BATMAN BEGINS

Last month I just borrowed an old movie named Batman Begins. It’s not very old, though it was released in 2002. As the others movie I have ever watched, it contains Hero, Mentor, and Shadow. These three characters are always related to the other. Generally, action movie tells about Hero’s Journey. In the movie “Batman Begins”, the Hero decided to become poor people and he travels to Special World to fight for justice and righteousness. According to Joseph Campbell, Hero’s Journey is divided into two parts: outward journey and Inward journey

Unfortunately, he trapped and fell down into the well where the bat attacked him as they fly out of the well. Because of this accident, he becomes trauma and he feels afraid of bat.

One day, on this mother’s birthday, his father asked Bruce and his mother to go out to see opera. When he saw the dancer who looks like a bat-like demon, he became frightened, and then he begs to his parents leave the opera building early. On the way back they saw a bandit who asked for the money and the Jewelry which is a birthday gift for Bruce’s mother.

One week later, he accepts Henri’s offer and he starts to travel to Himalaya in order to get training from Henri, his mentor. After he gets out from the jail, he starts to undergo his journey to Himalaya. He comes back after almost seven years there and practice with Ninja and Henri Ducard.
