In
the wonderful film the Dark Knight I find several questions about the characters,
plot, and the overall moral questioning the is underlined by this film. I find
the most compelling question I have wondered was the question of who much of
what the Joker says can be trusted? I think that almost all of what he says can
be taken seriously. An example of this can be found in the hospital scene. I
think that everything the Joker is saying has a lot of logic behind what he is
saying making it very persuasive. But the main point about this scene is how
much logic is displayed. I think the Joker is telling too much about himself
and his "plans" for it to be false. I think the scene from Pirates of the Caribbean the Curse of the Black Pearl explains the use of logic quite well. Where Jack
is talking to the two army men guarding the ship during Commodore Norington's ceremony.
Jack explains he only tells the guards his true plans because the guards are
expecting Jack to lie. I think the same is true for the Joker.
Good reference to another movie. Your logic seems pretty good as well but could use just a little bit more reference back to The Dark Knight. The Joker doesn't tell Harvey all of his plans, such as that he's using Harvey to prove that anyone can turn evil.
ReplyDeleteA little light editing will improve this post, such as changing "who much of what the Joker says " to "how much."
Not all of them but Jack doesn't either. The premise of this reference was to show a clear similarity to other characters. Making the Joker a character more people can relate to. Less making him seem so odd and evil.
