Go on location in Chicago to learn what what low-angle shots signify in The Dark Knight — and in Hollywood movies in general.
In The Dark Knight, Heath Ledger's Joker encourages a bedridden Harvey Dent (Aaron Eckhart) to "introduce a little anarchy" into the established order.
Themes of anarchy and power are reiterated throughout The Dark Knight in Ledger's performance, yes. But we also see both in the film's low-angle shots.
