The Dark Knight Rises
The Dark
Knight Rises is a super hero film that was released in 2012 and was directed by
Christopher Nolan. The film has the super hero Batman in and the film was the
third of its trilogy produced by Christopher Nolan. The film includes stars
such as Christian Bale, Morgan Freeman, Tom Hardy, Anne Hathaway, Michael Caine
and Gary Oldman. The film has grossed over £1 billion within the box office and
is still growing up to this date.
The movie starts off with a very dramatic start. 3 people who seem to be captured by the CIA who are looking for a person named ‘Bane’. Whilst a man is being threatened one of the hostages speaks. The Agent takes the bag of his head to reveal a bald man with a mask. This is Bane. A Overhead plane suddenly flies over and attacks the plane which bane is within. Bane starts to fight the CIA in hand to hand combat and is rescued by the overhead place. This Action packed intro sets the mood for the film perfectly and shows how the film will be of action nature.
The props used for the film also set its action genre. The Aeroplanes and Guns make it obvious that some sort of fight is going to happen and the props show that the scene is fit for an action movie. In comparison to the outfits they are very similar. Banes mask looks very sinister and deadly which makes his character very fit for an action movie, Even an horror movie.
The Fights between Bane & Batman ultimately show the movies action nature as there is more than one fight. It is packed with scenes of Batman & Bane fighting and Bane appears to be more physically stronger. The fight scenes between the two always have quick changing camera angles which makes the scenes flow quicker and with a much faster-pace. The speeds in which the angles change create the action-packed feel to the movie.
In Conclusion The Dark Knight Rises is seen widely as an action genre film and its easy to see why, The costumes and army atmosphere give the movie an action look straight away and the fight scenes in joint with the fast paced camera angles make the movie appear very fast and action packed. This is how the audience can see the film as an Action movie.
