Heath Ledger was an Australian actor who died due to a dangerous combination of drugs. Ledger was found in his apartment in New York on January 22, 2008, by his housekeeper and masseuse. Emergency medical services arrived on the scene at 3:33 pm, and after being unable to revive Ledger, they pronounced the actor dead at 3:36 pm. False reports immediately began surfacing, declaring that Ledger was found in Mary-Kate Olsen's apartment, who he had been casually dating in the months leading up to
Moreover, casting Heath Ledger as Ennis Del Mar and Jake Gyllenhaal as Jack Twist, was a spot on choice, for these two actors were experienced enough to play out such complex and controversial characters. In Proulx’s story, Ennis is characterized as a man of few words but with a strong sense of duty and responsibility, as he is hard working, yet he is much conserved due to his upbringing in a conservative setting of Wyoming and Heath Ledger deftly plays that role with ease and fluidity. Heath Ledger’s large
Gyllenhaal, Michael Caine, Morgan Freeman Batman (Christian Bale) is hoping to hand on his crime fighting duties to D.A Harvey Dent (Aaron Eckhart) yet when Batman’s cards are on the table the twisted mastermind who goes by the name of the joker (Heath Ledger), forces the masked vigilante to go against everything he ever stood for.

The talk about prescription painkillers prescribed by doctors are starting to be widely debated whether they’re doing more good than harm. The debate on whether painkillers are good for the human health has came into a mild and somewhat highly discussed topic within the last decade. At first prescribed painkillers were thought to be good, but these prescribed painkillers have always been like a double edge sword usually doing better than bad. The side effects from the painkillers used to be very

Knight' grossed almost $67,165,092 in its first day and went on to break countless box office records. Later the next year the film won 2 Oscars and was nominated for a further 6, one award won was the 'Best Supporting Actor' award which the late Heath Ledger posthumously received, for his portrayal of the 'Joker'. Due to Ledger's untimely death the film gained even more publicity and Heath's performance was spotlighted, many people thought this might take the focus off what might be a great film and
The Joker has been represented in two films in the last 30 years, Batman (1989) played by Jack Nicholson and The Dark Knight (2008) played by Heath Ledger. Batman’s director Tim Burton gave Nicholson’s Joker an identity outside the Joker persona: an identity that effects his motivations and the overall tone of the film as being filled with revenge. In contrast, The Dark Knight’s director Christopher Nolan focuses on the mental connection between Ledger’s Joker and Batman (Christian Bale) through
film's gravitational pull. Yet flitting through this 10-ton expressionist murk is a diseased butterfly with stringy hair and a maniacal giggle. Played by a dead actor, he's the most alive thing here. It's not quite fair to say that the late Heath Ledger steals "The Dark Knight" from Christian Bale and the forces of (problematic) good, but, as the Joker, he is the movie's animating principle and anarchic spark - an unstoppable force colliding with the immovable objects of Batman and director Christopher

This or That Right vs Wrong and Good vs Bad… We are faced with moral dilemmas every day, some are more difficult than others but it is all based on our preferences. It's what we think we should do while we are being forced to choose between two actions. All of the characters through Of Mice and Men, The Crucible, and The Dark Knight undergo situations and have their own way of doing the right thing. Out of all the characters, the dilemmas dealt with by Of Mice and Men characters were the most heartfelt
Brokeback Mountain is a book by Annie Proulx and was later adapted into a movie directed by Ang Lee. In Brokeback Mountain, the film conveys the life and secret love of two wyoming cowboys and shows the progression of their relationship through the years. I believe this film uses the characters Jack Twist and Ennis Del Mar, the setting of the story to convey typical gay life for people before the modern era. What I’ve noticed in the film is that the two main characters fit two standard archetypes
The major plot outline in both the short story and the movie The central drama and point of conflict in any love story is the obstacle between the lovers. In the best known tragic love story in Western history, Romeo and Juliet, the obstacle is their feuding families; in the classic film Casablanca it's virtue and in Brief Encounter, it's the marriage of one of the lovers. This is a story of unfulfilled love in Wyoming. Ennis and Jack, a ranch hand and an aspiring rodeo rider, work together as sheep

to use that sound to anticipate the Jokers appearance. The sound is great, it’s an electric guitar playing one note, distorted to the point that it barely sounds like a guitar. It raises the tension and keeps the audience on their toes as to when Heath will pop out. Unpredictability, again. So we’re zooming into this window in the building from that establishing shot with this droning going on when, boom, the window smashes out. Didn’t expect that did you? Unpredictability. We then then cut to the

The Midwest in the 1960’s was a completely different world than it is today. It was a time of cowboys who worked from a young, adolescent age at hands-on jobs all the way through adulthood until they became too old to do so. These men were seen as real manly fellows, and had “manly” interests. Family life in this time was the basic American visualization, with a working husband who would come home after a long day of working to his wife and children. Ennis del Mar and Jack Twist are men in this time
In her fictional works Brokeback Mountain and The Shipping News, author Annie Proulx follows the journey of Jack, Ennis, and Quoyle’s acceptance of themselves as they fight society’s ideals and struggle with a lack of family support. As they adventure into new terrain, Proulx incorporates their emotions and discoveries through the natural landscape surrounding them and expresses them through specific language choices. The traditional values of Western culture are apparent in many forms throughout
Man is constantly in a battle over physical space. Physical space has the ability to define many things in a person’s life. Where a person lives has the ability to dictate their everyday life. Literature in particular, is obsessed by the idea of physical space. The physical space that an author presents in story has the ability to create much more than a setting. Physical space has the ability to define a character and their life choices. In the novel Never Let Me Go written by Kazuo Ishiguro and
The Dark Knight: Camera Work Camera work plays a key role in establishing Nolan's style in the opening scenes of The Dark Knight. The different shots Nolan uses gives the audience a deeper understanding of the direction in which the film is going. We are introduced to the film with an establishing shot of Gotham City, as the camera zooms in on one particular building. This helps establish the location and setting, as there are several skyscrapers present and it is day time. The next important shot
