I know I’ve been missing a hell lot of movies lately, mostly good ones at that, but my schedule with my family all gets rounded up late almost everyday.
Luckily, I was able to watch The Dark Knight last night. Finally..
As everyone may know, I am a big comic hero fan. My priority, of course, is Spiderman. Then Superman, and last, Batman.
But after watching the latest batman sequel, I must admit that I have fell overly in loved with my caped hero, and to The Joker too.
In this movie, Batman felt responsible for all the violence and death that have suddenly broken out again in the heart of Gotham City . He was caught up between his respect and admiration to Dent as well as his feelings for his former lover, Rachel. And honestly, oh, I hated the feeling that Batman gives up the girl of his life :-(
Anyway, exploring into much of a plot- the theme of this movie signifies only one message- the good and the bad are inseparable or at least, almost next to each other. Such a confusing but enjoyable two hour and twenty minute movie with more of a psychological angst than an explosive-full of action.
For one thing, a lot of praises were also given to Heath Ledger’s terrific performance as the Joker in this movie, and I could never argue on that. He (Ledger) surely has given one of his best performances in this role, probably earning more respect and appreciation from other actors and especially the viewers. I, for one, will never forget Ledger for this film.
In contrary to past sequels, this time around, our caped crusader appeared to fight his very own huge struggle throughout the film. Christian Bale, though, portrayed class showing of his acting power between the overly rich civil businessman and the throaty voiced outlaw vigilante at night. Knowing Bale as one of this generation’s most audacious actors, he was indeed effective in showing how Batman’s psyche and efforts turn into on overly exciting chaos.
A thrill of a ride, though quite for a little longer than it should have been, this movie is worth watching maybe three or four times more. Though, I must admit that more credit goes to The Joker. I think Ledger’s plausible conviction to his performance in The Dark Knight only compounded the tragedy and magnitude of his loss in the industry.

HappinessWhat makes me happy?
People. Everyone around me who believes and inspires me- my family, my husband, my two beautiful girls, my friends and colleagues. Life itself is a happy experience. The world is a happy place. I had my own share of struggles, life was not easy for us back then but my Dad taught me how to believe in myself, work hard , be kind and to be strong. He inspired me to go out of my comfort zone. He used to tell me that the possibilities in life are endless and so I believed him. l Iost him quite a few years ago but he has left me with so much inspiration to follow my dreams - to visit places I have only dreamt of or have seen in the movies when I was little and to do things I thought were only for the privileged few. Wherever I go, I always remember my Dad, wishing he could see me from afar and somehow be proud of me as I have always been so proud of him. Life is short and I promised him that I would make the most of mine. Travelling makes me happy and in all other things, I choose happiness. We all should- always.. Memen ![]() Archives
