I Am Heath Ledger (2017)

Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!

That was an excellent one.

Highly Overrated But Still Good

It is both painfully honest and laugh-out-loud funny at the same time.

Well, if you're like me and you grew up in the noughties/2000s, you knew his name and you knew the various roles he played in various films. It's also easy to say, Heath Ledger is nothing short of being a modern Australian legend who lived a wonderfully fulfilling and colourful life, but sadly left this world all too soon. This documentary sheds light on the late actor's life, produced and interviewed by some of his closest friends and family members. I was fascinated to hear how much of an energy driven person he was, so full of life and passion putting smiles on all those who knew him. Despite having the passion for acting for which he was an outstanding performer, I was also fascinated by his artistic lifestyle for painting, photography and filmmaking for which he excelled at brilliantly. I also thought It's imperative he would've gone on to do even more greater things that he was only just getting started on before his passing. However, despite all the money and fame he earned from the tremendous efforts in his life, I was deeply concerned how someone like him would eventually sense his own mortality. I may have been only a teenager upon being shocked by the news of his passing, although it never occurred to me due to his nature to take the extra mile and give all his challenges everything he had, that he would eventually be worn out to a point of almost physically and mentally collapsing. Everyone may have a dark side, but now that I'm older and almost close to the age of his passing, I'm still trying to figure out my life and how those like Ledger were able to accomplish so much before passing away too soon.Nonetheless, this film has such great vibes to really capture the spirit of Ledger's gizzard, even including various pieces of stock footage that Ledger himself filmed throughout his life. Peering into this window of his life was endearing as it was peculiarly curious to a point of showing how despite having been a decade since the late actor's death, this film goes to show his legacy still endures; being one of the brightest and inspiring figures of his generation.Overall this documentary is the definitive portrait of Ledger which both old and new generations can learn from, it was an insightful feel good facts trip into the life and times of Ledger as well as an endearing one to really get some intimacy on parts of his life the world didn't know. This film is the definitive portrait of Ledger for both old and new generations to experience for themselves, cause watching his movies aren't enough.

I Am Heath Ledger is a feature length documentary celebrating the life of Heath Ledger: actor, artist and icon. The documentary provides an intimate look at Heath Ledger through the lens of his own camera as he films and often performs in his own personal journey. I Am Heath Ledger is a documentary based upon the later actor's career both his personal one and his movie one and although the film shows clips from The Dark Knight and Brokeback Mountain i was kind of expecting a bit more effort to say the least but it was alright i guess? (6.0/10)

I'm not too familiar with Heath's movies, the only one I've seen with him in it was "The Dark Knight", but I've always been curious about other things he did in his very short life. This documentary is great, it shows the life of someone very full of energy and passion from the people who knew him best. It's sad how someone with that much heart, and soul, and creativity had to go out so early, but he left a great legacy behind. I'm also glad it showed other movies Heath had been a part of, instead of just his last one. It's inspiring at one end, but sad on the other. It does what it was made for, invoke emotion and celebrate someone who filled so many people with happiness.R.I.P. Heath Ledger

I Am Heath Ledger is a great movie. It is just great. The movie has Heath Ledger's family members and friends tell their experience with Heath and his life. The film is heartwarming and sad at the same time. It goes from Heath's family talking about his experience making films such as The Patriot, Brokeback Mountain, and The Dark Knight, and his joy making them, to the sadness throughout the time of his death within their family and around the world. It is a great film. It made me cry. If you are a fan of Heath Ledger and his work, definitely check this one out. 10/10.
