商品の説明


全世界が絶賛! 全米歴代興行収入新記録11冠達成!!
アカデミー賞最有力!ヒース・レジャー、史上最凶のジョーカーを怪演!

ゴッサム・シティーに、究極の悪が舞い降りた。
ジョーカー(ヒース・レジャー)と名乗り、犯罪こそが最高のジョークだと不敵に笑うその男は、今日も銀行強盗の一味に紛れ込み、彼らを皆殺しにして、大金を奪った。

この街を守るのは、バットマン(クリスチャン・ベール)。
彼はジム・ゴードン警部補(ゲイリー・オールドマン)と協力して、マフィアのマネー・ロンダリング銀行の摘発に成功する。
それでも、日に日に悪にまみれていく街に、一人の救世主が現れる。
新任の地方検事ハービー・デント(アーロン・エッカート)だ。正義感に溢れるデントはバットマンを支持し、徹底的な犯罪撲滅を誓う。

遂に始まった、ジョーカーが仕掛ける生き残りゲーム。
開幕の合図は、警視総監の暗殺だ。正体を明かさなければ市民を殺すとバットマンを脅迫し、デントと検事補レイチェル(マギー・ギレンホール)を次のターゲットに選ぶジョーカー。しかし、それは彼が用意した悪のフルコースの、ほんの始まりに過ぎなかった。

ストーリーも2時間は超えているが重厚感があり飽きさせず、音楽も映画にあっていて素晴らしかった。

バットマンが主役でありバットスーツやバットモービル・ポッドも非常にかっこいいが、ジョーカー役のヒース・レジャーの演技が素晴らしく惹き込まれ、完全にバットマンが負けている…（良い意味で）

非常に素晴らしい映画。

Le Steelbook illustrant le Joker est tout simplement incroyable à mon gout, la qualité est au rendez-vous.
Le film remasterisée en 4K est tout simplement un bonheur pour les yeux, je recommande fortement ce format pour ceux qui possède un téléviseur 4K possèdent le Dolby-Visions ou même ceux qui dispose simplement d'un téléviseur HDR.
Les cartes postales du film sont d'une netteté réellement appréciable, ainsi que la réplique de la carte du Joker.
je recommande ce produit au fan de la franchise qui sont respecté pour un prix tout a fait abordable pour ce que ce coffret propose.

5つ星のうち5.0 The Joker (Heath Ledger) pushes himself ever farther from the distant bounds of morality.
2008年12月9日にアメリカ合衆国でレビュー済み
Amazonで購入
Even before The Dark Knight opened in theaters, it had taken on a macabre mystique. Heath Ledger's untimely death and glimpses of his makeup and performance created part of a box office draw rarely equaled in motion picture history. But not even the trailers and TV ads could prepare audiences for Ledger's inspired and disturbing performance. The previous incarnation of the Joker, played by Jack Nicholson, was nothing but a violent, hyperactive clown. Nicholson overplayed the role and made the character conform to his larger-than-life persona. But Ledger nailed the real essence of the Joker and bore no resemblance to Nicholson's caricature. The Joker of The Dark Knight is not a simple murderer and bank robber. His goal is to inspire evil in others so that even the most law abiding citizen will be driven to commit acts of crime or murder.

At any opportunity, the Joker tries to drive crime fighters toward crime by sowing the seeds of terror and chaos. He allows himself to fall into a police trap so that he can spring a more diabolical plot. He arranges to have two ferries full of passengers forced into committing mass murder against one another. He dresses restrained civilians as criminals so police will be responsible for murdering innocents. To portray such a character, Ledger adopted mannerisms that at times seemed insect-like, similar to Jeff Goldblum's performance in The Fly. At other times, Ledger's performance invoked Malcolm McDowell in A Clockwork Orange. But the combination of nihilism and violent eruption that defined the Joker was achieved purely by Ledger's own artistry and for that he should be considered for a posthumous Academy Award. Despite Christian Bale getting top billing, Ledger played a more important, challenging role in the film. Wayne is well defined from Batman Begins and the Joker is firmly established in the prologue, a bank heist in which all the accomplices are shot and the Joker issues his tenet, which is a twist on Nietzsche: "What doesn't kill you makes you stranger."

