I will then proceed to compare his films to the films of another movie producer, seeing if Nolan’s films can stand up to the competition. To do this, I will be focused on his Batman trilogy, for which he is most well known for. Nolan’s Batman trilogy consists of Batman Begins (2005), The Dark Knight (2008), and The Dark Knight Rises...

...“I dont want to kill you, what would i do without you? Go back to rippin’ off mob dealers… no, no, no… no you, you complete me.” The joker is a criminal mastermind with an obsession for batman, the hero of Gotham city. The joker doesn’t chase batman with as much intensity until he sees his mutilated appearance; this represents the intelligent evilness that is present in every human, we just have to be given the right mask. A mask is a powerful thing; many people can only be themselves when no one can tell who they are. This mask can also be figurative. An example is the cocky, confidence the joker has, and the dark mysteriousness that accompanies Batman. The hero and the villain are different in so many ways; however they are more alike than...

...I am not a big fan of superheroes nor their movies. I’m more of a documentary type of movie person. My roommate, Jasmine, wanted me to accompany her to see the new movie Batman Vs. Superman, I said, “why not watch a movie of a different genre?” This film is a continuation from when Superman battled Zod from the movie Man of Steel. Where the loss of life and collateral damage left many feeling angry and helpless, including crime-fighting billionaire Bruce Wayne who is Batman. In my opinion, I thought it was a pretty good movie with a great story and a lot of action. As I review different articles about the movie Batman Vs. Superman, many fans didn’t like the film and gave bad reviews. Seitz, Matt article review of, “Batman V Superman: Dawn of...

...To start out I had to do some research on this film because I never seen the whole thing and it also has been a long time since I saw the parts that I did. I needed to brush up on the film so that I could make sure I knew what I was speaking of. After I had reviewed the research I have done, it turns out that Andy was right about The Dark Knight being the most popular film in the summer of 2008. It turns out that the film was first released in Australia, on July 16, 2008; it was two days later July 18, 2008 that it was released in North America. It wasn’t till July 24, 2008 when it was released in the United Kingdom. With over $1 billion in revenue worldwide and it is the seventh highest- grossing film of all time. I found that he was also correct when he stated that the film was a continuation from Batman Begins. The Dark Knight was filmed in many different places but the main filming took place in Chicago. The other parts took place in several parts of the United States, the United Kingdom and Hong Kong. The Dark Knight is a film about a superhero, which was directed and co- written by Christopher Nolan. The film was also produced by Charles Roven and Emma Thomas. The Dark Knight was based on the DC Comics and is part of Nolan’s Batman film series. Christian Bale played the lead character (Batman/Bruce Wayne). Some other main characters that played in the movie are Heath Ledger (joker), Gary Oldman (James Gorden), Maggie Gyllenhaal (Rachel Dawes) and Aaron Eckhart (Harvey...

...Leadership Point Paper “The Dark Knight” Overall Classification: UNCLASSIFIED//FOR OFFICIAL USE ONLY Introduction Batman, the main character in the “Dark Knight” trilogy directed by Christopher Nolan has long been a good and moral center for those who know of him, even before he became a Hollywood blockbuster. However, Batman isn’t just a superhero, he is also an everyday individual, Bruce Wayne, who faces the same dilemmas and uncertainties as any other person might encounter. The two personas, when analyzed together provide us with, be it good or bad, a holistic picture of how difficult it can be to make a decision, even if it is clearly the right decision. This essay seeks to analyze two key points from one movie in the trilogy, “The Dark Knight Rises.” The first key leadership point from the film is, lead from the front as well as the back and trust your team. While Batman made an excellent solo superhero, he gradually had to learn to trust others around him to help him accomplish his mission. In this film in particular, Bruce Wayne had to trust Mr. Fox with the handling of Wayne enterprises, something they may not seem important to his role as Batman. However, the company was the major way of getting Batman the tools and gadgets he needed. Alternatively, Batman trusted Cat Woman to blow the pile of cars blocking the exits from Gotham City, a task that he could not accomplish while performing the other critical tasks required of him. And lastly, both personas entrusted...

The character was created by writer-editor Stan Lee and writer-artist Steve Ditko, and first appeared in the anthology comic book Amazing Fantasy #15 This is some new stuff that I am now writing. When Comic boOks were accused of causing crime, many, many people wanted to ban comic books, comic books are not the reason kids are mean and violent. Or breaking the law. Or just being all around jerks. That’s whats inside, tnot what is from comci books .

