Probably the most die hard fans of the hollywood would undoubtedly point to the best villain of all the time(written in 2013) is "The Joker". He don't have any super powers(except a magic trick which was mind blowingly awesome). But he single handedly took apart and ripped up the hard work of Christian Bale and rode all over the movie with human psychology. Not many would not have cared about his name but everyone love the joker. I have seen more profile pics of him in twitter, facebook, google+ than christian bale for sure. That more or less summarizes it.
In the movie eventually the joker wins but the truth was hidden to the city by batman and gordon, which takes us to the next part. Do all of us are really ugly inside ? which might be truth accepted only by bold ones and the ones who doesn't actually care. The point is very simple everyone around you need something from you and that's why they are staying around you. the things they want from you makes them more classified. love,money,sex down goes the order.
This post is about joker and his performance in two movies which i have seen heather ledger acted. Firstly i saw "Broke Back Mountain" in which he had acted as a gay. He was so soft in that movie and even like so much of an art film which gives you more chance to work he did his work. But The Dark Knight turned out ot be his last before death and his master piece and the one challenging the actors and directors ahead. I really don't see Christopher Nolan increasingly showing a villain of greater stature in The Dark Knight Rises, which I am yet to see.
But joker was not found in one day. He has been there spoiling and terribly making fun of super heroes all the time for their time of existence. His character has been developed by all the writers all the time. He is not any odd scientific mistake he is just(?) an psychopath, that makes him available on any city. Its a performance which made us believe that every one have an ugly side and a single man can make a whole city run scared, which have happened many a time here in india.
Many would say it would be very easy to perform with a mask on. But i can assure it should have been a hell of thing to do "The Joker". Everyone knows which made the movie a great success. It you
