"Because some men aren't looking for anything logical, like money. They can't be bought, bullied, reasoned or negotiated with. Some men just want to watch the world burn."

It's a scary world out there. Now, more than ever, it's scary. Criminals of the past are not what they are now. Back then, criminals had motives. They had goals, desires, rage, envy, vengeance to be repaid. Presently, there is a new generation of criminals. Criminals that kill just for the thrill of it. For no apparent reason. Criminals that ram airplanes into towers. Criminals that just want to watch the world burn. Christopher Nolan's movie, The Dark Knight, harnesses the essence of this new criminality and puts it into terms that the general public can understand. He puts Heath Ledger into the role of the Joker, a man who knows no boundaries and just "wants to watch the world burn." It is difficult to try and understand how people could just want to kill for fun. The movie brings about a frustrating thought that people just simply are not born with empathy or compassionate in their bodies and do not care about anything or anyone. And this is a world, that I do not want to be a part of.
