The Dark Knight

Usually when I am subjected to a viral ad campaign, I resist the temptation to partake in the disaster capitalism exposed by such derelict thought. Then again, not all the time is a movie ad as bad as those connected to Daddy Day Camp and 300. Yet, do to the fact of today's extensive dissemination of information on such a grand scale, I was able to view the first ten minutes of the now record breaking movie The Dark Knight, either due to a hacker, or other illegal action committed by someone. I fell in love.

I could give a shit less that Heath Ledger is dead. I have seen none of his movies because I am not a huge movie viewer, seeing some here and there. I have heard good things about him, mostly due to roles in movies I could care less to see. As most of you may know though, Death Ledger is the Joker in the newest Batman movie, and, I think, by far, it is the most well performed piece of acting I have ever seen. From the idiosyncrasies of the Joker licking the inside of his lips due to scars, to the all out murderous frenzies of one of the most well-known comic book characters of all, Ledger performs the part above and beyond anything I would ever expect from an apparently emotionally distressed actor.

The story of the movie was particularly tight, with no lack of plot twists and exemplary thought out disaster situations which made the normally moral and uptight citizen laugh at the demise of innocent human beings. A much more dark and grim storyline in contrast to the Batman Begins, but nevertheless, it was more involved hardly similar to the reigning mantra of Hollywood, which yearly puts out movies beyond justification, being less than caustic as I should be.

From what I can gather, Christian Bale's role will be forever over-looked, either because his part was far less interesting than Ledger's, or because of Ledger's demise to pills. To me, Ledger was just far more into his character, seemingly he was the character, and Batman was far too dry, with a moronic sub-plot (my only misgiving) of whether he should give up his identity to keep the Joker from killing more people.

If you wish to partake in one of the most perfect cinematic experiences of all time, take the initiative and watch this masterpiece. Otherwise, keep masturbating.
