I just watched "The Dark Knight" in IMAX cinema.
I must say that it is a great movie. You can know it if you did follow my blog because I seldom wrote something about a movie except the movie is a really good one.

Joker is a briliant character in the story. He challenges the best cop in town to do things that people won't expect him to do.
To the clown prince of crime, a knife is preferable to a gun, the better to "savor the moment."
To him, beauty could be reborn in the midst of a living hell is just crap. Everything will getting selfish once the situation limit you to act generously.
He knows damn well that humantiy is what you will lost when you are trying to gain power.
So he creates this game call "humanity" test to "good" people
Even more important, perhaps, he believe that nothing can rise above the ugliness of the world around us. Even Batman himself.

A very good quote retrived from the movie
"The only morality left in the cruel world is only chance"

When there is no way for you, will you break a way urself?

Batman: You'll be in a padded cell forever.
The Joker: Maybe we can share one. You know, they'll be doubling up, the rate this city's inhabitants are losing their minds.
Batman: This city just showed you that it's full of people ready to believe in good.
The Joker: Until their spirit breaks completely. Until they get a good look at the real Harvey Dent and all the heroic things he's done. You didn't think I'd risk losing the battle for Gotham's soul in a fistfight with you? No. You need an ace in the hole. Mine's Harvey.
Batman: What did you do?
The Joker: I took Gotham's white knight and I brought him down to our level. It wasn't hard. You see, madness, as you know, is like gravity. All it takes is a little push!

The film itself evokes the collision of an unstoppable force with an immovable object.
The movie forces us to question our own value if we are facing similar circumstances as well

What will you choose then?
To kill others for your own sake?
Or to kill youself for the world.

That is, the question that Christopher Nolan leaves us to ponder with.

When desperate strikes, what left, is only selfishness
no matter who are you.

How good are you.

And even how holy are you.

If u all feel like nothing to do in this weekend, go for a movie!!!

I just watched a great movie name Vantage Point, here are some pictures of the movie!!

Enjoy!! It is most probably the most excited movie for me in 2008.

President Ashton (William Hurt) is attending a global war on terror summit in Spain. Thomas Barnes (Dennis Quaid) and Kent Taylor (Matthew Fox) are two of the Secret Service agents assigned to protect him. This is the first action that Agent Barnes has been in since he took a bullet for President Ashton six-month earlier. We really dont know if Agent Barnes is up to the challenge of protecting the President. Shortly after President Ashton is escorted to the stage in the plaza by the Secret Service, he is immediately shot twice by a rifle from a window and falls to the floor. The crowd is in shock and chaos breaks out all over, especially, when bombs begin to explode. Howard Lewis (Forest Whitaker) is an American video-taping the event to show to his children that he was actually there at this historic event. He believes that he has the picture of the man who shot the President. Agent Barnes sees the tape and has a clue to that person. Several different people witness the event, and only through their eyes do we see the truth behind the assassination attempt.

Afterward, the movie show us the different point of view where included the terrorist, passenger, a good smaritan, news reporter in those 8 strangers mentioned. Within the different points of view. We can slowly recovering the truth and know what is exactly happening. It’s only as we follow each person’s perspective of the same 15 minutes prior to and immediately after the shooting that the terrifying truth behind the assassination attempt is revealed.

The movie is really cool and worth my 10 bucks! The ending of the story is meaningful as the "bad guy" choose not to hit on the little girl but make an emergency brake and turn to the other way which made the car crashed. This shows that bad guy also have a good heart (DAvid said that)
