THE DARK KNIGHT RISES

‘The dark knight rises’ is a movie absolutely beyond words. It is another typical Nolan movie. He has given the world a movie above all its expectations. All the people related to the movie seem to have done very well.

          Although the movie follows its prequel ‘The Dark Knight’, the story line and its characters are on a great extend related to ‘The Batman Begins’ (the first in the series). The excellence in the scripting has done absolute justice to the story and to the people’s expectations from the ‘Nolans’ (including 'Jonathan Nolan' who has also been in scripting the movie).

The three movies in the series (namely ‘The Batman Begins’, ‘The Dark Knight’ and ‘The Dark Knight Rises’) seem to be like climbing up steps, in all aspects i.e., the story, its quality etc. the story is absolutely starting in the ‘The Batman Begins’, forms a shape in ‘The dark knight’ and reaches its ultimatum in ‘The Dark Knight Rises’. Screenplay is wisely framed with apt situations and drawing in characters and using them elegantly. A character like ‘Catwoman’ (played by Anne Hathaway) being part of the story and used to form a piece of its backbone was brilliantly done by ‘Nolan’. This character, which has never been heard related with any ‘Batman story’, forming an important role in the story is a typical ‘Nolan idea’.

‘The Batman Begins’ centralizes on thoughts of ‘Bruce Wayne’ (played by Christian Bale) about suppressing the crime in ‘Gotham city’. Whereas in ‘The Dark Knight’ all the cops in the city are also drawn to think about it by ‘Harvey Dents’ influence. And now, in ‘The Dark Knight Rises’ the whole city is brought to the front.

Perfect framing of dialogues is another peculiarity of the movie (as is all Nolan movies). The highly punching dialogues are so beautifully written that the viewers feel emotionally elated. Each important character is given at least a very important dialogue, that has a very hard effect on the character to whom the dialogue is said to.

‘Nolan’ hasn’t lost his habit of including the actors of a Nolan movie in his next. He had brought ‘Tom Hardy’, ‘Marion Cotillard’ and ‘Joseph Gordon Levitt’ (from ‘The Inception’) into the movie. Well the usual presence of ‘Michael Caine’ in ‘Nolan movies’ (since ‘The Prestige’) is another notable peculiarity.

Apparently, no ‘Nolan Movie’ have an end i.e., they do end into the beginning of another stage or phase.’ The Dark Knight Rises’ end with ‘Blake’ (played by Joseph Gordon Levitt) entering the ‘Batcave’, showing that he is to rise as ‘Gotham City’s’ next hero.

‘Christian Bale’ had already proved the point that he is a highly dedicated actor. The initial part of the movie shows his character under high emotional stress. Bale has done a great effort to make his body appear so. His dedication to work might be the reason why he’s a favorite of Nolan.

When Nolan do elate people emotionally through the dialogues he has written, it is supported by the music of ‘Hans Zimmers’. He’s absolutely a maestro in creating background scores of high emotional feel. Thus the movie makes the viewers feel the intensity through all its aspects.

Though every field related to the movie has been well executed, there were some notable mistakes. The label on police vehicles changes from ‘GPD’ (representing Gotham Patrol Dept.) to ‘GCPD’ (representing Gotham City Patrol Dept.) over scenes. The word ‘heist’ was spelled wrongly i.e., it was spelled ‘hiest’ in the crime records of ‘Catwoman’.

Overall, the movie was an excellent experience. This increases our expectations from the next Nolan movie ‘Man of Steel’.
