The Dark Knight

When we hear or talk about the great personalities we instantly recall their achievements, their efforts or something ridiculously brilliant about them. Similarly, when we talk about villainy, the first character that comes to our mind is the "Joker". The success behind Christopher Nolan's masterpiece was not just Nolan himself but a combination of brilliance by multiple stars like Christian Bale, Morgan Freeman, Gary Oldman,  Aaron Eckhart and the great Heath Ledger. The Dark Knight is listed in one of the all time great movies and that was because of a symbolic character Heath Ledger played. The "Joker", a notorious psychopathic killer whose crime spree has no ends.

We perceive villains to be somewhat materialistic in every movie with some fixation occurred in the past and they vent out those frustrations with a killing spree. But the Dark Knight's Joker set the bar too high for any villain to reach or surpass. We just read about the "Joker" in comics and the Jokers in the past did not scare us at all but who would've thought this thriller would leave its viewers in an awe. The Joker seems to be not materialistic at all as  he follows what drives him and what intrigues him. Remember the scene where he just burns the whole gigantic pyramid of money? That just sums up his unpredictable nature.

Shifting our attention to the wealthy spoiled kid known as Bruce Wayne who took the initiative and put over the costume of The Batman, the vigilante who had already taken the city out of the deep vicious circle of corruption and volatile condition of Gotham one along with Lieutenant Gordon and DA Harvey Dent. One thing really exceptional about Batman is its just not some superhero with supernatural powers and his heroics are incomplete without the use of some made up powers. This super hero relies on gadgets designed specially by Mr. Fox. It doesn't need some underprivileged individual to develop a feeling to save the city or community. A wealthy Bruce Wayne could have just watched the city burn but the Joker was so irresistible.

All in all, the movie was so good that it secured a place in our long lasting memories. A combination of suspense, thrill, action and what not. Two equally pertinent and prominent characters struggling to predict each other's move and giving a hard time. The movie is highlighted in one of the greatest pieces of all time. When you start taking side of the hero and just start hating the villain because of his unscrupulous nature, that shows how natural the stars played their roles. Unfortunately, Heath could not see his masterpiece on screen but he left us with a lot of words to live by, lots of messages to follow. Even after 15 years, The Dark Knight is still watched and even its posters and quotes are seen on walls, graffiti, cars and what not specially Joker's.
