Oscar movies are not always that great.
The mere fact that Forrest Gump beat Pulp Fiction is proof enough.

It basically sucked. It is not even close to the hype about best movie of all time. Heath Ledger was a great villian but batman's voice, totally fake sounding. Michael Cain was pretty good as Q.
But the movie itself was disjointed, for instance, at the end, there were two ferries full of people about to get bombed and BM saved them but there was never even a flash to the boats afterwards. Save your money, go see Wall e🙂
I think the only movie Bale has been good in is The Machinist.

It's still ridiculous to say that he wasn't "noticed" when he won an Oscar nomination.

If I was on the boats (I'll assume I'd be on the regular people boat) I really don't think I'd pull the button. And I really think I'd vote for no. But another question would be if I'd raise my non-agreeing voice when the bald guy said he could pull the button. I like to think I would but I don't know.
If my family was on the boat with me, again assuming that I was on the normal folks boat, then I would vote for pressing the button as quickly as humanly possible! Then I'd have found the Joker and thrown him of the roof for being a total ****!!

That's your opinion. It's possible that I haven't noticed many Oscar nominated performances.

That's all my posts ever are... My point is that you might have thought he was nothing special but to say he wasn't noticed is something else entirely.

It's much easier to shine in the role of a madman than in the role of a man in love.

Honestly, I didn't know that Ledger would play the role so well. I always found him rather bland. It's probably true about shining in a madman role, but I'm sure he's played a man in love with a woman in other movies (some medieval-period movie, I think) and he didn't shine as I recall. Brokeback Mountain was a beautiful movie. I wasn't moved by his performance. Perhaps my post was too broad by using the word, "noticed," but I meant myself there.

I wouldn't say madman but complicated character. They seem to draw more attention than an everyday-joe kind of character.

He´s not exactly complicated is he really. He´s your common or garden psychopath with a touch of whimsy thrown in for effect. He´s a nasty Captain Sparrow, nothing more.

You want a complicated character go and see "Elin" or "Blade Runner". How about "Leon" or his little Nathalie Portman character, hell even Ripley in "Alien" has more depth.

He must be the reason DKn has raked in 400 mil so far.
