Revealing the powerful use of theme that runs throughout the movie and how it affects each of the characters, the Batman's journey, and the climax of the film.
Do I need to say SPOILERS for 'The Dark Knight'? Well. There is. Obviously. Also for 'Batman Begins' and 'The Dark Knight Rises'.
Taking a troubled man in a mask, director Christopher Nolan turned a simple comic-book conceit into a tightly woven exploration of one his personal interests; identity.
From the idea of who we are, to what we choose to be, the film expands into a discussion on morality, self-belief, imagery, the power of symbolism, and what makes a true hero.
Layer by layer I delve into the different stories being told, and the choice of imagery, setting, and dialogue to understand what the film is about.
'Digging Deeper' is a series taking a serious look (for us) at films, themes, characters, and various aspects of filmmaking, writing, directing, and more.