But the central character in The Dark Knight is neither the Joker nor Batman. It's Harvey Dent. The film follows the major changes that transform him from the public attorney into DC comic book villain Two-Face. The bulk of the character development focuses on Dent's complicated descent from a dedicated, fearless political figure, passionate about defeating criminals using the rule of law. This white knight of Gotham lives by his tenet, "you either die a hero or you live long enough to see yourself become the villain." Dent is able to achieve popularity and make good on his promise to put violent mafia figures behind bars mainly because Batman is willing to do the dirty work and get no credit for it. As Batman's success in the streets and Dent's success in the courtroom push the mob organizations into an increasingly small corner, the Joker appeals to the mob bosses and rallies them against Batman. In the ensuing chaos, it becomes clear that Dent lacks ethical principles. When he loses his girlfriend, Rachel Dawes (Maggie Gyllenhaal), and damages half his face in one of the Joker's vicious schemes, Dent turns his back on the law altogether. With some words of inspiration from the Joker, Dent transforms himself into Two-Face. Dent had gone after criminals. But Two-Face preys upon cops, including Lt. Jim Gordon (Gary Oldman), using a two-headed coin similar to the one Nolan and Bale used in The Prestige. Instead of magic tricks, however, Two-Face uses the coin to determine the fate of his victims.

The significance of the coin and of Dent's prophetic quote about becoming a villain is to show how easy it is to succumb to chance and chaos in the absence of real principles. One of the themes of The Dark Knight is to evaluate how different characters respond to the pressures of leadership and of fighting evil. Nolan hits upon a truth seemingly missed by the entire press corps: leaders must be willing to sacrifice their popularity to do what's right. This core message of The Dark Knight is demonstrated in a subplot about telecommunications surveillance taken right from the front pages of newspapers during the US debate about the Homeland Security Act of 2007. Bruce Wayne uses government contractors to build an advanced telecom technology that taps into ordinary cellphones to triangulate and illuminate the location of anyone in Gotham. The technology is the only way to locate and catch the Joker. But when Wayne Enterprises' most trusted official, Lucius Fox (Morgan Freeman), finds out what Wayne is up to, he says that no man should have that much power and tenders his resignation.

Faced with an adversary who is threatening countless lives and the future of Gotham, Wayne understands the consequences if he doesn't do what's necessary to end the Joker's campaign of terror. Dent proves to be an unprincipled politician with a rotten core and no one but Wayne/Batman is willing to sacrifice popularity to win the fight against evil. Ultimately, Batman decides he must take the blame for the actions of Two-Face in order to defeat the Joker and restore faith to the people of Gotham. The decision has major consequences. Gordon ultimately describes Batman as, "not a hero. He's a silent guardian, a watchful protector...a dark knight." Public perception is always secondary to Batman. His principles guide him to defeat evil and save lives, but the result is his loss of popularity and respect. Some things are more important than public perception.Approximating the viewing experience in IMAX theaters, the Blu-ray version of The Dark Knight shifts between 1.78:1 and 2.4:1 sequences, which is a tremendous asset in preserving the vision of the filmmaker and in attempting to get an IMAX-like experience in viewers' home theaters. The prologue, as well as other 1.78:1 sequences, appear with lifelike detail and good depth. Some have complained about the subtle use of edge enhancement as detracting from the overall picture quality, but I believe what they are seeing is an ever-so-slight glow effect that makes the bright areas of some scenes appear heightened. Deducting points for this type of brightness would be silly. Meanwhile, the black level is remarkable as it conveys all gradations of grey and retains very good definition. Since so much of the film has dark, dimly lit scenes, the inky blacks contribute greatly to the depth and weight of the picture.

So how does the resolution of the 2.4:1 content compare to the 1.78:1 picture quality? Believe it or not, the detail remains nearly consistent in both aspect ratios--there's just more presence in the scenes shot using the IMAX cameras. Non-IMAX sequences give up surprisingly little in definition. Perhaps the most extraordinary scene to view the differences is when Batman raids the high rise building in Hong Kong to extract Lau (Chin Han). In the full IMAX resolution, with much of the screen enveloped in deep black, Batman is shown perched above the city. He then descends through the air, breaking through the window nearby the desk where Lau is working and quickly dispatches Lau's body guards. Finally, as he holds Lau near the broken windows, both men are whisked out of the building by a floating device and a passing aircraft. The complicated, busy action coupled with poor lighting would be problematic if not for the detail delivered both by the 1.78:1 and 2.4:1 shots that make up the scene. While the IMAX picture is preferable because of a greater sense of depth and resolution, the 2.4:1 content shares its small, gentle grain and otherwise clean, highly detailed presentation. Some element of the grain has a digital sheen to it, but I cannot justify deducting a point or half-point for that. In keeping with the dark visuals, the sound throughout The Dark Knight is weighted toward the lower registers with heavy LFE content. While the audio across the dynamic range is delivered in good detail, with plenty of resolution, the Dolby TrueHD content is clearly bass-heavy. It doesn't have quite the 3D impact one might expect in an action movie, with very little content assigned assigned to the rear channels. But it is preferable to err on the conservative side than to have an overly aggressive surround soundstage where it is really not warranted. On the other hand, some multichannel audiophiles may nitpick that the surrounds are underutilized. The anchoring across the center channel delivers all the dialog, while the front left and right speakers provide the bulk of the score. The music by Hans Zimmer and James Newton Howard is less thematic and more of a mood amplifier to make the story more hard-hitting. Aside from the sound effects and subwoofer content, the soundtrack mostly disappears in the action and visuals. Looking back on it, that is a unique accomplishment for an action film, to be such a visual work of art that one hardly notices the score as sound. While all detail of the dialog and music is clearly articulated across the front channels, it often sounds diminutive in comparison to deeper content.

