dark knight

my sister and i are really different... she has problems going to the theatres and enjoying the story (together with interrupting me with lots of questions)...
yet, to me, its a wonderful experience. i absolutely love watching movies though i dont do it often (i think thats why i love it more..) i love going to the movies alone, with no one familiar and watch the adv before the start ( i go crazy when we missed it today, i looove looking at yet-to-be-released shows.. trailers are super fun) i love doing it at my own pace, to enjoy the movie with no one to influence my thoughts abt the movie ( am always tempted to ask pple abt their thoughts when watching with someone else) i enjoy the small details of the movies, to laugh when its funny and get tense when the music starts... i absolutely love it.. i have watched all 5 hp movies on my own and i intend to continue the tradition for the last 2.. exciting~

i wonder... if the dark knight is not a hero? maybe what oldman said said was right. he is a guidance angel, but why cant a hero hide behind a mask? can you not be a hero if you hide in the comfort of darkness? spiderman had the problem, so does hellboy and batman. do we have to look behind the mask to know that he is worthy of our trust and respect? sometimes the mask tells us more abt the person that what it doesnt... if he is as unworthy, then why do good behind a mask? why the no expectation of rewards?

sometimes i think the only reason he took the blame for the cruel deaths was his way of self-destruction upon rachael death. yet i dislike how dent craved upon her death more, dislike how the love dent put on the pedestal, proved to be nothing more than obsession more.. nothing is more pitiful and painful to look than the destruction of the mirage of love.

i am not strong, but i find fault with ladies in movies that does not have the ability to steer their man in the correct path.. that are unable to fall in love with a man and let him live the way he had upon their deaths... with no regrets, no anger, just peace and calmness...

You either die a hero or you live long enough to see yourself become the villain? no i dont believe in that. excuses for the weak minded.. maybe there is a difference between doing the right thing and being a righteous hero... maybe sometimes you have to scoop that low to uphold the high values you hold.. but that doesnt mean you should start being a killer, villain because of that.. it is a mere reason for those who set out to do right and end up being tempted to do wrongs.. the circumstances do not force you to become something else.. the circumstances force you to define what kind of person you are (capable of). a right man (i didnt say a hero) does what he feels is right, what he knows is right (unless you are a psychopath) even if he cant be... that is the courage needed and what i think the dark knight symbolizes.. not the fear it instill in criminals, the respect he earns, not the deals he done, the inspiration for his city...but rather, for the courage to fly down the skyscrapper, to come between the cars with his Lamborghini, to blast in front of the firegun with his batmobile (really really cool speed...), to have the courage to bear, to tolerate, to understand the burden when all he wants is to leave it, to do the things we cant...
