In Memory of Heath Ledger / Re: Heath Ledger - In Loving Memory
« Last post by froggy on Jan 30, 2022, 12:06 PM »
Christopher Nolan reflects on Heath Ledger’s Joker in The Dark Knight on the 10th anniversary of Heath’s death:

“…He would sort of give me hints about what he was going to do. We would talk about it a bit. And I would try and be an audience for him and sort of engage with him, what he was doing. But a lot of it was about unpredictability, and I think he wanted to play his cards close to the chest. He would very gradually reveal to me the ‘voice’ and the way he was going to do things – but not in one go, like, ‘Here’s the Joker.’

“We watched him sort of develop it, with the wardrobe and the makeup, and I kind of got to be a part of that creative process, which was great fun, but on-set, there were always moments like that clapping or things he would do with his voice. His voice was so unpredictable. He created this bizarre pitch. I’ve seen a lot of people try and imitate it since. But we never quite knew if he was going to go high or if he was going to go low. You never knew what that guy was going to do, and that’s what was terrifying about him.”

“I took huge pride in having been in any way involved with this great performer and his legacy. He was an extraordinary person and an extraordinary actor. And for him to be recognized in that way, I think, was very meaningful for his family and meaningful, I think, for film history. What he contributed, and he contributed in many different ways to film history, but that it be marked in that way, I was very proud to be a part of it.”

Was lovely to read this again

Ethan,
Thank you so much.  This site is so important to many of us -- not only because it exists but that we know there is a place where we can talk about how important this movie was in our lives.
Happy, Happy, Happy.

I absolutely agree with that. As much as I consumed countless fanfics back in the day, I never wanted the SS/movie to change. Those were simply a respite from the sometimes painful reality of BBM. The unanswered questions led us here where we had many great and insightful discussions. For some of us in exploring this story we explored ourselves and it helped to strengthen and heal us to varying degrees. This is not just a movie/story, it's something real, palpable; in an odd way there is beauty in the tragedy, if that makes sense.

Makes perfect sense. Very well expressed.  :)

;D never enough time. You are right about the deleted garage scene. I have forgotten about it. Like you, I want them to have a sweet life. I guess if they did, the movie probably would not have had strong impacts. The movie did leave a lot of questions unanswered but that is the beauty of movie.

Nothing.

As for the film: just release all the DELETED SCENES from the screenplay!!!!

There ain't never enough time, never enough...

I don't know if I'd change anything.  I want them to have that sweet life and for Jack not to be dead but their story as told through the movie and SS sparked so many thoughtful discussions here.

If I had to pick something :s) I guess I'd want to see the deleted garage scene from the trailer added in so I'd have a better idea if Jack was murdered or died accidentally. I believe and always did that he was murdered; I still have a hard time watching that scene. That being said, I think the not truly knowing inserts us further into their story and most especially Ennis' pain after Jack's death.
