Heath Ledger's death was a result of acute intoxication caused by a combination of prescription medications. The autopsy revealed that he had taken a mixture of painkillers, anti-anxiety medications, and sleeping pills. Some of the specific drugs found in his system included oxycodone, hydrocodone, diazepam, temazepam, alprazolam, and doxylamine. It's important to note that Ledger had been struggling with insomnia and anxiety, and the medications he took were prescribed to him by different doctors. The combination of these drugs, along with potential issues related to their dosage and interactions, ultimately led to his accidental overdose.

I don't think it was disgust. Inmates in general put up a mean face all the time for reputation/survival reasons, it's as simple as that. And if the officer had wanted to blow up the other boat he would've. The reason he handed the detonator to the inmate was to transfer the power of deciding whether the other boat blows up to someone else. That doesn't necessarily mean he intended to blow up the other boat, it could just mean he didn't want to take part in the decision.

[@staygoner]

​​​​​@@ultimate0706 Is it really that big of a difference when the officer was quite clearly convinced that the inmate WAS going to blow up the other boat anyways? He's not giving him "the part in the decision", he's planning to make his part of the decision be the responsability of someone else. Plus, the inmate said "you can tell them I took it by force", implying that no, he couldn't do it himself but was okay with blaming the inmate because that mean he wouldn't be seen as responsible for the murder. Hell, he even looked surprised when the detonator was thrown out the window.

my 2 cents, i think the joker saw the world as it is. its a two faced world, with the right technique anyone can be exposed as crooked. we are the ones with the distorted view of an inherently good world.

[@anxiousearth680]

@@susane8 Practicality is a blessing. If you rationalise what we consider good and evil, you see that good has benefits regardless of ideology. And evil is simply unsustainable. And imo, the distortion of an otherwise functioning mind can actually come from the desire to be good. It's hardbaked into how we function. So when someone does something wrong they are forced to deal with the contradiction by twisting the definition of 'good'. A liar thinks that everyone's as deceitful as he is. The Joker thinks he's on a crusade to reveal the 'truth' of the world. Two-Face thinks he's being truly just and unbiased by basing his actions on random chance. At least that's my take on it.

@@Anubis-xk4ht Yeah thanks man, for letting the Internet know there are other actors on the planet. Holy cow, people can't even praise someone with some positive hyperbolic adjective on f*cking YT comment section without some dude jumping in to say "bUt..buT.."

Phoenix wasn't the Joker he inspired the real Joker who killed Bruce's parents in the Joker at the end of the movie.

[@BuckyJoe00]

I always get chocked up watching this scene. Right at the part where Joker says “I think you and I, are destined to do this forever.” 3:20 And it’s not because Ledger died too soon. It’s because after all the incarnations of Batman, whether it’s the old Adam West 1960’s Batman show or the Tim Burton, Jack Nicholson Joker. Or the many episodes of the Mark Hamill Batman animated series and even the Batman Arkham video game franchise. No matter what version of Batman you grew up with, Batman and Joker have always acted like this dysfunctional married couple. And they literally will continue to do the same thing forever. Joker gets caught and Batman locks him away, and then Joker breaks out of jail and the whole process repeats. And we as Batman fans will watch every incarnation of this, and love every second of this. I am forever grateful that I got to witness all these variations of Batman in my lifetime!

Not only that, but there is the archetypal significance at work. The unstoppable force, the immovable object, the two holy opposites which will act upon the world forever.

[@UltimaKeyMaster]

It's almost like in that near-death fall, he had some moment of clarity where he may have seen those incarnations briefly, knowing for a fact they ARE destined to do this forever. Maybe not the literal two of them, but as long as there is a Batman, there will *ALWAYS* be a Joker.

[@1nva0er55]

This movie and this actor truly, TRULY understood the character of the Joker. While Juaquin's acting was also incredible, the Joker is ultimately not about mental illness. He's not about biting back at society. He's about showing people that the meaninglessness of life should outweigh social norms. He's about chaos. And he will show Batman, who upholds merciless order, that chaos is the right way to go. Or die. And win.

[@masterpenguin8472]

Chaos, or panic in general, isn't the right way to go about things, is it? Sometimes, if someone's trying to wind you up, the best thing to do would be to just walk away.

[@wistfulgraph]

Joker (2019) was an origin story. Arthur wasn’t truly the Joker until he killed Murray Franklin. At that point was when he became the Joker. At that point he became of man of chaos.

[@shermanmcclesky6882]

That's what'd killed Heath Ledger. He was a "method actor"; such actors have a reputation of actually being the person who he or she is portraying, in order to get the desired effect on the screen. Heath Ledger used a series of drugs with the intent of literally driving himself insane, so that he could play the Joker the way he'd wanted to. Unfortunately, he couldn't pull out of it; he'd inadvertently killed himself in the vain attempt to please us, the typical unappreciative audience. May God bless his soul; may God forgive us.

He simply cannot fathom that out of 2 entire ferries full of people, not one would take the detonator and pull it. To him, people are inherently chaotic and evil, so seeing that many people decide they are not willing to kill others to save themselves is completely vexing.

I think they were just trying to make him look crazier lol. People really think that the writers tried to convey so many thoughts with the flipping of the camera. And we don't know whose decision it was to flip the camera, since drawing the story board usually involves several major department heads of the film. Shit this could have been flipped in post by the editor. And it could be that, Joker and Batman are seeing eye to eye, since the joker had an ace in his pocket with two face. Could be anything. I doubt its anything but "make him look crazier."

"All it takes is a little PUSH" Those last few seconds of Heath as the joker was absolute cinema gold. The way he delivered that line in such a fluent swinging motion, combined with the soundtrack. Your mind already knows what the Joker and Two-Face has done and is about to do, but in that singular moment your heart sinks with the weight of what it means. You feel pushed into the depths of the depravity, madness and internal rage of the next few minutes. Batman didn't just save Jim Gordon's son, he saved everyone watching that final scene with the coin toss.
