Journal 2

My favorite movie of all time has to be The Dark Knight. The first reason is because of the outstanding plot. From start to finish I was into the movie and at the edge of my seat. As Batman struggles to maintain order, the joker tries to plunge him and all of Gotham City into anarchy. "The only sensible way to live in this world is without rules" the joker says. As Batman believes his time is coming to an end because of district attorney Harvey Dent. He sees Dent as the hero Gotham truly deserves, a public figure that stands up to crime. A "white knight" in essence. But after a tragic event, the Joker causes Dent to join the anarchy. The second reason this is my favorite movie is because of the great acting. Christian Bale does a great job playing Batman, but it is more about Heath Ledger's Joker that got me. Just the way he talks, and the way he acts shows that he did so much to prepare for his role. A sadistic being that has no care about human life, a criminal that cares not about money, but sending a message. The part in the movie where he says "Why so serious?!" sends chills all the way down your spine. But it was in the preparation for this role that he took, that caused him to pass away shortly after the film was created. In my mind he is the best Joker character and no one will ever surpass him.
