Holy ethics, Batman!
I just saw the new Batman movie, and holy cow, it was so complex that after four days, I'm still thinking about it.
Initial reaction: not for children. The Dark Night is really dark. The violence in the movie is not so much physical as it was psychological. The terror was not in the darkness or the shadows but in the madness that lurked not just in ( Read more... )
in our women's studies class, we, girls, were challenged to watch movie alone, and i watched batman. in an imax theatre pa.
honestly,i am not an avid fan of superhero movies. however, i watched superman and spiderman before (because of my bro) and i did enjoy them. hoping that i would enjoy Dark Night as well (because its trailers and pictures were everywhere), i watched it alone. but to my disappointment, i did not. it only left me with headache dahil masyadong mabilis ang camera at times.
my sociology professor even said that he took his son to watch it, and did not enjoy it as well, because the story is "too deep" for the children to understand. that his child ended up asking eveything, that in the end, my professor is answering every questions his child had.
the movie is sure a big deal when it comes to it's effects and all that, but i agree that it lacked the ethics. =D you said it all miss. :)
thanks for posting this, i never thought that the movie was not just violent and a headache. it was more than that the media practitioners should take notice of. =)
