THE DARK KNIGHT (2008) & Ordered Disorder The Prestige

    • TV & Film

The ‘Nolanverse’ rolls on, as we focus on THE DARK KNIGHT. Sam’s view of the film may not be as predicted, before we talk about the origins of the Joker, what it means to really be chaotic, and the young loss of a phenomenal acting talent.

This Week’s Media
JOHN WICK (2014): Chad Stahelski, David Leitch, Keanu Reeves
AMERICAN GODS (2017): Neil Gaiman, Ricky Whittle, Emily Browning

Recommendations
BROKEBACK MOUNTAIN (2005): Ang Lee, Heath Ledger, Jake Gyllenhaal
SPECTRE (2015): Sam Mendes, Daniel Craig, Christoph Waltz
HEAT (1995): Michael Mann, Al Pacino, Robert de Niro
THE MAN WHO LAUGHS (1928): Paul Leni, Mary Philbin, Conrad Veidt

Footnotes
Rob mentions that one of his recommendations this week is a piece of German Expressionism; read more about this movement here, here and here. Speaking of which, here’s that eerily Joker-esque picture of Conrad Veidt. Not much else to add this week, apart from a great piece on Heath Ledger. And this is a fun article (not on movie mistakes, despite the page’s title).
