Apparently, Cleolinda got one - need to go check lj for that.

Todd Alcott has done a detailed summary/analysis of Dark Knight that I am kinda in love with. There's a lot in there I want to quote, but I'll just pick this:

When people complain about Batman being foolish in The Dark Knight, they're wishing for the strong, always-right, never-wrong Batman of their imaginations. But the greatness of The Dark Knight's narrative lies in how it shows that Batman is often wrong, and completely helpless when dealing with a criminal like the Joker. There is no defense against evil, only the strength to not give in to it. "If Batman has limits, I can't afford to know them," says Bruce in Act I, and here he's confronted with the folly of that headstrong philosophy -- Batman is all about limits, and the narrative of The Dark Knight is, in large part, an examination, and definition, of those limits.

Act 1 Act 2 Act 3 Act 4

I found the movie so sad that I'm not sure I'm yet up to reading an in-depth analysis.

Wow, Strega. I started reading that, and I just don't have the time now, but it's pretty awesome so far. Who is that guy?

I do disagree with one thing, however (and it was very early on, and also minor). We aren't told that the Joker is behind the heist until he reveals himself. Viewers could assume that from the previews (since the Joker is in the movie), but anybody coming to the movie cold wouldn't know that.

Megan and Juliana need to see this.

Love the field notes. Although I must disagree with this:

Simply adding facial hair to Keanu can increase his Kean-u-meter by one to two points.

You mean sad as in a downer and not sad as in bad, right? If the former, I think that's why I don't have quite the energy to read it right now also. That, and (shameful admission) I HATE reading things that require serious critical attention on a computer. I have a similar problem with movies, TV episodes and such. I need a little distance to digest - words on some kind of paper, visions on a screen across the room, etc.

Absolutely the former, Frank. I really found the movie affecting.

I did too. Plus, the first movie I felt compelled to see at a midnight show opening since... I think...Tim Burton's first Batman movie (which I did enjoy, but in those days I could shrug off the late-night factor of given I was in college at the time, and it didn't affect me nearly half as much).

I do wonder how much of that is the Heath Ledger factor (or the circumstances concerning him I should say, and I'm speaking as someone who only had a passing familiarity with him, having only seen a few early things he was in and not having seen Brokeback Mountain, mainly because I thought it would be a downer), but just about everything in the movie hit me like I was an open nerve.

The Heath Ledger effect was impossible for me to ignore, but the starkness of the ending was just about Gotham and Bruce and Batman and Harvey and Two Face. Oh, and Jim Gordon. I guess I mean it was wide-sweeping but Ledger-effect-free.

I had to retell the entire movie to both my parents, separately. I felt like such a seven year old, because anything with costumes is kiddie stuff to them, and I just wanted them to understand it didn't have to be juvenile just because some guy dressed as a bat and another wore too much makeup.

TDK is one of the few movies that I've given my full attention to every time I've seen it. Most movies, by the third repetition I'm really watching only a third of it. This one, I listen to every single word each time.
