great movie. Believable storyline,in the sense that there are many injustices in this world we live,and how they present in many differnet forms. I also liked the positive notions on how not too lose hope even in the darkest times. I feel this batman movie,was made to be more real, and also tells truths about society. I feel this movie shows the classic struggle between good versus evil, such as the bible, and the struggles each human faces,and the choices we make on how to deal with them. no human is exempt from these struggles, no matter what socioeconomical status. This was a clever block buster movie forcing it's viewers to take a real look at ethics and morales, and how we choose to live our lives, and what we consider to be important. I do not believe we live in a complely negative world, there are infact many good people who do care very much about others, which is the only reason i think this world still revolves. however you can not deny that evil does exist, and in many forms. I love movies that bring out truth, it is so easy to loose sight of our main purpose for existng, such as the insignificant, unimportant, idiotic materialistic things that cloud our everyday minds which inturn infect or effect the world in which we live. I like the analogy, we are consuming, booming, fumming, humans. People live and they die everyday, noone is exempt to the unevetable. it is so important not to lose focus of what is important. Heath gave an amazing performance, truley jaw dropping. I feel if this had to be the last film he was portrayed in, i am glad he was able to play a role to which he had the opportunity to ponder the holistic view as to the world we all live,and hopefully he was able to come to his own conclusions about it before he passed. & FYI, I do think his death was accidental, non intentional. The joker was evil but inorder to play such a role, one must understand both sides of the storyline. Stress is a killer, no joke, laugh and you will live longer. God bless.

sorry but, the titanic stunk, i mean sunk. Yes, it was a tragic event in hx true, but did not leave a lasting impression on me the way the dark knight did. Titanic was good because it portrayed a sad event in history, which also was melodied with a heart mourning song, gotta love it. but the story was wrapped around a sappy love story, that took way too long to unravel, oh brother...booring, pleease can't we just get on with it. Live is too short, to spend hours watching conversations of people who don't even really exist and are mildly entertaining at best. just like that other flick pearl harbor and the long drawn out love story that Im sure actually annoyed veterans who actually served in that era, which took away from the real significant honrable historical sacrifice they had to endure, never mind the suffering of PTSD, from the war not the movie(just to clarify). and by the by, If a movie is gonna go on >2hrs, make sure there is alot of action, and good exciting dialogue, otherwise your viewers heads just might pop off and roll down the aisle and out the door. YEAHH
