    • @shauryaa5687
      @shauryaa5687 4 года назад

      @@ajpat9620 ledgers joker felt much better to me than Phoenix's joker. Yes, Nicholson, ledger and phoenix all portrayed much different kinds of The Joker but in terms of acting I think ledger completely stood when compared to any other joker. The more playful, insane, intelligent joker. The kind of messy joker makeup with the brilliant detailing of the scars on his face actually looked better than Phoenix's clean and immaculate joker/clown makeup. You could feel the tension everytime he comes on the screen and yet you would keep waiting for him to show when he's not on the screen. The fact that despite being the supporting character in the movie, joker took the spotlight from the Batman (this speaks more about Nolan's writing of the joker character in the film in a way tho) is enough to make him the quintessential joker in any Batman film. I think phoenix in the master gave one of the GOAT acting performances just like ledger in Dark Knight and if phoenix has ledger beat in terms of acting, it would because of his role in the master rather than the one in Joker.
      P.s I don't agree with ledger at no. 1 spot. Him and DDL's positions should be swapped imo but it's not that big a deal. Both deserve to be in the top 2.

    Hard to just pick 20, but Christoph Waltz’s definitely was a snub. I was expecting to see him in the top 5. Daniel Day Lewis is my number one. Ledger’s Broke Back could have also been a top 5. Same with Joaquin’s The Master. I also would have liked to see Bradley Cooper’s Silver Lining performance at least as an honorable mention. So underrated. Same with Octavia Spencer’s performance in The Help. Adrian Brody in the Pianist. Adam Sandler in Punch Drunk. Nicole Kidman in Dogville. Cate Blanchett in I’m Not There.
