One of the most anticipated movie this year is Christoper Nolan's second take on Batman - not only because of its given great cinematography, effects, Christian Bale and that this is "darker" from all the other previous Batmans we've seen but we're also curious at how the late Heath Ledger portrayed Joker.
His take on the Joker is really scary from his make up, laugh, manner of speaking and how you cannot decipher what's on his mind. Heaven knows how much Ledger studied this character that he couldn't shake it off long after he's done portraying it. I remember holding my beau's hand so tight during the scene where Joker was telling a man how he got his scars and mimicking his dad's "why so serious?"
This early, there are talks of a Best Actor Oscar for Ledger, even if some critics would say that its not going to happen. Well, you'll never know.
Aside from Ledger, the movie also boasts of such great actors - that inclue Michael Caine, Morgan Freeman and Gary Oldman. Christian Bale, so far, is the best Bruce Wayne/Batman for me. He was able to show his characters' human side - he can be lonely and vulnerable. Maggie Gyllenhaal has always given life to whatever character she tackles; thus, making her portrayal as Rachel Dawes notable. Aaron Eckhart (think No Reservation) is a pleasant surprise - playing Harvey Dent/Two Face. He sure pulled off his characters quite notably.
The Dark Knight is a celebration of an excellent work - showing that the people involved had a huge respect to the material and went as far as the "dark side".
