It was pretty much just amazing. It's kinda sad, in a way-- Heath is never gonna see how AMAZING his performance was. Though I wonder... does him being dead make me biased? Or was his performance really just that awesome? I think it was, I just tend to second-guess myself. But really, I don't think anyone can touch him as the Joker.

I really enjoyed the whole chaos vs order thing; it wasn't just about good and evil, it was more. And then Two Face... wow... The Joker was just completely and utterly insane, though with that terrifying clarity of purpose of the mad; Two Face... I felt sorry for him. As if his fall were somehow more "legit" than anyone else's. Because, really how incrediably painful would that be? To have to listen to the one you loved as they died, trying to calm them, knowing they were doomed and there wasn't a damned thing you could do about it. And then, the burns... keeping the pain, refusing any aid... like a punishment, and a goad into madness. In my geeky way, it reminded me of the Anakin/Vader thing, though with a number of differences, which I won't go into, because I'm tired.

But OMG YOU MUST SEE IT NOW!!!

I know I'm going to have Joker-themed nightmares for at least a week.

Though it is strange... the whole movie, though called Batman... it seemed liked I focused more on the Joker. I don't know if that was a deliberate move on the director(s) part, a bias towards the dear departed Heath, or just my natural tendency to gravitate towards the darker side of things (cuz I'm an emo kid).

That's all.

Bye.
