Will the Joker role immortalize Heath Ledger?

Question

His portrayal of the Joker in the Dark Knight was so incredible it made a good movie great and was most probably the best performance of his life, will this film be talked about in 5-10 years time?

Answer 1

Definetly this film will be talked about for years and years. It's an amazing movie with an awsome storyline and most important great actors. This movie has now officially been printed in the human mind and u cannot erase something that has been printed. lol

I have not seen or heard one person who has not liked the movie. not one

and if there r any they must have some psychological problems going on. or the wires in their brains have been cut off and cannot function properly.

rofl

so yea

R.I.P. Heath Ledger <33333333333333333

Answer 2

Absolutely!

I think that it is a blessing that the media has (for the most part) given his stunning performance the massive acclaim that it so deserves. I cringe when I hear people say that his performance is only getting so much buzz because he died, because anyone who has seen the movie knows that just isn't true. It is such a shame that he died, but his portrayal of the Joker will unquestionably go down in history.

RIP, Heath. ♥

Answer 3

How much is Jack Nicholson as Joker?

That's how much Heath Ledger will be mentioned.

Answer 4

Likely. Dying, as you said makes people quite famous. Nirvana wasnt nearly as big till Kurt died. Same with many other bands and actors.

Answer 5

definitely! this was for sure the joker's movie! and i'm so glad people got to know Heath's talent...even tho he was incredible in Brokeback Mountain, people are ridiculously ashamed to watch that so they could have never seen what an incredible actor he was. He was also a great person. Just like Michelle Williams(his ex) said...people could never see the sensitive and vulnerable side of him because of his looks n how mascular and strong he was percieved but only in his roles people could see that side of him. what a shame we had to lose as great of a celebrity as him...and he hated the spot light too.

Answer 6

I should say definitely. Film is the only medium that people believed would truly give you any kind of full-fledged "immortality" (hearing and seeing etc.), so there's no doubt.

Take how much he's been talked about in the past two MONTHS for goodness' sake. And when he died, it turned from a great performance to a great malevolent performance, almost unintentionally giving the Joker sickening reality and mystique, at least for me. I would've loved the portrayal just as much had he lived to tell the tale, it's just that when he left the Joker was like, literally scaring me.

But look at all the other great performances of all-time, they'll continue to be talked about because there are always the fans and industries that'll endure, his performance is dubbed as the "best villain of all-time", people don't just say that. And hey, doing something as good as he did, there's really nothing stopping him. :)

Answer 7

Yes I think so it one of the best movies of all time.  

Answer 8

well maybe when people who are comic book geeks now force their children to watch it

Answer 9

I really hope so, he went out with a bang - like Kurt Cobain did...His highest point of his career. I'm sure we will never be allowed to forget him

RIP HL
