The Dark Knight
I've been waiting for this day. With every week getting us one more closer to the release of The
Dark Knight (and my birthday) in July, I had begun to wonder when we could expect the first screening report for the film. Well, here it is and, though it does not conclude with any final impressions with the film, it does sound pretty dang positive.
The Dark Knight Screening Report
The good people at AICN have received what looks to be the first screening report for The Dark Knight. The film sounds incredible, and I'm happy to hear that Heath Ledger absolutely delivered as The Joker.
Heath Ledgers performance of the joker is truly one for the books. A man of no remorse or morals who simply wants to see things burn. There is no back story or establishing the character. He is fully formed. He does have some dialogue scenes that reveal a bit of his background. Lets just say he has some issues with his father and that smile of his is rooted in a gesture of love. He is far from a caricature and has depth . He realises that without Batman he would not be. The Joker is almost more of a terrorist than criminal. He is not motivated by money. He wants to see people suffer. Its a damn shame that this was Heath Ledger's final major performance as it shows a whole different side to him as a performer and I now know that he was endlessly talented. To watch him walk away from an exploding hospital dressed as a nurse is probably my favourite moment Ive seen on film so far this year. Also look out for when he makes a pencil disappear such a cool moment! Best supporting Oscar anyone?
