## Description

Dark Knight, The (4K Ultra HD + Blu-ray)

Review: The movie that should have been called "The Joker" (a review from a Heath's fan) - The Dark Knight was released on July 14, 2008, almost 6 months after Heath’s death. The film started filming on April 2, 2007 and finished filming on October 19, 2007. I personally found the plot weak and the casting (besides Heath, Michael Caine and Morgan Freeman) not quite convincing. The love story between Rachel and the other guy (I forgot his name, since his character is so easy to forget) has neither magic nor depth. I think it could have been much more interesting to explore the relationships between the characters and to tell much more of the Joker’s story instead of so many explosions, fights and guns. Nevertheless, it’s a good movie for teenagers (although very violent) and for people who love comic-book heroes. The special effects are spectacular, and the Joker and the music (Hans Zimmer and James Newton Howard) are definitely the best of the film. Heath’s portrayal of the Joker is so good that when he is not on screen the movie really goes down, and when he appears, one cannot take the eyes off of him. The Joker is so cool and brilliant that one really wants him to win the battle. Although not a fan of comic books, Heath said that “the character of the Joker was too good to turn down”. Heath wasn’t a fan of blockbuster movies neither, but the character was too attractive: “in this monster machine of a movie, popcorn movie … it was purely a character choice, I can honestly say that”. He thought that Jack Nicholson’s portrayal of the Joker was perfect (“To touch what Jack Nicholson did in Tim Burton’s world would be a crime”), and he never compared himself to Nicholson because he really believed that the worlds of Tim Burton and Christopher Nolan are completely different, and therefore, uncomparable: “It was an opportunity for a new version of the Joker”. Although Heath knew immediately after being asked to play the Joker how he wanted to do it (“I knew 5 seconds later exactly how to play it”), he locked himself up in a hotel room in London for 6 weeks in order to prepare his character, looking for the Joker’s voice and looking for his laugh: “I locked myself away for 6 weeks in a room and I kind of came up with this creep”. He wrote a diary about the Joker he was going to portray with notes, drawings and photos of old Batman Comics, hyenas and A Clockwork Orange. His father shows the diary in the great German TV series-Documentary Too Young to Die: Heath Ledger (S1, Ep. 3, July 28, 2012). I bought the Documentary in English from the producers of the show and I can say that it is the best documentary about Heath that I’ve seen. Kim Ledger says, showing “the Joker” diary: “He galvanized the upcoming character in his own mind. That was typical of Heath … this was just on a whole new level”. The diary ends with the words “Bye, bye”, which are, after Heath’s death, very painful. There are many stupid speculations about how portraying the Joker led Heath to exhaustion and death, but the truth is that, although the character required a high level of energy, “it was incredibly enjoyable”. Heath said in many interviews that he had a lot of fun playing the Joker: “The Joker was … the most fun I ever had … probably ever will have playing a character”. He described the Joker as a “dark, very nasty … psychopath, sociopath, mass-murdering clown”. The Joker was not only evil but something else: “He’s not just gonna be scary … there are [a] few surprises, I think”. Sadly, Heath didn’t see any takes or parts of the film, because the producers were very secretive about it: “I think the movie is going to be awesome. I’m very excited for it. I haven’t seen anything. Nothing. They really don’t want anyone to see anything. It’s very secretive. But just from what I’ve seen first hand and just from what I’ve heard, I think it’s going to be good”. The movie is “In memory of our friends Heath Ledger and Conway Wickliffe”. Wickliffe (1966–2007) was killed on set while filming a test run / Antonia Tejeda Barros (Spain)
Review: Fantastic - My favourite Batman movie. Brilliant action with a dark story acted by a brilliant cast. It's a more than once watch.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ THE DARK KNIGHT 2008
*by M***S on 31 October 2014*

The Dark Knight is a 2008 superhero film directed, produced, and co-written by Christopher Nolan. Based on the DC Comics character Batman, the film is the second part of Nolan's Batman film series and a sequel to 2005's Batman Begins. Christian Bale reprises the lead role of Bruce Wayne/Batman, with a returning cast of Michael Caine as Alfred Pennyworth, Gary Oldman as James Gordon and Morgan Freeman as Lucius Fox. The film introduces the character of Harvey Dent (Aaron Eckhart), Gotham's newly elected District Attorney and the consort of Bruce Wayne's childhood friend Rachel Dawes (Maggie Gyllenhaal replacing Katie Holmes from the first film), who joins Batman and the police in combating the new rising threat of a criminal mastermind calling himself "The Joker" (Heath Ledger). Nolan's inspiration for the film was the Joker's comic book debut in 1940, the 1988 graphic novel The Killing Joke, and the 1996 series The Long Halloween, which retold Two-Face's origin. The nickname "the Dark Knight" was first applied to Batman in Batman #1 (1940), in a story written by Bill Finger.[5][6] The Dark Knight was filmed primarily in Chicago, as well as in several other locations in the United States, the United Kingdom, and Hong Kong. Nolan used an IMAX camera to film some sequences, including the Joker's first appearance in the film. On January 22, 2008, some months after he had completed filming on The Dark Knight and six months before the film's release, Heath Ledger died from a toxic combination of prescription drugs, leading to intense attention from the press and movie-going public. Warner Bros. initially created a viral marketing campaign for The Dark Knight, developing promotional websites and trailers highlighting screenshots of Ledger as the Joker. A co-production of the United States and the United Kingdom, The Dark Knight was released on July 16, 2008 in Australia, on July 18, 2008 in North America, and on July 24, 2008 in the United Kingdom. Considered by film critics to be one of the best films of the 2000s and one of the best superhero films ever,[7][8] the film received highly positive reviews and set numerous records during its theatrical run.[9] With over $1 billion in revenue worldwide, it is the 19th-highest-grossing film of all time, unadjusted for inflation.[10] The film received eight Academy Award nominations; it won the award for Best Sound Editing and Ledger was posthumously awarded Best Supporting Actor.[11] The Dark Knight Rises, the final film in the trilogy, was released on July 20, 2012.
