1October 22nd is the 10th anniversary of Heath Ledger's death. He will always be a crazy clown, gentle Ennis in Brokeback Mountain and lovely and confident Patrick in Ten Things I Hate You. Focusing on this role has left too many classic images, the most classic of which is the clown in The Dark Knight. That year, a movie "The Dark Knight" made us remember Nolan and Bell, but he impressed us the most. He completely subverted the funny image of clowns in the past and performed darkness and deformation vividly.
The image of the clown in the film is impressive and the scar on his face is obvious. There is even a saying that clowns cut their faces. Is it true?/You don't say. /You don't say. /You don't say. In fact, stills are just movie special effects. Actually, ledger, there are no scars. This is just a sticky prosthesis of the play.
There are two completely different explanations about the source of the scar on the clown's face:
1. Facing the gang, he said that the "devil" father killed his mother, cut it off with a knife, and kept repeating: Why are you so serious?
Facing Batman's girlfriend Rachel, he said that he cut off his smiling face with a knife to make his disfigured wife happier.
We all know that these two statements can't be true, but I prefer to believe that this is his self-harm. Because appearance is the best tool to confuse people. Many of his traps were covered up by appearances, such as the guard of honor at the funeral of the police station, and the "dressing up" of the hostages and kidnappers in the final duel.
The truth of Heath Ledger clown's face-cutting should be that American actress meg ryan attended the taormina Film Festival in Sicily. 5 1 year-old, suspected to have undergone head plastic surgery. Her tight face and lips disappeared, much like the crazy "clown" played by the late Australian movie star Heath Ledger in The Dark Knight, instead of Heath Ledger cutting her face to play the clown.
In order to ensure that this set of cosmetics can be shot all day under strong light, Caglion chose dry paint that needs alcohol to "activate". "Just spray some alcohol on it," he explained. Then the alcohol will evaporate quickly and the makeup will last all day. After applying beige makeup, Caglion painted a black hydrogel phantom of the opera around Heath Ledger's eyes, and then painted it.
After achieving the desired effect, I will spray some Evian mineral water on it, and then Heath shakes his head and moves my face, leaving traces of paint dripping around his eyes.
The last step in the makeup process is to put red lipstick on Ledger's mouth. It's almost like a ritual that Heath must complete before shooting every day. "I'm in charge of the whole makeup process," Caglion said. "Finally, Heath will personally put on red lipstick. He thinks this is a necessary step to enter the role. Clowns can make up their own makeup, so Heath has to make up his own makeup, so Heath always puts red lipstick on my mouth to finish it.
"Combine the comics related to the script, close your eyes and think about what you should look like." He once locked himself in a hotel room in London for a month and tried all kinds of possibilities. "Finally, I found the clown I wanted to show in the world of psychopaths. He is a man who has almost no conscience to condemn his actions. "
On the last page, he left these two words. He just doesn't know whether to say "goodbye" to this almost impossible "clown" image or to say "goodbye" to this world that is a bit too normal for him!
Heath Ledger, how did you die? Heath Ledger revealed your dark side before you died.
