the dark knight

so its sunday morning and thinking about what im going to do in the afternoon before i have to be up at the church for sunday night. adam, looks at me as i come walking through the office and says: "lets go at 1:20"
i was kind of perplexed at first but then i saw his computer screen up, and with fandango up on his screen i knew he wanted to go see the movie that i have been waiting for for so long

The Dark Knight.

This is the second instalment of the new Batman movie starring Christian Bale, Michael Caine, Heath Ledger, Aaron Eckhart, and some more huge names.

so i said yes of course, so we plan on going to see the movie at 1:20 sunday afternoon. let me tell you about how good this movie is. I love movies, all styles of movies and this is one of the best movies that i have ever seen. the camera work, the cinematography, the lighting, the colors, costumes, acting, everything was exceptional.
im obviously not going to spoil the movie for anyone who hasnt seen it yet, but there has been something going through my mind, since i went and watched this movie.

There is a real different vibe to the new batman movies rather than the old. i think one thing that stand out to me in this movie, is not how twisted and amazing it was, but how much the Joker reminded me of satan. it seems like everything that the joker did, and had people do seemed a lot like what satan does. he used his words to make people think what he wanted them to think and for them to do what he wanted them to do. the joker used words, and conundrums, to get people to do what he wanted them to do. he was able to make people believe in him and made them not want to get in his way but be apart of his crazy plans. the joker was a master of chaos in the movie, he was able to accomplish really everything that he wanted. i think the main thing that stuck me the most about the joker was how he just didnt care. i think thats another characteristic of satan that the joker had. he wasnt to worried about what people did as long as they, well did the wrong thing.

i saw this movie again over the weekend, and it was just as amazing or even better than the first. the joker still sparked thoughts at the similarities between satan and him.

the movie is excellent, a must see just throwing that out there

peace out.
