The Dark Knight

I decided to write a blog to just blab on about my day and how i am feeling and it occurred to me that i am not feeling anything. i have no feelings at all about my day, it wasn't boring, it wasn't fun, it was tiring and wasn't interesting in any way shape or form.

So lets leave aside those morbid thoughts and move on to the film i went to see yesterday, The Dark Knight. After all the hype i had HIGH expectations and i am sure that the film would have met them had i not spent so much time worrying about the boy in front of me. He must have been about ten years old. This film (in my opinion) was not appropriate for a 10 year old! Heath ledgers Joker though undeniably brilliant and chilling was very unsettling. his enjoyment of chaos and violence is not a motive I have not seen since the clockwork orange. These days we seem to prefer our villains to have an obvious motive, almost invariably money or revenge. The Joker's unpredictable and difficult to understand and is a character without empathy. This film is absolutely worth a look but its 12 rating is a joke (pardon the pun) no one under the age of 15 should watch this film. a higher rating has been avoided with a lack of nudity and swearing is minimal but it is the mental assault, the themes in this film are ones that children shouldn't be and don't need to be familiar with.
