Such is Life


I saw "The Dark Knight" on Tuesday. The movie was simply amazing, be it the performances or the special effects. Everything was great, and if i had to point out the best performance it wud hav be Heath Ledger who played the 'joker' in the movie. His performance was so good tht one cudnt help but hate him by the end of the movie. The special effects were definitely one of the best tht i hav seen so far. But i m not here to talk abt the movie or the performances and the special effects! I m here to highlight a very important point thts been made in the movie. A very strong point tht was conveyed by the character of 'Joker' was tht ppl who are like him dont hav any agenda in life. They r unhappy somewhere inside and hence they cannot see ppl around them happy. So all they wanna do is spread as much as unhappiness as possible and create a sense of fear in the minds of ppl. So tht it seems as if the world has been conquered by them. This is wht the joker kept doin thruout the movie, he felt happy when he created chaos......he felt happy when he killed ppl for the heck of it!

I saw a strange kinda of similarity between him and the terrorists of today. They hav a similar agenda in life and tht is to spread fear and unhappiness! I still dunno wht wud they achieve by doin this. But this seems to be their only objective in life. Otherwise wht wud one get by blowing up two cities of India? Wht wud one get by sending warning e-mails tht Mumbai and Delhi r next on the target? Wht is the primary objective here. Do they want money? the answer is a no coz they already hav tht from various sources. Do they want power? perhaps yes but this doesnt mean any kinda post or designation here, it means a weird sense of power which they feel when they see scared faces of the ppl who hav lost their near and dear ones to their disgusting acts of terror. The only thing tht they dont want in life is peace & happiness. And tht is exactly wht the joker said at the end of the movie. He said tht he wanted to break the spirit of ppl and wanted to turn them against each other so tht no camaraderie or love is left in this world. Unfortunate but true, this wht these ppl want......but how far will they succeed is something highly questionable. Perhaps we too need a Dark Knight like the one in the movie.
