So...

I watched The Dark Knight last Thursday with my best friend and my sister and... I just can't express with words what a flawless work of art this film truly is. "A perfect ten. An eleven even" I told a friend and mark my words.
I usually go to the movies unbiased, even if I'm about to watch a movie based upon a character I dearly love, just to let the actors and the director tell their tale; later, I can judge wether I liked it or not, based upon the way they told their story. With this film, I was a 10-year-old again. I had loved Batman Begins so much that I just expected Chistopher Nolan, Christian Bale, Heath Ledger, Michael Cane, Aaron Eckhart and everyone in the film to blow me away. And they did. In every possible way.

As I stated, this movie is a true work of art: from the brilliant performances of every actor in it (Ledger most of all) to the most sublime way it is paced and filmed by Mr. Nolan. After watching it, I was literally breathless and I came home to find my hand paying tribute to it in the only way I can convey my feelings when I'm at a loss for words. To me, true art generates more art, and this film has generated this desire in me to create, to depict what I felt sitting in that cinema for whatever the movie's length was (which is unnoticeable!).
I hope this does it some justice... my hat is off to this movie, the best I've seen in a long time.

Go watch it. I'll do it again this week.
