Dark Knight
Went and saw Batman this afternoon with my Mom.
Good movie.
But very depressing, given most people who pay attention to the news know that Heath Ledger took his own life a few months ago. It bothers me a lot because seeing this film now makes me think about what sorta headspace he must have been to have done that, and how he may or may not have shown signs of being in distress before he took his life.
I think i've mentioned before here how my uncle passed away, and this movie brings to mind similar memories and unhappiness.
Nevertheless, the story made a good transition to film, and I'm impressed that the method of storytelling overall was less 'superhero-ey' and more contemporary.
Will be interesting to see what the third film brings.
