Movies have the power to draw people in and speak on personal levels without actually experiencing anything. I may be with a hundred million other people on this, but the Dark Knight trilogy does this in my life. With so much actual pain now surrounding the movies, reality intensifies what is portrayed on the screen. And what we see on the screen is beyond what words can describe because its more of an emotional experience. There is a connection with the characters through seeing/feeling what they have experienced then adding that to what we feel in real life as we relate those experiences to what we see in our world.
Words are not enough to say how much thought and effort were put into the making of these films. It truly is an experience. I'd never really been a fan of superheroes or comics when Batman Begins came out. I hadn't seen any of the previous Batman movies, I just went to see it because it was something to do. The movie made me a fan instantly. When The Dark Knight came out, there was already tragedy in knowing that it would be the last time Heath Ledger would be on screen, but the movie went far and beyond what anyone expected. And now we have the last installment and the culmination of an epic story that will last for many years to come.
How could anything match up to what The Dark Knight had already done? The thing about a good movie is that it's story never ends. TDKR brings everything full circle and makes all three movies become one story. There is no question that the end to this story is perfect, and lacks nothing. Everything has an answer. My tiny insignificant hat is off to the writers, to Christopher Nolan, to the actors, actresses, and crew members. There are so many magnificently talented people that have worked on these movies and the proof is in the pudding. I haven't been able to think about anything else since I left the theater. All I can think about is how great everything was portrayed, the actors' performances, the film score, the CGI, how everything just seemed absolutely perfect. With no knowledge of the comic books, I have nothing to base it off of, but I think that's what makes it so amazing. I'm glad to be able to say that I was able to personally experience all of the movies, and will always be a fan of this re-telling of a classic story. I could keep going on and on, but I'd rather leave it up to the movies to show how truly amazing they really are.
