Simply Incredible

Rating: 10/10 (31 July 2008)

The film was awesome, but what was the deciding factor? Ledger. Heath was incredible. I can't even believe it was really him. He looks like him, like Heath, under all that makeup, but he IS the Joker. He isn't an actor portraying the Joker. He IS the Joker. He is perfect, spectacular, amazing, chilling, terrifying, beautiful.
Never will there be a more incredible performance by any actor in any role.
I hope that Heath will be remember well, as one of the bravest young actors there has ever been. For his first real breakthrough part, he took a role as a gay cowboy. A man needs to be incredibly comfortable in himself to take such a risk, and everyone should have utmost respect for the help he was able to lend to show the straight community that gay is not a disease, a defect, or a problem. It just is. And for his next breakthrough role, the Joker. Enough said.
