As the title suggests, JX and I went to watch the Dark Knight On Monday. JX was all excited when he learnt that The Dark Knight is showing in cinema this month. So, we redeemed the tickets with the free GV movie coupons I won during the bowling competition (if you read my previous post).

In the beginning, i detested the joker as he is the bad guy in the movie, causing chaos in the city and engaging in illegal activities like robbing the bank for/with the mob. It's only rightful that he be arrested and even killed, to atone for all the wrongs he has done. But upon knowing that he is the victim of family violence and rejected by his wife (FYI, the scar on his face was done by his psychotic dad who wants him to have a permanent smile on his face which he obviously could not upon seeing his dad abused his mum, and his wife left him after he scarred himself in an attempt to console his disfigured wife), I begin to sympathize this character (regardless of whether the joker is cooking up stories about his disfigured face). The acting of the late Heath Ledger (who played the joker) makes the character comes to life. It's a pity that the entertainment industry lost such a young talent like him.

Though The Dark Knight is a fiction movie, the story highlighted the root of social problems cause by juvenile delinquents though definitely not to such an exaggerated scale in the Singapore context. But in other countries where law is more lax on the possession of firearms, we do hear of alarming news of gun killings by youths. It's such a sad thing that humans can be driven to such extreme of insanity to kill others when they are deprived of love.

Love, being so intangible, but yet is the most essential need of human's existence and the undeniable constant nourishment for the soul. This, indeed, is an undebatable truth.

To comment a little more about the movie, Batman was so MAN! Seeing how he came to the rescue during those crucial moments, it just makes me want to fall into his arms, mesmerised and be protected by him forever. Wwweeeeeeee .... ;)

To sum it up, it's a great movie worth your every dollar, and cent ;)

Hope your weekend has been enjoyable, my dear frens!
