It was SO fitting when Joker came out and Joaquin gave the performance of his lifetime for that one. He gave to that movie the same way Heath gave to the dark knight. Fully and without conditions, Joaquins performance in Joker is the most chilling role I've seen performed in a LONG ass time.
Every single second of his screen time in that movie is flawless. Perfection. It legitimately leaves you wanting more. Will never get tired of that movie

Even through the tragedy, I loved the Terry Guilliam it was sooooo moving. The artists paying hommage to finish his masterpiece. Johnny Depp, Colin Ferrel, Jude Law: Imaginarium of Dr. Parnassus??? ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I loved the villain before he ever did the role then after ledger they turned the joker into some kind of strange lover of a character that wouldn’t even exist till this day if hadn’t been for the views the episode she appeared in .. now the joker has a love story which is pretty gay…
I still believe Heaths Joker was by far the greatest performance of acting I've ever seen. Even watching it today I'm just blown away by how convincing he is as the joker. Every movement, every look, every intonation of his voice. He will always be the one and only joker of that franchise.
to be honest he was not the best Joker, but he was the best unique Joker, he took a spin on it without breaking who the Joker is, while being a unique take on the Joker... people forget if you just copy paste a comic book character it does not always work, but if you add something, special to it, then magic happens...
Joaquin Phoenix and Jack Nicholson were phenomenal in their own right, but Ledger completely redefined the role. Most iconic performance in cinematic history imo
I mean joaquin did too but i think they are both good for one in the same reason like they are both abstract with their roles as the joker they truly embodied the meaning, it was because of ledger that joaquin went so hard for his role im pretty sure i mean the dude went off script and deprived himself like ledger did but for sure dark knight will never be beat
Something about the dark Knight movies caught lightning in a bottle everyone went on to do huge things after and some of my favorite movies to watch to this day still
@@williamswain2303 Joaquin Joker went crazy for a reason, Heath Joker wen't crazy for unknown reasons. Just watch Aaron Eckhart describing Heath's preparation in the hospital scene, if it wasn't for Heath's portrayal of the Joker. It wouldn't be the benchmark on how the joker is written in the future. The same with Batman, Frank Miller wrote and drew Batman and made him more of the cold fear inducing vigilante. Which was then copied in the animated Batman Adventures, which is now the benchmark of how Batman is written. czcams.com/video/u6_2dmm4LnA/video.html
Most don't realize that. I just scrolled for 10 minutes straight through these comments just to find one other person mention that. The mindset head to reach ended him. Facts.
“You see, in their last moments, people show you who they really are” Said it as the Joker in the movie Left the world with the legacy of one of the best, psychologically dark and chaotic characters ever played before. Poetically Haunting.
we all are addicted to different things mate. Maybe drugs were his escape just like being cynical is yours. 😄 He shall still be remembered unlike us who will just be another random comment among thousands, so take a chill pill (not drugs cause you may get an aneurysm ) and relax.
And so is Brittany Murphy? Both found the same way? Both playing the same couple villain? Not Brittany's dad calling foul play. Or Is it all just a figment of our bizzare imagination.
The Imaginarium of Dr Parnassus was Ledgers last movie in which he was only in half of it. They paid 3 top tier actors, Depp, Collin Farrell and Jude Law to fill Ledgers shoes. That performance (while struggling with pneumonia, insomnia and still affected by the intensity he gave the Joker), will be why he was one the best around.
@@dwayne3189those 3 actors donated 100% of their income (from that movie) to Heath's daughter. They worked for free and did so, willingly; such was their respect for that brilliant, humble man. Admiration 👊🏼
He definitely shocked the world and changed the acting game with his performance. Joaquin Phoenix had to do something pretty phenomenal as Joker bc the standard was so high.
Once in a while a performance will come along that becomes so quoted, referenced, parodied, and deconstructed that the original almost gets devalued. His performance was so incredible, it has proven to be immune.
I left the theater after watching The Dark Knight with the thought that without a doubt in my mind Heath was going to become my generation's Daniel Day-Lewis. He owned that role and the fact that we didn't get to see him reach his full potential is absolutely heartbreaking. I wish nothing but the best for Michelle and the daughter they shared.
@@pube66This was great performance but that wasnt Joker from batman. I doubt he will ever meet Batsy and Todd Phillips now is focused at love with Harley like this is another world . Batman and Joker got that relationship where both complete in their dance
The greatest depiction ever. The most iconic role just because heath lived in it. Greatest performance i ever saw and i believe ever see in my life time. His dedication is mind blowing. I was shocked when i saw the news. I still wish i see him continue the portrayal.
