After having seen Joaquin Phoenix Joker Performance in the recent teaser that literally HIT youtube right now , I think its the PERFECT timing to ask Mr. Nolan and Mr. Bale to Prepare a 4th movie (2th Joaquin's Joker movie) titled : TDKR. Mr.Christopher Nolan as Director , Age Mr.Bale by adding somes weight &grey is hair , include Henry Cavill , Makeup Joaquin Phoenix like Heath Ledger for his 2th & last Joker movie , Respect the Frank Miller Novel , title the movie : THE DARK NIGHT RETURN and let the movie became the EXPLODING WORLD BOX OFFICE RECORD EVER. Warner , the ball is in your court ! Guys , who thump up for this ?
“I think the saddest people always try their hardest to make people happy because they know what it’s like to feel absolutely worthless and they don’t want anyone else to feel like that.” ― Robin Williams People struggling with mental illness often hide behind a facade especially if it's those closest to them that they care about the most. It might be for many different reasons they don't want to upset them, they want them to be happy, they don't want to feel like a burden. It's a very dangerous idea to think that just because someone is smiling on the outside and laughing that it means their okay or they don't feel like their dying inside.
What's "mental illness" to you and others, is really just your subconscious abuse. The realist people are perceived as "mental" to those that are naive and only know superficial. When real people give you every reason to be your true self, and you're still superficial, then they know they're invisible to you. They're just an object or label for your assumptions and validation if not also your grandiosity. They know words won't work with you, because you've reached the end of reason. In this case labeling others you can't understand because you don't even understand yourself, is really just you labeling yourself. You feed the necessary monster, because you're the real terrorist and monster to their humanity. Everyone is different. We just pretend to be someone we're not for conditional acceptance. When you finally accept reality, the truth will destroy you. But hey, you can always rebuild instead of pretending people are "mental" just because they don't sell their soul like many of you for conditional acceptance hahahaha
Both Kenny and Dave F make good points. I think Kenny is talking about general wellbeing, not being phoney, keeping your soul real and not trying to please others. Then Dave F experiences are real hardcore mental illness that can only be treated by mainstream health professionals and people not being ashamed to get that help.
Caleb Fuller no he didn’t you dumbass people become actors to make millions of dollars anyone would “go through so much” if you’re gonna be rich AND famous
Joaquin’s Joker was great but considering it’s an origin story, we’ve yet to see what his Joker is truly capable of when he’s fully the Joker instead of Arthur Fleck. Ledger’s Joker was far more commanding, sinister, and fully developed complimented with an amazing performance. Very different Jokers but both are incredible in their own right. I personally prefer Ledger’s and I watch his scenes over again from time to time.
@@ziz9113 You cant possibly compare Joaquin's Joker against Heath's Joker. It's like comparing the painting of Michaelangelo vs Leonardo Da Vinci. They're both immaculate in their own right
@@helloworld9760 Oh. You thought being a rich and famous Couch Potato, that you would get everything delivered to you... Well, don't you feel a fool? I guess you're just not as good as you thought hey? Maybe its being a Fool, that you are world class at, not being a Couch Potato
omg same, watching the trailer brought me here, he really switched up the joker , which is why I think the current film is coming out , same as suicide squad , now everyone is interested as the joker as a character
@@flightofthebumblebee9529 I really pity you for being ignorant enough to say that. Here's an occurring example of how wrong you are, try talking to war veterans, they can be anywhere on the range from combative survivors to those that watched close ones die in front of them. Like I said this is ONE example, get over yourself.
One thing that people get wrong is that Heath Ledger being the Joker didn’t kill him. He was already having sleeping problems way before taking this role, hence why he was taking sleeping pills. I always thought him being the Joker ruined his mental health, but it didn’t. His mind would never “turn off” so he turned to sleeping pills to help him and that’s how he ended up overdosing.
Sleep disorder even with pills=insomnia=exhaustion due to no sleep=morepills=nosleep=irrational thoughts then mixed with such a role as the joker locking himself away wasn't normal for a person with this illness, let's put this into clearer terms if you were suffering with what he suffered with and went to doctors and said I'm gonna lock my self in a room for weeks to bring out a sociopath killer madman, how do you think the doctor would react????
He didn’t overdose because of the sleepin pills however it was a mix of oxys and hydros along with anxiety depression and sleep medicine caused a lethal concoction. The ocy and hydros along are lethal when mixed
People who were on the cast with him claim that the idea of his performance being related to his death is insane and not true. And they were working with him so I will listen to them.
Roy Morin exactly this. Saw an interview with Michael Caine, and he said it was absolute bullshit, and that between takes, he was joking around with the other cast members, and having fun the whole time during filming.
He was mentally and physically exhausted (thats exactly what Heath said) and he was taking medication and then took pills to sleep and never woke up. It is related to it of course
I will say, for all the contradicting evidence, its difficult to say that because he may have seemed happy to some, that there werent issues. I am personally going through a really dark time in my life and to many, they would say i am doing great. Dealing with depression.. you dont tend to share it with others, you dont want them to know..
I am struggling with social anxiety and it's a mess,my friends are normal,have relationships and I feel choked to death by life.But I have made up my mind,like you said i dont want my people to know and I will fight with everything I have until I am happy or die trying.If I succeed i have promised to help some other troubled friends.
Sometimes those closest to the person are the most oblivious to their struggles. Family members can take you for granted and be very shocked when you suddenly overdose on meds or jump out of the window. I gave up trying to talk about my problems with my mother because she just casually brushes me off and says it's not a big deal or I just overthink and imagine stuff. I only talk to some of my friends who have gone or are going through similar issues. It's good to have at least someone willing to listen.
That's BS. Warner. Brothers toned down Joker's presence in the promos after Heath's death and were considering cutting out a scene in the movie where Joker pretends to be dead.
@@antona.1327 hes not saying that they tried to use it for marketing .. its just that his death caused a lot more people to start talking about the movie. But i think it still would have gotten an oscar if he was alive it was too good of a performance regardless
@@julianj9830 very wrong. Everyone who worked with him has denied it had anything to do with his death. His recent separation from Michelle Williams and his drug addiction probably did.
I somtimes cant think once before my mom was sleep i had a knife in my hand i was thinking about killing her but my outside stopped me some times you do go crazy i some times laugh when i see someone get hurt
@@Thespeedrap I didn't know that, but I heard Wes Craven had him in mind for Freddy Crugger. Jeeze, I know he later played tortured dark characters in One Hour Photo and Insomnia, but characters that sadisticly evil and campy as Joker/Freddy? Just hard to picture - maybe his role in Death to Smoochy approaches that slightly.
Im so glad to see someone actually tell the true story of what happened. I hate seeing all over youtube people talking about how Heath 'became the Joker' when so many reliable sources have said otherwise. He was a depressed person, and when depressed people use drugs, even prescription, bad things can happen. I serious tragedy, but not because of the role that he played.
heath ledger was super happy in life, he loved his daughter, he loved his wife, he loved the role. He was always happy on set and just generally in life. He died because of an accidental overdose on sleep meds. He had a lot of trouble sleeping and his doctor gave him too many sleep meds which killed him.@@whiistlingwinds
sal brouwer obviously you don’t understand what depression is. When you’re depressed you tend to act as if you’re okay. Everyone thinks you’re okay when in reality you’re suffering. Yes he died of an overdose but the research shows that he was depressed as well.
