The purpose of argumentation is to support ideas presented in sequence to justify a particular stand or viewpoint that a writer is taking. The writer's purpose is to take a position on some issue and justify it by presenting sound reasoning, discussion, and argument that thoroughly convince the reader. Some examples of argumentative texts are: critical reviews, editorials, job evaluations, job application letters, letters of recommendarion, letters to the editor, and resumes.
On the other hand, The Dark Knight is one of the most acclaimed movies of the last decade. For that, here I leave you a good argumentative text: a critical review of the movie.
NOLAN'S THE DARK KNIGHT IS A MASTERPIECE
If 2008 proved anything thus far, it's that there is hope for cinema. With dozens upon dozens of mind-numbing films being drumped into theaters, we have already seen a few glimmers of hope, even though I still haven't seen a film that blew me away... that is until last night. Warner Bros. Pictures' The Dark Knight is not only the best film I have seen this year, but quite possibly the best superhero movie ever made.
The Dark Knight is a complez film, following Batman (Christian Bale) and James Gordo (Gary Oldman) joining forces with Gotham's new District Attorney, Harvey Dent (Aaron Eckhart), to take on a psychotic bank robber know as The Joker (Heath Ledger), whilst other forces plot against them and Joker's crimes grow more and more deadly.
You can believe the hye. The Dark Knight could have quite simply been renamed to The Joker. Ignoring the fact that we lost Ledger earlier in 2008, he truly does deserve credit for bringing one of the most diverse, unique and well-developed characters to the big screen since Daniel Day Lewis in There Will Be Blood. Some will say it's over-the-top, while everyone else will see the true genius in his work. When Christopher Nolan and his brother Jonathan Nolan, reveal The Joker's motive early in the film, it's tough to take in, and tough to tae serious, but by the final frame of the film, the viewer should be sold without question. The deconstruction of The Joker is something of wonder, watching Ledger descend deeper into psychosis was more interesting that watching Lewis do it in There Will Be Blood. To say he will give the viewer goosebumps is an understatement.
The acting is only part of the reason The Dark Knight is so fabulous. Nolan has taken Batman to new heights. In the first fil, Gotham City feels very compact and claustrophobic, but the scope of the sequel is massive. Nolan's shot of locations are breathtaking as the remove of us from this small fantasy land and bring the viewer into a whole new world. It not only makes the film more believable, but also it makes Bruce Wayne as a character more believable. The only problem is that some of the movies was shot on IMAX technology, so the aspect ratio continues to change throughout the movies, which is insanely annoying. But it was worth it to see some shots in HD, which is remarkable and stunning.
The screenplay is also very well developed as it not only blends violence and humor to perfection, but mixes in some political reference and opinions without throwing them in your face. With Harvey Dent being the face of Gotham City, there are various scenes about being a man and doing the right thing for your city (or your country). In one sequence, Batman uses the city's mobile phones to emit sonar signals so he can watch everyone in the city. During that scene, Lucius Fox (Morgan Freeman) says to Wayne "If this machine exists in the Batcave, you can consider this my resignation", implying that quite possibly our "protectors" -or government- or taking away our rights in order to protect us.
If The Dark Knight gets anything less than an Oscar nomination it would be a great injustice to the world of cinema. Nolan has delivered an epic masterpiece that will literally take your breath away. If this film doesn't make your feel like a kid again, maybe there's no hope for you...
Now, I present you the trailer of the new Batman's adventure: The Dark Knight Rises.
