Heath Ledger Passed Away in 2008

The news of Heath Ledger’s sudden death shocked lots of people last week especially those movie lovers. I recalled I wrote about Broke Back Mountain after seeing the movie in which he was nominated for Oscar. I like the actor when I first saw him played Mel Gibson’s eldest son in Patriot. I appreciated his acting more after seeing him communicating the character’s anger and inner torment to audience in Monster’s Ball and Candy. It is Broke Back Mountain that establishes him one of the greatest young actors of our time (people comparing him to Marlon Brando and James Dean). I was looking forward to seeing more his movies but then he ended his brief and brilliant life at the age of twenty eight—leaving a young daughter who will grow up without him.
