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.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week.
