The Dark Tale

Tuesday, July 22, 2008

Recently, I went out to with Su Juen and James to catch a movie. Before I start, thank you Su Juen for accompanying me shopping! Sorry that I couldn't help you take your stuff.

So I reckon you guys know what movie we watched. Yup, it was The Dark Knight. A groundbreaking milestone, I must say. It was a solid 2 hours and 30 minutes of guilty pleasure. Christopher Nolan's vision of the Batman films is very large-scaled, from the chaotic streets of Chicago to the tall skyscrapers of Hong Kong. It had very good cinematography and I adore the texture that Wally Pfister, the cinematographer, captured on film. It wasn't the most visually stunning film, but the story was top-notch. It explores the themes of chaos and anarchy and keep on exploring, daringly bringing new ideas to this already dark film.

Joker, played by the late Heath Ledger, was an excellent move by Christopher Nolan. I feel that Batman Begins was set up for this epic battle between Joker and Batman. Joker is petrifying, mystifying, psychotic, charismatic, sadistic..Oh my God, there's just so many words you can describe this iconic villain. Once he showed up on the screen, you just can't help but be mesmerised by this mad clown. Simply to put, he steals every scene he's in. What a waste, what a pity that Heath Ledger had passed away. I wouldn't call him a legend but he had potential to be one of the greatest actors of his generation.

Okay, enough with the praises. I had 2 tests so far. It was a surprise for me when I got back my Physics common test results. I hadn't really study that much before the test day itself and amusingly, I scored 31/40...That's an A1. I laughed at myself, but I wasn't proud. Aziz got the highest, scoring 38/40. Damn, man! That's a benchmark I got to set for myself.

Band Investiture is coming soon this Saturday and there's Chemistry remedial til 12:30. I'm really hoping I have the time to make it back home to bath and change and then come right down without the stench of sour sweat so I could hug some people without having them cringing at my odorous back. Heck, man. I don't know what to expect on that day. I would probably sit at one corner by myself when the ceremony's over..

The only and major fear I have is to be alone without the ones I love. I'm not scared if I'm in class because I don't give a shit about them..Not all of them. I just don't like it when I'm out there with my favourite group of friends, I'm being left out. I don't want to be seen like fish out of water, you know. I'm just afraid of being alone by myself when the others are having fun..I really am..
