The famous actor Heath Ledger, whom many know about the role of the Joker in the film "The Dark Knight", died in January 2008. His death was a surprise not only for fans, but for relatives. In this regard, the press published a lot of materials in which the reasons for the unexpected death of Heath were expressed. In order to dispel the myth of suicide, Sister Heath Ledger Kate decided to shoot a documentary about his brother. However, the tape "I - Heath Ledger" caused an ambiguous opinion among the public and was criticized.
Kate responded to the famous Owen Gleiberman
After the documentary about Ledger was shown at the film festival "Tribeca" at the end of April, it seemed to many to be one-sided. Among those who did not appreciate the tape "I'm Heath Ledger" was the famous film critic Owen Gleiberman. In his review of the film, he wrote the following words:
"After viewing this picture, everything mixed up in my head. I know for sure that Heath often spoke with his friends about death. From the point of view of psychologists, such people are prone to suicide and talk about how he lived and enjoyed life without noticing problems, it is impossible. In addition, everyone knew that Ledger used drugs and recently tried to get rid of this habit. Why is this side of his life not covered in the film? It turns out that the tape is one-sided, which shows only the positive features of the character of the legendary actor, and all the demons are hidden in the backstage. I conclude that the film is shot about some very good, positive person, but his character is absolutely not disclosed. The viewer does not understand who Heath Ledger really is ... ".
After reading this review Kate Ledger, the sister of the deceased Heath, decided to answer film criticism, saying these words:
"We wanted to show our brother the way we saw him. He was a kind and bright man who wanted to live. The day before his death, we talked on the phone, and he told me about how he liked working in the tape "The Dark Knight". In addition, he shared with me his plans for the future. Heath dreamed to play in the continuation of this tape and even described a little how he sees the further development of events in the film. You can not throw words about the movie "I'm Heath Ledger," and if you knew my brother only as a public person. For me, he was primarily a native person without a hint of any demons, with whom we were very close. "
