Den liberale Batman

Den private tænketank og uddannelsesinstitution Mises Institute har det med at lave forholdsvis gode filmanmeldelser, med et ideologisk udgangspunkt. Denne gang er det kommet til Batman: The Dark Knight, som anmelderen er ganske glad for; i modsætning til f.eks. animationsfilmen WALL-E.

Konklusionen – for dem der ikke gider læse det hele:

The contrast between the peaceful cooperation that people are capable of when they are on their own, even under extreme circumstances, and the evil unleashed by misguided state management of society could not be more palpable.

This is the real message of Batman: The Dark Knight, which, I must say, is one of the most spectacular and profound cinematic explorations of the problem of evil I’ve ever seen. It is not suitable for young children, but I recommend it very highly, not only for its libertarian theoretical structure but also for its moral power.
