I have a reader....



There was a comment left on my Dark Knight blog. I admit I was a bit perplexed when I received an e-mail about having a comment. I am so use to no one reading that I had no idea this blog was even uhhhh known per say. I have not had a blog that was read in 3 years. My infamous blog was like a silver lining to many. The philter of daily bloggers community. It was during an era where I was between one irascible ex-boyfriend and many deep changes compared to a ephemeral bliss I knew I could never take seriously. My words were read like love poetry to wine. Even after we broke up apparently fans bothered him about our uhhh misunderstanding. I had fans who would comment including people I really knew and people who fell in love with the story.

So I thank you reader. I apologize we did not get the chance to work "Wild Flower" but I certainly do want to be apart of future projects, a package of experience and fun delivered in one shot.

Two statements I found to be profound, simply because I am not use to comments about myself. Well ones of such rare kindness.

"Your writing is always insightful" & "I think you will grow into a very special actress/artist."

Thank you, thank you again

Usually my words or writing if you will, is not found to be insightful but rather with a taste of acrid tea and torpid. Special artist, lets hope so. I am ambitious more than anything, its the kismet comet I am waiting for. I hope to be much more than the your casual New York City subway busker.

I appreciate your support.

Christian Bale...the tutelary Batman of our darkest city



The Dark Knight once again is my topic for this evening. I wanted to post a blog for Christian Bale. You see, the first film was all about him and his performance is being overshadowed by Heath Ledger so for them both I write something.

I have always enjoyed the darker, the more grim Batman. Bruce Wayne has this redressing goal for the city and for someone who has the ability to hide much but do good Christian was a well choice. The temptation of giving in and being a real light no one will ever appreciate. The chase for a buss that never reaches him. Slowly you see Bale’s character being stripped (in the comic he even looses Alfred and Batman looses his mind and starts becoming much more serious) of any precious…penchant loved ones. In the film it was only one but if it was to continue (if possible) much more would be lost. His moment of thinking and wondering if Rachel’s fate was washed from his hands was to show how human Batman really is. Christian Bale is not one for much facial expression but his eyes told a well story. You see, Batman, Bruce Wayne is this cantankerous kind of individual I say I individual due to the rare aura he has, not many can fill his shoes. Batman makes a choice that others can and can not make. A city where he lost a loving life to criminals is stuck in their moribund grasp.

To portray someone with plenary and exclusive access to fun toys can only be given to Bale. He is often under the roles of being someone dark, it could be his natural tall dark and handsome exterior or it could be his eyes. The truth, the window to his very soul is often portrayed through his eyes and it can leave an audience captivated by a glimpse.

In American Psycho, toying with a remade concept is not easy and he did a fantastic job. To play Batman would only be right.

I think he is a good actor but to be honest I must see more of him. I want to see diverse roles, I want to see his dark side, his loving side, parts of soul into his work. Although he can only range from so much, because his face can trap him. You see, for an actor you either have a malleable look or a look that defines you. Bale has a look that defines him, so his goal should be to go for something outrageous and do it so well that his name is etched into hearts or take what is given to him and vivify the screen every time he comes across it. Which I think won't be too hard for Bale.

I adored The Prestige. A laudable performance on his behalf. However his face can limit him, pick something stranger. He has been around for quite a while and has been building quite the resume. I am entertained as a fan of films.

Thank you for your performance Mr. Bale and please bring out more and more of you some of us want to see all of you, and Directors think more like Tim Burton and not everyone else.

My dear quote from the Dark Knight:

"Sometimes, truth isn't good enough, sometimes people deserve more. Sometimes people deserve to have their faith rewarded. "

This quote is fitting to many because it is true in so many ways, the sad part is faith is not always rewarded. And considering I love being so honest I must admit I deprive others of it, even when it is not in my intentions to do so. Is it because I was deprived of my faith? No, I simply never had it, and I like it that way.

THE DARK KNIGHT!



I wanted to take my time to write this blog so this is a collaboration of nights thinking on what to say and how to say it.

The Dark Knight I do not see it fulfilling it’s typical hype. I found the movie to be more than entertaining if you will, I found it to be profound in the art of movie making as well as the characters that owned this nascent ability to be “relating” . The Character that stood out to me the most seems obvious and expected, however since I was little reading comic books and watching Batman I have always loved the Joker. I love his magical tirades that would plummet his enemies or in-the-way-passerby. Their world would sunder at his command all for the sake of fun. Call me a manic but quite frankly I have always had this twist to me. A twist I do not let out frequently, even to close friends (people I trust with my life) simply because I know letting them in would be a deadly event.

I am writing about the Dark Knight to say the movie is worth to slaver for. From its actors’ eminent performance to the conflagration of a city falling to its knees. There is no need to be prudent because the gray nimbus cloud that circles the films intentions will engulf your soul.

Out of all the performances, Heath Ledger’s soul vivified the movie screen and brought to me what I often see in the mirror. His soliloquy and very convincing words he has won me over. He brought my favorite character to life. Now Heath Ledger has always been talented. I am not saying he is talented because of his unplanned morbid departing. I am saying it due to his previous performances. He understood what true entertainment was. The whole point of being an actor is not to be some cheap moiety of Tinsel Town but to perfect a craft that not everyone can truly do. Unfortunately I will no longer have the opportunities to watch and enjoy future works. However I will enjoy what he has left behind. You see when you act, you are suppose to leave a mark whether it is a blessing or malediction of some sort. The whole point, the whole purpose is to make them remember you whether they want to or not. Acting is like any other job, it must be crafted well and most importantly perfected. The perfunctory performance is not good enough and Heath passed my every test, turned at every corner and left feeling satisfied as a customer to the movie theatre as well as a fan to his delectation art. In my journey of entertainment being what a few people can truly achieve is what I hope to reach some day.

Rest In Peace, because we have lost someone. They say the “Good Die Young”.

Enough bloggin so this my heart winning quote from the movie. I venerate this quote or soliloquy (if you will) because of its first nature to me it truly is. Finally another much like myself.

There was a quote said during the Dark Knight that hit home more than anything and I care enough to share it with you. Because of how fitting and first nature to my character, my being, my soul it really is. It is nothing sad it is something that rather makes me very happy to see something or rather someone (real or not) is just like me! I love it
"Don't talk like one of them, you're not! Even if you'd like to be. To them, you're just a freak?like me. They need you right now. When they don't they'll cast you out. Like a leper. See, their morals, their code: it's a bad joke. They're dropped at the first sign of trouble. They're only as good as the world allows them to be. You'll see, when the chips are down these civilized people will eat each other."