The only marketing boost I see is the one in the head of the low piece of shit whom accepted money for spreading lies and envious ghosips wich would make the family of a great actor cry and curse this piece of shit. I hope you get the law suits quick so you get how stupid you are. RIP HEATH.
With or without his death, this was Oscar worthy... I know that bc I watched it not knowing he passed away and I was shocked about how beautiful his role as joker was
Really cool you give mental health PSAs now. This isn’t me being sarcastic. Nice to see a channel who seems to genuinely care about its audience and not just the “likes” they provide.
Jules, I watch WhatCulture videos as often as I can, and this was not what I expected today, but this was what I needed. Thank you for making an honest, grounded video about Heath Ledger and his mental health. Thank you for emphasizing mental health. Cheers.
I always suffer alone, truth be told I don’t know how to ask for help about my mental health, everyone tells me it’s “just in my head” or to “get over it” “stop being a bitch” so I decided nobody cares about me so I just sit in my room locked away all day in my own thoughts
To be fair they’re both special in their own ways. Ones a psychotic developed joker, the other one isn’t. You can’t compare the actors because the characters were so dramatically different
"A happy boy." Just speaking from my own experience, depression doesn't mean you don't look "happy" around other people. I often have days when I feel and (I'm assuming) appear entirely fine, especially in social situations where simply being with other people and having fun is like a temporary high. I do some acting both in film and on stage outside of my primary job, and even on some of my worst days, I know I often appear overly excited and energetic once I'm there and working. It's a huge contrast to those moments when I'm really struggling, which a lot of people - including family members - may hardly ever see or recognize. I don't necessarily make a conscious decision to "hide" my depression, but it's rare that it will show when we have family over to play board games, or I'm in front of a camera, or having a conversation about something I'm passionate about. The moments between those are when I'm usually hit the hardest. Having a good time can be exhausting, and once I've reached that point, it gets very difficult to try or even want to interact with other people. I'll go sit in the bedroom by myself, work on laundry, maybe watch RUclips videos in my car for an hour in the parking lot before going into work... Even if I recognize in that moment that I should get out of my head and go talk to someone or just be with them, doing so might feel impossible because I'm running on fumes emotionally and physically. I'm rambling by now, but my point is that depression is rarely something that you'll be able to spot in others, even if you're close to them. I was having suicidal thoughts for years before my wife ever learned of it. It's not as though she only ever saw me at my happiest, but I hid from her and others when I was at my worst. I was too afraid to admit what I was considering, and too tired to gather the energy to beat that fear. Even now, I still hide it more than I should. It's not something that's just cured. It never fully goes away. Your depression doesn't stop when you fill your life with as much joy as you can. So try your best not to hide it. Tell people about it. I know it can be hard to convince yourself that it's nothing to be ashamed of, but it truly isn't, and you absolutely deserve all of the help you can get and more, even if your mind is telling you that you do not. Don't just take care of yourself. Let other people take care of you, too. Let them know you don't always feel happy. Maybe they'll tell you the same. Share your struggles. Accept that you won't always be happy, but that you can get support when you're not. You can make it through.
This is 100% accurate. Very relatable. Thank you for leaving this for people who relate to it but just need to know they are not alone and that getting help is nothing to be ashamed of.
Nicole Davies Yeah its impossible to compare them as theyre completely different roles. Joaquins joker was joker becoming joker whiles ledgers joker was already joker.
*WhatCulture - The serious intro was so fitting. I'm in a situation after my father just passed away, where I feel everything is against me and getting burnt out. Sometimes I take my aggression out on others, but I do lean on my personal go-to things which keep me in a positive frame of mind. Thank you for this video.*
His take on the Joker will never be beaten. His raw passion and dedication to the character is extraordinary. I wish him the best in his endeavors and I hope he rests easy.
@@Charziken909 Helping by talking so openly about mental health. Talking about mental health helps remove the stigma and could be the difference between someone getting help and someone hurting themselves.
The Truth About Joker in The Dark Knight Heath Ledger played the role of 2 Jokers in The Dark Knight. In a standard deck, there are usually two Jokers. Only Christopher Nolan, Johnathan Nolan, and Heath Ledger were the only ones in on this secret. There are 2 Jokers in a Deck of Cards and it was all to be revealed in The Dark Knight Returns but due to Heath's passing the World never knew the truth in revealing the true “Ace in the Hole” which was his Twin Brother. Both Jokers are ex-Special Forces and Twins. For the sake of my argument, I'd like to introduce the 2 Jokers, One Joker specializes in Explosives Ordinance Disposal. Which we shall call "EOD Joker" The Other Joker is Military Intelligence. Which we shall call "MI Joker" Both are very proficient Special Forces Operatives. In the first scene, during the bank heist, The henchman asks Why do they call him the "Joker" and argue that "he thinks he can sit this one out" Where did they get the Bronco? Who supplied the Weapons, Gernades and Ammunition? It was MI Joker, while the Bank Heist was carried out by EOD Joker. Who supplied the Transportation? It was MI Joker. In Regards to the origin of the Scars Military Intelligence Joker states it was his father who was a Drinker and before executing Gamble While EOD Joker tells Rachel his scars come from his wife, getting into deep with the Loan Sharks, at Harvey Dent's fundraiser at Bruce Wayne Penthouse. While Military Intelligence Joker tortured Brian (Batman copycat) EOD Batman was setting the explosives and mixing Ammonia Nitrate. While Military Intelligence Joker carried out the attack in which Harvey was acting as bait, he was eventually captured and kept in Gordons Cage, While EOD Joker was wiring up Rachel and Harvey Dent. It was not Maroni's men that wired up the 2 locations, it was EOD Joker, who rigged the henchman, and the 2 locations. As an "Inside Joke" for his brother Military Intelligence Joker, EOD Joker switched up the locations in which Harvey and Rachel were being held. While At the Docks, Military Intelligence Joker burns his half $6,328,000,000 of the 12.6 Billion Dollars ripped off from the Mob. While EOD Joker is at the Gotham General Hospital rigging up the Explosives which will bring it down in one hour. EOD Joker interrogates, Harvey and sets him free. They never state what happened to the Mob's other half this is a Major Plot Hole. In one hour, it was not possible for Military Intelligence Joker to get across Gotham City to Gotham General. While GPD/Gordon was all over Gotham trying to find the Bombs which Joker promised to detonate if Coleman Reese was kept alive after one hour. At the Tower, Military Intelligence switches place with EOD Joker and takes charge of the hostages. Arriving with Chechnyans Rottweilers who arrived directly from the Docks after feeding upon him. While EOD Joker switches places with MI Joker he finishes wiring up Liberty and Spirit ferries. The detonators on each of the ferries at the end were linked to the bombs on the SAME ferry, not the other ferry. Both Brothers are huge into Game Theory. During the “The battle for Gotham’s soul.” Batman saves Military Intelligence Joker, MIJ talks about his " Ace in the Hole." Many think it's Harvey Dent, which his brother freed from Gotham General. In reality, it’s EOD Joker, who has left Gotham with the remaining fortune of the Mob. Which will be utilized to create more havoc around the world and lead into The Dark Knight Returns. While Military Intelligence Joker sits in Blackgate Penitentiary waiting for the return of his brother the True "Ace in The Hole." to break him out. This was what truly was meant to happen. I’m posting this for I have broken the Nolan Code of all the Nolan Movies and Shows (Westworld) and am aware that both are Messiahs for the Black World of Technology. Black World/Projects uSAP/SAP.
The jokers character is a homicidal realist and Heaths take really showed the audience that, this man is a acting hero(for taking this role and really allowing it to consume his mindset) and a legend(for his outstanding performance and acting) RIP Heath
