Dark Knight, The: Remixed by Jorge

April 23, 2009

I finally downloaded the latest DVD version of this and I have to say, speaking not only as a Batman fan but as a movie fan. This is by far the greatest fan-edit I’ve ever seen. Yeah, this took the title of Pulp Fiction: Vince and Butch away for me. I loved it, loved it, loved it. Part of that love, other than the perfect reconstruction of the movie itself, is the DVD. It feels as if you’re watching an actual DVD and not something that was edited by someone out there. (I absolutely cannot wait to see Italian Stallion, Jorge!). Quite simply, this movie is a 10/10 and has earned a spot next to my Batman collection of DVDs rather than my fan-edit collection. It’s that damn good. Congrats, Jorge. This was quite the accomplishment.

The Dark Knight: Remixed is the definitive FanEdit. If there was ever one you needed to see, this one is it.

There’s a lot of hype surrounding this release. Is it worth all the raves?

Let me just put this out there…

Welcome to the next level of fanediting.

There are fanedits that add and delete scenes. Others that create Special Editions.

Then there is the work that Jorge has put into this effort, which is the next evolution of fanediting.

Fans of MEMENTO and THE DARK KNIGHT are in for a treat. The masterwork of Mr. Nolan gets a whole new upgrade and remix — and it’s unlike any fanedit or version of DARK KNIGHT you are to encounter. That’s what makes this release so unique and exciting…it could only come from the mind of Jorge, who had not only the brilliant idea to pull it off, but the skills and patience to really make it shine.

Backwards? Really?

You bet. And it’s a facinating way to re-watch a film you are familiar with. The Black and White scenes are beautiful…with plenty of red spilling over. The concept really brings out new drama and elements. Sure some scenes and lines are missing…it is a remix afterall…but I think when you get through the ending credits (also fantastic) you will understand why Jorge made the choices he did. The addition of scenes from BATMAN BEGINS also brings a wonderful layer to the events in DARK KNIGHT.

If you’ve seen DARK KNIGHT a few times and want something fresh for your next viewing…this is the one.

If you’ve never seen a fanedit and are curious what the fuss is all about…you will find answers here.

If you’ve seen a fair share of fanedits and are looking for something fresh, exciting and new…look no further.

This one certainly sets a new bar for creativity.

Well played Jorge.
