Jared Leto IS The Joker - Part 9

[regwec]

Yes and what's more, it is probably his best performance. Its greater recognition shouldn't be suppressed through some kind of sentimental repudiation of the craft behind it.

 

[The Shape]

I'd say it is his greatest performance, though a case could be for Brokeback Mountain. He was great in that.

 

[Boom]

I think that's mostly on Nolan. Almost all of his films leave a lot to be desired as far as bonus material is concerned.

TDK Trilogy Collectors Edition was a step up, but they brushed over Heath's Joker pretty quickly, if I recall.

 

[Greens]

I'm surprised they even showed that clip of Joker on the school bus after the hospital explosion.

 

[Rodrigo90]

To me, it was such a small thing, but such a huge deal. I felt privileged just to see that.

 

[ThePhantasm]

Time heals all.

Batman disagrees.

 

[regwec]

I still haven't seen the school bus clip.

 

[Greens]

I still haven't seen the school bus clip.

What are you waiting for?

 

[regwec]

An inclination, I suppose. I'll try to find out online at some point.

I'd say TDK is for sure his greatest performance. I mean as we all already know the outcome etc. But he put it all on the table and gave the performance everything he had. He just went above and beyond with the role.

I still haven't seen the school bus clip.

School bus clip?

 

[Boom]

You have to admire Heath's focus in that scene. Exploding debris all around him and just just keeps walking, never breaking character. And when he gets off the bus, he doesn't look back.

You mean when he gets on the bus

 

[regwec]

What a coincidence. (Please ignore the crappy "journalism" of The Daily Mail).

I would love to see that book in facsimile, perhaps with annotations citing where it influenced the performance seen in the finished movie.

 

[Greens]

Yeah, for some reason that clip is making headlines even though it's from 2013.

 

[MasterChief2829]

That's interesting, did Heath contribute to the script at all or was he just writing it down in that journal? I could read out a lot of lines.

 

[Majik1387]

It was just a personal actor's journal.

 

[LostSon88]

I think because it's confirmed now. Up until that point it was more of an 'urban legend' that most chalked up to fanboy over exuberance. This idea that Heath actually went to those extremes to lock himself up in a hotel for a month to "become" the Joker just sounded so over the top and ridiculous.

This footage proves that it was actually true.

Yes, but the clip itself is literally from 2 years ago. It was already online. It didn't gain much traction then, so when it resurfaces nowadays it's bigger news.

 

[LostSon88]

I can say for the record that I had never seen it prior to a few days ago...

 

[I Am The Knight]

The journal thing was reported back in 2007 I believe, in an interview/piece with/about Heath Ledger. It was always real.

 

[Micromind]

I am surprised that no one has manipped the jester skull tattoo that is on Leto's Joker.

That is a truly enormous dandelion.