His performance is legendary, he is a legend. And as such, he will go down in history and never be forgotten. Rest in Peace Heath, may you finally have found just that, peace
Kuba Buba so true ? Look at "Inside GangLand" tv shows. Any gangbanger that takes or earns the street name Joker never turns out well. Playing with Darkness is worst than playing with fire.
Personally I daisagree he's misunderstood yes he's insane but he started out as red hood trying to provide for his family and of course fell into a vat of chemicals that sent him insane bit if you wanna speculate on this joker then he was a veteran in special ops forgotten (why he had no backround but military exp.) And broken when he came home there was nothing there for him the war for nothing but then again it's just speculation but evidence doesn't lie
Delta 38 - Because it’s making money over someone’s tragic death. It’s as bad as a priest stopping a sermon and blasting an advertisement at max volume. It’s out of touch and whack.
WoW. I forgot about this. I thought putting Ads in a video about an person that passed away was disrespectful because you're making money off of it. Thank You Y K. Let's all be respectful in the comment though please and no hate. I Liked the video a year ago and I thought it was good. Be Good to one of another. Chao.
Even jack nickolson has stated in the past that the joker role consumed him, I understand that mental health plays a big part in the actor’s life, but seriously, even the brand new joker in the stand alone film coming out soon, he also looks disturbed, with all due respects to heath losing his life because he was dealing with issues of his own. Even I experimented on myself and locked myself in my dorm room and put my mindset as the same as the joker, though i didnt put makeup on, i finally began to understand what joker truly is, he is the deepest, darkest secrets and desires of the humans mind to create chaos just for the hell of it, thats why i will always love DC, because if u play as a normal marvel villain or whatever, u get finished with the movie and move on, but when u become the joker, it still haunts u and that is because of this one very simple fact: No matter how pure and kind hearted we are, mankind will always harbour our demons, and while we can never get rid of them, it is up to us to keep those demons at bay
@@mehrdadebrahimi5194 I disagree with you on the fact that we must fight and keep our "demons" in bay. They are a part of us no matter how much you fight them. Instead you should embrace that, the darkest side of you because only then can you be free.
I was a HUGE fan of Heath before his Joker role. And when I first heard that Heath was going to be the Joker I didn't want to believe it because Heath was always in heartthrob movies. I was definitely wrong when I saw The Dark Knight in theaters. Let's just say I saw the movie about 10-15 times in theaters because Heath was just so brilliant.
To me this is one of the best acting jobs ever. He became the Joker down to the DNA. Nobody ever was better fit for a role than this. I know it’s Heath but I still only see the joker when I watch the movie. I really don’t even like the movie much but I love the character so much that I keep coming back. True artist.
Cried after watching this.. Hate that Heath left us, and I feel bad about it so often, as he is someone I've looked up to for half of my life almost, but I am glad he gave us the greatest preformance I'll ever witness in my life, to remember him by..
Yes! That was very good. Really puts down all the people who believe the joker consumed him. I guess people always have to intensify a famous death and turn it into something elaborate. Smh.
the beginning message is great!! thank you. people struggling need to know we all are struggling at some point. find solace in the most simple things, like coffee on a park bench. during sunrise
I've said it before and I'll say it again. Thank you for all you do to fight the stigma of mental health. You will be reaching so many with the always positive message you send. Thank you.
There’s no dark truth behind Ledger’s Joker. The man’s death was accidental. He did an absolutely spectacular job playing this amazing character because he was a spectacular ACTOR. Deserved an Oscar dead or alive.
A serious Jules, always strange but this show how talented this guy who bangs my mom (his words, not mine) realy is. OT: This Joker was briljant and a true popculture, and sad how this actor went down the rabbit hole :(
If you want true goosebumps so checkout Heath's "last" scene ever that he filmed for The Imaginarium of Dr. Parnassus. He goes on a long speech about how the best is dying young and how fame can be evil. It's super telltale-lee!!!
heath ledgers performance is why this is my favourite movie ever, nothing will come close to this legends work, im going to see the new joker tomorrow, just because i want to see how Phoenix does his thing
*He spent so much time trying to be Joker and get into the role he had a hard time getting out of it because he dedicated his life to that role when he found out he was Joker he really wanted to be the best he could he lost himself while doing it he really wanted to be the Joker and have the best Joker ever* That’s some real dedication right there 🤘🏽💯❤️ R.I.P 🃏
I always wondered ,HOW did he get lost trying to be the character? I never understood the meaning to that. Like for an exampld if i pretended to be someone so much and dedicated myself to go full length to change and be them how will i go nuts when I know thats not really who i am ??
Yuki Suka he said that he never slept so that caused him to go crazy so thats why he probably was losing himself and not sleeping causes a lot of side affects
@@yukisuka1930 because after awhile you forget you. It happens very frequently in undercover work too because they don't get to break character or have film crews watching them. If you play a role long enough, too close to your real personality, or one that you deeply enjoy, eventually you will become it or it can seriously mess up someone's headspace.
connor x seriously? 🤦♀️ it’s called ACTING. That’s why not everyone can do it. This is art and makes me sad that you guys are putting this theory that is just meaningless in every way into life...
@@KamenKristin Alot of idiots have said how him playing the joker 'consumed him'. That is simply not the case as well as the fact that many actors working with Heath openly said he was having a wonderful time on set.
Even had Heath not passed away, his portrayal of Joker was nothing short of amazing. But yeah, postmortem forces played a role in heightening that vibe.
Can you imagine an alternative timeline where Heath Is Batman And Christian Bale Is the joker hahaha Based on American psycho i think this can work well too
Haven‘t seen the whole video yet, but the message at the start was very beautiful and important Thank you Jules, thanks WhatCulture Stay strong and spread the love 💪🏼♥️
As I get older and actors that I grew up watching, die, there are times that sadness overwhelms me. I didn't know Heath Ledger, he wasn't my favorite actor, but he seemed like a really nice, happy guy who was immensely talented and troubled. Tom Petty's death still hurts. He was touring on a fractured hip, that had become a broken hip. He took too many pills trying to cope with the pain, and one of the gods of rock and roll is just gone. Tom Petty is absolutely one of my favorites. My favorite author, Sir Terry Pratchett died a few years ago from early onset Alzheimer's. Any time it's early onset, it's is fast moving. I lost an author whose works made me laugh over 20 years, and it still saddens me. I still miss River Phoenix, and Chris Farley. Anton Yelchins death was tragic, as was Paul Walker's. Philip Seymor Hoffman was so talented. And Robin Williams who made everyone laugh, killed himself. It's just too sad. I wish you were all still here, happy and healthy.
Heath was a phenomenal actor, and his performance as Joker was by far the best I ever saw in a live action movie. But acting at times can be very dangerous, you spend so much time trying to bring your character to life that you loose yourself in the process. I believe Heath was a good person, and I wish he was still here.
Sounds like he had bi polar to me. "Mind racing" "Unable to sleep". That would explain how he was able to churn out such an amazing performance on that film. He was probably in a manic state of creativity - which is usually when artists do their best work. It would also explain the sudden fits of depression that followed. We all die. At least he died doing something special and leaving us with a performance that is going to be remembered long after the rest of us are gone. So I can think of worse ways to go.
He didn't get the Oscar because he died. He got it because it's one of the greatest performances of all time.
@@unboundmaxx I totally agree. My god what a performance it was though.

