Charisma as Natural as Gravity
I remember reading this a while back, very shortly after Heath Ledger died, before I’d become a huge Nolan fan. It’s a Newsweek article that Christopher Nolan wrote in memory of Heath, and it’s so beautiful that it brings tears to my eyes. I’m really glad I stumbled on it just now, and I just had to share it.
Cinematographer of The Dark Knight speaks about The Dark Knight Rises
After discussing Inception and the disappointment with some of its Oscar nominations, or lack of rather, the hosts praise Chris and Wally’s use of practical effects and stunts in their action sequences. They then ask Wally how Nolan can top The Dark Knight? “I asked the same question,” Wally responded. “I read the script 2 weeks ago, and he’s done it. Plain and simple — he’s done it. It’s a phenomenal script. He’s still in the process of cutting it back because it’s a very long script right now, but it’s really phenomenal. And he actually had me go back and wanted me to watch, in IMAX, Batman Begins and The Dark Knight again. When I watched those I had read the script for The Dark Knight Rises and was like, ‘dude, it is a perfect trilogy.’ I think that was his intent, to work off those two pictures — and they are very different pictures. And it’s funny, we all had different opinions about which picture we like better.”

THE DARK KNIGHT (Nolan 2008)
You thought we could be decent men in an indecent time. But you were wrong. The world is cruel, and the only morality in a cruel world is chance. Unbiased. Unprejudiced. Fair.
Because sometimes the truth isn’t good enough. Sometimes people deserve more. They deserve to have their faith rewarded.
