I think so, yes. In a way, I was totally astonished by The Dark Knight because, on the one hand, it’s a huge, mainstream movie. But it also astonished me at how dark it was, as though it was a premonition of something coming at us. I went to see the film, and ran into Christian Bale, which was the only reason I saw the film: I wanted to see how Christian was doing, because I so love that man, as an actor. I ran into Christian and (director) Christopher Nolan, and said to Nolan ‘Congratulations, this is the most significant film of the whole year.’ He thought I was kind of making it up, or joking. And I said ‘No, no, no! This is a film of real substance. It doesn’t matter if it’s mainstream or not.’ And it’s wonderful that he made the film the way he did.


Nolan must've had the shivers.

He has good taste in movies.

 

[Abraham]

I loved it too... wheres my thread?

 

[Tacit Ronin]

W...Wow...

 

[ultimatefan]

Fantastic, you almost never see those old school arty european directors praise maintream Hollywood movies, much less a summer blockbuster.

 

[Carmine Falcone]

Herzog is my favourite director, and he's even more awesome for loving the Dark Knight.

Herzog really should start working with Bale again. A match made in heaven. Much like Cage/Herzog. Although I would call that a match made in.....a lunatic asylum. Or something like that.

 

[Paste Pot Pete]

Herzog and Bale did make a great team. Great movie, and one of Bale's best performances ever.

The ending still touches a brother's heart.

 

[El Payaso]

Not amazed. TDK is a masterpiece. But glad that such a director as Herzog thought so and bothered to watch the movie.

Um, i've never heard of this Hezrog fellow.....so i'm assuming this is a good thing?

Very well known and awarded German director, screenwriter etc etc. So well, it's like a good thing even when if he had liked a movie I had disliked (or vice versa) I couldn't have given any less of a crap.

Are you not looking forward to Inception? You never once posted there.

 

[The Joker]

I can't wait for Inception. It'll be a contender for Nolan's best movie.

 

[El Payaso]

Are you not looking forward to Inception? You never once posted there.

I'll tell youl, I haven't heard one single thing about that movie except that Nolan's directing. I don't know what is it about, nothing. But after watching "The Prestige" I think it's most probably going to be another truly amazing movie. Yes, I should be looking forward to Inception. I'm watching it for sure nevertheless.

^^^they're keeping the details hush hush, although i do know it is about a guy who tries to control dreams or something.

 

[The Joker]

If the reviews I've been reading in the movie forum are any indication, Nolan has made another gem of a movie.

 

[El Payaso]

Where I live there's no indication that the movie is being released any time soon.
