Heath Ledger: Batman's Serious Joker, "Why So seriousssah……."

As the Osacar mania settled in and the winners went backstage to celebrate the 81st Academy award, my heart stood still for few moments.

 

Of the winners list announced, I searched and landed back for the nth time on the name of one of this years Academy award winners.

 

It has been 7 years since I have not missed the Oscars, from my home television set of course, but this was the first time I was very sure of the award winner in one of the categories.

 

So sure, that when I had seen the Actors performance and was heading back home from the PVR cinema at 1:40pm night in Mulund – Mumbai, I said to my friend, “Ye saal, Ek Oscar to malum chal gaya, isko hi jayega, Kya superb performance diya re is bandhe ne” so to say, I told my friend that I was damn sure who is going to be winning one of the Academy awards this year, amazing performance it was.

 

It was the first time I stood up in between the movie to add a thunderous applause to the already amazing background score of the movie.

 

Needless to say, I watched this movie twice in the theater, for the very first time in my life, watched a movie more than once.

 

As days rolled by, I got busy with work, then one day, I heard the shocking news.

 

The Actor had passed away. He died of a drug overdose.

 

I went online, scurrying through the sites to hopefully see if it was not true, but went motionless on reading it in every website.

 

The 28 year old brilliant performer, Heath Ledger who won a million hearts with his uncanny and outstanding performance as the Joker had passed away.

I pay my humble tribute to this legend of an artist.

 

 

 

The Joker will always Live…….

    Hey.. thats so true.. HL is the best with his profound acting and character sketch. But sadly that he’d passed away even before the release of the movie though. US Release: July 08. Demise: Jan 08 giving arguably one of his best performances.
