I hesitated to see this and I regret waiting-THIS IS HEATH LEDGER's MOVIE AND I WAS FASCINATED

Rating: 10/10 (1 July 2019)

What to say? Heath is the ONLY actor to win an Oscar for playing the protagonist. He is only the second actor to win an Oscar posthumously (funny the first Was also an Australian). I am ashamed that I always questioned Heath's win - UNTIL I saw the movie. It is an AUTHENTIC example of the finest acting I've ever seen. He fully DESERVED it. He won over Philip Seymour Hoffman, Josh Brolin and Robert Downey Jr.
His commitment to this movie shows. He had every characteristic to be a villain you love. He was smart and funny and endearing (or so you think). He apparently locked himself up for a time to get Into character (per his dad) and made a journal on "the Joker". He steals EVERY scene he is in. Christian Who? Batman Who? I can't praise him enough and am truly saddened we don't get to enjoy his talents more (him and Philip Seymour Hoffman were phenomenal actors). See this movie if you are the 1% like me who thought it may not be worth it. It is. I don't enjoy superhero movies as much as I'm older. I LOVED this one.
