just came back from dark knight. hm, disturbed yet again. shld have known better since peili warned me during lunch. nvtheless, i finished the movie.

well,i shld have actually known eversince i read the newspaper a wk bad. it stated that movies such as spiderman series and superman returns are more popular than ever. why? many audiences tend to prefer their heroes going through moral struggles than having a perfect image as this, brings them closer to the superheroes. it tells ppl that even superheroes are afterall, human which reminds ppl that as beautiful as roses can be, they have thorns.

so is batman or any other "superhero: themed movies still suitable for kids? it is certainly disturbing when i see subsequent harry potter series heading towards a darker realm but still placed under children fantasy. ironic.

but how come ppl like to "destroy" the perfect superhero image? why is it only now tt ppl like their heroes to "have blood have meat". i dunno but what came to my mind was this. (this is rlly own judgement! dun mean anything) i was thinking maybe the idea of having a superhero in the past was because ppl did not have peace in their societies. the govts of the past arent tt established yet, hence it seemed tt it was up to the civilians who could make the society a better place. however, carrying the arm of justice isnt easy job, so it may be their desire for a superhero who fights crime to rlly stand up for them in place of their incapable govts. superhero stories are actually an eutopia to them, dreams brought to life. 

but as the saying goes, "one would not know the true value of a possession until he lose them". to us, the lucky folks who live under relatively(i must emphasize!) more stable govt, we dont treasure peace as much as the ppl of the previous generation. we do not have to fight for peace nor do we have to battle against crime ourselves due to the efficient police force in most developed countries. hence, superhero stories doesnt appeal to us. they are just a fraud we say. dream to fraud. hm...

we have 1 thing in common with the older generation. we both know perfect superheroes does not exist. sadly. true justice can nv be achieved by human, cause we have sinned. we need the ultimate SUPERHERO!!! heh.

but somehow, i find myself preferring to dream, to paint beautiful pictures of life. hm. maybe i'm just a 70-80 yrs old ah ma hiding in a girl's body. haha. but somehow, this movie doesnt weigh me down as much as death note. at least i'm still looking fwd to the next batman movie...unlike death note. but.....nvm:)