“I think the saddest people always try their hardest to make people happy because they know what it’s like to feel absolutely worthless and they don’t want anyone else to feel like that.”
― Robin Williams
People struggling with mental illness often hide behind a facade especially if it's those closest to them that they care about the most. It might be for many different reasons they don't want to upset them, they want them to be happy, they don't want to feel like a burden.
It's a very dangerous idea to think that just because someone is smiling on the outside and laughing that it means their okay or they don't feel like their dying inside.
What's "mental illness" to you and others, is really just your subconscious abuse.
The realist people are perceived as "mental" to those that are naive and only know superficial.
When real people give you every reason to be your true self, and you're still superficial, then they know they're invisible to you. They're just an object or label for your assumptions and validation if not also your grandiosity. They know words won't work with you, because you've reached the end of reason.
In this case labeling others you can't understand because you don't even understand yourself, is really just you labeling yourself.
You feed the necessary monster, because you're the real terrorist and monster to their humanity. Everyone is different. We just pretend to be someone we're not for conditional acceptance.
When you finally accept reality, the truth will destroy you. But hey, you can always rebuild instead of pretending people are "mental" just because they don't sell their soul like many of you for conditional acceptance hahahaha
beautiful said
Both Kenny and Dave F make good points.

Joaquin’s Joker was great but considering it’s an origin story, we’ve yet to see what his Joker is truly capable of when he’s fully the Joker instead of Arthur Fleck. Ledger’s Joker was far more commanding, sinister, and fully developed complimented with an amazing performance. Very different Jokers but both are incredible in their own right. I personally prefer Ledger’s and I watch his scenes over again from time to time.