Listen to the scene where Batman, Lt. Gordon and Dent have a rooftop meeting together. Gordon's and Dent's voices are perfectly reproduced, crisp and detailed, yet they sound slightly anemic compared to Batman's deeper, more open voice. While the audio engineering is actually very good, the bass emphasis can overshadow the more relaxed dialog, especially Gordon's voice. This is a minor complaint, as all dialog is plainly audible and every word and breath expertly recorded. And of course, the advantage of having a pronounced LFE channel is on display throughout The Dark Knight. Listen to the scene where the 18 wheeler flips over its horizontal axis--an impressive bit of stuntwork--creating a cacaphony of deep bass rumble, crashing steel and other sound effects. Explosions, breaking glass, gunshots and other effects are impressively engineered. The amazing feature of the Dolby TrueHD track is that nothing gets lost in the mix, regardless of the minimal use of surrounds.Warner's BD is a must-have for your collection. The film is truly unique and riveting, and Warner did a great job integrating the IMAX footage for 1080p. Highest recommendations.

5つ星のうち5.0 The Joker is the reason you MUST watch this film
2015年11月4日にアメリカ合衆国でレビュー済み
Amazonで購入
Audiences of all kinds flock to theaters on the opening day of super hero movies. These movies have the potential to appeal to both younger and older audience members, each gender, and families. Usually, the hero is what draws the crowds. The general public loves an inherently good and well- developed super hero who triumphs over evil. Of course, some over budget chase scenes never hurt either. However, when it comes to Christopher Nolan’s The Dark Knight, it is the villain that truly makes the movie. The Joker, who was developed in a way he had never been before this movie, drives the plot and the central meaning of the movie by acting as a foil to the hero, Batman.
Heath Ledger’s portrayal of The Joker was incredibly different than anything ever done before. In the 1960 Batman television series, Cesar Romero was the actor behind The Joker. His character was dubbed, “The Crown Prince of Crime”. This Joker was seen as a psychotic, yet harmless killer. At this time, The Joker was thought of as amusing. The audience would have been able to better sympathize with him because he just could not seem to be the villain he wanted to be, no matter how hard he tried. In the 1989 Batman movie, Jack Nicholson was The Joker. At this time, the character began to become a little bit darker. His appearance was less clown like and was said to be a result of a chemical accident. Nicholson was still able to stay true to the comic portrayal of The Joker, which was more of a goofy prankster while starting to exploit the more short-tempered and murderous side of the villain. In contrast, Mark Hammil’s portrayal of the Joker in 1990 was incredibly cold and authoritative.
In 2008, Heath Ledger created a Joker that had never been seen before. The Dark Knight’s antagonist was completely psychotic, with absolutely no trace of human reasoning or logic. The character was demonic and frightening. The humorous or jokester aspects of the character were not implemented for any sort of comedic enjoyment, but rather to highlight the exceedingly deranged mind of someone who could never be human. The Joker shows his disgustingly psychotic side many times throughout the film. In his introductory scene, the Joker crashes a mob meeting. We may think that The Joker would want to work with the mob since they are both considered “bad guys” however, the mob mocks the Joker for being a “freak” and The Joker proceeds to kill one of the members with a “disappearing pencil trick” that involves a pencil through the brain. Not only does this act show the audience that The Joker is on a whole other level of evil than the typical bank robber, it is also has a symbolic meaning. The pencil represents education and order, which the Joker uses to kill the man by stabbing it into the most logical part of the human body, the brain. By doing this, the Joker is showing the audience that he believes order and logical thought will never overcome chaos.
The Joker is not one to take part in organized crime because he personifies anything but organization. The Joker embodies chaos and disorder. We see this in the scene where The Joker blows up the hospital. He has no reason to blow up that building other than the fact that it contains innocent individuals, and causing a havoc on that specific place will upset the general public. He has no internal motivation to destroy the hospital specifically because he does not possess any form of logical thought. When the camera pans back to show The Joker walking away from the burning hospital in a nurse uniform, it allows us to see that the Joker shows absolutely no remorse when blowing up the building. The camera angle allows us to see the accomplished look in his face and the nurse’s costume adds to the sardonic nature of The Joker. While a nurse can be seen as a figure of health and security, the Joker exemplifies contrasting qualities such as traumatization and danger.
