The Dark Knight Rises-cronica

The Dark Knight Rises/TDKR/Cavalerul negru-legenda renaste

"You either die a hero, or you live long enough to see yourself become the villain."

si "why do we fall ???"

Batman Begins - Fear, The Dark Knight - Chaos, and The Dark Knight Rises - Pain. Throughout the film, both Bruce and Bane are in constant, agonizing pain, both of the body and the soul.
Deci filmul este despre durere, asa cum primul a fost despre frica si al doilea despre haos.

O inchidere satisfacatoare a trilogiei, cu o intoarcerea la povestea din primul, cu Ra’S Al Ghoul si Liga umbrelor, si in stilul Nolan realist, fara elemente supranaturale sau sf…Prologul genial, demn de orice action serios (rapel Bond si Cliffhanger).Durata epica, de 2 ore si 44, 164 de minute…


Muzica lui Hans Zimmer (solo, fara James Newton Howard, ca in anterioarele filme), bombastica, amenintatoate, majestoasa, cu o tema noua pentru Bane si inchisoarea sufletelor (hopefully un Oscar, AMPAS ?)
CAST:
Bane exceptional, larger than life , interpretat de Tom Hardy in Bronson mode, cu voce de speechuri de Winston Churchill meets The Shadow (knows:), cu un pansant pentru relatia dintre Renard-Robert Carlyle si Elekrra King-Sophie Marceau din Bond, The World is Not Enough (1999).

Anne Hathaway, o Selina Kyle satisfacatoare, o Catwoman realista, mai ales ingenioase urechiusele :), nice suit, girl !
Actori de roluri secundare bine alesi , Ben Mendhelson, Tom Conti, Burn Gorman -o fata de young Willem Dafoe sau old gangster film, George Raft/Muni, cameo William Devane ca presdintele USA. Matthew Modine nu m-a prea impresionat si cred ca rolul lui putea fi scurtat/taiat
New entry: Joseph Gordon Lewitt
Ideea in care Nolan isi recicleaza si refoloseste actorii (Michael Caine, Cillian Murphy-cameo, Bale, Hardy, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Marillon Cotillard)

trivia IMAX (de vazut preferabil, daca sunteti in Bucuresti !!!)
Cinematographer Wally Pfister has expressed interest in shooting the entirety of the film in the IMAX format, as both Pfister and Christopher Nolan have expressed distaste for shooting the film in 3-D. Ultimately, the film would feature approximately 50 minutes of IMAX footage, while the rest was shot in a combination of 35mm and 70mm, as IMAX cameras proved to be too noisy for shooting the films dialogue scenes.

4 out of 5/metacritic 78 (in momentul de fata locul 10 pe imdb cu scor 9.1 dar va scadea)

o cronica pozitiva despre cote-ul social la film freak central:
The Dark Knight Rises is hardly an action movie at all, but a three-hour social satire that takes on the Occupy Movement, the crimes of the 1%, the crimes of the 99%, and, in no particular order, capitalism, socialism, anarchy, and the desire for principled individuals to wipe their personal slate clean and start over fresh somewhere new.

Ceilalti membri de la Dire Straits s-au reunit si au pornit in turneu. Si vin la Peninsula la Tg. Mures pe 23 august (data pe care noi o sarba-u-toream in alte moduri pina in 1989).
The Straits sunt: Phil Palmer, Alan Clark-claviaturi, Chris White-saxofon (trei membri originali ai trupei), plus Terence Reis-chitara, Steve Ferrone-fostul toboşar de la Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers, Mick Feat-bass, si Jamie Squire-pian.

Showul de debut (dupa 20 de ani de puaza), a avut loc la at Royal Albert Hall in May 2011, si apoi a urmat un turneu UK in octombrie.
