One of the most legendary performances of all time. Heath Ledger as the JOKER in Dark Knight redefined all benchmarks in acting. To really know it, you all need to watch it. While watching any film, we all root for the hero. But when we watch a film and find the villain more endearing, we know something outlandish has happened. Liking a hero is easy, but imagine that amount of effort the villian has to put to make the audiences like him as his character is inherently made to dislike. Heath Ledger didn't just make audiences like him, he made them love him. He created something which will be passed on from generations to generations as pure and unadulterated passion being put into something so artistic as acting. I was very nervous before starting this piece as the fear of failure, or rather ruining the sketch was looming large on me. It also turned out to be one of my most challenging art pieces created so far. Guess Heath Ledger has set difficult benchmarks everywhere. Hope you all will love this piece as much as we all love Heath Ledger as the Joker. This is in honor of his memory.
