A MOVIE THAT INSPIRES YOU...

After watching the final Star Wars The Force Awakens trailer, think about a movie that has inspired you. What is one movie that moved you emotionally and inspired you? Why was it so inspiring? What are 2 aspects of the film that moved you? How do you think the filmmakers accomplished this?

   Christopher Nolan's The Dark Knight is a film I can watch over and over again and never get tired of it. It is the one film that inspired me to become the film junkie that I am. It was the perfect reincarnation of the caped crusader also known as the Batman. The acting by Heath Ledger as The Joker was perfect and one of the best to this date. It definitely changed the way people saw Batman and superheroes in general. Also, the tone the film provided was a tone many films try to recreate but sometimes fail. Surprisingly, they used miniatures for the scene where the batmobile crashes with the garbage truck. They mastered the practical and digital effects blend. This is something that made the film as great as it was.
