that's redundant, so because i haven't read the reviews i don't know the subject well enough to comment, the fact I've followed every news bit, every viral every leaked image, and posts a lot on these boards shows i have enough information to post my views
i avoided reviews mainly cause the majority i read for BB basiclly ruined the entire film, i knew about the joker card before going to the film, this time i want to be surprised.
again i never said or even hinted that ledger has turned in a bad performance, from what i have seen he has nailed some aspects of the character but i'm waiting to see the entire film before i make a full judgement, all i did was enquired on peoples opinions on weather this new oscar buzz in the mainstream media would have happened is ledger had not passed.
You’re over analyzing my comment.
All I mean is if you haven’t read the reviews then you wouldn’t know what it is exactly that they love so much about his performance and why they believe it may be Oscar worthy. If you read all the reviews obviously you would have an idea of why they think he’s deserving of it.
-To argue with others in general
4. main points
-Nomination can arguable be pointed out to be out of sympathy but a win Cannot.
-The world isnt so influencial every critic is not gonna agree for "hyping" reasons, if they just they love ledger then okay: maybe, but they all love this movie aswell .
-The bar isnt so high ATM
-Premature Oscar talks b4 death\footage\movie and after movie have little to no effect on the academy maybe some on the critics.
I dont believe it is all coincidental that each an every critic loves the movie and rave about it and its performances is all due to sympathy and hype. So if the movie is so good, obviously the acting has to be up there. Ledgers performance is what’s making the movie so much better for most critics, but they still say they love the movie, most have rated it the best this year.
Also what else do we have this year to rave about? There are not many performances that stand out at this moment, at least none to the masses.
All this conversation is premature from us, critics everyone:
BUT! Just because fans were talking about Oscar this, that, before we saw footage and even BEFORE he died. That shouldn’t be a point for those who don’t think he’s NOT Oscar worthy to use against his him, one has nothing to do with the other. Critics rarely give their opinions to agree with the masses and at that I highly doubt they would ALL do that. Nor ALL of them doing it out of just sympathy, some may but I don’t see them raving about the ledgers performance AND the whole movie if that. There have been critics who were expecting not to like the movie a couple who didn’t like BB even said they liked it. The movie blog critic walked in not expecting to like ledger as much as others as B4hand there was alot of hype. They all came out with the same opinion that the Hype is real, it is a great movie and will meet or exceed your expectations, and 95% of the reviews main praise for the film is Ledger (thus far).
I don’t believe that this is such a coincidental world that the critics AND academy agree that his performance is Oscar worthy (IF it turns out that way), that it is all done out of sympathy. Again just a nomination can arguably point to that conclusion and a win can smash it! As there have been 7 nominees and only 1 has won.
