Heath Ledger
I was saddened to hear about Heath Ledger's death. It's actually strange, how sad you can be about someone you've never met. Maybe it's because my roommate and I have been all exited about the Dark Knight for so long, and first I wasn't too happy to hear they had cast Heath Ledger as the Joker, but when I saw the first promo pictures I was really impressed and exited. We were eagerly waiting for the hype to begin and to hear all the interviews where Heath Ledger would have shed some light on how he got into the character etc. Now all we have is just In memory of Heath Ledger on the end of the movie. It's just so sad. Not to lose a gifted actor, but that he died in such a circumstances. If it was a suicide, its horrible and he must have had really hard time, but it's devastating, if it was an accident.
My roommate and I are going to watch Brokeback Mountain and maybe light a candle for him tonight. I know that it's silly, but I haven't seen the movie, and it's not because he was famous but because it feels horrible that someone so young has died. It's not like his life was more precious than others, it's just always easier to have a face for tragedies.
And while reading the news I stumbled across maybe the best descripson of our generation I've ever heard. Nicole Vaughan 24, was asked why she had come outside Heath Ledger's apartment and she replied: "because of the way our generation is; we sort of feel we’re a part of each other’s lives."
