“we are being attacked by the future.”
first time i saw this was at like 3am and i understood 0% of it.
now, years later, I’m rewatching and understood about 50% of it, which is a massive upgrade.
let me watch it seventeen more times and i may fully comprehend it, but in the meantime i’ll just appreciate the action, effects, themes, and Washington & Pattinson’s performances.
“Sometimes a man rises from the darkness. Sometimes the pit sends something back.”
Such an explosively emotional ending to one of the greatest trilogies in cinema.
It’s still unclear to me how the world feels about Tom Hardy’s Bane but I think he was a tremendous choice.
The relationships and characters drive this film just as they did its predecessor- the relationship between Bruce and Alfred as well as between Batman and Commissioner Gordon are what really sell The Dark…
“we burnt the forest down.”
“let’s put a smile on that face.”
“this town deserves a better class of criminal. and i’m gonna give it to them.”
“in their last moments people show you who they really are.”
“some men just want to watch the world burn.”
“you know the thing about chaos. it’s fair.”
The Dark Knight is, above all else, the most handsomely philosophical and deeply, intuitively, and equally audience AND cinema-centered comic book film of all time.
