The Joker and The Crow



Much have been said between the Dark Knight curse. Many of us know that Heath Ledger dies after finishing the movie The Dark Knight. The Dark Knight is now the third highest grossing film of all time now and the biggest movie this year.

A lot of people are saying that The Dark Knight is cursed because of the accidents that involved its stars. Heath Ledger's death, Christian Bale's domestic violence and more recently Morgan Freeman's Car accident.

But there is one thing for sure that makes me think. Is it about the white makeup by Heath Ledger in his portrayal of the Joker.

The white make up worn by actor Brandon Lee,son of Bruce Lee, in the movie The Crow resembles that of Heath Ledger's Joker.

Is it just a coincidence or a curse. Both characters are dark inspired creation. Ledger's Joker is the darkest among the Joker's portrayed in TV or movies.

Somehow this two guys give me goosebump when I saw their pictures. Two actors on the verge of superstardom taken by death at an early age.

What do you think, only a coincidence or a curse ?

By the way both movies were produced by Warner Bros.

I think it is just a sad coincidence that seems more sinister than it is. Hollywood is a small community of successful actors that actually get to star in movies. Heath Ledger did give the performance of a lifetime and I hope that he gets a posthumous Oscar for one of the most terrifying roles done to date.
