Hey guys this will be my official first post on this new blog. i will still keep my old multiply because there are stuff there which i am too lazy to move here. i practically copied and paste the past blog posts here, so its kind of messy. Anyway its been a while since i have posted anything so today i shall post some interesting stuffs i have been doing. the reason why I’m moving to windows spaces as i got this cool app that allows me to publish my content directly from my pc using this writer, so i have more freedom regarding composition and creative creation!!
First of all, the A levels are finally over. i hope i managed to do well enough to get all As, but that remains to be known. anyway since the a levels ended, i have been doing many stuff. I just got back from an awesome trip to Hokkaido, Japan. i will try to upload some shots. then there was prom, photog outings, and now I’m planning for my Christmas party which everyone is invited to come. even strangers as its CHRISTMAS, the BEST time of the year!! Right now I’m going to give my opinions on the awesome film of the year, THE Dark Knight!! if you didn’t catch it, you’d better because its just awesome. it received a score of 9.1 on IMDB, and is currently the 3rd best film of all time!!! ranking behind the Shaw shank redemption and godfather? anyway if you think that the film sucks, you probably didn’t give it a fair trail. I’m going to give my take on this movie and why i think its simply one of the greatest this year.
I will break up this review into a few parts. Storyline. Photography. Acting. Directing.
Storyline.
we know that an awesome film relies heavily, but not necessarily, on a good storyline. since this is a movie, other factors like photography and acting will come into play, if not why don’t we just go read a book? so you do need to analyse these areas as well!!
i am not going to provide a synopsis of the whole film, but rather just an understanding of the film in general. Most people don’t understand the story of the film, thus dismissing it as some crap and rate like just any other action movie. i will try to show you the more abstract and deeper meaning of this story and perhaps share my appreciation for such an endeavour. In this film the joker, is a representation of perfect chaos, this is shown by his disregard for order, consequences, or even the idea of planning. his origins are unknown and his history as dark as hell. this is a way of injecting a fictional character that represents perfect and absolute disorder and chaos.
BaTman is a representation of Effective Justice. He is an outlaw who does good to the people of Gotham city, not via the law because it is ineffective. he attacks the guys he deem bad. i forgot the word for this. but this is not legal because the perspective of one cannot be taken as that of the law. o i remembered. a Vigilante. This kind of process can never be done forever for reasons i cannot explain here or this blog entry will become a book.
The district Attorney is a representation of True Justice. He fights the criminals according to the rule of law, in the court of law. Most importantly, he has a face. This shows that Justice has indeed come to gotham city, because justice without representation would mean that the justice is not reliable enough to show itself in society. This representation will give hope to the people of Gotham city. Not the uncertainty that the justice baTman previously provided, but a reliable, credible, and responsible legal representation.
Besides watching these 3 main characters battle it out in Gotham city, we also see the corruption of a naive DA, when his deeds brought danger to his door step. also we see BaTman battling with what and where he sees himself in the future of gotham city, with the uprising of this effective DA. Should he leave behind the life of BaTman? Amid all this, joker is creating so much turmoil , and no one seems to be able to stop him, except baTman. Then there was this scene where joker was trying out his personal experiment. You might not know this, but its something mentally retarded people do. they try to make others see their point of view by forcing them to do the stuff they do. EG. a cannibal adding human parts to a soup and feeding it off to people at a gathering. he calls it a social experiment. eventually he found out that the others are not like him, or what he thinks as fundamentally selfish human beings when forced to make such a decision. His experiments failed, of course, HAHA!! take that joker.
Photography.
what can i say, awesome effects, and photography with great racing scenes, cars, and weapons.
Acting.
acting by heath was perfect, don’t u agree? he was able to create that air of nonchalance that was so surreal. last before he died. the others were great too.
Directing.
i dunoo about directing, but the film turned out great, so get the director’s cut!!
if you still don’t think its awesome i dunno what to say.
anyway on to other stuff.
prom was ok, but didn’t go to post prom, cause it was rather late, zoukout would be better anyway. to view shots, get it from the chen or any other person who brought a camera. My trip to Hokkaido was great. i skied for the first time and skied down the mountain for the first time without an instructor!! HAHA! i borrowed the ski pass from another Singaporean who was waiting around for his daughter so he decided to lend me his ski pass so i could try the mountain. Awesome experience, all must try!! Temperature was mostly –1 or –2 deg C, with 1 deg C being the warmest, so its cold. i wore 1 long sleeve shirt and 1 jacket. so 2 layers in total. it snowed from the 3rd day i was there till the end of the trip, but this year was warmer than the past few, talk about global warming, we ought to do all we can to stop it, which is why the theme for my blog will advocate this until it no longer becomes a significant threat to mankind and all the lovable creatures and plants we share this wonderful planet with. Lets have Hope.For.Humanity. (nothing to do with sudan, but i do absolutely support Human Rights)
I wish Christmas this year will be the greatest ever!! christmas party on the 22nd of DEC!! i will try to post my Christmas collection of photos later when i get them. i just found out so many photog stuff on clubsnap.com. another photographer told me about this. im still figuring out why i need to pay to take photos of models when it should be the other way round. Hmm wanted to upgrade my equipment, but going NS, so probably later.
Now im trying to secure an internship with the legal service commission. If anyone of you know how i could get a legal internship at any firm or institute, or know any lawyers or legal related personnel please email me their contacts so i could arrange an internship. thanks!!