who is here after watching the trailer of Joker 2019?....
rest in power Heath
Daire O'Reilly haha I agree he is a spec

omg same, watching the trailer brought me here, he really switched up the joker , which is why I think the current film is coming out , same as suicide squad , now everyone is interested as the joker as a character
I just watched the new joker trailor
I’ve watched all the trailers for the new Joker and yea I’ll see it but nobody can do it better than Heath Ledger ❤️
He just portrayed Joker so well, the laugh, the personality, just everything
First time I've seen someone handle this story with such respect and regard for human life. Good job Jules.
He didn't .. there are so many stuff he didn't mention. Heath was just tired not sick
Glad you guys took the mental health aspect of it seriously. Great video.
That mental health crap is a fuckin joke. People exploit it and profit from it when its not even real
Michael Jai White was talking about he seemed fine mentally. I mean ... he's a actor.... thats kinda his job
But the ads?
@@flightofthebumblebee9529 I really pity you for being ignorant enough to say that. Here's an occurring example of how wrong you are, try talking to war veterans, they can be anywhere on the range from combative survivors to those that watched close ones die in front of them. Like I said this is ONE example, get over yourself.
@@flightofthebumblebee9529 yeah but, what can you do?
One thing that people get wrong is that Heath Ledger being the Joker didn’t kill him. He was already having sleeping problems way before taking this role, hence why he was taking sleeping pills. I always thought him being the Joker ruined his mental health, but it didn’t. His mind would never “turn off” so he turned to sleeping pills to help him and that’s how he ended up overdosing.
he was just that good for ppl to assume that he was
Sleep disorder even with pills=insomnia=exhaustion due to no sleep=morepills=nosleep=irrational thoughts then mixed with such a role as the joker locking himself away wasn't normal for a person with this illness, let's put this into clearer terms if you were suffering with what he suffered with and went to doctors and said I'm gonna lock my self in a room for weeks to bring out a sociopath killer madman, how do you think the doctor would react????
@@J4C08G4M3R but he didnt "bring out a sociopathic killer" he created one for a movie, not like he turned into a deranged killer
U don't know so shut up
He didn’t overdose because of the sleepin pills however it was a mix of oxys and hydros along with anxiety depression and sleep medicine caused a lethal concoction. The ocy and hydros along are lethal when mixed
People who were on the cast with him claim that the idea of his performance being related to his death is insane and not true. And they were working with him so I will listen to them.
Roy Morin exactly this. Saw an interview with Michael Caine, and he said it was absolute bullshit, and that between takes, he was joking around with the other cast members, and having fun the whole time during filming.
Hellyweird is trustworthy? Full of pedos, and secrets? Come on now..
All that tells me is that he knew how to entertain.
He was mentally and physically exhausted (thats exactly what Heath said) and he was taking medication and then took pills to sleep and never woke up. It is related to it of course
Heath's acting as joker is a masterpiece a scene we rarely see in our lifetime.
I still feel that Heath was the best Joker.
Not only that I say he could’ve had the best performance by any actor ever
@@andyoakley6414 Stop.
Well who else was the best joker?
You feel?
You’re a disgrace.
makaveli g wdym stop tell me how I’m wrong
I will say, for all the contradicting evidence, its difficult to say that because he may have seemed happy to some, that there werent issues. I am personally going through a really dark time in my life and to many, they would say i am doing great. Dealing with depression.. you dont tend to share it with others, you dont want them to know..
Stay strong bro, life is beautiful, never think your not loved or won't be missed.
God help you man
Exactly. I've struggled to depression for years and most people don't know how unhappy I really am. People don't always show what's really going on.
I am struggling with social anxiety and it's a mess,my friends are normal,have relationships and I feel choked to death by life.But I have made up my mind,like you said i dont want my people to know and I will fight with everything I have until I am happy or die trying.If I succeed i have promised to help some other troubled friends.
Sometimes those closest to the person are the most oblivious to their struggles. Family members can take you for granted and be very shocked when you suddenly overdose on meds or jump out of the window. I gave up trying to talk about my problems with my mother because she just casually brushes me off and says it's not a big deal or I just overthink and imagine stuff. I only talk to some of my friends who have gone or are going through similar issues. It's good to have at least someone willing to listen.
"...a dark marketing boost" - thank you for stating this.
That's BS. Warner. Brothers toned down Joker's presence in the promos after Heath's death and were considering cutting out a scene in the movie where Joker pretends to be dead.
@@antona.1327 hes not saying that they tried to use it for marketing .. its just that his death caused a lot more people to start talking about the movie. But i think it still would have gotten an oscar if he was alive it was too good of a performance regardless

