The Dark Knight.
July 18th, 2008
i just got back from a midnight screening of the dark knight. WOW!
after one viewing i can say emphatically that:
-it is just as good as i remember thinking batman begins was after i saw it for the first time.
-christian bale has really settled into the role. he is bringing out the struggle and conflict that i have always identified with in batman, yet he is doing it naturally, organically even. he’s not in a hurry to get anywhere and it’s definitely working for him.
-chris nolan might now be my favorite movie director.
-heath ledger is very, very good. he is a much better actor in this movie than he was in 10 things i hate about you.
-the soundtrack was really stinking good. a lot of the techniques the composer used, i could have brought into my master’s level composition lessons and gotten praise. top-class stuff in several instances.
-i need to sleep and then see it again (at an imax theater) and then really write what i think.
what a fun night! too bad i won’t be able to watch it with my 2-year old for probably another 10-12 years, at least.
