So, I Just Watched The Dark Knight.

your asking for a comic recreation to be realistic and logical? it can be done of course but only to a certain extent, and the movie certainly delivered on both. if you didnt think ledgers rant of provoking chaos and having others realize the futility of plans was logical, you arent sir. it was as realistic as a man in a bat suit fighting a clown colored adversary ever could be.

this is a repost from the entertainment thread but...

its unfortunate that heath passed away, but he left a legacy with a hell of a final preformance. has anyone else heard this? sorry if its already been stated, i didnt browse the entire thread.



apparently, both heath ledger and jack nicholson were having serious psychological problems while filming their respective movies. nicholson was losing sleep over the role and the mentality it reformed, so he was perscribed sleeping medicine. but after several nights of taking them there was dire reprecutions, ive heard that he woke up one night on the edge of a cliff in his car. anyways, while filming the dark knight ledger was having similar problems so he decided to contact nicholson for advice. he told him specifically, 'no matter how bad the insomnia gets, dont take the pills they presribe for it.' heath ended up sucumbing to the lack of sleep and took the pills, alot of people believe it was the probable cause of the overdose, and therefore death, of heath ledger. thats essentially why when asked about ledgers death, nicholson replied 'i warned him.'

Great movie

About the Joker his action are not about being an agent of chaos, is just a way to rationalize himself, the only thing he really wants is seeing the world burn, a good example is the scene of the boats is because if they don't do it, he will pull the triger and kill them both ships anyways spite of the outcome


about being philosophical, one of the greatest scenes in the movie where in the same boat scene, when one of the inmate rise up and say "i will do what you should do 10 minutes ago" and trow the detonator off board

One of the firts president Abraham Lincon describe better our current situation:
"The dogmas of the quiet past are inadequate to the stormy present. The occasion is piled high with difficulty, and we must rise with the occasion. ..we cannot escape history, will be remembered in spite of ourselves. The fiery trial through which we pass, will light us down, in honor or dishonor, to the latest generation. We shall nobly save, or meanly lose, the last best, hope of earth. " Lincoln's Second Annual Message to Congress

I've watched it 3 times already.
