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.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here.
