Batman Begins
This has turned out to be one of my favorite movies unexpectedly. Growing up, we had a lot of Batman movies and merchandise at home because my older brother was obsessed with Batman when we were kids. I did enjoy all the movies and loved Adam West on TV too. :)
Later, as an adult, I watched Batman Begins and I was so surprised at how much I related to many aspects of the character of Bruce Wayne, relationships with his family and his upbringing in that movie in an uncanny way. I love that movie — it is one of my favorite movies of all time.
One of my favorite scenes was after Bruce falls down into the bat cave and his dad pulls him out and carries him back home.
Still from Batman Begins
His dad says, “Why do we fall down, Bruce?” and Bruce looks at him, and the dad replies, “So we can learn to pick ourselves up.”
It’s the most amazing thing really — I feel that I needed to hear that myself this past week. It’s perfect. I hope it helps you in some way.
