This, ladies and gentlemen was the birth of the most brilliant actor that hollywood has seen in recent times....sadly enough the actor who departed soon offscreen. How many times have you watched a movie and come out cheering for the villian, how many times has the villian generated whistles from the audience, how many times have you watched a movie wishing that the villian wins, killing and destroying all that he wants to, this is where it happens..this is jokerworld.
Or rather Ledgerworld. He steals the show from every other character in this movie...I could not help but wish he went on and on with his psychological dialogues, maniacal antics and carving that smile with his knife on his victims faces "why so seriousss?" It is definitely rare and very stunning to find an actor expand his role and go beyond the original character , the joker from the movie is infinitely more deeper and darker than the one from the comic book...this is not easy mind you...I have watched all those movies adapted from the books and the comics alike, and always felt that the actor barely filled up the original character you imagined while reading the book or the comic , but ledger not only did that , he went way beyond it and left the original character a pale version of its onscreen portrayal!! Sadly , we wont be lucky enough to see this man in any movie now, but the joker deserves a standing departure and this movie was definitely something that he was destined to do before he died. Infact ,it wont be wrong to say that he left at about the right time , when the world is wowing over his movie , and left them hungry, left before he fell again from the peak as does everyone...or in his own words as he says in the movie "A hero dies early as a hero or lives long enough to see himself become a villian!" , luckily, he has died a hero!!
