This has to be one of my favorite movies all time. I have seen all the batman movies including the ones from back in the day. There is no way that the Dark Night isn't the best one out of them all. The director Christopher Nolan who also directed "Batman Begins", "Momento", "Inception" and "The Prestige."Other than Momento I have seen them all and they are all amazing movies and would not dock any of them. Prestige is one of my top 5 movies of all time and i could watch it all the time.
The key actors in this film are Christian Bale, Aaron Eckhart, the late Heath Ledger, Michael Caine, Maggie Gyllenhal, Morgan Freeman, and Gary Oldman. Nolan did a great job of picking his cast for this movie they are all great actors and Maggie Gyllenhal did a good job of replacing Katie Holmes. I think it would of been way better if Holmes was in the movie but Gyllenhal did a great job of replacing her.
Some themes I picked up in this movie were evil never prosper, corruption, love, and power. All of themes themes are consistant with all the batman movies. There were plenty of memorable moments in this movie and some are when Batman says "Gotham needs a hero", also when Dent tells everyone that he is actually Batman and is protecting Batman because he knows that Gotham needs him to protect the people and the city. Another memorable moment is when the 18 wheeler gets flipped over and also the chase seen with the 18 wheeler and the explosions and everything else.
My analysis of The Dark Knight is that all the actors did a great job of playing their parts. If you don't mention Heath Ledger as the best actor of the movie then you have got to be out of your mind. I think that it is probably the best performance by any actor in the past 10 to 15 years. Might be a bold statement but he was absolutely amazing. It's sad what happened to him and they said that he took a lot of drugs to play the part like he did. He really got into his character and thats what made this movie great. If he hadn't been the joker who knows how this movie would of turned out and how big of impact it would of had if not for him.
The evaluation of the movie is that the storyline was so sweet and it really drew in the audience. Nolan did an amazing job of pulling the crowd in through out the whole movie. I don't think that it could of been done any better. It was fantastic and i have never heard some one say that it was a bad movie and that they didn't like it.
Some symbols in the movie were the same sided coin getting burned and that corresponding with Harvey Dent becoming Two Face. It also was a symbol for fate and decisions that Harvey makes. The bat signal on top of the building is a symbol for hope.
