Heroism, Tragedy: Dark Knight, Alex Teves. Dark Knight Rises Thoughts
So back in 2008 I worked at a video store, I went to see The Dark Knight, (the second in the trilogy) Heath Ledgers final performance (as he had died before it's opening) as the Joker and boy was it amazing. In some ways over the years I became a movie critic as when you work at a video store you get to watch everything. And Dark Knight is definitely very high quality material, a movie that I have watched time and time again, a movie I was so excited about showing some friends who had never seen it even by 2011!. Anyway today I asked my dad to come and see the final in the trilogy with me after reading the awful news about a horrible tragedy in a Colorado cinema, but boy was I paranoid! I never mentioned this incident to Father as I don't want to make him any more paranoid than he can be. Sometimes our thoughts take hold of us, the older we get the more we seem to decline with thoughts of delusion, it seems to be a tenancy in our family with my passed grandma. Anyway I thought this might be the last chance me and my dad go to a movie together (since it seems like we only go to the movies once every ten years together), so we ended up going. I thoroughly enjoyed this movie, I still believe the second one was the best, but there is no way I could miss this movie, as I have waited four years and it never ceases to amaze me watching the psychology of a true hero, a person who fights for a symbol, an idea that can never be defeated. Unfortunately James Holmes must have lost hold of this, as it's movies like this that should of shown people like James the very heart of a hero and love of his people.
In the description of the murderer James Holmes, I noticed he was a very isolated person who left university, was dumped by his girlfriend and was being kicked out of his house, a person who played video games, someone who lost touch with reality. I myself tend to be more introverted and so I could identify with him in some level. I have also lost a girlfriend, I have also left tertiary education, I have also been asked to leave several houses for various reasons, I also played video games, I also can be isolated, the intensity, pressure and suffering can build up. As someone who is fascinated by psychology I am wondering where things went wrong and what causes actions such as these? Here is a video of Holmes speaking at a camp back when he was 18, a shy but intelligent person (like many of us):
We godless agnostics/atheists are not all heartless. Words cannot express and tears have swelled up a few times, how deeply saddened this has made me. Although one nice thing came out of this, the victims got to meet Christian Bale:
Perhaps in the following documentary one of the following diagnosis matches James Holmes. The following documentary is a must watch, for those interested in psychology and superheroism and the dark knight himself!
There was one hero in this whole incident: Alex Teves, a living batman, the man who saved his girlfriend and covered her up and protected her. Read more about him and the other innocent victims including a six year old girl here.
One of the key defining characteristics or features of a superhero is found in all the greatest fictional or non-fictional superhero characters who put their own lives on the line time after time, never ask for praise or thanks or worship, they just do it out of their own sense of moral duty and obligation. Superhero's are always humble (except you Ironman!) and they expect nothing in return even when they are considered villians or bad guys by the citizens, a great man like Alex inbound knew his situation was incoming death but faced death head on, that's what a hero is.
This is a big shout out to all the real life superheroes like Alex Teves, people like you will never be forgotten. I wish I had the balls of a hero like this.
Here is my flowers to his family, girlfriend and friends:
I hope you find the hero inside.
Everyone has one
