I had the pleasure...or should we say the extended pleasure of watching the Batman Dark Knight sequel last night. Although very long and probably a tad dragged out it was very entertaining...Note to self: don't go see an action film at the oriental theater (sound quality reasons).
What was interesting to me was the superb acting of "The Bad Guy", Heath Ledger. He was able to take you deep into the mind of what we call a mad man...or was he really the most sane person in the movie? I was amazed at how all of his plans came to fruition. Although they were sinister he had the remarkable ability to make things happen. He compared himself to a dog cashing a car in what will definitely be a famous quote for a very long time when he said: " I am a different kind of crazy, I'm just a dog chasing a car...I don't know what I'll do when I get it...I just enjoy the chase."
When I heard that line it made me think of all of the times I just chased something I wanted, with no plans after I got what I wanted. Sometimes I really enjoyed what I wanted other times I just took it out of my mouth and threw it to the wayside. I guess in life the chase is always the reward. Like most guru's these days say, it's the journey that is important. The journey or chase, or whatever you want to call it, is ideally what makes us who we are. The final outcome is minuscule to what becomes of us during our journey.
In the end I really respected The Joker and his perspective on the world, did I believe in his methods, by no means...NO!, but he really made a create case for being a bad guy.
