The Dark Knight as Inspiration

After watching The Dark Knight for the second time, it got me thinking about a lot of things. That movie is surprisingly deep. Boy, is it deep...

Aside from the inspiration for the photo today, there are a few lines that have resonated within me.

1) "The only morality in a cruel world is chance. Unpredjudiced. Unbiased. Fair."

I like this because it's true. It SHOULD all boil down to chance, because let's face it: human beings are flawed, and it's this flawed nature that creates problems. It is ONLY human beings that cause these problems.

2) "This is what happens when an unstoppable force meets an immovable object."

Originally, I thought nothing of this quote, but upon furthur thought I realized that I have no idea what would happen if an unstoppable force met an immovable object. Does the world explode? Or does one give way? No, it can't give way...one's unstoppable, the other's immovable. Ow, my head.

3) "You either die a hero or live long enough to see yourself become a villain."

This highlights my view that people are corrupt, and the only thing you can do about it is harness it into creative energy. For instance, this corruption is well-harnessed for business purposes. You can't be a "nice" entrepreneur. Not honestly, anyways...

I've never had a movie give me so many quoteable, thought-provoking lines. Heath Ledger's Oscar was well deserved, to say the least.
