Recently, I have seen a movie called Batman by Tim Burton. I love this movie because it was the first Batman movie in the series and Michael Keaton acts as Batman throughout the entire movie. There are great actors in this film with a lot of experience in the film industry, such as Jack Nicholson, who plays the Joker. The plot and theme of the story are dark and mysterious, as there are many scary scenes in the movie. This movie is a superhero movie that means a lot to me because every time I watch it reminds me of my childhood. When I was eight years old, I used to dress up as Batman for Halloween and my interest in superheroes has never disappeared over the years. I think superhero movies have good messages to tell and are much easier to relate to than people think. Batman is a great representation of how people should be caring and helpful to others. Watching superhero movies reminds me of all real-life superheroes, like cops and firefighters, who risk their lives every day for us.

The film was made in 1989. I think the film had excellent sound and graphics effects that resembled those of the television show. The angles and surroundings of the city seemed gloomy and dark, adding great aesthetics. The structure of the movie was excellent as there was a lot of background information and anecdotal stories told about the origins of how the Joker and Batman were created. The focus on how these people were created really intrigued me. The written script for the movie is exciting. Lots of action and dialogue in the movie, but I wished they had better lighting and clarity for some of the scenes in the movie for more clarity. However, I can't complain because this filter makes a good narrative that relates to superheroes and villains. My favorite part of this movie was when the Joker fell into the tub of acid that burned his face during the Batman-Joker fight.

At the beginning of the movie, the joker attempts to become the mayor of Gotham City and take control of the city with corruption and crime. The joker provides attacks and illegal business through Gotham until Batman tries to stop his madness. The joker has poisoned most of the city with his commercial products that flooded the city. Batman had to end his power before it was too late. The Gotham people at one point envisioned Batman as a villain and not a hero because people were confused and knew nothing about him. Soon to find out that was not the case. Fortunately, Batman is always faithful to his citizens and helped save the day as he always does. I enjoy how Batman is a human without ordinary superpowers. However, he has the passion and determination that everyone should try to achieve.

In conclusion, I have seen this movie many times and it keeps getting better and better. Tim Burton is one of my all-time favorite directors because I love his dark themes and life messages mentioned in his narratives, like in my example from the movie called "Big Fish". I liked this movie best of all the Tim Burtons movies. I try to incorporate the traits and personalities of superheroes into my everyday life as I hope to help people with whatever they end up doing in the future. The motivation I get from watching Batman movies is like any other.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
