Batman : The Dark Knight

WOW. I’d say the best batman movie ever. (ok. so far. ‘coz there might be another one in the future) but still, it was really astounding. It’s modern, virtually-arresting, jaw-dropping, superb cast and story line, not to forget there are a lot of heart-racing scenes that made the movie more thrilling.

why so serious?

And another WOW for Mr. Heath Ledger's performance, it was really remarkable. Joker gave me goosebumps! I was so amused and frightened at the same time while watching him piss off everyone’s sorry asses in the gotham city. And I personally think he's out-jokered Jack Nicholson's long-held title by far, since Heath has taken Joker’s character to another level with more depths of emotion and complexity. Geez hands down to you Mr. Ledger, it’s just kinda sad to think that you can’t play Joker again for the next Batman movie.

the dark knight ...

Well also a big applause to director Christopher Nolan for doing a great job on this movie (but I still love you Mr. Tim Burton hehe). And in addition this was the first time that I admired Batman’s character, (thanks to Christian Bale ) because before, I love batman’s villains more than him haha. Well Mr. Bale also deserves some round of applause in his performance in this movie.

Even though Heath Ledger passed away, I read some scoop from the internet in which we can find out some of what Ledger went through in portraying the dark clown thanks to FHM (I just don’t know which FHM mag that is). It was said that the magazine had an interview with Ledger last year and here's some of what he had to say of the role he considered the "most fun [he's] had."

"I just locked myself away and formed a little diary and experimented with voices… I ended up making him within the realm of a psychopath kind of like zero empathy or very little to no conscience towards his acts which is fun because there's no real limits on their boundaries to what he would say or how he would say something or what he would do… it's always a very personal process in terms of how you land in your characters shoes, so to speak, it's a combination of reading all the comic books I could and the script, and then just really closing my eyes and meditating on it. Chris and I very much see eye to eye on how the character should be played, and that was evident from the first kind of meeting we had on the project. We both had identical images in our minds and so I went away, found it, came back." –Heath Ledger

He really makes it sound so easy but of course for everyone who had seen the movie it was not easy at all. Personally I think this is Ledger’s best performance throughout his career. Too bad one of the best villain ever is gone.

let's put a smile on that face ...
