when everything mundane is stripped from the citizens of Gotham and the prisoners, they invariantly think right(people on the ferry). And also when true love is stripped off a responsible and honest citizen, how he loses it (the case of harvey dent).how differently characters react is well etched to suit reality. Lot a thoughts to be pondered and lessons to be learnt.

Batman has little to do but just being a pawn in the Joker's game, No wonder you end up thinking the joker is the protagonist.
Rightly, 'Ladies and Gentlemen, Joker's tonight's entertainment'

A dark and deep movie indeed. Nolan's best!
Waiting to watch it again.
