It’s been a couple of months since I
blogged and met you all lastly. Since then I never found anything interesting
on the cards to be written on my blog until I was down with “The Dark Knight
Rises” fever. I don’t want to call this a movie review because it is purely gonna
be from my perspective or I can say I am not that good in reviewing someone’s
sheer drudgery and uphill battle. I have to confess that I saw the batman
trilogy last week only. I wonder and regret for having been missing it until
the last weekend.
Christopher
Nolan:
Note
that I am not a voracious or an insatiable English movie buff like that of my
other friends, but on the contrary this gentleman and a prodigy named
Christopher Jonathan James Nolan has mutated me into an ardent, insatiable
Hollywood Movie buff. When you have a profuse fan following, the pressure that
is built on you is sky high and having been given us the awe-inspiring,
breathtaking and the magnum opus prequels like the “The Batman Begins” and “The
Dark Knight” you need a witty and a clever gut even to think about the hype and
the pressure you are about to face. Nolan has handled the enormous pressure that
was heaped up on him, with such an ease which is evident from the way he has scripted
and carved the final part of the trilogy “The Dark Knight Rises”. Nolan has
indeed been bestowed with the natural talent of script writing, screen play and
direction which is evident from the way the audiences are glued to their
respective seats until the last scene and the very last frame of the movie. The
casting, the logic and the plot at any point in the movie never ever resembled like
it was emulated from the DC comics. If you are a person who will look over the
nook and corner of any movie for its logical flaws and loop holes, then I must
say this is not the movie you are looking for. The Nolan mesmerism and
hypnotism will never let you think about the logical flaws for the entirety of
the movie I must say. Let me conclude saying that Christopher is a real epitome
of legendary direction and script writing. Now it’s time to hold the wire for
the “Man of Steel” from the subtle man who has never disappointed his fanatics
till date. I don’t care about the hype this is gonna create but I am damn sure
that he will deliver a sucker punch to all his critics yet again.
The Dark
Knight Rises:
Most of the guys must have
definitely watched the movie by now or many would have read those bounteous
reviews about the movies by now and for those who haven’t watched it yet, I
don’t want to reveal the plot and I don’t want you to lose the thrill, the
magic, the suspense and those hair rising moments which I personally underwent
and experienced while seeing the movie. Please do make sure you watch it only at
the theatres else you will be missing a master piece in your life time. I must
definitely say that me and my two other friends Bala and Jerald who accompanied
me for the movie personified ourselves as the citizens of “Gotham City “
initially when the movie started and ended up personifying ourselves as “The
Batman “ alias Bruce Wayne who is the savior of the city.
Casting:
I must definitely say that each
and every person who has acted in the movie has indeed made cent percent
justice to their characters. Christian Bale, as the multi billionaire Bruce
Wayne shall be renamed as Bruce Wayne from now on. Tom Hardy, as the bane was
banal at times, that’s just because you are missing the legendary Heath ledger
here. Anna Hathway was a perfect fit as the cat woman and you will be blown
away by her stunts in the movie. Michael Caine as “Alfred” and Gordon Levitt as
“John Blake” were scintillating in their performances. Morgan Freeman and Gary Old
man have lived as “Lucius Fox” and “Commissioner Gordon” respectively.
Hans
Zimmer:
When two legends join hands together you can never expect anything
less than a power packed project. Hans Zimmer and Christopher Nolan are not a mere
exception here. The Sound Tracks and the BGM’s contribute to more than 50 % of
those hair rising moments in the movie (G***a G****a moments as usually
portrayed by my friend Navanee when he is in his peak of excitement). The
legendary Oscar Award winner Zimmer was as usual an epitome of excellence.
Verdict:
A
Technically Sound and uniquely Crafted Master Piece in which you will hypostatize
yourself as the citizens of Gotham City waiting a bit too long for the Batman
to save you and your city for the entirety of 2 hours and 45 minutes. Take a
bow - Christopher Nolan and three cheers to the entire crew of
the Trilogy.