I miss Heath Ledger almost as much as Robin Williams.
Robin Williams would be the next joker I wanted to see

I agree did you know Robin Williams missed out on Joker twice first by Jack Nicholson then by Heath Ledger.
@@Thespeedrap I didn't know that, but I heard Wes Craven had him in mind for Freddy Crugger. Jeeze, I know he later played tortured dark characters in One Hour Photo and Insomnia, but characters that sadisticly evil and campy as Joker/Freddy? Just hard to picture - maybe his role in Death to Smoochy approaches that slightly.
Throw in Chester Bennington and that makes 3 of my childhood/adolescent heroes that are now gone.
Im so glad to see someone actually tell the true story of what happened. I hate seeing all over youtube people talking about how Heath 'became the Joker' when so many reliable sources have said otherwise. He was a depressed person, and when depressed people use drugs, even prescription, bad things can happen. I serious tragedy, but not because of the role that he played.
connor w but this is not the true story...
sal brouwer I'd say it's at least pretty close. Jules covered most of the research I've read on Heath over the years and it's all pretty reliable. Js
heath ledger was super happy in life, he loved his daughter, he loved his wife, he loved the role. He was always happy on set and just generally in life. He died because of an accidental overdose on sleep meds. He had a lot of trouble sleeping and his doctor gave him too many sleep meds which killed him.@@whiistlingwinds
sal brouwer obviously you don’t understand what depression is. When you’re depressed you tend to act as if you’re okay. Everyone thinks you’re okay when in reality you’re suffering. Yes he died of an overdose but the research shows that he was depressed as well.
The only marketing boost I see is the one in the head of the low piece of shit whom accepted money for spreading lies and envious ghosips wich would make the family of a great actor cry and curse this piece of shit. I hope you get the law suits quick so you get how stupid you are. RIP HEATH.

@@TheJeonyboy Ledger is the best. But there are major differences between the characters, and Joaquin had waayyyy more screen time.

