Heath Ledger the Clown (which is better, Jackie Phoenix or Heath Ledger)

The long-awaited clown finally unveiled the mystery.

Do you know how crazy clowns are? Some cinemas in the United States chose not to show the Dark Knight for fear of repeating the shooting incident.

Many countries and cities around the world have strengthened security when clowns are shown, and even increased police patrols near cinemas.

In my electric cinema, one of them went to the cinema wearing a clown mask and was repeatedly questioned by ticket inspectors and security guards. Finally, he was allowed to wear a mask into the cinema, but not on his face.

So do you know how deep the abyss of clown's evil charm is?

Let's talk about impressions first, and don't worry about it.

I have to admit that this is not my favorite movie type. Too depressing, too dark, too depraved. Are you sure this is just a movie of N 16? !

But I don't like it here, just as I don't like horror movies (because I'm afraid), but that doesn't mean I have any prejudice against such movies. On the contrary, I quite agree with clowns.

Therefore, I have to admit that the clown is a work of art, and it is worth leaving a deep impression on the film history from the director's style, lens language, actor's performance and story weaving.

I like the clown role in the movie. As the director said before, it is an experimental film in the direction of role research. Now the Venice Film Festival has rated the clown as the best film, which proves the success of the clown role experiment and the quality of the film.

However, with the release of the film, the controversy is getting bigger and bigger. This controversy is not simply aesthetic isolation, because everyone recognizes the artistry of the film itself, but in terms of values, the clown gives a very vague definition.

It's like Arthur's line in the movie: "What's funny and what's not funny is up to you to define."

This sentence corresponds to the real world, implying that what we call values now is just a definition. What is a valuable value or ideology depends on our civilized society, but does it really exist? !

Therefore, clowns challenge today's society with extremely negative values, that is, how fragile a civilized society should be if a movie can really affect reality.

This is exactly where the clown makes many people feel dangerous, because the film is full of the charm of violent art, and the clown role is played by Jacqueline Phoenix, not to mention his deep involvement in the play. Even as an audience, I have been watching his performance, and I gasped at his evil.

Regarding the performance, Jakun Phoenix has been integrated into the performance mode of "experiential school" this time, but it has also subtly infiltrated some self-created "expressionist" acting skills, which makes people very enjoyable.

The biggest feature of experiential schools is "listening to the truth, seeing the truth and feeling". Phoenix abused himself into a pathological skin and bones, his eyes were deeply sunken and dull, and walking was like hitting a heavy needle on his foot, which always made the audience realize Arthur's struggling fate.

On the "expressionism" that emphasizes imitation, when Phoenix performs in a disorderly or crazy state, it permeates some exaggerated dances of Chaplin, which makes people feel the tension between comedy and tragedy. Because many of master Chaplin's masterpieces are actually tragedies at their core.

Jakun Phoenix's enchanted performance, accompanied by a low moaning cello score, is so real that I can't bear to look directly at several cruel and violent scenes, even making people feel a little queasy and disgusted. Of course, this is a compliment to Phoenix's performance here. He completely gave his soul to the role, and let the audience taste what a psychopath is.

Let's answer a question that everyone is most curious about. Which is better, Jackie Chan, Phoenix or Heath Ledger Clown?

I believe for most people, this is a Sophie's choice. In order to play the clown well, both Phoenix and Heath Ledger entered the spiritual world of the characters in the painful way of deformed people.

Phoenix shows Arthur's struggle and frustration before he becomes a clown, while Heath Ledger's version shows the clown's catharsis and confrontation with the world, because the clown is in the perfect tense.

From the perspective of entertainment, Heath Ledger's version of the clown, the fire of revenge has been burning in his heart for a long time.

Therefore, Heath Ledger's performance will be more direct, more manic and more powerful.

From the perspective of character richness, after all, Phoenix is the absolute protagonist, so the clown character looks more delicate and three-dimensional and has more room for expression.

It should be said that the clown in The Clown and the Dark Knight is on two different performance stages. Clowns are wider and have more room to sink, while the Dark Knight is small, but Heath Ledger dances more intensely.

Although The Dark Knight belongs to Nolan's Batman trilogy, it is based on the original comic story.

"The Clown" can be said to be the first time that DC movies are so divorced from comics, which is equivalent to redefining the origin of clowns on the big screen. If you are a loyal reader of DC comics, don't worry, you can still have great surprises when watching clowns.

Moreover, because almost all the clowns in DC comics are finished, the Heath Ledger version of the clown is closer to the comic version, while the Phoenix version is more experimental and independent, and basically has nothing to do with the comic version.

The clown has made his own unique adaptation on the relationship between Batman's life experience and the clown, which makes people sigh and imagine. Many mysteries in the film are left outside the film, giving the audience a lot of room to interpret.

Pay attention to "watching movies with great wisdom", don't pursue running quantity, only grind fine products.
