Everyone see The Dark Knight as soon as you possibly can!
I, myself, am speechless. In the words of Ty Burr, Boston Globe:
"You come away impressed, oppressed, provoked, and beaten down, holding on to Ledger's squirrelly incandescence as a beacon in the darkness.
So: Is the performance on a par with "Brokeback Mountain"? In its interiority - in the sense that it springs from a mysterious engine at the actor's core - yes. Is it Oscar worthy? Sure, if that's how you measure these things. In the end, though, the achievement's more than that, or harder. It makes you mourn a gifted man's stupid death with fresh and vigorous sorrow."
I am a little depressed, it's true. But the whole thing was seriously, seriously amazing.
