The Dark knight

Mon, 04 Aug 2008 00:39 EDT

This is definitely a movie worth seeing. If the object of the filmmakers is to release the movie and reinvent Batman, they've succeeded. This sequel rivals Godfather II and Empire Strikes Back in surpassing the greatness of their predecessors.

A 'non-superhero' movie with philosophy, politics, drama and loads of action, this movie has it all. Its not for the kids because they probably won't understand it. This movie made use of a lot of tools employed by superhero movies like 'the-villain-used-to-be-a-good-person' routine on Two-Face (like Anakin Skywalker) and 'the-hero-is-in-everyone-of-us' scene in the ferries (like saving Spidey on Spiderman II). The cool part was that they made it a point that Joker's history never really mattered. I like the 'I'm an agent of chaos' bit that he showed. It reminded me of a lot of people I hang with. (^_^)

Though the Nolan movies are great, I'd still stick to the Burton movies as my favorite (when Batman was still a comic book hero). Things were much simpler back then: good guys, bad guys and the ever reliable utility belt. But I guess this is just a sentimental choice.

PS. It must suck to be Schumacher these days. The only thing I liked in his Batman movies was Jim Carrey as the Riddler. (Okay, maybe Alicia Silverstone as Batgirl too).

This is called LIFE

A week, ago I was above the clouds.

Yesterday, I felt more than the world on my shoulders.

Today, I am in limbo.

where will I be tomorrow?

Today I said goodbye to another friend. Like what I did yesterday, and what I will do days from now. One by one, the people who I learned to love so dearly in my one year are flying off to different directions. Some headed for home, others toward fresh new beginnings. Its hard to be the one that stays. Its hard to send people off without breaking the smile plastered on your face. I am happy that they are off to new adventures of their own. But I am crushed by the fact that I might not see their wonderful faces. Not for a while, at least. I realize I am torn.

But I love them. And i choose to believe that we can grow separately. Without growing apart.

With that thought, with my faith, I will be made whole.

This movie reminded me of so much I've forgotten in my years as undergrad in law school.

1. That I like the law (sometimes)
2. That I need the law (lots of times)
3. That do not know anything about the law (all the time)

But I take one look around the courtroom and I realize I haven't even been born
yet." - Rudy Baylor, rookie lawyer.

I was thinking..

I have so many things in mind that i would like to write about. And when i say like..
I mean LIKE... But most of the time, my laziness overlaps my will.
A proof that my laziness is very much stronger than that of my strong
will to write. Anyway, going back to my interest in writing, everytime i get lazy to
write, i always end up making myself believe that those thoughts will never
leave my mind, that when I find the "time" to write about them, I'll find them circling
over my average, normal head. But right now, I'm starting to think that I'm wrong.
At this very moment, i don't know what to write... I'm thinking........................
where have all these ideas gone? I know they're in here somewhere.... wait.....
actually, I do know what i want to write about... but the thing is.... they're too many,
that I don't know where to start... i wouldlike to write about peace.. about war..
about religion... about philosophy.. about politics.. about economy.. about how crazy
the world is.. about how small it has become.. about those TV shows i have watched and
somehow made me think, provoked my belief, and things like that.. i would write
about certain songs.. about certainpeople.. about... EVERYTHING!!!!
See what i meant when i said i like to write? :)

Well, At this very moment, I'm listening to a Michael Jackson song entitled "We Are
The World..". I know at the "modern" lifestyle we have now, very few people
could appreciate such songs. With Usher, Justine, Akon, the countless bands and
singers we have right now, songs like these find barely find its way to the hearts and
minds of people...(I know that doesn't make sense or even related to my main topic
but well..) aanyway, as usual.. I'm starting to get lazy again..so haha next time!:D
