Day Dreaming

The Dark Knight

Hi Everyone as the title suggests this post will express my views on one of
my favorite movies of all time.I am really a movie buff and I really would like to praise Nolan and his team for coming out with this masterpiece.Accidently Nolan is also my favorite director and have watched all his films except for "The Following".I feel his "Memento" is probably the one that is even better than caped crusader.
Anyways just a little background for those of you who dont know i hope there are not any!!."The Dark Knight" is a sequel to "Batman Begins" and involves Batman taking on his arch nemesis Joker."The Dark Knight" has got favorable reviews from everywhere..did stand No:1 on IMDB currently still in top 5 and has 93% on rottentomatoes.It is also second highest grossing movie all time after Titanic collecting over a Billion now!!It is one of the rare movies to have overwhleming critical as well as Box office approval.
But I dont think these impressive figures really matter to fans like me and will devote this movie even if it was not such a success.Each scene in the movie is so well fits the purpose and takes the audience by surprise and keeps them involved.Whether it is intro to Joker or the interrogation Scene or the Climax.I just can go on praising this film ...But here are some points which I feel makes this one a masterpiece-
"JOKER"-I feel it would not be wrong if the film was called "The Dark Knight and Joker" that is how much Joker means to this film.Late Heath Ledger just godlike in the movie no award would do justice and no praise would suffice for the charismatic creation of Joker by this actor.It is in my view on of the best roles enacted by an actor all time if not the best.I can go on praising Ledger's performance but will stop now saying that joker created by him will be always be in everyone's memories..
"Christopher Nolan"-I feel there is something great about this director as he does better himself with every movie.I think it would take a genius to really create a masterpiece like this one.I feel personally Nolan usually is a little slow in his narration and his few good scenes that lift the movie and then picks off the end with a great twist.But with Dark Knight there is not a single minute that would be dull alhtough a realtively long movie.
"The Spirit of Batman"-In my view one of the major reasons Dark Knight succeeds is that Nolan is captured the spirit of Batman so beautifully in this movie.(Some of the earlier batman movies just lost it!! barring begins of course!!).The Batman is my favorite superhero he is got no superpowers and yet he vows to never kill a person and that is what makes him great Hero.Nolan Captures the essence of Batman his confusion and feelings so beautifully in this movie and that is what connects with evryone.
Combine that with Joker's explanations for anarchy and his weird actions you actually for a moment feel that he makes sense.But wait a minute..this guy is so cruel and wrong and yet just for a minute you are actually persuaded...ethics are really a topics to discuss!!It always boils down to what choice you make and what you
decide is right and wrong.Anyways I would need another post to talk on ethics....
But combine all these points with a great set of actors,some great CGI,awesome background score,well crafted and shot fight scenes,some bits and pieces of great humor and thought provoking and yet mindblowing dialogues make Dark Knight an Instant Classic!!
In the end all I can say is "The Dark Knight" is a movie you can even recommend later on in your life to your grandsons and they will still end up liking and admiring it in the same way you did!!! Hail Batman!!! Cheers Nolan !!

Blog Title Change and Why Blog??

Well just changed the name of the blog to daydreaming now..don’t know why but it does a good job of expressing my thoughts..:)
Before i actually blog more i thought why not get good reasons for blogging?I dont know how many bloggers have thought this one out..I am pretty sure there are different reasons with everyone here are a few which i think are most common in my view-
1. Getting some attention-This is quite common honestly admit this was one of the reasons for me if not explicitly but sure it was there back of my mind.Anyways this is common and fairly obvious reasons for blogging.
2. Making money-Google ad sense one of the most important
revenues of websites and of google themselves. Many people thought if they can so can we.I am not going in detail with ad sense but getting money from ad sense by manipulating it is one hell of a task. Basically if you would want to earn money you would need to attract lot of visitors and that is only way you can earn some money. Also you need $100 to get a check anyways which is a long way unless you have popular website. But anyways this probably the most common reason.
3. Keeping a log of events and collaboration-This is probably
reasons why some people initially started blogging..keeping record of important events and thoughts..joined with friends commenting on posts and expressing their ideas.

These are probably more common reasons some others include sharing some information (e.g. maybe on a upcoming technology)with others and helping people out and others. I was reading little online about it and some people actually got jobs due their blogs. There are some other benefits which people have got due to blogging.

Well these were probably reasons why people blog...now why i blog???Started out with diff reasons...but now i feel i should just blog to put my thoughts to words and maybe just put my day dreaming to some use instead of none..:)
Signing out..btw decided now on to end very post with some relevant quotes..

Life in USA- wandering thoughts

Hi everyone back to blogging after a long time.I will try and keep this one short and sweet.I agree now as well that my previous posts have been too long(thanks to my procrastination).Anyways about my life its going well I did get a job when I came back from home(had the best trip of my life!!) as a Research Assistant.I am hoping to be continued woeking as RA in summer and learning more along the way.Also proably would do a few certifications along the way and apply online for some CPT postions.I do miss everyone back home esp my parents,friends and food and would love to have another trip before graduating.

But that's it about my life.

There is one thought which troubles me all the time nowadays(implies I do daydream all the time!!) and which is "What I want?" and honestly don't have a clue yet.I dont know should i be playing safe as I am now or should I be doing something that really excites and interests me.I have seen so many people now that are doing work which they despise or have the least interest in it.Also dont about other things like chasing girls or finding love but I suck at talking to girls anyways and have no hopes of wooing a girl but should I be invvesting time in it an trying to work my way or just be a nerd and concentrate on preparing myself for the future.The problem is i dont know what I want and sometimes its very difficult to distinguish between what you like and what is important at that time!!.

Well this one will be continued..

P.S - The previous post was to win a lucky draw in deals2buy :)...There is a minute chance I will win but if i dont i will never even have a chance..
