Heath Ledger's portrayal of the role of "The Clown" is deeply rooted in people's hearts, and his interpretation is extremely successful, completely surpassing Christian Bale's "Batman". His personal charm made me so fascinated by villains for the first time, and my eyes were completely attracted by clowns, which also changed my view of American superhero movies from the bottom of my heart. I remember that after watching it for a while, I often put "Why is it so serious?" As a mantra.
Unfortunately, on June 22nd, 2008, 28-year-old Heath Ledger was found dead in her apartment in new york. Before the dark knight was released, the coroner said he died of an accidental overdose. He took six different painkillers and sedatives. There are different opinions about whether Heath Ledger was the cause of death. There is a rumor that I agree with most. In order to better interpret the "clown", Heath Ledger stayed alone in a hotel room for a month, analyzing the psychological state, posture and voice of the character.
I think it is precisely because he is so immersed in the world of clowns that he is not playing the "clown" in or out of the play, but living the "clown" into himself. The character of "clown" itself is very painful, depressed, complicated and crazy. I wanted to, but I was totally immersed in the role, and so was Heath Ledger at that time. Perhaps only by choosing death can he really get rid of the pain caused by the clown.
