His only crime was that he loved me.

I see a beautiful city and a brilliant people rising from this abyss, and in their struggles to be truly free, in their triumphs and defeats, I see the lives for which I lay down my life, peaceful, useful, prosperous and happy;
I see that I hold a sanctuary in their hearts, and in the hearts of their descendants hence.
It is a far, far better thing that I do, than I have ever done; it is a far, far better rest that I go to, than I have ever known.



I FLAT OUT SQUEALED IN THE CINEMA WHEN I HEARD THIS LINE AT THE END OF THE DARK KNIGHT RISES.

It's like Christopher Nolan just decided to go like "okay so I have the most awesome superhero movie in the history of forever...how can I make it better? Oh I know, I'LL JUST THROW SOME CHARLES DICKENS IN THERE"

I went to watch a Batman movie,
and came back with all my Sydney feels in full force. WHAT IS THIS.

And now I have Christian Bale, Tom Hardy and Joseph Gordon-Levitt (you perfect human being, you) feels too.
Damn you, Chris Nolan. If you're going to refuse to make more Batman movies THEN YOU DON'T GET TO DO SUCH AN AMAZING JOB ON THIS LAST ONE.



And.
Christian Bale is Batman okay.


I never had CBale feels for any other movie, but this movie was just.
askldsjdjfghsgh.
I think its because he had more character expansion (is that how you put it?) in this movie.
On the whole, I liked The Dark Knight better as a movie, but I liked CBale better in this one.
Does that make sense?


Anne Hathaway (despite my hatwithapassionred of her) was definitely tolerable in this movie.
No, I'll be honest...I actually quite liked her in this movie.
Definitely convincing as Catwoman.






Tom Hardy was an excellent Bane.
Excellent.
Heath's Joker was still the best villain imo (bit difficult to top that tbh),
but Tom Hardy was wonderful.


And at the end I got Bane feels too. Dammit.
I have a huge thing for tortured, misunderstood villains who have emotional motives behind their villainy okay.



AND JOSEPH GORDON-LEVITT.
I had major Arthur feels after Inception but in this one...
HOW.
HOW is it possible to be so adorable, and puppy-dog-eyed, and lovable and yet so downright sexy all at the same time?
Angsty JGL is my favourite okay.


Detective John Blake, would you marry me?
(I have to be the world's most unabashed fangirl)
AND THE ENDING ASXKLSJFSDGFSH. SO MANY FEELS.


(I really don't want to spoil it for anyone who hasn't watched it yet BUT HE'S NOT ROBIN KTHXBAI)
I'm going to link you guys to an article that explains this much better :
(at least it's written without all the fangirling that would have been in it if I'd attempted to write it. ahem)

Don't click on it if you haven't watched TDKR.
If you haven't, and you still want to click on it, don't blame me for spoiling the movie for you. You brought that on yourselves.

There you go : http://www.forbes.com/sites/markhughes/2012/07/26/the-meaning-of-joseph-gordon-levitts-fate-in-the-dark-knight-rises-spoilers/

I don't completely agree with the article though, I think he might become another character,
but that is speculation to be left for after my exams.

Pretty JGL, just because :








On another note,
WHAT ON EARTH WAS AIDAN GILLEN DOING IN THIS MOVIE.

And Cillian Murphy.
(I laughed when I saw him I'm sorry)






I'm just writing this blog post so I can get all this out of my system so I can uhm. get back to studying.
Didn't study at all yesterday on account of my brain screaming "MORE BATMAN MORE BATMAN" every time I opened my textbook.




I'll admit, when everyone was going "TDKR is so much better than Avengers"
I was like hah. yeah rightttt.
(I'm sorry I doubted you Chris Nolan)

The Dark Knight Rises is better than Avengers.

I had more squeal-y moments during the Avengers, I'll admit,
and I still love it, and everybody in it,
but TDKR is awesome on a completely different level altogether.

Plus Chris Nolan.

so.

yesh.









Okay.
Back to pelvic organ prolapses!
Because studying about how your organs fall out of your body is so fun.

I should've gone to film school.

p.s. Loki bb, I love you, I really do, but I'm afraid Detective John Blake has stolen my heart. :3

p.s.2 This is a very pretty wallpaper (that I did not make, all credit to the person who did)
