Film Review - The Dark Knight

Running time 152 minutes Language English Budget $185 million Gross revenue $1,001,921,825 Gary Oldman really stepped up his game in this movie as well. His character played a much larger role in this movie than it did in Batman Begins, and Oldman was certainly able to rise to this. Aaron Eckhart absolutely surprised me in his role as Harvey Dent. I previously considered him a mediocre actor, this having mostly to do with the fact that he had never really played any complex roles before this.

It was the quickest method presented to you, and was also one of the cheapest. It had minimal loss of troops, as it was one small plane the 'Enola gay' that carried and dropped the atomic bomb. This option was a good test and sent out a positive message for the rest of the United States of America.

In addition, strangers accepting children into their homes showed that the country was united as people were prepared to help others unknown to them.

Economic reasons for protectionism

Evaluation of Issues Project

Steven Spielberg is Jewish, and his film 'Schindler's List' has its point of view to sympathise with the Jews because of the cruelty to them from the Nazis.
