-What is the mystery of the nameless city, that each night, it and it’s in citizens, literally stop and drop into an un-waking sleep? And who are the dark clad Strangers, with the psychic powers to alter the city’s landscape and who go about altering l memories of the people!? You’ll have to watch director Alex Proyas’s Dark City to find out! A true hidden gem of a sci-fi film noir!
So yeah, finally it's here - the reason it took so long is also the reason why I didn't spam stupid comments while refreshing the Soul Eater tag on tumblr - wastes of times, poor impulse control, getting distracted and scatterbrained - so yeah, I'll try to finish this arc, then do the iceberg, while not really engadging with the "community" (because of this and many other reasons which if I tried to explain would only confuse people and make them hate me lol ((even if I say LOVE EVERYBODY))
Anyways, hopefully see the next one in a week, if not - Yeah...Sorry
I wrote an article about the beginning of the MIB phenomenon yesterday. It got me thinking about pop culture. One of my favorite movies from childhood is Dark City. I'm thinking about doing an in depth article on the movie but idk. I've never written about a movie. Whaddya think? Would it be interesting?
Adding on to my The Batman post, I forgot to mention how much I adore the way they handle the no killing rule. In terms of plot, I don't think it's mentioned at all as a sticking point. He won't kill and that's that.
But there's one particular scene. Carmine and Selina. Bruce has just punched Carmine to the ground, saving Selina's life, and is now trying to wrestle the gun away from her. She tries to convince him. "He has to pay!"
And right here is where I thought that stupid classic line was gonna be. I could see it coming like a freight train. "If you kill him, you'll be just as bad as he is." But then... I'm wrong. It doesn't happen. Instead, Bruce makes a very different statement.
"You don't have to pay with him. You've paid enough."
And with that, he gets the gun and Carmine is arrested. There's no moral high ground, there's no shitty logic.
Bruce has seen what The Roman has done. Who he's hurt. What he's taken away. Selina's mother. Her girlfriend. Bruce's own parents. He knows better than anyone the need for revenge. For justice. But he also knows that this man before him, lying bloodied on the floor, has taken enough. He's taken their families, their morals, their innocence. But he doesn't get to take away their lives. He doesn't get to have that power.
And then Carmine is shot and killed anyway so Selina got what she wanted in the end either way.
I'm doing it. I started my blog post on Dark City. It's already 3 pages (in Word), and I've not even gotten into symbolism yet. Just facts and story. Idk how long it will take to finish. I have 2 assignments due in less than 24hrs for school that I haven't even started yet, lol.
