What I think about Heath Ledger being the Joker

Hello there,

By now, everyone has probably heard of the Dark Knight. It was the best movie that was out this summer by far, and probably for the whole year. It had some really good actors such as Christian Bale, Heath Ledger, and Morgan Freeman. As we all know by now, Heath Ledger played the Joker. His character was the most amazing, and the most compelling character that I have ever seen in a movie. He really transformed the Joker from a guy with a goofy hairdo with dumb clothes and laughed to much, to a misunderstood psycho-terrorist that was so smart and so clever that he was the one that made the movie good. (No offense to everyone else in the movie, but Heath saved your asses big time). If he doesn't get an Oscar, then there is nothing god is dead, or has something against good acting.
I originally heard that Heath Ledger was basing his character off of Jack Nicholson's Joker in the earlier Batmans. If he did, then he did an awesome job of portraying his character.
In some parts of the movie, I actually felt kinda sorry for him. When he was having a sit-down with the Mafia, and they were calling him crazy, that was when I felt sorry for him. His character was just so real and lifelike, that you just had to feel sorry for him.
It was some of the little things that made The Joker so real and compelling, like the way he would make that sound with his lips when he would talk, or when he first saw Lois and he acted like he was trying to impress her by slicking his hair back, or the way he always said, "Why So Serious?" I don't know about you, or anyone else, but Heath deserved that Oscar, whether he's dead or not.
