  • The Joker is a character who appears in Christopher Nolan's 2008 superhero film The Dark Knight, in which he is portrayed by Heath Ledger. Based on the DC Comics supervillain of the same name, the Joker is depicted as a psychopathic criminal mastermind with a warped, sadistic sense of humor. He seeks to test how far the vigilante Batman (Christian Bale) will go to save Gotham City from descending into chaos and targets Batman's allies, including police lieutenant James Gordon (Gary Oldman) and district attorney Harvey Dent (Aaron Eckhart). The Joker embodies themes of chaos, anarchy and obsession: throughout the film, he expresses a desire to upset the social order in Gotham through crime, and defines himself by his conflict with Batman. Ledger's interpretation of the Joker is specifically influenced by the graphic novels Batman: The Killing Joke and Arkham Asylum: A Serious House on Serious Earth. In the film, he wears the character's traditional purple and green color palette, while his facial appearance includes clown makeup that covers facial scars of a Glasgow smile, and green hair. Ledger's Joker also explores techniques found in the actor's previous performances, including his clown act in Terry Gilliam's fantasy film The Brothers Grimm, while also referencing paintings by artist Francis Bacon, Anthony Burgess' novel A Clockwork Orange, and various punk rock musicians, as well as a vocal style rumored to be influenced by Tom Waits. Ledger's casting as the Joker was initially controversial but it is now considered his finest performance; Ledger himself regarded it as his most enjoyable. When the film was released in July 2008, six months after Ledger died of an accidental overdose, the performance received widespread acclaim and numerous posthumous accolades, including the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor. The character is widely considered to be one of the greatest villains in film history, as well as one of the most iconic interpretations of the Joker. (en)

  • 小丑(英語:Joker)是克里斯多福·諾蘭拍攝於2008年的超級英雄電影《黑暗騎士》中的虛構角色,基於DC漫畫的同名超級反派,由澳大利亞演員希斯·萊傑飾演。小丑是一名精神病態的兼大量殺人犯,具有扭曲且 充滿加虐性的幽默感,被高譚市的黑幫老大們僱用來殺死私刑者蝙蝠俠(克里斯汀·貝爾飾演),並與蝙蝠俠的盟友,高譚市警察詹姆斯·高登(蓋瑞·歐德曼飾演)和地方檢察官哈維·丹特(亞倫·艾克哈特飾演)發生衝突。小丑這個角色表達了混亂和癡狂的狀態以及無政府主義的主張:在這部電影中,他表達了通過犯罪來破壞高譚市社會秩序的願望,並通過與蝙蝠俠的衝突來定義自己。 萊傑對此角色的詮釋特別受到圖像小說《蝙蝠俠:致命玩笑》及《》所影響。在電影中,他穿著此角的傳統配色紫色與綠色,而他的面部特徵則包含一個蓋住臉上的格拉斯哥笑容傷痕的小丑妝以及一頭綠髮。此角更探索了萊傑之前的表演技巧,包含他在泰瑞·吉連的奇幻電影《神鬼剋星》中演小丑的舉動。另也參考了藝術家法蘭西斯·培根的畫、安東尼·伯吉斯的小說《發條橘子》還有許多龐克搖滾音樂家。萊傑被選為小丑的選角決定當初是充滿爭議性的。 小丑被認為是萊傑最好的演出,而他將其視為他最享受的一次演出。當電影在2008年7月,即萊傑因意外處方藥物過量過世的六個月後發行時,他的表演造成轟動,獲得廣泛讚譽及死後的獲獎,其中包含奧斯卡最佳男配角獎。世人也認為小丑是萊傑留下的最大遺產,令他在影史永垂不朽。 (zh)

  • "Everything about what he does from every gesture, every little facial tick, everything he's doing with his voice—it all speaks to the heart of this character. It all speaks to this idea of a character who's devoted to a concept of pure anarchy and chaos. It's hard to get a handle on how those elements combine. The physicality reminds me of the great silent comedians. It has a bit of [Buster] Keaton and [Charlie] Chaplin about it." (en)
  • "Inside. He's laughing red and black and red and black till there's nothing left to laugh. Until, almost tenderly, he turns inside out through his mouth." (en)
  • "Heath Ledger is magnificent. The Joker, incarnated with chilling authority by the actor, is simply one of the most twisted and mesmerizing creeps in movie history." (en)