How does shit filled India get WiFi
"A happy boy."
Just speaking from my own experience, depression doesn't mean you don't look "happy" around other people. I often have days when I feel and (I'm assuming) appear entirely fine, especially in social situations where simply being with other people and having fun is like a temporary high. I do some acting both in film and on stage outside of my primary job, and even on some of my worst days, I know I often appear overly excited and energetic once I'm there and working. It's a huge contrast to those moments when I'm really struggling, which a lot of people - including family members - may hardly ever see or recognize. I don't necessarily make a conscious decision to "hide" my depression, but it's rare that it will show when we have family over to play board games, or I'm in front of a camera, or having a conversation about something I'm passionate about.
The moments between those are when I'm usually hit the hardest. Having a good time can be exhausting, and once I've reached that point, it gets very difficult to try or even want to interact with other people. I'll go sit in the bedroom by myself, work on laundry, maybe watch RUclips videos in my car for an hour in the parking lot before going into work... Even if I recognize in that moment that I should get out of my head and go talk to someone or just be with them, doing so might feel impossible because I'm running on fumes emotionally and physically.
I'm rambling by now, but my point is that depression is rarely something that you'll be able to spot in others, even if you're close to them. I was having suicidal thoughts for years before my wife ever learned of it. It's not as though she only ever saw me at my happiest, but I hid from her and others when I was at my worst. I was too afraid to admit what I was considering, and too tired to gather the energy to beat that fear. Even now, I still hide it more than I should. It's not something that's just cured. It never fully goes away. Your depression doesn't stop when you fill your life with as much joy as you can.
So try your best not to hide it. Tell people about it. I know it can be hard to convince yourself that it's nothing to be ashamed of, but it truly isn't, and you absolutely deserve all of the help you can get and more, even if your mind is telling you that you do not. Don't just take care of yourself. Let other people take care of you, too. Let them know you don't always feel happy. Maybe they'll tell you the same. Share your struggles. Accept that you won't always be happy, but that you can get support when you're not. You can make it through.
Excellent comment. Bravo, good sir!
This is 100% accurate. Very relatable. Thank you for leaving this for people who relate to it but just need to know they are not alone and that getting help is nothing to be ashamed of.

The Truth About Joker in The Dark Knight
Heath Ledger played the role of 2 Jokers in The Dark Knight. In a standard deck, there are usually two Jokers. Only Christopher Nolan, Johnathan Nolan, and Heath Ledger were the only ones in on this secret.
There are 2 Jokers in a Deck of Cards and it was all to be revealed in The Dark Knight Returns but due to Heath's passing the World never knew the truth in revealing the true “Ace in the Hole” which was his Twin Brother.
Both Jokers are ex-Special Forces and Twins.
For the sake of my argument, I'd like to introduce the 2 Jokers, One Joker specializes in Explosives Ordinance Disposal. Which we shall call "EOD Joker" The Other Joker is Military Intelligence. Which we shall call "MI Joker" Both are very proficient Special Forces Operatives.
In the first scene, during the bank heist, The henchman asks Why do they call him the "Joker" and argue that "he thinks he can sit this one out" Where did they get the Bronco? Who supplied the Weapons, Gernades and Ammunition? It was MI Joker, while the Bank Heist was carried out by EOD Joker. Who supplied the Transportation? It was MI Joker.
In Regards to the origin of the Scars
Military Intelligence Joker states it was his father who was a Drinker and before executing Gamble While EOD Joker tells Rachel his scars come from his wife, getting into deep with the Loan Sharks, at Harvey Dent's fundraiser at Bruce Wayne Penthouse.
While Military Intelligence Joker tortured Brian (Batman copycat) EOD Batman was setting the explosives and mixing Ammonia Nitrate.
While Military Intelligence Joker carried out the attack in which Harvey was acting as bait, he was eventually captured and kept in Gordons Cage, While EOD Joker was wiring up Rachel and Harvey Dent. It was not Maroni's men that wired up the 2 locations, it was EOD Joker, who rigged the henchman, and the 2 locations. As an "Inside Joke" for his brother Military Intelligence Joker, EOD Joker switched up the locations in which Harvey and Rachel were being held.
While At the Docks, Military Intelligence Joker burns his half $6,328,000,000 of the 12.6 Billion Dollars ripped off from the Mob. While EOD Joker is at the Gotham General Hospital rigging up the Explosives which will bring it down in one hour. EOD Joker interrogates, Harvey and sets him free. They never state what happened to the Mob's other half this is a Major Plot Hole.
In one hour, it was not possible for Military Intelligence Joker to get across Gotham City to Gotham General. While GPD/Gordon was all over Gotham trying to find the Bombs which Joker promised to detonate if Coleman Reese was kept alive after one hour.
At the Tower, Military Intelligence switches place with EOD Joker and takes charge of the hostages. Arriving with Chechnyans Rottweilers who arrived directly from the Docks after feeding upon him. While EOD Joker switches places with MI Joker he finishes wiring up Liberty and Spirit ferries.
The detonators on each of the ferries at the end were linked to the bombs on the SAME ferry, not the other ferry. Both Brothers are huge into Game Theory.
During the “The battle for Gotham’s soul.” Batman saves Military Intelligence Joker, MIJ talks about his " Ace in the Hole." Many think it's Harvey Dent, which his brother freed from Gotham General.
In reality, it’s EOD Joker, who has left Gotham with the remaining fortune of the Mob. Which will be utilized to create more havoc around the world and lead into The Dark Knight Returns. While Military Intelligence Joker sits in Blackgate Penitentiary waiting for the return of his brother the True "Ace in The Hole." to break him out.
This was what truly was meant to happen.

