Nolan Batman movies are textbook examples of gaslighting.
Everyone says they’re good but then you sit down and watch one and it’s goofball city for 2 hrs.
Saw a recent review roasting The Dark Knight and it was both poignant and funny.
I think The Dark Knight is a shitty attempt at a Christ allegory by Nolan.
Harvey Dent was the “symbol” of the city (why the hell would a city have a person as a symbol in the first place), who was corrupted by the “devil” (Joker), then he committed evil by murdering people.
So good “Christ” (Batman) took the blame for Harvey’s evils so city could be redeemed of crime (through extended powers to the police ofc)
Easily the worst Christ analogy I’ve seen period. Not only is the message utterly fascistic but it’s not even well-written smh.
