The control of the narrative structure is also perfect. At the beginning, the appearance of the Joker was introduced as a foil for Batman's awesomeness; then Batman was too awesome, so the character's focus was on the Joker, creating a well-matched opponent; then he focused on creating a confrontation between the two. At the beginning, the clown showed his face at the banquet and gained the upper hand; in the second confrontation, the clown was caught, but the situation reversed in an instant; in the third confrontation, the clown was caught in the head-on confrontation, but successfully pulled the city hero into darkness. Like Kurosawa's Seven Samurai, it was a bleak victory.
Of course, the audience can say that there is no absolute climax, but in fact, the film has always inspired positions and thinking by infiltrating human nature. This allows the movie to push the audience into a thinking situation from the beginning of the confrontation, so the movie does not have a real visual climax, but it successfully collides with sparks in the readers' brains. This is the humanity and darkness that many movie fans talk about.
Batman's illegal law enforcement and Harvey's belief in a dictatorial way of maintaining peace surprised liberals; the Joker's killing of massacres inspired the anger of the masses, reminiscent of the mass violence mentioned in "The Rabble", which made collectivism were surprised. Of course, as a commercial film, we can no longer enter deeper thinking. No matter which position, there is still a need for a name, so Harvey's blackening is so important in the story. The implantation of the two positions is clever enough to maintain the splendor of the movie, and it is also memorable. But compared with the above two positions, Harvey's blackening seems more like the need for the plot. Although it can be explained by human nature, for Harvey's character, this explanation still seems thin.
The wonderful nature of the movie is inseparable from the performance of the clown. The opponents of superheroes have always been great villains, and the Joker in "The Dark Knight" is indeed at the level of the five scumbags, but he still makes Gotham City a mess by relying on madness and the control of humanity. This unequal strength also shifts the confrontation between the two from the battle of force to the confrontation of human nature, which is a new idea for hero-type blockbusters.
Of course, the movie also has some logical problems, such as portraying the clown too omnipotent, portraying the police too incompetent (such strict inspection, there is no bomb under the cruise ship?), portraying the human nature of the masses is too ideal... But these All can be tolerated, after all, such a wonderful commercial movie, who would care about those.