The Joker’s characteristics of evil, chaos, and disorder allow him to be a foil to Christian Bales’s character, Batman. Batman embodies a high moral standard and the goodness of people while The Joker is the exact opposite. Batman explains that his one rule is that he will never kill anyone. The Joker explains to him, while dangling from a building in one of the concluding scenes, that he would never kill Batman either. The Joker’s purpose was not to kill Batman, like a typical villain, but rather to de-mask, humanize, and criminalize him, making this movie much more dark, yet incredibly more interesting and unpredictable than others of its kind. The Joker acknowledges that if he were to kill Batman, he would no longer have a purpose. This means that the two characters are destined to fight forever, which drives the conflict of the plot. As The Joker says, “This is what happens when an unstoppable force meets an immovable object.”
The Joker is also able to be a juxtaposition to Batman through appearance. Batman is a very large and muscular man whereas The Joker has a very skinny and long frame. While Batman dresses in dark clothing, and prefers to stay in the shadows (like a bat), the Joker dawns bright clothing and makeup that draws attention to his face and scars. While Batman may try to hide his past, The Joker embraces it, telling many different stories of the origins of his scars throughout the movie in order to intimidate people before he harms them. The Joker’s high voice and screeching cackle also contrasts with Batman’s incredibly deep and mysterious voice. Batman is a man of very little words and only speaks when absolutely necessary, while The Joker loves to speak just to be heard. Even when the audience cannot visibly see the Joker in the scene, we can usually hear him or his laugh. In order to know that Batman is in the scene, the audience has to see him first. The Joker enjoys calling attention to himself through his clothing and voice. He does this in order to make a statement. The Joker is trying to force people to see evil as an inevitable and omnipresent human quality which is why he allows himself to be so noticeable through clothing and television advertisements. Batman acts as a more humble juxtaposition who does not want to be seen. The Joker’s laugh also acts as an omnipresent presence which allows that theme of evil to be obvious throughout the entire movie.
The overall message of the film is that all humans have the potential to be good in nature and that good will always triumph evil, although the battle is constant. These ideas are constantly challenged by The Joker which drives the plot. The Joker is constantly putting people in places where they have to make impossible ethical decisions in the hopes that they will inevitably make a wrong decision that showcases the evil nature of humanity and make an example of them to the rest of the world. He does this multiple times throughout the film, but his efforts culminate at the finale of the movie when he attempts to pull off his largest scheme. When he forces the two different groups of people onto two different boats, one group of innocent civilians, and the other a group of convicts, to either kill the other ship or die, he expects the evil and selfish nature of humanity to take control of their decisions and blow up the other ship. The ships act as an isolated community, away from the city. The Joker uses the ships as a motivation for the people to leave their human nature behind, in the city, and make and evil decision. Although there is some heated debate on the ships as to whether or not they should push the button that destroys the other ship, both groups decided not to do it. They would rather die themselves than be responsible for killing others. This shows that good overcomes evil and the people on the ship had an inherently good nature. Batman explains this to the joker in one of the final scenes which provides a nice conclusion to the over two hour long movie.
There was much competition for the deranged role of “the Joker” in the 2008 Blockbuster, The Dark Knight. However, director, Christopher Nolan, had always had Heath Ledger in mind for the role. It was Ledger’s ability to completely embrace the Joker’s psychotic qualities that contrasted so well with his nemesis, Batman, that drove the plot and highlighted the central meaning of the movie. Without the Joker, there would be no reason for the citizens of Gotham to question their good nature. Thanks to one of the most malicious and immoral villains of all time, the world can rest assured that good will always conquer evil.
