Film & Theology
The Dark Knight
Cinema is a modern day pulpit; people flock to their local multiplexes, group together, and find themselves moved by a worldview revealed in story form, allowing themselves to be emotionally led by directors and screenwriters who influence how we feel, think, and even act. Film and Theology features monthly film viewings at the MHC | Lake City Campus, followed by an expository exploration of narrative themes and spiritual parallels.
“Why So Serious?”
The Joker, dripping with greasy clown paint and played with a disturbing vigor by the late Heath Ledger, asks this question with dark sarcasm as he accuses an entire city of being moral hypocrites. Ledger’s performance highlights one of the best movies of 2008.
The question is, does this accuser stand correct in his assessment of humanity, or do the people scrambling to stop him in the name of justice, order, control, or power amidst the rest of the film satisfy the viewer in proving him wrong?
Maybe we’ll see why the Joker finds it all so funny…
