Journal 2: Great movie -The Dark Knight

Although many people probably do, I don’t have a favorite movie. A movie I do like though is The Dark Knight. The Dark Knight is about Batman trying to take down his evil villain the Joker. What makes me like this movie is more so the formal elements in the film like the acting. The actor that plays the Joker is Heath Ledger and I think he did a very good job. To play the role he needed to have a dark personality that would match the part perfectly. Heath took on the challenge of being the Joker and in doing so might have made the wrong choice. Although he did a great job, it may have been too dark for him. It could have made him feel and think that way all the time while creating the movie. In my opinion it could have been what led him to overdose and kill himself. The bad thoughts and everything that the joker would do, could have taken over his own personality and way of thinking overall making Heath depressed.  As bad as it is for him to have passed away, possibly from his roles personality, Heath Ledger did a great job as the Joker in the movie.
