The Dark Knight

Wow! What a great film. It's definitely worth going to see. Went with my brother this afternoon, and I absolutely loved it. Really clever, and the characters were so real! You could actually relate to them, and to their dilemas. Except the Joker, but then, you're not really supposed to be able to relate to the bad guy, because otherwise you start to sympathise with him and get miffed when he's ultimately defeated. However, I really want to write a story where the reader totally cannot make up their mind about which side is the right side to support. That's what I'm trying to do with The Desert Rat, a tale of love, war and betrayal, set in 1916 and 1929, showing how the decisions characters made during the War, often impossible ones to make, affect how things turn out later on.
