I love everything that is Batman. Ask anybody who knows me. However, The Dark Knight is not about Christian Bale's role of Batman, but instead, Ledger's portrayal of The Joker. Ahhh....The Joker. The Clown we love to hate.
Heath Ledger dished out an incredible performance and turned The Joker into the most evil and creepiest villain I have ever seen. Yes- in my opinion, this Joker has Darth Vader beat.
Being someone who suffers from (self diagnosed) acute coulrophobia, I found Ledger's performance to be very dark and disturbing. I loved it. The scars on his face, his greasy hair, his odd oral ticks, his love of knives, his hate of mankind, and his laughter when experiencing pain, all made me squirm in my seat.
Heath Ledger has left behind an amazing piece of art, and one that can never be reproduced or continued. That is a sad.
I found out last week that a favorite cousin of mine has been given an unfavorable diagnosis from his doctors. His specialist doesn't think that has long to dance. Sometimes, beautiful lives are cut short by stupid reasons. They're not equitable, reasonable, or understandable. Just stupid.
Nothing endures but change~
