Batman Begins

Went to Odaiba with Mayo to check out the movie Batman Begins. Great flick. As can be inferred from the title, the movie is about the beginning of the Batman legend. The back history of how Bruce Wayne, Christian Bale, becomes the crime fighting hero of Gotham city is explained in detail. Rather than focusing on the crime fighting aspect, the direction of the film focuses more on how Bruce copes with his fear and anger. He is basically a moral man, but he is bent on striking fear in the hearts of criminals. The rendition of Gotham city, with it's multi-level train system and the massive centralized Wayne Enterprise building reminded me of Bladerunner in a dark, futuristic, overpopulated, metropolis kind of way.

According to one of my sources, tomorrow is Star Festival Day! You'll be lucky to see any of em though cuz it's rainy season. Anyway...enjoy the stars!
