My quick impression of the Dark Knight Rises trailer.
December 22nd, 2011It’s looks good. I think Nolan made the best movie of last year with Inception and looks to be applying that same kind of technical skill with this film (The special effect with the football field is really well done). Really solid stuff.
Also, interesting is the scene when Anne Hathaway a.k.a. Catwoman’s talks about Bruce Wayne “living so large” and “leaving so little for the rest of us.” The concept of wealth inequality, has become even more highlighted especially with the arrival of the Occupy Wall Street movement with their 99 percent/1% slogans that has since become a popular catchphrase.
This Occupy influence was also alluded to in activist/journalist Luke Rudkowski’s interview with Dark Knight Rises star Joseph Gordon Levitt after his visit to Zuccotti Park. It will be interesting to see how this social commentary will play out. Catwoman is a villain (although she is represented as a hero at times.) Will the Occupy folk like it? Will they hate it? Only, time will tell.
