the dark knight, 4.14.25

the dark knight is one of the most complete movies ever (thus far). the shots are cinematic, the actors fit their roles perfectly, but most importantly, the writing is simply top tier. it takes me me a couple days to a week to finish a movie, so this maybe a premature judgement on the film, but i can’t help but to think i’ll rate it even higher when i do finish it. the scene where bruce goes to the apartment during the funeral service and finds soldiers stripped of their uniforms, tied and duck taped to a column, then the camera flashes to the joker dressed as a soldier as he pulls his gun is one of the greatest scenes i’ve seen in a feature film. it’s everything put together, but the writing is perfection. i’m looking forward to finishing it.

though when a movie is this good, you kind of hope it never ends.
