I pity Bruce Wayne…

My brother and I watched The Dark Knight last 29th of July, after I arrived from Alegre Beach Resort.  I know this movie is the talk of the town recently and I can now understand why.  Different people saw different things from the movie and I realized that when Ed and I had a conversation about it.  I remember him talking about how Heath Ledger portrayed his character and he said it in a very intense way that I decided right then and there that I want to watch it.  And he was right Heath was great in the movie but along with that agreement, I have realized a lot of things.  One, is the way how people reacted on the situations that the Joker had ployed.  It’s kinda scary because that is how we normally act when we are placed in a situation that we will have to think about our survival.  It’s just a good thing that in the part where he plotted to have the people in the two ferries to blow up each other, both parties decided to not blow up anybody.  But with all that is happening in our society right now, it made me wonder if people would do the same thing if we will be placed in the same situation.  Will we throw the detonator out the window or are we going to kill each other the same way as the gang who were given sticks to fight over a single slot for the Joker’s gang. 

Then there’s Bruce Wayne.  I do pity him and the people like him.  You know how some people could have all wealth in world but they usually don’t get what they really want.  In Bruce Wayne’s case, he couldn’t get the girl that he loves.  And the worst thing is, he never had any closure with Jane.  I don’t know which is worse:

a.) knowing that the person that you love doesn’t love you

b.) not knowing at all if the person loves you or not

c.) be in the position of Alfred where he kept the truth that Jane doesn’t love Bruce and look at Bruce in the eye while he is grieving for his lost love.
