The Knight & his sacrifices

Have you given away something which you cherish more than your life just for the reason that somebody will be happy? Have you ever wondered how hard is it to sacrifice some part of your life; especially when you know it will never be acknowledged? Have you ever wondered what pain a martyr goes through? Have you ever thought what it feels like to be on the receiving end of being somebody's second priority. & the worst is you have nobody to talk to about it!

Gosh, it is hell!

Now don't get the wrong idea. I am not talking about myself. Being the pompous & self acclaimed egoist I am, I would never do that. I am talking about the latest of the Batman series 'The Dark Knight'. 

The movie's story is nothing new. But it does show you a different side of the Batman. The normal dark side of the superhero has been portrayed so much that people do forget what would be the humane side of the poor guy. The 'Dark Knight' gives away the happiness in his life so that the commoner of Gotham can sleep peacefully. He let goes of the person he loves most, believing that she will return back when things are better. No wonder they call him the knight, the bravest of the warriors who don't show emotions even when their world is getting ripped apart.

Christian Bale is awesome in the movie both as Batman, the superhero & Bruce Wayne, the multi Billionaire playboy. Aaron Eckhart, as Harvey Dent is also good, but he is awesome once he transforms into the character of 'Two-Face'. Of course late 'Heath Ledger' overshadows every other person in the movie as 'The Joker'. The way he says "This city deserves a better class of criminal & I am going to give it to her" is awesome. He certainly deserves Oscar for the movie, though I doubt if they give Oscar posthumously. The special effects wouldn't disappoint you either. 

Best Dialogue in the movie, again by the Joker:- 

"Good evening Ladies & Gentlemen, we are tonight's entertainment."

However, for me the action & the special effects of the movie are secondary. I loved the way the director has handled the emotions of Batman transforming into Bruce Wayne. The way he still goes on, sacrificing the only thing worth cherishing in his life, even when he knows that he will never gain anything from it. I wonder how would poor Bruce feel if he comes to know that 'Rachel' did leave him for 'Harvey Dent' . 

Whoever said that being a Hero is easy must certainly have been drinking. A must see for all action freaks. 

Three cheers for all the heroes in the world, who have got the heart to sacrifice something in their life for the sake of other's happiness. I wonder where would this mean world be without them!
