Batman Begins

I recommend this movie to be watched on Sunday nights.

I like this movie, with mixed feelings...... just like some girls I know.

I like Christian Bale, with the mask on. How did they find a person who looks so much like Michael Keaton with a Batman mask on? I am sure that is one of the main criteria when they were casting for actors. But without a mask, he is just plain annonying. My impression with him remains in the movie Psycho, as if he was going to start hacking someone with an axe or chainsaw...... which incidentally is what Batman was. A psycho.

Anyhow. I like the story and setting for most parts. But not the ninja training! What the hell was that? And it does not stop there!! SWAT team, kevlar vest, all terrain vehicle, Microwave weapon, made in china boxes, subways, LCD monitors, cellphones......

The original Batman and Batman Returns were set in Gotham City, which is in a parallel universe the 1920 to 1930s. The setting in Batman Begins sometimes show look as if it was in the 1920s, and warped to 2005 in others. In fact, the most annonying part about the movie is the consistency of the time setting of the movie. It utterly confuses the audience which period the movie existed...... It really brings me to wonder if the director realises that Batman movies begin to really suck when they bring high tech stuff and made it a futuristic movie......

The bad guys. A mixed bag really. The gang boss and the slum is real great. Feels like classic batman. The shrink is pretty cool, except when they try to over-explain panic inducing toxins........ The righteous ninja using a microwave to evaporate water, therefore inducing toxins. And therefore the microwave and neurotoxins are his sword of justice?? What a handful..... Cant it be just simpler??? Maybe in his previous life, he was a Jedi master.....

All in all, I have done nothing but bashed this movie. But I still think this is better than all the Batman movies, after the first two, added together. And the main reason that it wasnt better or instant Batman classic, is the confusion with the setting of the movie. Especially when this is supposed to happen before the first Batman movie. In a 1920s settings, without cellphones, microwaves and SWAT!

Waiting

Although this is a dream, it still feels real. When I am living my life to the fullest, extremely focused on my goals and enjoying myself, she comes into my life.

Although it happened when I was writing my thesis in the research room in the dream, and that I was never able to concentrate writing thesis in my room since that day. I still believe that some day she will come back.

I dont strongly believe it, nor will I put a wager on it. But it just feels so real....

人生就像大便

有因就有果,吃什麼就拉什麼

只有自己才能勇敢的面對便秘,最後的勝利也只有自己才能體會的到

自己的屁股要自己擦
