Creative juices cascaded around my mind upon my return from the midnight screening of The Dark Knight Rises yesterday. After cozying up under the covers, I put thought to notepad and scribbled the ideas most prone to rapid dissipation for the sake of their preservation and called it a night. It was, after all, 4:07 AM.
I woke to a beautiful day. The marine layer was long gone- it packed its bags and headed elsewhere. The start of this glorious day I planned to spend whipping up my review of the film. However, after checking text messages and news headlines I felt the wind was knocked out of me. I am still reeling from the story- perhaps to a greater degree than many as the shooting happened to close to my hometown. As my mother noted, I could have easily been there. But I wasn't.
My heart reaches out in pure sorrow to the individuals affected by the shooting. At the moment, my shaken mentality prevents me from writing and releasing a review injected with a tone that would juxtapose the horror of Aurora's shooting. The film itself will, for at least a while, have a tainted reputation. I will write about it later, but for the moment, I think refraining is a matter of respect. Humaity shows us the cruelty of which it is capable. Now we need to come together in our support as a nation and combat that with compassion.
