Late-Great Heath Ledger | The Joker - I always wanted to write since The Dark Knight !


Joker - Act for the Lifetime!
why so serious






















Heaven's Highway
Heath Ledger - A Talented Tragedy














Heath Andrew Ledger (4 April 1979 – 22 January 2008) was an Australian television and film actor, best known n remembered for his performance as JOKER in the movie, The Dark Knight. And it is this very JOKER act that has entailed me write this salutation to him.

Saw this movie 3 times in Theatre, downloaded from torrent 4 times to get the clearest print possible [So, if somebody reading it out has not yet seen it, do get it from me] n there i have it on my laptop - the most precious thing i would take backup of, when some malfunction demands for an OS format.

Here are some of his famous quotes/lines from the movie,

  • Why so serious?
  • And i thought my jokes were bad
  • Let's put a smile on that face
  • All you care about is money, this town deserves a better class criminal
  • U see m a guy of simple taste, i enjoy dynamite, gun powder n gasoline...
For those who have not seen the movie yet, i would suggest them to do so - after all, the movie broke many box office records. Moreover, the music director for the movie is again a maestro - Hans Zimmer, the most important aspect for the music being the feel of tension building up in plot as movie paces ahead.

Ledger has been nominated for a posthumous Golden Globe Award for Best Supporting Actor - Motion Picture [To be announced on January 11, 29] - And finally he has got it!!!, Dark Knight Director Christopher Nolan accepted the statuette on his behalf. Also, the fan club hopes for a posthumous Oscar - And again he bagged it - JOKER is now an Academy award winner. And btw he is also a winner of Best Actor International Award at the 2008 Australian Film Institute awards.
