      The Dark Knight--Almighty Villain Or Almighty Hero

      Christian Bale is still handsome, with style and heritage as always. But this film is trying to hold on to the old Heath Ledger, trying to squeeze this handsome guy into the acting hall. But this Joker's supernatural power is also too great. He can place bombs wherever he wants, cut whoever he wants, and make anyone crazy if he wants to. It is said that he is a leader who has the ability to play with the dark psychology of...

      [EEO Film Review] There are no good people, no bad people

      EEO film critic Jiao Jian has a saying that The Dark Knight can be used as an icon - before The Dark Knight, and after The Dark Knight. And it's not just for the "Batman" franchise that's been going on for more than a decade. The entire comic-style hero movie can be used to divide the era.
      Because of the emergence of "The Dark Knight", the characters in comic hero movies are no longer simple.

      Americans have allowed "lies to bring lasting peace and hope"?

      Some recent Hollywood movies require two references.
          For example, "Batman: The Dark Knight" and "Watchmen (Guardian)"; "K-Star Stranger" and "The Man From Earth"; "Eagle Eye Pursuit" and "Deadly Phone"...

          For Batman, American knights like Spider-Man have never caught a cold. But Yu Liang, who is also not very cold, even said that he was shocked by "Batman Dark Knight". Know the reason for his shock: it is nothing more than to torture human beings with the darkest nature...

      both good and evil

      First of all, this kind of story is unprecedented in China, at least so far.
      There is no doubt that all the brilliance of human nature is due to both good and evil. Although our motherland has told me from a young age that history tells us politics tells us things like Lei Feng, but the times show us another way. All I see too many people complaining: why reality is not what we think it is. You should know that the reality is right, it is you who is wrong.
      But at this time, as a...

      Die as a hero, or live as a devil

      The Mystery of the Shadow and the Dark Knight are more realistic in reflecting social issues, and have more in-depth thinking on morality and law. Mystery of Xia Ying emphasizes overcoming fear and becoming fear itself. The Dark Knight emphasizes trust and the distinction between good and evil.
          However, the dark knight uses the phrase You either die a hero, or you live long enough to see yourself become a villain to illustrate the sadness of this world.
          Harvey Dent died early....

      This time, I rewatched it from the beginning to the end. I used to be attracted by the Joker, but later I was moved by Batman. Now I have a feeling that after Nolan edited it, it should have been four hours long. It's cut like this, but there is no urine point, praise. Every time I watch it, I get a new...

    Behind the scenes gags

    Hugh Jackman, Ryan Philip, Levi Schreiber and Josh Lucas have all publicly expressed interest in the role of prosecutor Harvey Dent.
    In order to make everyone feel bored, the costume department specially produced a set of "Batman" clothes with nipples. They also told the starring actor Christian Bale that this is the real costume. Since Bell had seen the design drawings long before the filming started, he immediately understood that...

    Joker dies

    The unexpected death of Heath Ledger casts a veil of sadness in "Batman Episode 2: The Dark Knight" out of thin air, and this film has become his last complete work in his lifetime.
    When Christopher Nolan talked about the role of "Joker", he first stated that the "Joker" played by Ledger will always be the highlight of the film and the focus of discussion. Nolan said: "Ledger gave this character an unprecedented experience. The dark...

    Filmmaker Evaluation

    "Hollywood Film Manual" Emanuel Levy: In terms of themes, the difference between Nolan's two "Batman" movies is simply too big. In "The Mystery of Xia Ying", he opened a new chapter for the series, brought this legendary character back to his origins, and reimagined why and how the billionaire industrial giant Bruce Wayne became mysterious. Punisher-the famous "Batman". On the contrary, in the far more interesting "Dark Knight", Nolan...

    Media Evaluation

    "News Daily": "This is a film adapted from a comic, but it is also a dark and highly complex drama." 
    "New York Times": In terms of coldness, "The Dark Knight" is closer to David Fincher's "Zodiac" than Tim Burton's jokes and Gothic "Batman." "In other words, he is very close to Bob Kane’s original cartoon and Frank Miller’s 1986 reinterpretation. The movie is heavy, sometimes with Wagner's style, but Mr. Ledger's wonderful performance...

    Movie quotes

    • [Lau announces that he's removed all the mob's cash from their banks before the police raid, and stashed them in a secure location]

      Lau: [during a video conference with the gangsters, interrupting their private sit down meeting] For obvious reasons, I couldn't wait for your permission. Rest assured, your money is safe.

      [From outside comes the sound of loud, fake laughter. The mob bosses turn and see the Joker enter]

      The Joker: And I thought my jokes were bad.

    • The Joker: [during the fundraiser party held for Harvey Dent] You know, I'll settle for his loved ones.

      Gentleman at Party: We're not intimidated by thugs!

      The Joker: [as he smacks his lips] You know, you remind me of my father.

      [the Joker pulls out his switchblade and brings it to the Gentleman's mouth]

      The Joker: I hated my father!

      Rachel Dawes: [off-screen] Okay, stop!

      [turns to face Rachel, tosses the Gentleman to his thugs and approaches Rachel, adjusting his hair with the knife]

      The Joker: Well, hello, beautiful. You must be Harvey's squeeze. And you *are* beautiful.

      [he walks around her]

      The Joker: Oh, you look nervous. Is it the scars? You want to know how I got 'em?

      [He grabs Rachel's head and positions the knife by her mouth]

      The Joker: Come here. Hey! Look at me. So I had a wife. She was beautiful, like you. Who tells me I worry too much. Who tells me I ought to smile more. Who gambles and gets in deep with the sharks. One day, they carve her face. And we have no money for surgeries. She can't take it. I just want to see her smile again. I just want her to know that I don't care about the scars. So... I stick a razor in my mouth and do this...

      [the Joker mimics slicing his mouth open with his tongue]

      The Joker: ...to myself. And you know what? She can't stand the sight of me! She leaves. Now I see the funny side. Now I'm always smiling!

      [Rachel knees the Joker in the groin; he merely laughs it off]

      The Joker: A little fight in you. I like that.

      Batman: [off-screen] Then you're gonna love me.

      [attacks him]

    • The Joker: It's a funny world we live in. Speaking of which, do you know how I got these scars?

      Batman: [while being pinned down on the platform next to the ledge of a building that's still under construction] No! But I know how you got these!

      [fires gauntlet blades into Joker's face]
