Great performance

Rating: 7/10 (21 July 2009)

I have to admit that I am not a big fan of comic-book movies. The main reason that I decided to watch " The Dark Knight" was my deep respect for Heath Ledger and his rare talent. While the movie surprised me with creativity and spark of originality, it is the performance of the late actor that will stay with me. Brilliant, manic and more than slightly demented energy of his character was just a right fit for this bleak and disturbing film.In a strange way it symbolizes the weird and unpredictable times we live in. The rules are rapidly changing, and none of us is sure anymore what might befall us next. Here comes Mr. Ledger's Joker as a twisted prophet of the future madness that could become the norm for survival.
