So...satisfy yourself with this until I write something good...
I recently/finally saw the 90's film, "The Crow" - with the late Brandon Lee (pictured right) (left?), and was totally dumbfounded with the many similarities between this movie and "The Dark Knight." (split screen shown above) (that movie was balls-out!)
Ledger's Joker not only looked alot like Brandon's Crow, but his delivery, dialogue, and maniacal tom-foolery (oh tom...) were almost identical, except I think Ledger's performance is more nuanced in some degrees.
Additionally, "The Crow" takes place in a fictional city very much like "Gotham" city and the police constantly use verbiage such as, searching for a "dark vigilante" who is "creating chaos/disorder." (both very visual and visceral verbs)
I don't think Nolan or Ledger stole from "The Crow", but the similarities are hard to ignore AND I'm not the first person to notice this (obvi), I did some "research" (stalking) and found many a site dedicated to these two films. And Sadly, both Ledger and Lee died prematurely at the age of 28 during or after filming on both these movies.
I promise a very fluffy/superficial Maddie-style blog in the near future most likely covering disney channel or gossip girl! (let's go see Where's Fluffy! Tonight! behind the trashcan next to the hobo in the tree!)
Ridiculously yours,
Madison. (dawggggz!)
