i feel i should jump on the 'dark knight' blogging bandwagon. and for good reason. tonight i saw the dark knight for the third time. ridiculous, i know. but honestly, brilliant. my friends, ethan and clint, have both written blogs recently pertaining to the anarchist ideals of the joker. in a perverted fashion, the joker does make a point that i feel is a very valid one. morals are corrupt. plans are corrupt. they will fail and they will crumble. and i feel that many people will misunderstand me when i say morals. i am a lover of jesus, but i do not feel that christianity is a true reflection of a relationship with christ. christianity is plans. it is guidelines that we put ourselves up against in order to judge our standing and progress.
the joker was right. "you have all these rules and you think they'll save you." oh they wont. we create a box for ourselves, boundaries, grounds that if we keep up with, we validate ourselves as okay. the joker shows two-face "how pathetic [the] attempts to control things really are."
its so true. if we create plans, if we create boundaries, we are living in a cage. we are living in christianity--religion. relationship versus religion. the difference is huge. one is a damp mine with no air while the other is a freedom and joy that is indescribable.
lastly, i feel that the end of the movie summed it up fairly well. "Sometimes, truth isn't good enough, sometimes people deserve more. Sometimes people deserve to have their faith rewarded."
perhaps im talking in circles, or too far-fetched, but it certainly makes sense in my non-nonsensical mind.
