Aaron Eckhart, known for his role as Harvey Dent in “The Dark Knight,” expresses enduring appreciation for fans’ enthusiasm about the film. He attributes its enduring appeal to its comprehensive quality, including a strong script, stellar performances, and exceptional direction. Eckhart commends Christopher Nolan for flawlessly translating the screenplay’s elements into a cinematic masterpiece, fulfilling his (Eckhart’s) vision.
The film narrated the transformation of Eckhart’s character from a righteous district attorney to the scarred supervillain, Two-Face. However, in line with other characters in Nolan’s films, it served as a singular adventure before the villain’s departure.
Aaron Eckhart: “That movie’s extraordinary and special, not just on screen, but also in the script. A man delivered the script to my house, and I read it for two hours. It felt like a captivating novel. I wondered how so many main characters could be integrated into a movie script and made to work. But Chris Nolan executed it seamlessly.
Gotham City, as depicted in the movie, feels authentic. And Heath Ledger’s performance was exceptional. The story explores themes of oppression, cowardly politicians, and corrupt institutions. It resonated deeply and continues to be relevant beyond entertainment.”
