A Teenage Girl's Take On The Dark Knight Rises

It's depressing when people don't understand the theme or emotion behind any movie... And when something like The Dark Knight Rises (TDKR) comes along things get even more depressing.

This movie has created such a huge hype that I'm sure there were many who had not even seen the first two movies. Which is good because TDKR will force them to watch the two movies again. I'm trying to hide a grin here.

So I was in my CEED coaching class. (A bit of background here... CEED is Common Entrance Exam for Design which is held in December. In the same coaching institute there are others who prepare for NIFT (fashion) and architecture exams) And as usual I can see TDKR craze in the classroom when I heard one girl say... "Dark Knight Rises is awesome re!!". This girl and a few others come here to prepare for NIFT.

So I was sitting nearby and somehow managed to enter the discussion. My main intention was to understand The-Teenage-Girls-Opinion-On-Action-Movie Psyche.

I did this by asking a very obvious question, "Oh so you also saw the Dark Knight?" I asked smilingly.

This girl enthusiastically replied "Yaaaaa! It wass AWESOMMMEEE!! you also saw it??"

"Yeah... It was a great movie!" I said. You can also note the sophistication in my voice here.

And here comes the moment when I almost choked. Because the girl then said, "But Batman came only 4 times in the whole movie na!!?" Emphasis on 4 TIMES.

WHY? GGZZZZTTT!!! What did she just say?? ZZZZJJTTT!! Did I hear that right?? 4 times??? Ooohh Christopher Nolan!! How could you do this!! You should've atleast shown Batman more than 4!! ZZT ZZT!!

I was searching my mind for something to say... I tried to defend that point and finally mumbled, 'That's not the point of the movie right?"

She said, "Yaaaa... but...... Hey have you seen The Amazing Spiderman??"

"Nope..."

"It's AMAAAZINGG you know!!"

Gotham's Reckoning

I just can't wait for The Dark Knight Rises (TDKR) to release!! And what made me go crazy was when I read that Bane was going to be the main antagonist.

See Nolan's Batman Trilogy has always been about the villians. There's really no point in making a big-budget movie for the big screen where the bad guy is a small timer is there? Makes sense to me. Also since we already got a lip-smacking taste of The Joker in The Dark Knight then villain has to be even more bigger. And with Bane here we literally get BIG.

See What I mean.

But that still wasn't enough for me to jump and shout like a kid. (although it already had me running around like a happy dog). That's when I heard TDKR Background Score... And that was enough to push me into the vortex of TDKR hype-zone. Now I'm going dizzy with excitement.

The youtube link I have posted below is the OST known as Gotham's Reckoning by Hans Zimmer (God of background-scores). I couldn't move when I listened to it for the first time. A really amazing experience. That's what I'm talking about!! Yes!!

Now I'm the kind of person who believes that if someone wants to listen to any sort of music, they just have to let go and be lost in the grandness of sounds.

As I close my eyes and listen to this music it creates a feeling of infinite space around me. It's like an infinite canvas where I'm lost in the images of grandness and epicness. The roaring of the trumpet, the huge explosion of beats, the violins... It just oozes awesomeness! 

Now I urge you to hear this piece below in the same way. See if it makes any difference.

I listen to this one when I'm high!! Woohoo!
