Why We Fall???

10:20 PM 6/17/2005

Saw The movie "Batman Begins" with my Brother and Cousin earlier. Initially I asked two other person to join me and my brother but like a premonition I knew that they would decline. I dont mind. I just want to let them know that I want to see the movie with them - I guess.

I won't write a movie review just yet, not that i intend to. I want absorb the concepts and abstracts that the movie presented deeper, which usually happens after I saw the movie too many times that some lines start to sink in and I sort of memorize them, thats when I get inspired to draw a parallel to my life and write. This is how I internalize a movie. Its my way of drawing strenght and perspective out of a motion picture.

I must say that there are lines that left me blown away, in tears, and enlightened. There are scences that I related to. The scene that is still now in my head is the time when young Bruce Wayne was talking with his dad. This is when his dad said (may not be verbatim) "the reason we fall is so that we can stand up and learn."

I have fallen so many times. I have been hurt and wallowed in my sorrow but one thing is true. We learn to pick up the pieces and stand. I learned to see beyond my current status. I learned.
