Mario Moreno created his trademark character in the thirties. However Cantinflas appeared as a leading role for the first time in 1940 with "Ahi está el Detalle". Near 3/4 Century later, "Ahi está el Detalle" stands proudly as the most representative Cantinflas movie. Yes, most of the ingenious monologues are very difficult to translate, because they are tricky word combinations (for example: try to translate a David Letterman's joke to another language, or more extremely, to another region inside the US, it's absolutely New Yorker!!!!!). However, "Ahí está el Detalle" is a true monument of Comedy, and Cantinflas proudly stands beside Charlot in the Olympus of the great humorists.

I read both good and bad reviews of TDKR. Personally I'm with the good guys. Also I consider unfair the comparison between TDK with TDKR. I think the last is the logical consequence of the previous. BB TDK and TDKR becomes a solid trilogy, connected with much care. I remember that TDK was a kind of never-ending spiral of unfortunate events, and one can easily feel that it's impossible to become the things worse than this. TDKR shown to me how wrong I was, during the first 2/3 of the movie, almost 120 consecutive minutes of increasing depress and darkness (one can easily remember another masterpiece, in spite of it's different genre: Polansky's The Pianist, and the low-motion-destruction of the way of life of the polish Jews.). Yes, there's one disturbing gap in the movie: the unrealistic last breath of Miranda Tate (unusual in a great actress like Marion Cotillard), but it's not enough to condemn this masterpiece as I read in many reviews. The great message of Nolan's trilogy is: Batman was not alone. Bruce Wayne never could become Batman without the support of Gordon, Fox and Alfred. It's a beautiful statement of friendship and loyalty. Congratulations Christopher. Making another Batman move became a very difficult challenge for the next generations of directors.
