RIP Heath Ledger

The mania of Batman has set upon us with an unanimous song of praise for one actor the late Heath Ledger.The drug over dose untimely death of the Joker created more hype to an already anticipated movie which promised to delievr after a superb prequel- Batman Brgins.Insiders started whispering that Heath's perfomance was going to deliver him an oscar and surely it can. I wasnt quite sure whether the people were sympathetically trying to make his perfomance look out of this world after his demise. I could have downloaded it via torrent but I waited to see it on the 70mm screen paying a tribute to Mr.Ledger.The last movie I watched in which he starred was Brokeback Mountain.Ang Lee's film making waqs impeccable and Jake Gyllenhaal ate Heath's perfomance on screen but the man potrayed his character with some charm.Some of my friends couldnt understand what he was talkin which is the country cow boy tongue,but honestly people who thought he couldnt talk take a look at the Dark Knight. Now Im an avid Bat man and all comics made into flicks follower,but after Batman Begins I knew that the Dark Knight like its predecessor would take the comic book essence out and potrya real human emotions.Love,greed,jealously,redemption,revenge etc the Batman Begins flick was all about Bruce Wayne and his emotions rising above everything in the world,right from the first scene where he is fighting inmates in a Chinese jail.

The dark knight is all about the joker.Jack Nicholson played Joker in the first batman flick,but the Dark Knight makes all the comic book into Movies look like bull shit.

Heath Ledger has taken the funny Joker's role so seriously that he doesnt need to act,its that effortless.In the firdst Bat flick,theres a lotta nonsense on how Joker becomes Joker and there are some stupid scenes where he makes every chick in gotham look like him.But in the dark Knight,theres a scenes where Heath holds this thug and his expressions in that scene are just mind blowing.The joker is as psychotic as Ive ever seen any mad man,and the way Heath handles his walk,talk and other minute things like tilting his head and flashing his tongue is just commendable.The filming,screenplay,direction by Chris Nolan is good,we knew that.He's made Memento which is the inspiration or rather it is copied as Ghajini.

But if not for anything watch the Joker come alive and send a chill down your spine.

Are the human emotions that dark?I think so after watching the dark knight.

May your soul rest in peace Heath Ledger.Thank you for giving us the Joker,in an avtar that I didnt expect at all.