...Research Paper Comics & Politics In December of 1940 almost a year before the U.S. would enter into WWII, Captain America Comic #1 was released with the cover showing the super hero punching Hitler (Aiken, 41). This is only one of several different examples of politics being present in comics. No matter the political issue comics have not been afraid to express their views on politics. There is no denying that politics are present in comics, but the real question is, do politics belong in comics? Mainstream comics sole purpose is to make money, and companies will do write about anything if they think it will sell more comics. In this instance the comic book companies are using politics to gain interest and sell their product. Without the presence of politics in comics many story lines would not have been as strong, and many characters would not have been created. Atomic Warfare and the Regan administration both were heavily displayed in comics and both had a significant effect on comic books. When President Harry Truman ordered for the bombing of both Hiroshima and Nagasaki and revealed to the world the power behind atomic warfare, soon followed an onslaught of controversy whether this technology belonged in war. The world had never seen such power and soon the world began to debate this topic. Comic books soon began to publish stories, mainly involving superhero’s, with atomic related stories. As the years progressed and the U.S. entered into the Cold War with...

...Da Na Na Na Na Na Na... BATMAN! December 8th, 2010 THE DARK KNIGHT: 180 DEGREE TRUCK FLIP The seventh highest-grossing film of all time was released in 2008 in which Christopher Nolen directed a masterpiece which was nominated for eight academy awards. In the city of Gotham, the Joker is the most prominent antagonist which must be stopped by Batman in the most recently released movie about the superhero, The Dark Knight. This movie was a sequel to Batman Begins which was released in 2005. This research paper applies a broad range of physics topics to a single scene; namely the different forces in effect in this scene, action and reaction and their effects in collisions, acceleration and its role in assessing the overall plausibility of the scene, as well as different forms of energy illustrated within the scene such as kinetic and potential energy. The particular scene that will be used in order to convey all of the above ideas is just over half way into the movie (1 hour and 18 minutes in). Filmed in downtown Chicago, Batman latches a cable onto the front of a semi truck being driven by the Joker. Batman then rides his bike swerving through numerous light posts. When the cable inevitably runs out and is knotted through numerous light posts as well as other things, the truck has nowhere to go which then causes the cab end of the truck to stop, while the trailer of the truck flips up and over the cab. This scene can be found by searching “Batman truck flip” on Youtube...

...or lashing out towards others playing the game with them or towards the game itself. Dr. Jordan Grafman at the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke conducted a study which showed adolescent boys that were exposed to violent games over a long period of time tended to show aggressive behavior, desensitization, and loss of empathy. Twenty-two boys were chosen to view short clips that show different range of violent from low, mild, and moderate. The ones who were expose to more violent movies, videos, or television shows were the one who were had less empathy. Dr. Grafman concluded that those who were more desensitization were the most likely to have violent behavior and less empathy. There was another study done from 130 research reports on more than 130,000 subjects worldwide which was done by Craig Anderson a professor of psychology at Iowa State University and the director of Iowa State's Center for the Study of Violence. When the study was published Anderson stated (2010) that such exposure also increases aggressive thinking and aggressive affect, and decreases pro-social behavior. These are not huge effects--not on the order of joining a gang vs. not joining a gang. But these effects are also not trivial in size. It is one risk...

...would give as feedback is that the author should have gone into more detail with the paper. The introduction paragraph is ok, but it should have stated what points he wanted to go into detail with and then stated facts off those points. I felt as though the paper was all over the place. It should have more knowledge about the film The Dark Knight. By what the author has written it does not make me want to go see the film anymore than I did before I read paper. The author talks about The dark Knight in his introduction paper but the facts after that really do not match up to what I thought the rest of the paper was going to be about. Once he stated the facts he should have went into a lot more detail on what he felt about the film and why us as reader’s should go see this film. The author spoke about the film be a contender to earn an academy award nomination. I would have liked to hear more on how the film became a contender. What were the focal points of the movie that were great? Why, was the film then not picked as a nominee? The author also should have underlined the title of the movie. It would have helped the title stand out. There were some quotation marks missing from the Wikipedia. Also the conclusion of the paper did go back and restate what the introduction said in the beginning. The conclusion was very bland and not all to the point. It just says that you hope you like the paper?? It should have referenced the movie The Dark Knight in some shape or form. It should...

...Introduction The human body has been designed a mechanism to deal with pain and damage. The human immune system deals with all kinds of injures. The human immune system helps regulate bodily functions. When the body is exposed to a certain amount of pain the body goes into shock. This can be a life threatening situation or it can be the bodies’ response to the life threatening situation allowing a solders to keep fighting and things of that nature. If the damage the body may go into what is called a "comatose" condition. Where all nonessential function shuts down for repairs. This is due to the trauma that was experienced. Many of these actions are automated. This is because God has a system in the body to regulate the body. With that in mind PTSD is put into two different categories. They would be direct exposure and indirect exposure to an event. Direct events would be first hand experiences but the person. A point in time that the person felt significant risk of life and limb. An indirect traumatic event would be if an individual would witness a traumatic event. The mind has the same kind of defense mechanism. This is used to cope with severe mental trauma or mental stress. When a person goes through extremely powerful mental trauma that the mind cannot deal with the pain many things happen. One of those things is PTSD or post-Traumatic Stress Disorder. This report will look at this disorder from a biblical point of view using the lives of many people. Dreams The...
