The Batman

This has unexpectedly become one of my comfort films when it seems like the world is ending. Why though? Over the past couple of months I’ve gotten into unexpected situations that have caused me to reflect more on myself and how cynical and selfish and angry I can be. I won’t get too much into that right now as it’s personal and as I’m typing this review it’s another rough night but for now I will say this…this film is about a broken boy who starts the movie imperfect, scarred, angry, vengeful… and ends the film still imperfect and even more scarred but as a man who’s willing to push forward into uncertainty with the understanding that things can get worse but with the hope that things can get better by becoming that hope. This film, to me, is a caring hand reaching out; and if the crew who made this film believe in me, I can too. “This is a film about children and the world that failed them. A film about trauma and rage and grief. A film about punishment and vengeance. A film about a boy who lost his father. This is a film about beginnings; this is a film about hope.”  - StoryStreet via: YouTube
