Sunday, March 13 on TV: How Joaquin Phoenix forgot about Jack Nicholson and Heath Ledger

Sunday movie

Among the Joker’s famous character interpretations, the audience retains in particular Jack Nicholson in Batman 1989 and the Heath Ledger Dark Knight, Le Chevalier Noir in 2008. Both represent the Master of Absolute Chaos, who confronts Batman, their sworn enemy. (Michael Keaton for one, Christian Bailey for the other). And both are hailed for their performance: If Jack Nicholson is nominated only for BAFTA and the Golden Globes, Heath Ledger, starring Anthony Hopkins in The Silence of the Lambs, has been awarded SAG, BAFTA, Golden Globe, and Oscar for Best Supporting Actor. Further.

In 2019, Joaquin Phoenix captures the torch of these excellent predecessors in a project that deliberately stands out from the superhero blockbuster codes. The story of the origin. Especially appreciated is the performance of the actor, who significantly lost 25 kilos and got a pathological laugh, which was reduced to realism: “remarkable”, “hallucination”, “amazing”, “crazy”, “masterful”; Joaquin Phoenix is ​​”sensational”, “at the head of his game” … in fact, in addition to the prestigious Oscar, he won a BAFTA and a Golden Globe for Best Actor.
