Get Well, soon, Morgan Freeman.
Slash could not ever be part of the conversation, my colleagues at work, however, are definitely movie goers.
So we were talking about The Dark Knight at work and one of my colleagues hated it, hated it, hated it. Um, yeah. I got the point so I asked her why.
It was Heath Ledger’s interpretation of the Joker. She loves serial killer type movies and the fact that HL made the Joker more a serial killer made her upset. That was not how she saw the Joker. She prefers Jack Nicholson’s version.
I was cool with her assessment because you know, not everyone will enjoy HL version. But she went on to say that HL became too engrossed in creating the Joker and for that reason he committed suicide.
Woah, kill me already. I had to stay calm and said the man accidentally overdosed on prescription drugs. And can we please not talk about how he died. From what I read HL had the tendency to become very involved in his creations and isn’t that what good actors do.
We moved the conversation away from death to talk more about the movie. But this got me to wondering how many others out there may feel the same as she does about HL death, that he committed suicide.
Note: We did agree, when the Joker, dressed in a dress came out of the hospital. It was hilarious and more like the comical Joker we’re used to seeing.
