Late at night, living room.

Heath Ledger sat on the sofa, holding a script in his hand, but stared at the "Clockwork Orange" played by the DVD player.

As an actor with rich acting experience, when he knows that he will play the role of a clown, he consciously develops this feeling.

In other words, he is a "wild" experiential school. If he can't even play roles, can he still hope that the audience will feel like he is immersed in?

While watching "Clockwork Orange" which was directly rejected by the conservative British market for director Stanley Kubrick because of his naked catharsis violence, Heath Ledger kept thinking and deducing it in his heart.

If he asked him to say it, he felt that the clown had a very big similarity to the protagonist Alex on the screen.

A character who is also full of evil thoughts in his heart.

If you only compare the ideological form, the clown is obviously more extreme, crazy, and more purposeful and means.

However, Alex has two major hobbies, one is to listen to Beethoven, and the other is to do everything evil. When he listens to Beethoven while being treacherous, his heartfelt pleasure expression... is simply.

Of course, Heath Ledger has not learned a similar social topic.

The theme of "Clockwork Orange" is actually to question people's sense of freedom.

If everyone has to live in a fixed way and principle, will people still truly enjoy human rights after the right to choose to be a good person or a bad person are deprived?

The film's spearhead is directed at social ideology, which expresses both free will and social ideology in extreme extremes - for dramatic conflicts.

Alex's naked pursuit of violence and pornography is indeed disgusting and even hated. This is why theaters at that time were unwilling to play "Clockwork Orange", especially the government could not accept such naked and extreme catharsis.

But it is precisely because of the extreme that the anti-human brainwashing method of the government in contrast will also make the audience extremely uncomfortable. In fact, whether it is personal violence or social violence, it is something that a mature and civilized society should abandon.

But then again, Burgess's novels are not considered first-class novels, while Kubrick's movies are definitely first-class movies.

What Heath Ledger wants to experience and learn is the only expressions and body of the actors who perform similar desires under the guidance of Master Kubrick, and the hope is to better replace another extreme character, clown.

After all, he was just thinking about the role and didn't need to know what social ideology it was, which was what director Nolan needed to be responsible for.

In short, this role has made him very interested, and he also likes to play such a challenging role, rather than a mentally retarded supporting role or a brainless male second.

It is not easy for an actor to meet a role he likes.

The same is true. Heath Ledger attaches great importance to this filming and wants to play the role in the best form.

Even after he thought deeply about the role of Joker, he sincerely thanked Lehman for choosing him to play.

As I watched, I suddenly felt irritated.

Heath Ledger knew that this was because he saw too much violence and seduced the negative inner feelings and emotional fluctuations.

If you want to be a clown, you don’t just rely on acting skills, at least for him.

Just as he was about to take calming drugs, Heath Ledger suddenly remembered what Leman said to him a few days ago, "If you are not feeling well, just put down the role and give yourself the buffering space. If you force your body too hard, it will collapse one day. You should not want to be a person who can rely on drugs to stabilize your emotions. You still have a daughter, you still have a career, and just squeeze it out will not last long..."

Then he turned off the TV and went back to his room to listen to soothing music.

......

Originally, Heath Ledger died of taking a variety of spirits and calming drugs, but it was not entirely because of the clown.

You know, from 2003 to 2006, his career almost stagnated.

If you can't get a good role, you have no fame; if you can't get a good role, you can't get a good role... This is almost a cycle of decline.

Before 2003, he was just a new actor. Whether he spent a few years polishing his acting skills or being familiar with acting, he could accept that he had not made any progress, because many actors came here like this and didn't have much burden.

But what about after 2003?

He has won the newcomer award and is a sprint stage that needs to rise up. If he cannot emerge yet, at least he must have a certain audience popularity and performance qualifications. What awaits him will only be forgotten by the circle.

When you are a newcomer, it’s okay to be a little down and out, but if you are always down and out, you will definitely have a lot of burden in your heart.

This has been the case in those years. The only thing that has been recognized was the art film "Brokeback Mountain". As a result, because of the sensitive subject matter, many benefits cannot be reported to the actors. Some people even rudely thought he was that.

These days, there are always audiences who characterize the character image as the actors’ private image. How is this possible?

Could it be that if he plays a noble, he will be really a noble, and if he plays a nerd, he will be really a stupid?

In addition, he is meticulous in his mind and the path he takes is the most likely to fall into emotional chaos. When he encounters a clown who has a large space, anti-social, and unity of knowledge and action, he is inevitably deepening his spiritual burden.

Moreover, he started taking medication before that because sometimes he felt inexplicably depressed and irritable. This is the impact of many drugs after taking them, and the deeper they get. But the reason is that the career is not going well, and the inner goals of the whole person are always different and cannot catch up.

To be honest, even if he doesn't play clown, he will have something to do if he abuses drugs one day.

The reason why it became a topic of death as a clown was that Warner wanted to eat money from death.

Similar things, you should also understand "Fast and Furious 7".

After all, most people in this world are prone to sympathy for the dead. With just some guidance, this sympathy can become a marketing case that maximizes the benefits and can be written into lesson plans.

You can only say that the character Joker brought him mental pressure, but you can't say that he died for a character.

An actor or an actor who loves acting can't do anything for a role that is just one side.

However, from the perspective of future generations, Warner's operation was indeed a highly operational means that conforms to public opinion.

Of course, this is not to say that Warner's black hearts are.

People don’t kill an actor just by making a movie. That’s a more cruel treatment after the incident happened.

But what about now?

Heath Ledger has a far wider stage than his previous life.

"Buried Alive", "Bad Guy", "Old Nowhere to Belong" plus many independent works he has taken on.

He has not lacked filming in recent years, but there are not many big shows and it is difficult to encounter characters with performance space, but his career is still developing very smoothly.

"Entertainment Weekly" commented that Heath Ledger is the most outstanding male actor under the age of 30. Such comments are very telling.

To be more vulgar, if he calculates the pay, he is also a male actor who has steadily touched the second-tier ceiling, which is much better than in his previous life.

And the reason why he cannot break through is only his image.

Heath Ledger's acting skills are very excellent among the same age group, but he is not handsome enough and is not an action movie star, so he is difficult to take on the role.

In other words, if you want to become a superstar, you either take the idol path and have high commercial value, or have unparalleled appeal in a certain subject field.

As for acting.

There are many more acting skills, and Meryl Streep is still an Oscar-sponsored man, and his salary is still low.

This is also the current situation of Heath Ledger.

In terms of value returns, he is obviously not high, but he is better than most actors because he already has a certain qualification.

So, in this time and space, he himself has a good attitude.

And because I can get a show and have a job, I don’t have to stay at home for a long time and get moldy.

Of course, I have not yet suppressed my emotions that require psychotropic drugs to maintain my usual mood.

Of course, because his own way of getting into the game will have more or less influence, but as long as the influence is controlled within a certain range, I have never heard of the Experimental School that will definitely not be able to get out of the role.

In addition, Lehman greeted him from time to time and did not feel that he was developing in a bad direction.

Now, he has also walked out of the cycle of decline and is still strong and stable enough in his heart.

The next day.

Heath Ledger received a call from Ledman just after breakfast.
