The night is darkest before dawn
That line by Harvey Dent played on my mind after I watched The Dark Knight. It’s a very good movie. Joker really became the center of gravity of The Dark Knight. Beside his remarkable acting, probably Heath’s death also boosted people’s acknowledgement. It’s such a shame that he had to die at such young age. He’s the best Joker so far, at least for me. I took Charlize’s advice and watched it on Wednesday, after a long sleep, at La Piazza. Got one seat at A row. That’s the good side of watching movie alone, you’d always get a decent seat, no matter how full the theater was. The movie itself was quite long, about 150 minutes, but I wouldn’t leave my seat for anything. Harvey Two Face was also introduced in this movie, it’s too bad that he just got a little portion. There were some cast that I recognized from other movie/serial. Like William ‘Alexander Mahone’ Fitchner from Prison Break. And the Mayor…I’d seen him somewhere…just couldn’t remember where. One thing that disappointed me was…Rachel. Not as beautiful as I had expected. But still, it’s great movie. After the movie I went home. Yeah I went to La Piazza just to watch The Dark Knight.
I was shocked for a while when I got to the motorcycle parking. Elisha was gone… It took a few seconds for me to really sure that she wasn’t at the same spot I left her earlier. WTF!!!! My heart was beating faster. Bad scenarios were playing on my mind…but then I managed to get my composure and asked the parking attendant there. He suggested me to search somewhere on the back…yeah right…which one is the back among that sea of motorcycles? I’d take hours to look at those motorcycles one by one. So I just follow the direction that the guy showed faintly and let my instinct guide me…lucky me, not more that five minutes, I found Elisha. There she was, standing (or should I say sitting?) calmly beside a Ninja. *relief sigh Thank God! I learned my lesson not to leave her carelessly, my poor Elisha.
I quickly rode her home. Got home, ate a bit. Didn’t really have an appetite due to sore throat. Wanted to get some afternoon nap, but didn’t feel like to, so I watched No Reservation instead. CZJ was really beautiful. Her pillow face…darn Michael Douglas to be able to see her face every day, every morning…(well probably it’s the make up also that made her face look so adorable..but still…she’s one lovely lady). To my surprise, Aaron Eckhart (the guy who played Harvey Dent in The Dark Knight) was also the leading role in No Reservation. What a coincidence choice of movies I watched that day…lolzzz. The story was standard, after that I got my nice afternoon nap.
Yesterday…I ate Haagen-Dazs again…Boyyyy…two birthdays in a week, two birthday cakes, three scoops of Chocolate ice cream, two scoops few days after that, then a scoop yesterday…really made me full (and in a need of rest) of Haagen-Dazs. Yesterday also for the first time ever, watched a movie at Blitz Megaplex PP. And I watched The Dark Knight again, to compare the theater quality (my friend had been praising Blitz’s quality and his now reluctance to watch movie at Cineplex again). I had to say, he’s right. The movie quality was better. It’s crisp and brighter I think. I really could feel the difference (remembering I just watched the previous day at a different theater). The sound system was also better. The rumblings and explosions were felt more. And the best part, we watched it using a friend’s card, thus we got 75% discount…sweet, huh?
Well…it’s been movie and music week. Been to four different karaoke places this week. Happy Puppy, Blitz Karaoke, XKTV, and Nav. Blitz n XKTV were suck. The songs weren’t complete and the user interface was poor. Probably these intensive singing sessions were the cause of my sore throat…..hmmmm could be. One thing I could use and really wanted now was Wolverine’s healing factor. My left knee still throbbing a bit. The wound was getting better, but it healed slowly. I might have to absent from the biweekly futsal game. *sigh…darn…probably it healed slower than I had expected coz I forced myself to play on Monday. But when I was playing, I didn’t feel anything….adrenaline…such a powerful drug. Another thing, after the usual parking area was closed down, I had to park Elisha near Bengkel Café. And on my way to the office, I met this cool, quite attractive girl wearing glasses. It’d been four times…hmmmm…nice morning view…lolzzzz…
Ok back to the quote. There were lots of good n entertaining quotes from The Dark Knight. Most of them were from Joker. There’s this one sad part when Bruce didn’t get to know that Rachel finally decided to marry Harvey instead. Bruce asked Rachel whether she really meant it when she said that they could be together once Batman was no longer needed in Gotham. Bruce thought that he could ‘retire’ as Batman and let Harvey fight crime legally on broad daylight. But Rachel knew that the day when Batman retired would never come. She wrote him a letter, but never got to him since Alfred burnt it. Didn’t know why…but probably because Alfred knew that Bruce still clang to the hope, to Rachel’s words that they could be together…while Rachel saw that it would never come…that she already gave up hope(?). *sighhh…it’s a sad situation. On one side, Rachel’s been waiting…(a year following Batman Begins timeline) in uncertainty. And yet, she thought the cloud was never gonna be clearer. What about Bruce? He still hoped on that words…the one chance to have a normal life. Maybe that’s why Alfred burnt the letter, he didn’t want to make Bruce give up hope as well. Maybe like what I wrote in Superheroes, they also bore a lot heavier burden that we might assume. Bruce Wayne, a billionaire, one of the most wealthiest and powerful man in the world…who would have thought that he also bear that kind of burden? Never be able to live a normal life, having someone he loved by his side…
Alfred also said, similar like Harvey’s…Things are always get worse before they get better. Or quoting Spice Girl’s song….there’s a rainbow in every storm.sometimes Most of the times, all we have to do is endure…keep hangin there, though it seemed things were just only getting worse…but it’d be clearer. A better day would come. The storm would pass, leaving the clear day(s) to be enjoyed. We just have to endure and do our best. Yeah sometimes it’d make us so weary…that’s why we need something to help us re-energize ourselves, to be able to endure. Be patient to endure....
As for Batman....ermmm....like the world's greatest scout (and other superheroes)...he also lived in hisfortress of solitude batcave. But he endured.