Greatest acting performance in movie history I can’t be told otherwise, he genuinely made you feel like the joker was a real person and the events in the movie somehow actually happened
We were born on the same exact day April 4, 1979. I was so melancholy for a while after he passed. I cry every time I see that movie. Still. Because he was so amazing and special. He embodied fearlessness, madness, and humor seamlessly.The best Joker hands down.
I dnt get why ppl cry over someone they never knew he was a good actor but if u knew him outta work u might of thought he was a prick prob wasn't just saying dnt understand it sad he dead an all but u tell me any other names of ppl that died that same day or just heath
I honestly had doubt in the beginning but the moment he came on screen I was mesmerized couldn't get enough R.I.P legend thank you aussies for producing a gem to enjoy a gift that was health ledger
Its so disappointing that the world won't get to see him portray the Joker again. What an incredible performance. I'll admit, I was one of those people who thought there were better choices to play that character, but the shock and awe just made it that much better. It wasn't like watching him play the joker, it was like watching the Joker manifest in front of my eyes. Perfection.
I honestly think that he had such pride and desire in his acting abilities that he took people saying "he couldn't do it" personally and not only did it, but made it so no one could ever come close to his he portrayed the character. R.I.P.
He was the best Joker I’ve ever seen and that’s not dissing the other actors who did a fantastic job, but this man was just different for it and that scene with Rachel and him just making the scene up on the spot was 🐐🐐
@@zane4575 Juaquins was very good it’s just not meant to be the joker they kinda just used the name to make a great movie about mental health and depression. Like how can you be the joker if there’s no Batman lol
Robin Williams was a terrible actor, terrible comedian, and he stole jokes on top of that. Heath will only be remembered as the "best" joker because he died not because of talent or skill. There is no reason other than he died.
@@about29catsRobin Williams wasn't a terrible actor, he was great in One Hour Photo, Insomnia, The Birdcage, Good Will Hunting etc. You're obviously just some cynical prick or some weird beta troll or both 🤷🏻♂️ And there's plenty of videos talking about how talented of an actor Heath Ledger was so try again
I disagree. Heath Ledger's take on Joker was phenomenal, don't get me wrong. However, Jack Nicholson's Joker as well as Joaquin Phoenix's Joker were both equally as phenomenal as well, just all three very different takes on the Joker.
Idk Nicholson’s joker was mean and evil definitely the best joker up until Ledgers portrayal and it’s debatable if he was even surpassed by Ledger or simply matched
Heath Ledger is our James Dean; an epic performance from a Star gone Supernova, too soon. His portrayal was the embodiment of Joker, with Nolan's characterization of Joker as an "Agent of Chaos" gave us the epitome of one man's terrorist is another's freedom fighter🎉🎉🎉superb.
@@Lip836both brilliant but Ledger got me terrified and feeling like he was always one step ahead. Joaquins Joker is broken and lucky getting away with his crimes. On the Joker movie it’s hard to build a story involving Batman cause he’s just mentally challenged and not quite the classic genius maniac I prefer.
The joker was one of the best characters ever played. The complexity of his character is just shown perfectly through Heath Ledger. Rest in peace brother.
Rest in peace Heath! His joker was the best out of all of them! Hands down the best nut job acting I have ever seen! The facial expressions and eye rolls and tongue clicks just floored me!
Heath was a broken man, but put his all into this last role of his. I think deep down he knew this was gonna be his final film and so he made sure it would be his most memorable performance.
What makes you think he was broken? He seemed very joyful and alive. He loved to live. I also believe he put his all into this role because that’s what he normally does. Even more so because it was an important role. He also didn’t believe it was his last movie because he did a movie after.
He IS the Joker to me. No one else can touch it now as far as I'm concerned, although I was one of those who thought it was a joke too. Just like RDJ owns Iron Man. Keith owns the Joker... Not to many people are irreplaceable in roles for me either. I'm not some purist or really care. I just don't think anyone else can make a character who I think is ridiculous, legendary. Legitimately terrifying in the sense of a force of pure anarchy. All without coming off as corny, like Letos. RIP man.
Miss Heath so much man, loved him in 10 Things when i first saw it, absolutely adored his performances and especially as Joker, theyll never be another like him
The woman who found him unconscious waited 15 minutes to call 911, meaning that by the time they arrived she had been standing there crying for half an hour
Calm down. He's an actor. Not a hero. They play make believe on camera for money. My six year old does the same thing by herself for free with her toys. Actors are one step above a mime in the performing arts hierarchy. Act accordingly.
