The Dark Knight

The Dark Knight

This film had a suspenseful plot, action scenes, and a great acting crew. This film was influential to me because I grew up with superheroes and comic books; this movie changed my perspective of how I viewed those typical superhero movies. The Joker played by Heath Ledger really engages the audience, making you feel like the movie is non-fiction. He interacts with the audience by his stage presence: wearing intimidating makeup, his slandering remarks, and his ruthlessness. My favorite scene in the movie was when joker introduced himself to the mob, using the pen trick. The pen trick shows Joker’s willingness to undertake extreme events to satisfy his desired outcome.
