The Dark Night

What is the nature and importance of truth in the film? To me, truth is one of the most important things in the film because of all the secrecy and deception. Almost all of the characters have something to hide. Bruce Wayne has obviously has one of the biggest lies as he is Batman. This is viewed when he sacrifices his Lamborghini for Reese who was threatened by the Joker. When Bruce was told he was brave for doing so, he played it off like it was an accident just like any other billionaire would try to say. Another character with something to hide is Harvey Dent. He makes his own luck by using a one sided coin which is okay until he uses that on people he is threatening. Heads, they die, and tails, they live. Obviously he can only get heads which is just mean. When Rachel is killed and Harvey looks for revenge, the coin has a burnt side which makes it fair. Even still, he kills some people and lets others go.
