"The Dark Knight" directed by Christopher Nolan; "A Dark Knight" composed by Hans Zimmer

   
This is a musical score used in the film "The Dark Knight" towards the end of the film, when Batman decided to sacrifice his alter ego's reputation to save the city's faith in Harvey Dent.
      This musical piece overall gave me a sympathetic feeling. When this score was used, Batman told Commissioner Gordon to bring in the police and blame all of Harvey Dent's crimes on him, so the city wouldn't lose hope. Listening to this music made me think of all the lives Batman saved, all the hopes he salvaged, yet no one knows who he is. Now he deliberately makes the city hate him and hunt him down to keep Dent's reputation, and the undermine the Joker's plan in creating chaos in Gotham. At the same time I also admire his decision. He knows that people in Gotham will turn against the vigilante ego he created, but alleviate the people's fear, and keeping their faith in the city's leader is paramount. He is willing to throw away the reputation he's worked for to rectify Dent's crimes.
      This music score did a very good job in setting the mood. All of Batman's actions and decisions, through this music I can feel all of the emotions as if I'm Batman, I can sympathize with his situation.
