in the past few days everything has been revolving around the release of the dark knight. everywhere i looked there were posters, ticket sellers, trailers, people talking about seeing the movie, or going to buy tickets or previous batman movies. mostly though it's been about heath ledger and his brilliant performance. it messes with your mind.
i've read somewhere that it's like james dean. he left this world when his time was only beginning. and his work has only scratched the surface of his talent. i was amazed with his performance in "brokeback mountain". it takes a great actor to lead such a difficult story and get away with it. like tom hanks in "cast away" i guess. i thought of it just now. when i walked to the theatre just a couple of hours ago, there was this creepy feeling running up and down my spine. he was only 28. heath ledger. i'm living just a few blocks away from the appartment where it happened and i just cannot shake this feeling. even now. months later. i just can't do it.
before i saw dark knight i had two favourite villains: johnny depp as sweeney todd, and before that jim carrey as the riddler. the joker, portrayed by heath ledger is truly a deep, dark, deadly and most scary villain ever. i mean, people clapped during the movie whenever he was doing a scene. he never lost character not even for one second. not to blow your steem with spoilers let me just say that it's a great performance by a great talent that unfortunately left us before his time.

nice piece on the dark knight and ledger as well.. i was disappointed at the end of the movie, only because i know ledger wouldnt be around for the third in the series.
