4 Part review of "The Dark Knight"-- Part 1

I saw the Dark Knight last night. My following comments are a bit of a reflection on the movie, so if you haven't seen it, you may want to wait to read the rest! Wow. I was surprised by the deep themes and darkness, hence "dark knight" I guess! Joker was definitley a picture of a serial Killer, a consistent evolutionist. Batman was facing the boring and typical identity crisis thing. THe commissioner was definitely the hero. Two-Face is a picture of an idolater who turns to the dark side through his idol. Lots of political mssgs in the movie. Hence the black man retiring over the wire-tapping issue. "Nobody cares about a bus full of soldiers blowing up." THe joker is identified as a terrorist who tortures and kills people and then sends the videos in to the public. The movie pokes at lots of things. It makes you think again like other movies, about the relentless question of Hollywood--
