Why so Serious...

Why SO Serious...

One of my all time favourite movies would definitely be the Dark night. The moral battles that people in the movie are constantly forced to choose between are simply genius! 
of course the centre peice, the driving force behind the movie is non other than the Joker... Heath Ledger.

So the Joker is creepy, Something that is even creepier but at the same time absolutely intriguing is the role that an actor assumes while playing a certain role. Playing the evil, schizophrenic Joker that lacked empathy and killed had turned the world famous actor Heath Leadger into a different man. He couldn't sleep without drugging himself, he had a hard time eating and he found himself making a diary of things the joker would find funny to get into the characters mindset. 

My Rabbi in a speech today mentioned that not one Jew escaped Egypt when they were enslaved. This seems very strange, its not like the security was much stronger back then and these people's lives were miserable! The Egyptians had us building entire cities and then tear them down right after- WHY ON EARTH DID THEY NOT TRY TO RUN AWAY?

Like Heath Ledger getting trapped in the facade he was playing,  the jewish people were so entrapped in their role as slaves, and in the life that they were living that they didn't even try to escape. 

Sometimes in life we get so caught up in everything that we are scared of trying something new, or breaking free from our day to day lives. change is never comfortable, but don't limit yourself because you are scared of stepping out of the boundaries! There is a great country song out there that says "The good lord gave us mountains so we can learn how to climb."

Life is short and growth is uncomfortable.. Who cares if your life now is all you ave ever known, your parents aren't supporting your growth or even you are scared of standing out and being different.
Escape.
