The Joker

Hey This is cody....melissa doesnt know im doing this but i wanted to post somthing on our blog just to see what it was like. So as you all know I love Batman and this july THE DARK KNIGHT comes out.....any way....This is a picture of Heath Ledger who plays the joker in the movie. Why I decided to post his picture is actually because of a church published book that Mom and Dad have had laying around the house since Grandpa and Grampa Call died. They had an amazing libarary and the book we have is called Leadership. It's a collection of different article on this subject and one article told the story of a man who played the role of judas in a traveling musical of Christ's life and death. The man performed his part perfectly but eventually became severly depressed and burdened with guilt. The his roll as judas ended when the man killed himself. The article went on to make the point that we become what we most commonly act as. If we assumed the role of leader we will eventually become one. Interesteing enouph Heath Leadgers role as The Joker seemed to ware heavy on his death as well. I was reading a magazine at work about him and it stated he had had trouble sleeping since he began filming as The Joker. He described his role as sedistic and evil, a character with no remorse or regard to human life. seemed to me that the role was a tip of an iceburg of depression and guilt he already felt from his recent devorce and it seemed to much for him to handle. I dont think he intentionally killed himself but it seemed ironic to me. THE MOVIE IS GOING TO ROCK. thats for sure...
