A great read, he nails it.

Good article, great movie! The more I think about it - and you do think about it after you’ve seen it - the more I realize that it really deserves the word “great.”.

Incredibly literary, too...lots of references to Dickens and to western cultural figures. But you don’t have to know any of them to have the movie make sense and have an impact, because it’s really a work of its own.

Klavan DOES nail it. He is a great writer. I discovered him when I attended a Tea Party in Santa Barbara in 2009 and have now read all of his books, including a trilogy he wrote for young people called The Homelander Series. Klavan made his name as a screenwriter but seems to get less attention from Hollywood and The NY Times Book Review since he came out of the Conservative Closet post 9/11. That makes it even more important for me to buy his books.

Wow just Wow! Every now and then Truth just jumps out and smacks the public in the face. Great article.

But the heart of the film is not money. It's people and what they choose to make of the injustices of their lives. Catwoman is the linchpin of that theme. She is the link between those like the heroic capitalist Wayne, who allow hardship to temper their souls, and those like Bane, who cling to their hurts and demand to be repaid in societal destruction. Catwoman begins as a thief making revolutionary proclamations: "There's a storm coming." She ends up confronting the true nature of that storm and a choice between that and freedom's better way.

Just saw it today.

It absolutely blew me away. Great performances all around.