I didn’t think he could pull it off. Even his voice is different. He was completely consumed with this character. He did an amazing job. It’s unfortunate that we lost him which I partly plan on this role.
I got chills when I saw his character for the first time on screen, I still can't see Heath Ledger when I'm looking directly at him. I appreciate that type of separation from yourself to bring out the best for the audience. RIP The goat of all villains
@@Barnacle_Boi Easily made: Joker was a pre-made character that his role unnecessarily rewritten. His method of becoming the role was so great that it was his undoing. He might’ve done a great job but his character wasn’t what *THE JOKER* was all about, just a remake of his interpretation.

@@about29catsRobin Williams wasn't a terrible actor, he was great in One Hour Photo, Insomnia, The Birdcage, Good Will Hunting etc. You're obviously just some cynical prick or some weird beta troll or both 🤷🏻♂️
And there's plenty of videos talking about how talented of an actor Heath Ledger was so try again
@@about29catsdidn't get enough attention this week? or did you just yap to yap?
sorry were you offended that i shared a differing opinion, welcome to the world sport@@tajzu

Such a beautiful man and literally the BEST portrayal of the Joker ever on film!! Fantastic actor that was taken waaaaaaaayyyy too soon
I disagree. Heath Ledger's take on Joker was phenomenal, don't get me wrong. However, Jack Nicholson's Joker as well as Joaquin Phoenix's Joker were both equally as phenomenal as well, just all three very different takes on the Joker.
@@frisiidescendant2200nah his acting in this movie is probably the best the world has and ever will see
Idk Nicholson’s joker was mean and evil definitely the best joker up until Ledgers portrayal and it’s debatable if he was even surpassed by Ledger or simply matched
Heath Ledger is our James Dean; an epic performance from a Star gone Supernova, too soon. His portrayal was the embodiment of Joker, with Nolan's characterization of Joker as an "Agent of Chaos" gave us the epitome of one man's terrorist is another's freedom fighter🎉🎉🎉superb.
Exactly. Because he died.
wtf are u spewing? "freedom fighter"? literally nothing about the character suggests a cause.
Man he would have made so many more super good movies. He was a true loss. Miss him and his acting.
Heath left too soon man. It makes me sad. Bro had a whole Al Pacino life ahead cut short. Rest in peace Heath. May we meet in Heaven.
He is in hell for suicide
@@darioartmagic7743 Judge not lest ye be judged. How arrogant and un-Christlike.
you think you can just steal from us and walk away!?
joker: yeah
I can tell you’re an amazing person bro 🫡 literally one of my fav parts of the whole movie and no one ever talks about it 😂
Yeah
That dude was an awesome actor, loved him in a knights tale , couldn’t believe he died.
I remember the first time I saw A Knight's Tale and didn't realize it was going to be so hysterical! I was forever a fan after that
weird he died at 28
@@rcg224drugs will do that
He died?? I didn't even know he was sick
What@@natebrown6440
The most beautiful souls are the most giving souls. He was so humble, you won't forget His souls.
Yes he's the best joker it's not even a debate
I mean Joaquín made It a debate
@@Lip836both brilliant but Ledger got me terrified and feeling like he was always one step ahead. Joaquins Joker is broken and lucky getting away with his crimes. On the Joker movie it’s hard to build a story involving Batman cause he’s just mentally challenged and not quite the classic genius maniac I prefer.
I dunno have you seen jerod Leto?… 😂
@@Lip836no. No he did not . 😂

One of the greatest actors of my childhood. You will be remembered sir.
The joker was one of the best characters ever played. The complexity of his character is just shown perfectly through Heath Ledger. Rest in peace brother.
Heath knocked that role out of the fucking park. It was truly heart breaking hearing his passing.
o7 to the GOAT
Rest in peace Heath! His joker was the best out of all of them! Hands down the best nut job acting I have ever seen! The facial expressions and eye rolls and tongue clicks just floored me!
Heath has always been majestic, loved every film he did
Heath was a broken man, but put his all into this last role of his. I think deep down he knew this was gonna be his final film and so he made sure it would be his most memorable performance.
Pretty sure he did another movie after this.
"The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus" would like a word...
Wow what a solid comment man... I 100% agree with you word for word
@@micahwest2793 not the most memorable one... Read before write replies
What makes you think he was broken? He seemed very joyful and alive. He loved to live. I also believe he put his all into this role because that’s what he normally does. Even more so because it was an important role. He also didn’t believe it was his last movie because he did a movie after.
One of the greatest acting performances in film movie history.
RIP Heath. Your performance is a true masterpiece.
Truly the greatest hands down. He lived, loved, breathed, ate, and died the character.
