Heath Ledger was robbed!

Rating: 9/10 (6 April 2006)

I'm sure Phillip Seymour Hoffman did a fine job in "Capote." I haven't seen it yet. But it is much easier to portray your impression of a real person than it is to create a character from scratch. Heath Ledger, as Ennis Del Mar, is one of the deepest, complex, most memorable characters that I have ever seen portrayed, on the screen or on the stage. I don't think he said 50 words throughout the whole movie but the way he carried himself, the LACK of movement that he used, really made this character come to life. I had to put the subtitles on so I could see what he was saying because the manner in which he spoke made it nearly impossible to understand what he was saying. That made Ennis all the more real.
The relationship between Ennis and Jack was so.......God, I don't have the words to describe it. I have never been so moved in my entire life. This was an amazing film, an amazing story, and even now, an hour after I've watched it, I'm still stunned.
