Death Of The Joker

Heath Ledger died last night.

This was an unexpected death. Authorities claims his death was accidental, that he unintentionally ingested a medicine with the wrong dosage. I personally was surprised and devastated when I heard the news this morning. I just adore him in every film that he did. He is one of those they call "character actor", and among the young ones that really has huge potential to make it really big in Hollywood.

Of course, everyone was anticipating the next Batman film, not because of Bale, but because of Ledger's outstanding portrayal of The Joker.

It's all over the news and a lot had been written and said about Heath Ledger and his tragic death, but I am struck with this message from Michelle Williams' (Heath's former flame and the mother of his daughter, Matilda) father:

"I think [poet] Tennyson got it right in the poem when he described someone as having died at a young age but burning the candles at both ends, and oh what a beautiful flame he made, that was Heath, what a beautiful flame he made and a great talent."