He IS the Joker to me. No one else can touch it now as far as I'm concerned, although I was one of those who thought it was a joke too.
Just like RDJ owns Iron Man. Keith owns the Joker... Not to many people are irreplaceable in roles for me either. I'm not some purist or really care. I just don't think anyone else can make a character who I think is ridiculous, legendary. Legitimately terrifying in the sense of a force of pure anarchy. All without coming off as corny, like Letos.
RIP man.
died the charachter lol
He didn't die "because of the joker." He was not in character when he died. That's all TMZ crap
To think how far Heath could have gone if he were still alive is mind blowing. He is so missed💜
Miss Heath so much man, loved him in 10 Things when i first saw it, absolutely adored his performances and especially as Joker, theyll never be another like him
RIP heath. you are missed and a inspiration to many. you left us too soon.
He stood out in every movie he was in. I miss his amazing talent
The woman who found him unconscious waited 15 minutes to call 911, meaning that by the time they arrived she had been standing there crying for half an hour
Best joker!!!! Plus he's well missed !!!❤
he is not only the best joker....he is one of the best actors to even walk on this earth. not only by his talent...but by his commitment to others
You went big on this comment. I commend you. This is your online award.
I will agree with that to a point. Because Keanu Reeves is in that category too.
@@Wheels746 indeed he is.
Calm down. He's an actor. Not a hero. They play make believe on camera for money. My six year old does the same thing by herself for free with her toys. Actors are one step above a mime in the performing arts hierarchy. Act accordingly.
@@levigoldsteinbergowitz7391 hate much Mr. Cynical
I don't think I've ever seen a role get crushed so hard before, a fucking legend
He played that role so well it was my top superhero movie for years.he brought that role to life.
All in. Dude gives 100%, 100% of the time. Do or do not, there is no try. Leave it all on stage. Big props, professionally professional.
Deserves a documentary
I didn’t think he could pull it off. Even his voice is different. He was completely consumed with this character. He did an amazing job. It’s unfortunate that we lost him which I partly plan on this role.
The man was the best description of joker cartoons and comics combined 😊
It was all so real, even the pile of money he burned had to be real. Movie cost a fortune.
No Hamill has the title.
@user-xl7fl you don't understand? The cartoons obviously paved the way so I meant he played it as good as the cartoon characters did jeez
@@Georgy844 that's not what you said at all 🤣.
@@user-xl7fl thought it was implied
A true legand. Rest his kind souls
hands down the best man to play the joker
I got chills when I saw his character for the first time on screen, I still can't see Heath Ledger when I'm looking directly at him. I appreciate that type of separation from yourself to bring out the best for the audience. RIP The goat of all villains
My thoughts exactly 💥
I miss him so much, he was everything. Love for Michelle and their kids. He always chose the harder roles even as a teenager in Australia. ❤❤❤
Just as he was about to hit the absolute prime of his acting, so so tragic
I honestly get teary eyed when I think of his performance
He was, is, and always will be the best joker we have ever had in a live action performance💯
I'll never forget my mind being blown after seeing his performance for the first time. He was unrecognisable and tremendous. The best ever.
He wasn't just the Joker...he was one of the best modern day jokers. He will be missed.
Best joker period as far as I’m concerned
@@TheStonedPhilosopher47agreed, I don’t see how any argument can be made for anyone else
@@Barnacle_Boi
Easily made: Joker was a pre-made character that his role unnecessarily rewritten. His method of becoming the role was so great that it was his undoing.
He might’ve done a great job but his character wasn’t what *THE JOKER* was all about, just a remake of his interpretation.
Legend. He was too good for this world.
I love hearing this side of it. A Knights Tale is so underrated. Glad they had a clip of it in here. You can tell he worked hard in every movie he was in. He’s shining on still.
Yes hands down!!, i wish he was still here as a role model 😔 he showed us all that this character was ment to be a legend under his name for eternity
Hes the best
He was great.
Hands down the best Joker of all time! Heath took it to another level. He didn’t “play a character”, he became the Joker and it basically killed him.
No, it didn’t. That’s such a bunch of nonsense that gets repeated endlessly.
The fact that there are good jokers out there is because we men have been hurt and are able to express our feelings through art very well
Literally gave his life for the role
The will never be a better actor legend will never be forgotten ❤️
Yeah there will and there definitely is you just Cap for him cause he died
He was a rare breed! The man played this part better than anyone could’ve imagined!
He didn't do it for them, he did it only for himself. Immersing himself in the character constantly, now that's an method actor
The best… R.I.P Heath Ledger 🙏🏽
