Yesterday we watched THE DARK KNIGHT, the reason Grapes did not watch this movie is the same reason that everybody has to watch it, because it is so great. Actually Great is not even qualified to describe this movie and Heath Ledger's performance. The role The Joker, is one of a kind and Heath has always been Christopher Nolan's one and only choice for the role.
Because he is fearless.In preparation for his role as The Joker, Heath Ledger hid away in a motel room for about six weeks. During this extended stay of seclusion, Ledger delved deep into the psychology of the character.
Heath is fearless, he has the guts to play a homosexual cow boy in Ann Lee's 1960s movie. He has the guts to take the role in a high school movie and made it probably one of the coolest real meaning characters in the whole high school history. And he did it again in 2001 played a hard rock knight. He has the guts to be Bob Dylan,a hero, Casanova, a hero, Jacob Grimm, a hero. The three combine makes everyone's childhood, youth and fantasy.
Heath Ledger is a hero. His spirit is so strong , you heard it while Oscar presenting his performance. No sadness, No sorrow. You only listening, because you know he was listening. "Nothing has ever change, just simply transformed" if that's it, we'd think heath has never left.
You get to live pal, like Audrey Hepburn and Paul Newman, you all live with us. Hey do you know that people are saying that the opening scene of THE DARK KNIGHT is the coolest five minutes ever in movie history? that you are the very first performer to win an Oscar for acting in a comic movie-adaptation. That the movie made more money than Batman Begins entire domestic run in only 6 days of release. What? You don't care about any of these? Alright. We think that Your performance beat the odds and topped Jack Nicholson's Joker from Batman. Also in Sir Michael Caine's opinion. That's right. Pal! You are the best.
