IMO, Satan was in that movie. I felt it. I absolutely was not surprised when somebody involved in the movie (Heath Ledger) died soon after the production.
Some movies don’t invite you to watch, the dare you. Who needs it? I have enough problems than to pay to watch a movie that feels like it’s my enemy.
How far we’ve fallen. There was a day, in the Classic/Christan era of the 18th and 19th Centuries, where artists were bred and taught to enhance, uplift, edify, and leave the patron better than they were before. That’s one reason I love listening to the classic music of Hayden, Mozart, and Beethoven - the music uplifts you, warms you on the inside, and leaves you smiling.
I know what you mean.
Everyone said what a terrific character the Joker was... played by Ledger.
I hated it. I was not surprised to hear about Ledger dying either. Brokeback Mt. and then this role. Ugh.