matt davis I just said ok

The jokers character is a homicidal realist and Heaths take really showed the audience that, this man is a acting hero(for taking this role and really allowing it to consume his mindset) and a legend(for his outstanding performance and acting) RIP Heath
His performance is legendary, he is a legend. And as such, he will go down in history and never be forgotten. Rest in Peace Heath, may you finally have found just that, peace
In a way, his act, his path to becoming the joker, the loss of his mind and his death all made this the perfect joker story.
Man... The Joker is a dark, evil character.
I mean, look what he did to the man who tried to be as close to him as possible
Transante outstanding it's pretty scary... Joker can be in everyone of us. He's like a ghost. If u pretend to be like him you suffer and die
Look what he did to Harley....
Kuba Buba so true ? Look at "Inside GangLand" tv shows. Any gangbanger that takes or earns the street name Joker never turns out well. Playing with Darkness is worst than playing with fire.
Personally I daisagree he's misunderstood yes he's insane but he started out as red hood trying to provide for his family and of course fell into a vat of chemicals that sent him insane bit if you wanna speculate on this joker then he was a veteran in special ops forgotten (why he had no backround but military exp.) And broken when he came home there was nothing there for him the war for nothing but then again it's just speculation but evidence doesn't lie

Heath Ledger isn't acting Joker, he is Joker.
No ! he was acting.... he was nothing like a Joker, he was a kind loving guy !
That joker role is somehow haunting...both Ledger and Leto were somehow getting transformed to become their character at some point...Creepy...
Even jack nickolson has stated in the past that the joker role consumed him, I understand that mental health plays a big part in the actor’s life, but seriously, even the brand new joker in the stand alone film coming out soon, he also looks disturbed, with all due respects to heath losing his life because he was dealing with issues of his own. Even I experimented on myself and locked myself in my dorm room and put my mindset as the same as the joker, though i didnt put makeup on, i finally began to understand what joker truly is, he is the deepest, darkest secrets and desires of the humans mind to create chaos just for the hell of it, thats why i will always love DC, because if u play as a normal marvel villain or whatever, u get finished with the movie and move on, but when u become the joker, it still haunts u and that is because of this one very simple fact: No matter how pure and kind hearted we are, mankind will always harbour our demons, and while we can never get rid of them, it is up to us to keep those demons at bay

I've seen so many different versions of the joker, at least 3 live action and like 5 animated.
And his was the best, it still is.
I was a HUGE fan of Heath before his Joker role. And when I first heard that Heath was going to be the Joker I didn't want to believe it because Heath was always in heartthrob movies. I was definitely wrong when I saw The Dark Knight in theaters. Let's just say I saw the movie about 10-15 times in theaters because Heath was just so brilliant.
To me this is one of the best acting jobs ever. He became the Joker down to the DNA. Nobody ever was better fit for a role than this. I know it’s Heath but I still only see the joker when I watch the movie. I really don’t even like the movie much but I love the character so much that I keep coming back. True artist.
Cried after watching this.. Hate that Heath left us, and I feel bad about it so often, as he is someone I've looked up to for half of my life almost, but I am glad he gave us the greatest preformance I'll ever witness in my life, to remember him by..
You should listen to Michael Jai white talk about him. He did and interview with Collider
George Sharmar and Vladtv
Yes! That was very good. Really puts down all the people who believe the joker consumed him. I guess people always have to intensify a famous death and turn it into something elaborate. Smh.

There’s no dark truth behind Ledger’s Joker. The man’s death was accidental. He did an absolutely spectacular job playing this amazing character because he was a spectacular ACTOR. Deserved an Oscar dead or alive.

*He spent so much time trying to be Joker and get into the role he had a hard time getting out of it because he dedicated his life to that role when he found out he was Joker he really wanted to be the best he could he lost himself while doing it he really wanted to be the Joker and have the best Joker ever*
That’s some real dedication right there 🤘🏽💯❤️ R.I.P 🃏

As I get older and actors that I grew up watching, die, there are times that sadness overwhelms me. I didn't know Heath Ledger, he wasn't my favorite actor, but he seemed like a really nice, happy guy who was immensely talented and troubled. Tom Petty's death still hurts. He was touring on a fractured hip, that had become a broken hip. He took too many pills trying to cope with the pain, and one of the gods of rock and roll is just gone. Tom Petty is absolutely one of my favorites. My favorite author, Sir Terry Pratchett died a few years ago from early onset Alzheimer's. Any time it's early onset, it's is fast moving. I lost an author whose works made me laugh over 20 years, and it still saddens me. I still miss River Phoenix, and Chris Farley. Anton Yelchins death was tragic, as was Paul Walker's. Philip Seymor Hoffman was so talented. And Robin Williams who made everyone laugh, killed himself. It's just too sad. I wish you were all still here, happy and healthy.
Thank you Jules. Struggling with mental health takes its toll on the strongest of us. Don't be afraid to ask for help, we all need it sometime.
And yeah... He is the Greatest Joker ever and ever will be !!
Literally my favorite Joker and he was such a handsome person, so sad he died 😔😣
Heath was a phenomenal actor, and his performance as Joker was by far the best I ever saw in a live action movie. But acting at times can be very dangerous, you spend so much time trying to bring your character to life that you loose yourself in the process. I believe Heath was a good person, and I wish he was still here.
Sounds like he had bi polar to me. "Mind racing" "Unable to sleep". That would explain how he was able to churn out such an amazing performance on that film. He was probably in a manic state of creativity - which is usually when artists do their best work. It would also explain the sudden fits of depression that followed.
We all die. At least he died doing something special and leaving us with a performance that is going to be remembered long after the rest of us are gone. So I can think of worse ways to go.
Jeremy Dale awesome comment, I understand his pain
