I'm sorry, I loved the first Dark Knight movie, Batman Begins, but 2008's The Dark Knight feels like a big, awful propaganda piece trying to indoctrinate us into giving up hope!
I am not going to give up hope just because some stupid action movie tells me to!
Any writer can write a tragic ending, and then point his finger and say, this is why we should give up hope!
But I live in a world that saw the Apocalypse happen between 1914 and 1945, and then went on to witness the world of the 57 Chevy arise and put a man on the moon less than 25 years after the end of that Apocalypse!
We arose from the apocalypse to put a man on the Moon, and some stupid movie wants us to give up hope?
I'm sorry, but I'll trust my real-life history on this!
Anyone can write a tragic ending! History tells us to never give up hope!
Keep your head up, look to the light, and don't let Christopher Nolan tell you to give up hope!
God loves you!
Sincerely,
David S. Annderson
