I couldn't watch the Dark Knight the first week it came out. 2 weeks after, I attempted to get tickets to a 745 show an hour earlier. it was sold out. so I managed to get tickets to the 9PM show. I showed up for good seats half an hour earlier and there was already a HUGE line! today on E! news I saw that in its second week, it pulled off 74.5 million. kudos dark knight. you're successful. now to talk about the goods ;)
once the movie starts, you're on the edge of your seat. through out the entire movie, you're still there, on the edge of your seat, aniticpating what's gonna happen. and if you're not on the edge of your seat, you've fallen off from all the anticipation. the movie is an anxiety attack on film.
if you're a Batman lover, you'll love the hints they drop to the sequel. (for instance, when Bruce asks Lucious if the new suit he's designed for him will protect against dogs and Lucious replies, "dogs? no... but it'll do great against cats") hm... is an anti hero gonna make an appearance next? Two Face came out great. I BELIEVE IN HARVEY DENT!
and of course (RIP Heath Ledger, you were amazing) the Joker was the best. believe me when I say he made the movie. he made the movie! I advise you watch. NOW.
The Joker: Do I really look like a man with a plan, Harvey? I don't have a plan. The mob has plans, the cops have plans. You know what I am, Harvey? I'm a dog chasing cars. I wouldn't know what to do if I caught one. I just *do* things. I'm a wrench in the gears. I *hate* plans. Yours, theirs, everyone's. Maroni has plans. Gordon has plans. Schemers trying to control their worlds. I am not a schemer. I show schemers how pathetic their attempts to control things really are. So when I say that what happened to you and your girlfriend wasn't personal, you know I'm telling the truth.
The Joker: You look nervous. Is it the scars? You want to know how I got them? Come here. Hey, look at me. So I had a wife, 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 sharks. One day they carve her face. 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... 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!
The Joker: [holding a knife inside Gamble's mouth] Wanna know how I got these scars? My father was....a drinker. And a fiend. And one night he goes off crazier than usual. Mommy gets the kitchen knife to defend herself. He doesn't like that. Not. One. Bit. So, me watching, he takes the knife to her, laughing while he does it. Turns to me and he says "Why so serious?" Comes at me with the knife,"Why so serious?" He sticks the blade in my mouth. "Lets put a smile on that face!" And..... Why so serious?
why so serious?
