Summary of the Dark Knight

On seeing the title of this movie, I thought in this movie there would be a lot of fights and the batman would be a hero who punish those government officers or cops who receive bribes. However, after seeing this movie, I found I was totally wrong.
Because we have watched this movie together, I won’t introduce the plots here. In general, in this movie the batman defeats the evil. There are three main characters, the batman, Joker and Harvey Dent. The batman is still the batman we are familiar with; Harvey Dent is an inspector who is a fair man seeking for justice but failed finally. Joker is an insane person who wants to find excitements form all kinds of rules-broken affairs.
It is obviously that the director’ favorite character is Joker. Compared with the batman, despite those action plots, Joker’ every word, every movement is pondered carefully. He is a person who dislikes those opinionated schemers. He just wants to break the rules and show the schemers the so-called rules are very weak. Consequently he behaved weird; he broke the rules of the mobs and then broke the rules of those government officers. Even in his last time he showed a strong desire to death, which is not our “common rule”. If all the rules you are familiar with and living on are broken, can you imagine how terrible your life will be? You would never know what you should do. You would even wonder if you should be dead or not. Can we call this the “freedom”? Joker wanted to show a real world without rules to the ridiculous public. Though finally Joker was caught by batman, in a way he was still successful. He broke rules and in Harvey Dent it turned out that human beings are ugly without the rules. Maybe my views cannot get across to you, anyhow, Joker is my favorite character and I think he is a “real” guy. Maybe I can call him a great person.
At the end, just like Alfred said in the movie, in this world there are some people who get bored of the “great rules” and want to see what the world will be if the rules are broken. What will the world look like without rules? Who knows…
