Yesterday the world lost a great actor. He had a way to make people laugh, cry and understand the feelings he wanted to mediate. He just had a way of making people like him.
Heath Ledger was pronounced dead, yesterday at 15.42 (NY time).
Heath’s big breaktrough was in “Brokeback Mountain” where he played the Ennis Del Mar, a Wyoming ranch hand. He playaed opposite Jake Gyllenhaal, and this is also where he met Michelle, whom he later on has a daughter with.
But no matter how much I loved that movie, because it was one of the best I have ever seen, the movie I’ll always rememeber him by is “10 Things I Hate About You”. He played badass Patrick Verona, but turns out to be a complete softie and buys the girl he loves (Julia Stiles) a guitar.
One memorable moment is when he pays one of the janitors so that he can sing for Kat. “Can’t take my eyes off of you”. I bet that was true for many of the young girls watching this movie.
I wil also always love “Casonova”, why, I have no idea. It’s really not that great but I just can’t stop watching it. And I have never particurally like Sienna Miller but though she was rather good in this one. And it’s so darn funny, with him running around in every house in Venice and her dressing like a man on the convention thing.
Love the end too.
I also loved “The Brothers Grimm”, I just love the settings, Matt Damon and the fact that Heath plays a little sweetheart. And you don’t really get to know wheater or not Jacob (Heath) actually gets the girl. Even though we all hope.
“A Knights Tale” is also on my top ten list of best movies. I love him, and his friends. Especially Paul Bettany’s portait of Geoffrey Chaucer, the drunken gambler. But Heath Ledger in armour and in that green suit when everybody starts dancing. I just love it. I always will.
So when you look at all the celebrities running around, seeming to be completely happy. Stop, and think. Are they? Or do they smile because they don’t want anyone to see their fears? Take care of yourself, and remember. No matter how rich or famous you are, happiness is not something you get. It something you must fight for. And fight to keep.
With love and tears.
The Teenage Angel.
