The Dark Knight Rises

For lack of any other better intellectual reference, I will use the title of this Christopher Nolan movie I saw today, as my post title to reflect the resurrection of my blogging habits. Hopefully, this new interest will continue and become a routine activity in my already packed day.

I saw the third Batman movie today at the IMAX theatre. Though my neck still hurts because of the strain due to sitting at front row, I am not too bothered since I am still well immersed with the after effects of the sheer brilliance of the movie. I liked it for three strong reasons:
1. Its not about magical powers. Its about a man with a noble intention, strong team and some luck. People love Superman, Spiderman, etc. I have always liked movies that are closer to reality.
2. Its about the triumph of good over evil. No matter how beaten down the 'good' gets. With sheer determination and persistence, it will triumph over evil.
3. It shows the power of team work for the good. In this era of selfishness, we all are guilty of committing mistakes and bending the rules for our own personal good. When others do it, we are also the first to criticize and complain how bad the world and its people have become. If we all resolve to do good deeds, I wonder how different the world will be.
