1. I am going to talk about movies very seriously, to the point where most normal people would say "Yeah, your a dumbass."
2. I have always loved and will always love the cliched, stereotypical hero, so that's part of what fueled the post.
3. I am a Marvel girl through and through, but My favorite Super Hero ever has always been Batman.
So, I'm going to start with the basic reasons I liked the movie so much. And seeing as the listsseem to be helping me organize my thoughts, we're just going to stick with the format.
1. Hans Zimmer's score I certainly think is worthy of, at the very least, and Oscar nomination, if not the award.
2. I think Michael Caine deserves a supporting actor nomination for Alfred, he kinda stole the show in every scene he was in. Tom Hardy was pretty intense as well, his eyes were all you needed to see to understand the malice in his character.
3. Christian Bale... Ok, I love this dude period because he's a great guy, but I sincerely think he might very well have been made for this role. He has done such wonderful justice to the characters Batman and Bruce Wayne over the past three films, and his coup de gras was this film. He just owned it.
Ok, no for the hard part. This is probably just going to sound like rambling nonsense, but I have to get it out of me. Oh, and major spoiler alerts, if you haven't seen the movie you may not want to read on.
I have a problem with movies. I watch them all the time, I can watch a movie once and be able to quote nearly the entire movie. Because of this, I gravitate toward movies that have memorable quotes. My favorite quote from this movie is "Anyone can be a hero, even the man who puts his coat around a little boy's shoulders and telling him everything is going to be alright." Part of the reason I have always loved Batman is this principle. Batman always made sure no one could tell who he was, so he could be anyone. Batman was a symbol, not a person, and I love that. I also really loved the prison sequence, although I saw the whole "need to fear death, don't use a rope" thing coming as soon as they flashed back to the kid. I still loved that the prisoners chant "rise" whenever someone climbs, and Bruce hearing his father was beautiful. "Why do we fall? So we can get back up." I live by this phrase. For real. I literally bawled my eyes out the last twenty minutes of the movie. One place I nearly squealed with Joy and sadness was when Kyle was telling Batman that he'd given Gotham everything, and he simply said "Not yet." It was then you knew he was going to die. Now granted, if you are paying attention to how the story arc was going in the other two movies, you kinda knew Batman was going to die, but it was still a very intense moment when he flew out over the water. Then the end with Alfred in Europe, "I would look at you, and you would look at me, and we wouldn't say anything, but I would know you were happy." I could barely stand it. I think part of the reason I loved this movie so much is Batman is just the ultimate hero for me. He takes the fall for Dent's murder, because he knows that Gotham needs someone to love (Dent) and someone to hate (him) to feel right. The Dark Knight never gets any credit for all the good he has done for the city, and that just tugs at my heartstrings. I love Batman, everything about him. Because he's so humble. I just... My eyes are tearing up just writing this.
Ok, that felt good. I'm done.
have a graphic, on me.
