Which Movies really Stand Out Amongst All the Others.
Many people were disappointed that The Dark Knight had not received a nomination for Best Picture for the 81st Annual Academy Awards. When the full nominations were announced on Thursday, it only took a small amount of time before the fans began their backlash. It would seem that since last summer, The Dark Knight is still demanding enormous attention.
Earlier this month, The Dark Knight has already received awards and nominations from The Grammys, The Golden Globes and The Screen Actors Guild. But why was it passed over for a nomination of an Oscar? With only five places for a Best Picture nomination, the movie may have only just been passed over. It has received nominations from the Producers, Writers and Cinematographers Guild earlier in the month.
To top all this off, Chris Nolan even got passed over in the Best Director category. Even if Heath Ledger receives an Best Supporting Actor award, There is no way The Dark Knight will be taking home a Best Picture or a Best Director trophy come February 22nd. In the fur lore of all this hype, many people are questioning whether The Dark Knight deserves all the attention it has been receiving since long before it?s premiere last summer.
Many people have described this movie as the best movie that they have ever seen in their lives and that it truly deserves more recognition by the Academy. Reaction to the movie has reached a level that no other movie has ever seen before.
Throughout this awards campaign, The Dark Knight has seen tremendous box office receipts. When the movie was first released the media and public reaction was massive. The greatest movie of all time was a common conception. The greatest comic book movie of all time was another. Will every super hero/action movie be measured against this movie from now on? Even talk over the internet has managed to elevate it to cult status that it perhaps doesn?t deserve.
The movie is not just an entertaining, albeit dark, story presented with high production value and as much gritty realism as a comic-book movie can sustain. It is also part of the ongoing cultural production and reproduction of the structural imperatives of the capitalist system. A system that upon monopolizing finance capital, subjecting the power of the state to capital, the creation of criminal classes out of any minority group, the reproduction of internal racial inequality on an international level, and the legitimation of violence in keeping the lower classes divided, subservient, and 'irrational.'
Terrorism is a central theme in The Dark Knight, and how the general public view these insane terrorist and the reaction from the authorities in dealing with them. In short, it shows us how capitalist dominance will prevail.
Talk has now turned to the next Batman movie, and it?s expectations after the phenomena of The Dark Knight. This movie has taken $997.7 in the Worldwide box office so far, and this is not taking into consideration merchandise and DVD sales. The next in the franchise has a lot to live up to.
The Dark Knight?s executive producer has spoken publicly about the very real possibility of a sequel, and has hinted at a release date in 2011. - 2361
