The Dark Knight Saga/Analysis: Difference between revisions

All too many people have taken this speech as the word of God even though we know very well Joker is a lying and manipulative. The sole purpose of the speech was to mind screw Dent over the edge, and if anyone, Harvey Dent is the true agent of chaos of the movie, because what's more chaotic than deciding one's moral actions by a flip of a coin (because, you know, "chaos" doesn't mean explosions, destruction and violence. It's about indeterminism and literally unpredictability). Joker however DID indeed have a plan, as his final speech (ace in the hole) confirms. And if you still don't buy that he could pull it off, there's a simple named superpower for it: probability control.

 

 

''The Dark Knight'' is [[Captain Obvious|a battle between good and evil]], but the good guys are fighting for more than just the lives of innocent bystanders; they are fighting for their very souls. This movie doesn't just show a battle between good and evil, but explores the root of morality as well as ''why'' the heroes fight for what's right. It makes the audience ponder the consequences of our morals, or whether they were even real at all to begin with.
